Digital heritage obtained by real and tangible heritage, is formed by computer material, such as images through passive systems or active systems, or other graphic material, such as blueprints.These computer materials possess and must preserve the same cultural, historical, aesthetic, scientific or ethnologic value as the buildings they come from.T
This paper briefly reviews recent work on gaseous plume impingement flows.As the major part of this paper, also included are new comprehensive studies on high-speed, collisionless, gaseous, circular jet impinging on a three-dimensional, inclined, diffuse or specular flat plate.Gaskinetic theories are adopted to study the problems, and several cruci
Hibernating 13-lined ground squirrels are characterized by tolerance of severe hypothermia and hypoperfusion during torpor, followed by periodic warm reperfusion during IBA, conditions which are lethal to nonhibernating mammals.The aim of the present study was to determine whether protection from apoptosis was specific to torpor arousal cycles duri
Biopsy involves the surgical removal of a tissue specimen for histopathologic evaluation.Most intraocular tumors are reliably diagnosed based on the clinical evaluation or with noninvasive diagnostic techniques.However, accurately diagnosing a small percentage of tumors can be challenging.A tissue biopsy is thus needed to establish a definitive dia
