Methods: Twenty-seven cases of MSCT images of malignant GIST proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Both plain and enhanced CT scan was performed and multiplanar reconstruction was made in all cases. Results: The lesions originated from the stomach (n = 11), small intestine (n = 9), colon (n = 4), rectum (n = 1), and mesentery (n = 2). The transverse diameters of mass were 4.2-22 cm, the edges clearly (n = 12), unclearly (n = 15). The mass were mainly irregular in shape Iobulated (n = 19). The lesions were mainly heterogeneity on plain scan, moderate to marked enhancement in arterial phase and durative enhanced in venous phase. Cystic necrosis were observed in all the lesions, 9 cases were cystic and solid mixed mass. Hepatic metastases (n = 4), pulmonary metastasis (n = 1), lymphatic metastasis (n = 2) were detected. The accuracy rate of MSCT diagnosis for location and pathologic features of GISTs were 85.2% (23/27) and 77.8% (21/27). Conclusion: Two-phase MSCT examination and axial images combined with multiplanar reconstruction images have important value for diagnosis of malignant GIST.展开更多

Permeation behaviors of ethylene, ethane, propylene, propane, n-butane, methane and nitrogen through the multilayer composite membranes were investigated over a range of operating temperature and pressure. The permeances of light hydrocarbons through PEI/PDMS/PEBA1657/PDMS composite membranes increase with their increasing condensability, and the olefins are more permeable than their corresponding paraffins. For light hydrocarbons, the gas permeances increase significantly as temperature increasing. When the transmembrane pressure difference increases, the gas permeance increases moderately due to plasticization effect, while their apparent activation energies for permeation decrease.展开更多

To investigate the gas flow characteristics in shale, based on a new dual mechanism triple continuum model, an analytical solution for MFHW surrounded by stimulated reservoir volume(SRV) was presented. Pressure and pressure derivative curves were used to identify the characteristics of flow regimes in shale. Blasingame type curves were established to evaluate the effects of sensitive parameters on rate decline curves, which indicates that the whole flow regimes could be divided into transient flow, feeding flow, and pseudo steady state flow. In feeding flow regime, the production of gas well is gradually fed by adsorbed gases in sub matrix, and free gases in matrix. The proportion of different gas sources to well production is determined by such parameters as storability ratios of triple continuum, transmissibility coefficients controlled by dual flow mechanism and fracture conductivity.展开更多

This way, the main objective of this work is to investigate the dynamic structural behaviour of a steel-concrete composite multi-storey building when subjected to human rhythmic activities (aerobics). The studied structural model represents a typical interior floor bay of a commercial building used for gym and is composed by three floor levels spanning 20 m by 20 m, with a total area of 3×400 m2. An extensive parametric study was developed aiming to obtain the peak accelerations, RMS (root mean square) accelerations and VDV (vibration dose value) values, based on two different mathematical formulations. The human comfort of the building was analysed and the vibration transmissibility related to the steel columns was verified. Based on the found results, the investigated structural model presented high vibration levels that compromise the human comfort.展开更多
