    Un "flaminalis" procedente de Riolobos y otras manifestaciones del culto imperial en "Capera"
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2017) Ortega, J. (Julio)
    Una nueva lectura de esta inscripción de Riolobos (HEp 4, 1994: 246) permite constatar el primer flamen documentado en la epigrafía de Cáceres. Se completa este trabajo con un breve estudio de las manifestaciones del culto imperial en Capera a través de las inscripciones procedentes del foro del municipium Flavium.

    Radioembolization (RE) is a treatment for patients with liver cancer, one of the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. RE consists of the transcatheter intraarterial infusion of radioactive microspheres, which are injected at the hepatic artery level and are transported in the bloodstream, aiming to target tumors and spare healthy liver parenchyma. In paving the way towards a computer platform that allows for a treatment planning based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, the current simulation (model preprocess, model solving, model postprocess) times (of the order of days) make the CFD-based assessment non-viable. One of the approaches to reduce the simulation time includes the reduction in size of the simulated truncated hepatic artery. In this study, we analyze for three patient-specific hepatic arteries the impact of reducing the geometry of the hepatic artery on the simulation time. Results show that geometries can be efficiently shortened without impacting greatly on the microsphere distribution.
