Abstract:
The article is devoted to building various dilatations of linear operators. The explicit construction of a unitary dilation of a compression operator is considered. Then the J -unitary dilatation of a bounded operator is constructed by means of the operator knot concept of a bounded linear operator. Using the Pavlov method, we construct the self-adjoint dilatation of a bounded dissipative operator. We consider spectral and translational representations of the self-adjoint dilatation of a densely defined dissipative operator with nonempty set of regular points. Using the concept of an operator

Abstract Background Dilation is the standard of care for recurrent benign esophageal strictures (BES). Biodegradable stents may prolong the effect of dilation and reduce recurrences. Efficacy and safety of dilation and biodegradable stent placement early in the treatment algorithm of recurrent BES were compared. Methods This multicenter, randomized study enrolled patients with BES treated with previous dilations to ≥ 16 mm. The primary end point was number of repeat endoscopic dilations for recurrent stricture within 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcomes through 12 months included safety, time to

Let S be a set of points in the plane. What is the minimum possible dilation of all plane graphs that contain S? Even for a set S as simple as five points evenly placed on the circle, this question seems hard to answer; it is not even clear if there exists a lower bound > 1. In this paper we provide the first upper and lower bounds for the embedding problem. 1. Each finite point set can be embedded into the vertex set of a finite triangulation of dilation ≤ 1.1247. 2. Each embedding of a closed convex curve has dilation ≥ 1.00157. 3. Let P be the plane graph that results from intersecting n

Given a set S of points in the plane, a geometric network for S is a graph G with vertex set S and straight edges. We consider a broadcasting situation, where one point r ∊ S is a designated source. Given a dilation factor δ, we ask for a geometric network G such that for every point v ∊ S there is a path from r to v in G of length at most δ|rv|, and such that the total edge length is minimized. We show that finding such a network of minimum total edge length is NP-hard, and give an approximation algorithm.

Its working principle is based on the removal and addition of points from an auxiliary point cloud that acts as a structuring element.

The aim of this work is to provide a modification of the morphological opening to retain original points and attributes.

Next operations described in this work are opening and closing. Originally morphological operators were used for binary images only, later they were generalized for grey tone and color ones.

As hard rock mining progresses into higher stress mining conditions through either late stage extraction or mining at depth, the rock mass is driven not just to the peak strength, but often well into the post-peak until complete ‘failure’ occurs and easier mining conditions become evident.

As the rock mass progressively fails, fractures are initiated through intact rock and extension and shear failure of these and pr

Then we define process theories, and define a very general notion of quantum type.

Abstract:
This chapter begins with the way Wesely’s record-breaking pinhole photographs from Open Shutter (2004) use the effect of blur to connect relative rates of movement to larger histories as such. Similarly, Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (1929) is focused on racialised time lag not simply between two points on a single historical line, but between different histories that move at different rates and go their own ways. Here, the temporal aspect of double consciousness – of always living in someone else’s time and yet also located in a distinctive history marked by laggy access – connects with postcolonial treatments of time lag and the way in which historical behindness opens onto the tangle of histories that appears synecdochically in the plane of the present as heterogeneity. Finally, Hagedorn’s Dream Jungle (2003) stages the collision, overlap and differences between the story of Magellan’s ‘discovery’ of the Philippines, the 1970s hoax of the uncontacted ‘Stone Age’ Tasaday people, the filming of contemporary US history in Apocalypse Now in Mindanao, and the long-running Moro insurgency. Each of these texts contains a bullet-time scene in which the dilation of the encounter of disjunctive rhythms reveals a heterochronic assemblage of time-paths and historical frames.

Abstract:
The pharynx (Greek for throat) is a 12 cm fibromuscular tube extending from the base of the skull above and fusing with the oesophagus below. The pharynx is the common entrance point for respiration and digestion and is divided into the three regions based on its anterior communications—the nasopharynx, the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx. Akin to three cups stacked one on top of the other, it is composed of three constrictor muscles inserting one into the other from superior to inferior, and three longitudinal muscles enabling elevation and dilatation. The pharynx serves the dual purpose of channelling food via the oesophagus into the digestive tract and enabling air to be directed via the larynx and trachea into the respiratory system. The pharyngeal structures also assist in vocalization of sounds and equalization of pressure within the middle ear. Management of pharyngeal neoplasia is challenging and is described in greater detail in published guidelines. This chapter summarizes the management of benign and malignant neoplastic diseases of the pharynx based on its anatomical subdivisions.

Abstract:
COVID-19 infection affects many systems in the body including the coagulation mechanisms. Imbalance between pro-coagulant and anticoagulant activities causes a roughly nine times higher risk for pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 patients. The reported incidence of PE in COVID-19 patients ranges from 3 to 26%. There is an increased risk of PE in hospitalized patients with lower mobility and patients requiring intensive care therapy. Obesity, atrial fibrillation, raised pro-inflammatory markers, and convalescent plasma therapy increases the risk of PE in COVID-19 patients. Endothelial injury in COVID-19 patients causes loss of vasodilatory, anti-adhesion and fibrinolytic properties. Viral penetration and load leads to the release of cytokines and von Willebrand factor, which induces thrombosis in small and medium vessels. D-dimers elevation gives strong suspicion of PE in COVID-19 patients, and normal D-dimer levels effectively rule it out. Point of care echocardiogram may show right heart dilatation, thrombus in heart or pulmonary arteries. DVT increases the risk of developing PE. The gold standard test for the diagnosis of PE is CTPA (computerized tomographic pulmonary angiography) which also gives alternative diagnosis in the absence of PE. Therapeutic anticoagulation is the corner stone in the management of PE and commonly used anticoagulants are LMWH (low molecular weight heparin) and UFH (unfractionated heparin). Mortality in COVID-19 patients with PE is up to 43% compared to COVID patients without PE being around 3%.

Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an irreversible focal dilation of the infrarenal aorta. If left untreated, AAA will continue to expand and eventually rupture. Ruptured AAA is ranked as the 13th leading cause of death in the United States [1]. Accurate prediction of AAA rupture is critical for patient management. From a biomechanical point of view, this occurs when the stress in the aneurysm wall exceeds its strength. Therefore, reliable assessment of the risk of AAA rupture demands information on wall stress as well as wall strength.

Abstract:
The hypothetical “Dimming Effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a moving light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems, the “Dimming effect” may occur due to the growing distance of light sources moving away from the receiver. This means that due to the growing distance, the photons continuously require more time to reach the receiver, which reduces the number of received photons per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons. Understandably, the proposed “Dimming effect” must be tested (confirmed or rejected) through observations. a. This ar
