| Permeability changes, however, can merely be inferred, as pore throat sizes and tortuosity cannot be predicted from thermodynamics. |
|
| Thus the main diffusion hindrance for these molecules should be the tortuosity of the diffusion path. |
|
| Reflux that is associated with significant dilation of the ureter, pelvis and calyces, and ureteral tortuosity. |
|
| The tortuosity of the porous network is rationalized in terms of the ultrastructure known from electron microscopy. |
|
| Retention of the fetal tortuosity, stunted development, or complete absence may involve one or both tubes. |
|
| The tortuosity, defined as the square root of the ratio of D f to D b, was 2.14 and moderate in magnitude. |
|
| Late type I endoleaks occur when the repaired aorta decreases in size and tortuosity, which can cause proximal aortic neck dilatation and resultant loss of seal. |
|
| Interestingly, they report wind-rose plots indicating that MLCK inhibition substantially reduces cell motility by increasing the directional tortuosity of cell paths. |
|
| Atheroma is a discrete plaque containing lipid deposits that arises in the intima of an artery and has a predilection for areas of tortuosity and turbulence of blood flow. |
|
| The tortuous course of the splenic artery is considered so variable that no two arteries are alike, but the tortuosity of the artery is absent in infants and children. |
|
| Duplex ultrasound imaging may provide information on aneurysm diameter change, endoleak, patency, tortuosity and progressive disease. |
|
| Occasionally the optic nerve hypoplasia is much more obvious as seen in SLIDE 18 and is often accompanied by marked dilation and tortuosity of the retinal arterials and venules. |
|
| The total thunder waveform comes from the entire lightning channel and includes the effects of channel branching and tortuosity, sound propagation in the atmosphere, and acoustic reflections from the local topography. |
|
| The combination of contrast and non-contrast CT imaging provides information on aneurysm diameter change, endoleak, patency, tortuosity, progressive disease, fixation length and other morphological changes. |
|
| Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord. |
|
| Table 3 demonstrates some of the calculated parameters characterizing the tortuosity of the contour boundaries. |
|
| It can be expressed by other derived parameters such as sinuosity, curvature, tortuosity, curviness, or fractal dimension. |
|
| While the force applied to the coating is unknown in this test method, it evaluates the device in pathways that may simulate the tortuosity of the vascular anatomy. |
|
| A dermatoscope, if available, is a preferred alternative to an ophthalmoscope to identify vascular abnormalities such as tortuosity and loss of capillaries in the nail bed. |
|
| This paper focuses on methods and algorithms to estimate the morphological tortuosity of a medium and to reconstruct on discrete grids in 2D and 3D geodesic paths it contains. |
