Background: Effects of short-term interventions on large artery stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) have mainly been explained by concomitant changes in blood pressure (BP). However, lower body negative pressure (LBNP), which increases sympathetic activity (SA) has a specific effect on PWV...

Introduction: It has been long debated whether Arteriograph predicts cardiovascular events and/or all cause mortality, despite that its prognostic value has been proven in systolic heart failure and in myocardial infarction already. However, no data were available about the prognostic value of this method...

Without adequate capital to be a reserved fund for the failure of a business, a risk-taking entrepreneur might fall into bankruptcy and suffer trauma to restart the business. Unfortunately, literature sees that risk-taking behavior is a positive characteristic of an entrepreneur and makes it a linear...

Law is a regulation made to regulate the behavior of society where the perpetrators and victims come from members of the community itself. One of the actions that deviate from society is the crime of robbery. This problem is commonplace and no longer a prolonged problem. As a recommendation for solving...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health threat in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) with many challenges that limit its prevention and control. To understand how to meet these challenges, this study calculated the TB incidence rates (IRs) in KSA from 2005 to 2012, which were stratified by nationality,...

Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an established marker of arterial stiffness [1]. Local PWV estimates, however, are affected by confluence of incident and reflected waves, biasing the spatiotemporal propagation of the systolic foot (SF) in the distension waveform [2,3]. We, therefore, propose...

In order to improve these energy problems and environmental issues, many researchers have turned their attention to renewable and clean energy sources such as solar, wind, nuclear, and so on.

In order to have better performance, three rectifiers have been designed and compared, LDO and low-pass filter have been designed to obtain a high PSRR and a large...

With the continuous development of world music and music educational undertakings, orchestra has gradually appeared in various forms of musical performances; the kind of orchestral instruments also became more and more, so the design and implementation of an orchestral instruments sales management system...

Background: Low-flow mediated constriction (LFMC) has emerged as a non-invasive tool for assessment of endothelial dysfunction [1]. There is insufficient data on association between change in artery diameter during occlusion with its possible stimulus; ‘low flow’ state. This study aims to evaluate the...

As the rapid increase of traffic flow around the world, the development of the city is increasingly becoming saturated. The traffic flow theory that can guide and schedule traffic is needed. Traffic flow model based on cellular automata which is used to describe the freeway traffic flow model has been...
