Simulating Erosive and Accretive Conditions in the Swash: Applications of a Nonlinear Wave and Morphology Evolution Model

This work presents a new model for surf and swash zone morphology evolution induced by nonlinear waves.Wave transformation in the surf Train Sets and swash zones is computed by a nonlinear wave model based on the higher order Boussinesq equations for breaking and non-breaking waves.Regarding sediment transport, the model builds on previous research

Mycophenolate mofetil for the treatment of warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia post-rituximab therapy: a case series

Background: Warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (wAIHA) is an acquired haemolytic disorder most commonly treated with a combination of corticosteroids, rituximab and/or splenectomy.Third-line therapies for refractory cases include immunosuppressive agents.Mycophenolate mofetil is frequently used in these scenarios, although its use is supported by s

Allergen-specific immunotherapy

Abstract Allergen-specific immunotherapy is a potentially disease-modifying therapy that is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, allergic asthma and stinging insect hypersensitivity.However, despite its proven efficacy in these conditions, it is frequently underutilized in Canada.The decision to proceed with allergen-spe

FRICTION MODELING IN SIMULATING BALLISTIC IMPACT. A REVIEW

This paper presents a review on using friction coefficient Circle S Barrel Style Saddle in modelling ballistic impact.The are discussed on friction introduced in modelling the impact at different levels: micro (fiber and yarns), meso (woven or unidirectional fabrics) and macro (layered or equivalent monoblock structures).Recent works simulating the
