Open AccessReproducibility of semi-quantitative assessment of aortic valve calcification and valve motion on echocardiography: a small-scale study
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common degenerative valve disease in high income countries. While hemodynamic metrics are commonly used to assess severity of stenosis, they are impacted by loading conditions ...

Chapter
Nondestructive Evaluation of Coatings
Bulk and Rayleigh (or surface wave) velocities of ultrasonic waves in chromium coatings on steel were measured and an experimental correlation was found between the surface velocity and the hardness. Since qua...
