Abstract Background The clinical diagnosis and treatment of dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct in patients with ambiguous ampullary disease, termed unexplained dilation of the cholangiopancreatic duct (UDCD), is commonly difficult.This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of transduodenal ampullectomy (TDA) for the diagnosis and treatmen

We build and analytically calculate the Generalised Gibbs Ensemble partition function of the integrable Soft Neumann Model.This is the model of a classical particle which is constrained to move, on average over the initial conditions, on an $N$ dimensional sphere, and feels the effect of anisotropic harmonic potentials.We derive all relevant averag

Warm Sector Torrential Rains (WSTRs) occurring during the outbreak of the monsoon in May of 2015 in South China were studied using surface automatic weather observational data, sounding, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis interim Data (ERA-interim), satellite and radar data, and a four-level Face Mist nested grid simulati

Reinforcement learning has been used extensively to learn the low-level tactical choices during gameplay; however, less effort is invested in the strategic decisions governing the effective engagement of a diverse set SWEET of opponents.In this paper, a two-tier reinforcement learning model is created to play competitive games and effectively engag

Introduction/purpose: The paper presents a numerical simulation of an impact of a 12.7 mm projectile on an armored metal plate with a velocity of 500 m/s at a distance of 900 m.Numerical simulations offer the possibility of drastically reducing the time required to obtain results in comparison to the time required for planning, organization and exe
