다중혈관 관상동맥 환자에서 y-문합을 이용하여 양쪽 내흉동맥만을 사용한 우회술의 조기 성적

A recently published theory has suggested that a cloak of invisibility is in principle possible, at least over a narrow frequency band. We describe here the first practical realization of such a cloak; in our demonstration, a copper cylinder was "hidden" inside a cloak constructed according to the previous theoretical prescription. The cloak was constructed with the use of artificially structured metamaterials, designed for operation over a band of microwave frequencies. The cloak decreased scattering from the hidden object while at the same time reducing its shadow, so that the cloak and object combined began to resemble empty space.

Inverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Theory

On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in frequency from 35 to 250 Hz with a peak gravitational-wave strain of 1.0×10(-21). It matches the waveform predicted by general relativity for the inspiral and merger of a pair of black holes and the ringdown of the resulting single black hole. The signal was observed with a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 24 and a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ. The source lies at a luminosity distance of 410(-180)(+160)  Mpc corresponding to a redshift z=0.09(-0.04)(+0.03). In the source frame, the initial black hole masses are 36(-4)(+5)M⊙ and 29(-4)(+4)M⊙, and the final black hole mass is 62(-4)(+4)M⊙, with 3.0(-0.5)(+0.5)M⊙c(2) radiated in gravitational waves. All uncertainties define 90% credible intervals. These observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems. This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger.

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

We present a review of methods for the forward and inverse problems in optical tomography. We limit ourselves to the highly scattering case found in applications in medical imaging, and to the problem of absorption and scattering reconstruction. We discuss the derivation of the diffusion approximation and other simplifications of the full transport problem. We develop sensitivity relations in both the continuous and discrete case with special concentration on the use of the finite element method. A classification of algorithms is presented, and some suggestions for open problems to be addressed in future research are made.

Optical tomography in medical imaging

In this paper, we show that the single smooth coefficient of the elliptic operator LY = v yv can be determined from knowledge of its Dirichlet integrals for arbitrary boundary values on a fixed region 2 C R', n ? 3. From a physical point of view, we show that an isotropic conductivity can be determined by steady state measurements at the boundary.

A global uniqueness theorem for an inverse boundary value problem

We construct anisotropic conductivities with the same Dirichlet-to-Neumann map as a homogeneous isotropic conductivity. These conductivities are singular close to a surface inside the body.

On nonuniqueness for Calderón’s inverse problem

We survey mathematical developments in the inverse method of electrical impedance tomography which consists in determining the electrical properties of a medium by making voltage and current measurements at the boundary of the medium. In the mathematical literature, this is also known as Calderon's problem from Calderon's pioneer contribution (Calderon 1980 Seminar on Numerical Analysis and its Applications to Continuum Physics (Rio de Janeiro, 1980) p 65 (Soc. Brasil. Mat.)). We concentrate this review around the topic of complex geometrical optics solutions that have led to many advances in the field. In the last section, we review some counterexamples to Calderon's problems that have attracted a lot of interest because of connections with cloaking and invisibility.

Electrical impedance tomography and Calderón's problem

In this paper we improve an earlier result by Bukhgeim and Uhlmann
[1], by showing that in dimension n . 3, the knowledge of the Cauchy data
for the Schr?Nodinger equation measured on possibly very small subsets of the
boundary determines uniquely the potential. We follow the general strategy
of [1] but use a richer set of solutions to the Dirichlet problem. This implies
a similar result for the problem of Electrical Impedance Tomography which
consists in determining the conductivity of a body by making voltage and
current measurements at the boundary.

The Calderón problem with partial data

If an electrical potential is applied to the surface of a solid body, the current flux across the surface depends on the conductivity in the interior of the body. We want to consider the inverse problem of determining the conductivity by these boundary measurements
