Early Repolarization Syndrome: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018 An early repolarization pattern can be observed in 1% up to 13% of the overall population. Whereas, this pattern was associated with a benign outcome for many years, several more recent studies demonstrated an association between early repolarization and

Lagrangian particle simulation of hydrogen pellets and SPI into runaway electron beam in ITER [PDF]
, 2022 Numerical studies of the ablation of pellets and shattered pellet injection (SPI) fragments into a runaway electron beam in ITER have been performed using a time-dependent pellet ablation code [R. Samulyak at el., Nucl Fusion, 61 (4), 046007 (2021)]. The code resolves detailed ablation physics near pellet fragments and large-scale expansion of ablated ...
