Standing waves are a phenomenon of uncertain etiology seen on imaging. We present the first case demonstrating standing waves on computed tomography angiography in multiple vessels in a single patient with imaging evidence of resolution in some of the vessels. Our case further supports the literature that standing waves are a physiologic phenomenon, likely because of flow mechanics, rather than modality.

Adaptation in complex systems implies a natural ability to change. In networks, adaptation may include a change in structural connectivity, which can lead to a change in collective behavior. When dihedral symmetry is present, i.

Background: Various methods have been devised for catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it remains difficult to understand the mechanism of AF and to determine the optimal method.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rotor modification (RM) compared to posterior wall isolation (PWI) in the treatment of persistent AF.

Introduction: A substantial body of research validates the application of endoscopic ultrasound in adults in the management of biliary and pancreatic conditions. There is limited data regarding its impact on children, although its use has steadily increased over the years. This study aims to assess long-term data on indications, efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound in pediatric patients.

In recent years, various devices utilizing surface acoustic waves (SAW) have emerged as powerful tools for manipulating particles and fluids in microchannels. Although they demonstrate a wide range of functionalities across diverse applications, existing devices still face limitations in flexibility, manipulation efficiency, and spatial resolution. In this study, we developed a dual-sided standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) device that simultaneously excites acoustic waves through two piezoelectric substrates positioned at the top and bottom of a microchannel.

Traditionally, mechanical bending tests are used to measure the stiffness of lumber, which is generally represented by the static modulus of elasticity (MoE). However, it is desirable to measure the stiffness of wood before it is processed into lumber. Acoustic nondestructive testing techniques are therefore the main techniques used by the wood industry to estimate the dynamic MoE of wood.
