Numb Chin Syndrome as First Symptom of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma by Mario Carbone, Francesco Della Ferrera, Lucio Carbone, Gaia Gatti, Marco Carrozzo

“…The authors report a case of a 71-year-old woman in which the numb chin syndrome was the first symptom of the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which caused infiltration and reabsorption of the alveolar ridge and lower mandibular cortex. A biopsy of the mass was performed on fragments of tissue collected from the mandibular periosteum, medullary and cortical mandibular bone, and inferior alveolar nerve.…”

A Novel Multivariate Spectral Local Quasilinearization Method (MV-SLQLM) for Modelling Flow, Moisture, Heat, and Solute Transport in Soil by Elias Mwakilama, Vusi Magagula, Duncan Gathungu

“…This work proposes and applies a multivariate spectral local quasilinearization method (MV-SLQLM) to model the transportation and interaction of soil moisture, heat, and solute concentration in a nonbare soil ridge. The MV-SLQLM uses a quasilinearization method (QLM) to linearize any nonlinear equations and then employs a local linearization method (LLM) to decouple the linearized system of PDEs to form a sequence of equations that are solved in a computationally efficient manner. …”

Research on Mesoscopic Response of Asphalt Pavement Structure under Vibration Load by Zhanyou Yan, Enli Chen, Zhen Wang, Chundi Si

“…The results show that the number of cracks increases rapidly on both sides of the vibration load, the rut is generated due to repeated load on the wheel, the asphalt mixture has bulging phenomenon on both sides of the rut and formed macroscopic cracks at the ridge, the microcracks extend mainly along the weak joints of the edges of the coarse aggregate and the asphalt cement, the number of microcracks increases slowly at the initial stage of the vibration load, the microcracks increase sharply until macroscopic cracks appear with the vibration load increases, the direction of compressive stress extends parallel to the microcrack, and the direction of tensile stress extends perpendicular to the microcracks inside the asphalt pavement. …”
