The strut chordae (SC) have a unique structure and play an important role in reinforcing the tunnel-shaped configuration of the mitral valve (MV) at the inflow and outflow tracts.We investigated the effect of varying the SC insertion location on normal MV function and dynamics to better understand the complex MV structures.A virtual parametric MV m

Abstract Background Mycoheterotrophic plants are one of the BANANA most difficult plant groups to conserve because they are entirely dependent on symbiotic fungi.Establishment of viable culture systems would greatly aid their conservation.We describe a simple culture system for the mycoheterotrophic orchid, Gastrodia pubilabiata, that does not requ
In this paper, an improved LT code with a reverse coding framework is designed Storage to reduce the error floor caused by low-degree information nodes.For the proposed coding scheme, a well-designed threshold is used to mark the information nodes whose degrees are less than the threshold, and these nodes will be coded reversely to connect to enoug
