We prove analytic criteria for the existence of finite-time attracting and repelling material
surfaces and lines in three-dimensional unsteady flows. The longest lived such structures define …

Background and Objectives Patient‐centered care is recommended by the Institute of
Medicine to build a better healthcare system. The aim of this study was to audit patient‐centered …

Recent financial turmoil has made project and infrastructure financing in emerging markets
more difficult. One helpful approach in getting deals done is the combination of insurance …

Purpose: To determine the relationship, in patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon, between
survival and the number of lymph nodes analyzed from surgical specimens. Patients and …

Secondary flow losses, caused by endwall three-dimensional (3D) vortex flows, are
significant in short height turbine stages. Such complex flow structures and losses can only be …

Anisotropy of physical properties usually carries with it the connotation of the existence of a
solid lattice and an associated mechanical rigidity. Most of the crystalline solids lose upon …

Treatment of silicon or gallium arsenide with the refluxing vapors of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane
in toluene or xy-lene solution results in a strictly monolayer coverage of the surface …

We introduce a simple variational principle for coherent material vortices in two-dimensional
turbulence. Vortex boundaries are sought as closed stationary curves of the averaged …

Background: Studies that use registry data have demonstrated superior long-term overall
survival after curative surgical resection of colon cancer at hospitals where the volume of such …
