Accessory Renal Artery Stenosis and Secondary Hypertension
Background.Secondary hypertension is an uncommon cause of hypertension with extensive workup not recommended in most patients; however, further evaluation is generally recommended cestrum orange peel in young patients presenting with hypertension.Case Presentation.A 31-year-old female presented with history of elevated blood pressures.Secondary hyp
Research on Temperature Rise Characteristics Prediction of Main Shaft Dual-Rotor Rolling Bearings in Aircraft Engines
Traditional aero-engine bearings rotate simultaneously with their inner and outer rings, which makes the temperature rise prediction model computationally large with low accuracy, and it cannot be accurately verified due to the means of testing.This paper presents a method for predicting the temperature rise characteristics of aero-engine bearings
Continuous Coastal Monitoring with an Automated Terrestrial Lidar Scanner
This paper details the collection, geo-referencing, and data processing algorithms for a fully-automated, permanently deployed terrestrial lidar system wavertree and london cosmopolitan candle for coastal monitoring.The lidar is fixed on a 4-m structure located on a shore-backing dune in Duck, North Carolina.Each hour, the lidar collects a three-di
