Abstract

Undescended testes is one of the most common congenital abnormalities in boys. In cases of impalpable testes, ultrasound is often used to find the testis, which frequently provides false-negative results. Recently, laparoscopy has become popular in the management of impalpable testes. [...]

Abstract

Abdominal ultrasonography was performed in six healthy adult brown howler monkeys Alouatta fusca and the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of the liver, gallbladder, stomach and urinary tract described for the first time. Findings were compared with post-mortem studies. The renal cortex [...]

Abstract

The scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) excels as a tool for numerical analysis at particular problem setups where the analytical solution in the scaling direction can be exploited to improve computational efficiency by reducing the number of required degrees of freedom [...]

Abstract

Connecting different domains is one possibility to increase the performance of a numerical solution method. The Mortar Method is one of the well-established methods for this task. In this contribution, we focus on the solution of the elastodynamic wave equation by means of the scaled [...]
