Randomized trial of conventional transseptal needle versus radiofrequency energy needle puncture for left atrial access (the TRAVERSE-LA study). [PDF]
BackgroundTransseptal puncture is a critical step in achieving left atrial (LA) access for a variety of cardiac procedures. Although the mechanical Brockenbrough needle has historically been used for this procedure, a needle employing radiofrequency (RF)

Constraint damping for the Z4c formulation of general relativity [PDF]
One possibility for avoiding constraint violation in numerical relativity simulations adopting free-evolution schemes is to modify the continuum evolution equations so that constraint violations are damped away. Gundlach et. al.

Mechanical properties of maize kernel horny endosperm, floury endosperm and germ
Mechanical damage of maize kernel caused by external forces during processing is closely related to its internal mechanical properties. In this research, three main tissues’ (horny endosperm, floury endosperm and germ) mechanical properties of three ...

A Multi-Parameter Approach for Apricot Texture Analysis
Apricots have a short storage life principally caused by a rapid softening, which increases the sensitivity of the fruit to mechanical damage, and to the development of fungal diseases.
