It is commonly seen in middle-aged Caucasian Mediterranean males, while its etiology is still not clear. The majority of the patients with BSL have a history of alcohol abuse and hepatopathy. BSL of the limbs is very rare. This article reports a unique case of a 60-year-old Chinese woman with involvement of the knees confirmed by the results of magnetic resonance imaging(MR1) and histopathology, which was not described previously in published literatures.展开更多

We propose also a block version of Paige and Saunders’ MINRES method for iterative solution of symmetric linear systems, and describe important implementation details. We establish a relationship between the block Lanczos algorithm and block MINRES algorithm, and compare the numerical performance of the Lanczos algorithm and MINRES method for symmetric linear systems applied to a sequence of right hand sides with that of the block Lanczos algorithm and block MINRES algorithm for multiple linear systems simultaneously.[WT5,5”HZ]展开更多

This problem is formulated into dual integral equations, in which the unknown variables are the displacement jumps across the crack surfaces. In order to obtain the dual integral equations, the displacement jumps across the crack surfaces are directly expanded as a series of Jacobi polynomials. The results show that the stress, the electric displacement, and the magnetic flux intensity factors of cracks depend on the crack length, the functionally graded parameter, and the distance among the multiple parallel cracks. The crack shielding effect is also obviously presented in a functionally graded piezoelectric/piezomagnetic material plane with mul- tiple parallel symmetric mode-III cracks.展开更多
