Background—Fluid energy loss across stenotic aortic valves is influenced by factors other
than the valve effective orifice area (EOA). We propose a new index that will provide a more …

Background—We sought to investigate the use of a new parameter, the projected effective
orifice area (EOAproj) at normal transvalvular flow rate (250 mL/s), to better differentiate …

We show that parton-parton scattering processes in QCD drive a rapid increase in the proton-
proton scattering cross section at high energies, and use a diffraction-scattering formalism to …

Objectives: We sought to obtain more coherent evaluations of aortic stenosis severity.
Background: The valve effective orifice area (EOA) is routinely used to assess aortic stenosis …

Photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, nitrogen use efficiency, and related
leaf traits of native Hawaiian tree ferns in the genus Cibotium were compared with those of …
