An extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that primarily involves the lung. The radiographical discovery of a pulmonary lesion in an asymptomatic patient is the most common clinical presentation. In general, the prognosis of a localized extranodal pulmonary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type is excellent. We report a case of a 61-year-old man who sought evaluation of an incidentally discovered mass in the lung.

Bingöl, a city in eastern Türkiye, is located at a very close distance to the Karlıova Region which is a junction point of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone. By bilateral step over of North Anatolian Fault Zone and Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone each other there occurred NorthWest-SouthEast extended right-lateral and NorthEast-SouthWest extended left-lateral fault zones. In this paper, a typical school building located in Bingöl Çeltiksuyu was selected as the case study. Information on the school building and Bingöl Earthquake (2003) have been given in the paper. This study aimed to determine the fragility curves of the school building according to HAZUS 2022, Turkish Seismic Codes 1998, 2007 and 2018. These codes have been introduced in terms of damage limits. Incremental dynamic analysis is a parametric analysis method that has recently emerged in several different forms to estimate more thoroughly structural performance under seismic loads. Fragility analysis is commonly using to estimate the damage probability of buildings. Incremental Dynamic Analysis have performed, and 1295 Incremental Dynamic Analysis output was evaluated to obtain fragility curves. 20 different ground motion records have been selected with magnitudes between 5.6M and 7.6M. Scaling factors of these ground motions were selected between 0.1g and 2g. Comparison has been made between HAZUS 2022 and Turkish Seismic Codes 1998, 2007 and 2018 in terms of damage states and how they affected fragility curves. TSC 1998 has more conservative strictions along with TSC 2018 than TSC2007 and HAZUS moderate and extensive damage limits.

A numerical analysis is achieved to elucidate the behavior of lifted flames and characteristics of flow near flame zone according to the exit velocity of triple flame, Poiseuille and uniform distribution. For the cases of Poiseuille and uniform nozzle exit velocity, we reviewed previous results with the present numerical results and investigated characteristics of the flame structure near the flame zone comparing with liftoff height generalized by momentum flux. In addition, a close inquiry into the combustion flow characteristics near flame zone was made with the characteristics of velocity, pressure, temperature and chemical reaction. From nozzle to flame zone, center line velocity profile traced well with the velocity profile of typical cold jet flow, but very near the flame zone, this study examined phenomenon that flow velocity decreases very quickly before the flame zone and then increases very quickly after the flame zone. Because flame zone acts as a barrier at the flow region which is before the flame zone and accelerate the flow velocity when it pass through the flame zone. This phenomenon was not clarified previous cold jet flow.

This study attempts to facilitate climate change adaptation in conservation area by spatial planning of climate adaptation zone for endangered species. Spatial area is South Korea and select leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) as a target species of this study. In order to specify the climate adaptation zone, firstly, Maximum entropy method (Maxent) was used to identify suitable habitat, and then core habitat was selected for leopard cat. Secondly, land use resistance index was evaluated and least cost distance was analyzed for target species. In this step we choose dispersal capacity of leopard cat to reflect species ecological characteristic. Finally, climate adaptation zone is described and adaptation measures are suggested. The presented approach could be generalized for application into conservation planning and restoration process. Furthermore, spatial planning of climate adaptation zone could increase heterogeneity of habitat and improve adaptive capacity of species and habitat itself.

Novel thermo-optically focus-switchable Fresnel zone plates based on phase-change metafilms are designed and analyzed at a visible wavelength (660 nm). By virtue of the large thermo-optic response of vanadium dioxide (VO₂) thin film, a phase-change material, four different plasmonic phase-change absorbers are numerically designed as actively tunable Gires-Tournois Al-VO₂ metafilms in two and three dimensions. The designed phase-change metafilm unit cells are used as the building blocks of actively focus-switchable Fresnel zone plates with strong focus switching contrast (40%, 83%) and high numerical apertures (1.52, 1.70). The Fresnel zone plates designed in two and three dimensions work as cylindrical and spherical lenses in reflection type, respectively. The coupling between the thermo-optic effect of VO₂ and localized plasmonic resonances in the Al nanostructures offer a large degree of freedom in design and high-contrast focus-switching performance based on largely tunable absorption resonances. The proposed method may have great potential in photothermal and electrothermal active optical devices for nonlinear optics, microscopy, 3D scanning, optical trapping, and holographic displays over a wide spectral range including the visible and infrared regimes.

Purpose: Zone I fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone can generally be treated by conservative methods while both surgical and conservative methods are used for zone II fractures. However, the clinical results of conservative treatment have been rarely reported. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical results of conservative treatment for zone I and II nondisplaced fractures. Materials and Methods: Between July 2007 and August 2008, consecutive thirty seven patients (38 fractures) with zone I and II fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone were treated with tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization based on pain on weight bearing. We evaluated the duration of immobilization, time to clinical and radiographic union, and time to pre-injury activity level. Results: Clinical and radiological union were achieved in all patients without any complications including malunion or nonunion. The mean duration of immobilization was 28.7 days. The mean 33.1 days and 48.9 days were required for clinical union and radiographic union respectively, after the initial injury. The mean time to pre-injury activity level was 4.8 months. Conclusion: Our study shows that the acute nondisplaced zone I, II fracture of fifth metatarsal bone can be treated effectively using tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization, which is based on the pain on weight bearing.

This paper focuses on the deformation behavior of tunnels crossing a weak zone in conventional tunneling. A three-dimensional finite element model was adopted that allows realistic modeling of the tunnel excavation and the support installation. Using the 3D FE model, a parametric study was conducted on a number of tunneling cases with emphasis on the spatial characteristics of the weak zone such as the strike and dip angle, and on the initial stress state. The results of the analyses were thoroughly examined so that the three-dimensional tunnel displacements at the tunnel crown and the sidewalls can be related to the spatial characteristic of the weak zone as well as the initial stress state. The results indicate that the effectiveness of the absolute displacement monitoring data as early warning indicators depends strongly on the spatial characteristics of the weak zone. It is also shown that proper interpretation of the absolute monitoring data can provide not only early warning for a weak zone outside the excavation area but also information on the orientation and the extent of the weak zone. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

A combustion of CAI engine is purely dominated by fuel chemical reactions. In order to simulate the combustion of CAI engine, it should be considered the effect of fuel components and chemical kinetics. So it needs enormous computational power. To overcome this problem reduced problem of needing massive computational power, chemical kinetic mechanism and multi-zone method is proposed here in this paper. A reduced chemical kinetic mechanism for a gasoline surrogate was used in this study for a CAI combustion. This gasoline surrogate was modeled as a blend of iso-octane, n-heptane, and toluene. For the analysis of CAI combustion, a multi-zone method as combustion model for a CAI engine was developed and incorporated into the computational fluid dynamics code, STAR-CD, for computing efficiency. This coupled multi-zone model can calculate 3 dimensional computational fluid dynamics and multi-zoned chemical reaction simultaneously in one time step. In other words, every computational cell interacts with the adjacent cells during the chemical reaction process. It can enhance the reality of multi-zone model. A greatly time-saving and yet still relatively accurate CAI combustion simulation model based on the above mentioned two efficient methodologies, is thus proposed.
