Objective: Carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV) is a regional marker of vascular ageing: our aim was to take advantage of Magnetic Resonance (MRI) and High resolution Echotracking (HRE) in order to non-invasively investigate the effect of age and blood pressure (BP) on different segments of large arteries. Methods:...

Pregnancy is associated with profound vascular adaptive changes. Cross-sectional studies show greater arterial stiffness in gestational diabetes than in normal pregnancy. However, the time course of maternal cardiovascular hemodynamics in normal and diabetic pregnancy can only be appreciated in longitudinal...

Objectives: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are susceptible to exercise-induced albuminuria even at submaximal exercise, but the mechanisms are unknown. Recent data indicates that T2DM patients have raised central blood pressure (BP) during submaximal exercise and this could contribute to renal...

Objective: Studies on changes in arterial stiffness and wave reflections during pregnancy are limited to cross-sectional studies. Our aim was to investigate maternal hemodynamic and cardiovascular adaptations at each trimester of pregnancy in a prospective longitudinal case-control study. Methods: Cardiovascular...

Omni-directional walking is an important part for biped robots.

1-dimensional polytropic gas dynamics is integrable for trivial reasons, having 2

We discuss the dynamics of an affinely-rigid body in two dimensions. Translational degrees of freedom are neglected. The special stress is laid on completely integrable models solvable in terms of the separation of variables method.

In this note, we present a result to show that the symplectic structures have been naturally encoded into the Painlevé test. In fact, for every principal balance, there is a symplectic change of dependent variables near movable poles.

This paper takes the intangible cultural heritage of textiles as a perspective and uses a questionnaire to understand the knowledge of Beijing consumers about textile intangible heritage and cultural consumption in Beijing, as well as the satisfaction of cultural consumption. This paper proposes suggestions...

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) waste or blondo was a by-product, which still contains many important nutrients, and has a potency to be included for the production of nutritious food products. Blondo still contains a high moisture, and so to extend its shelf life and expand its application, it needs to be...

Ad messages in cause-related marketing (CRM) motivate consumers’ anticipatory guilt if they do not do good things (i.e., do not purchase cause-related products). According to cognitive dissonance theory, consumers tend to purchase cause-related products in order to reduce anticipatory guilt for maintaining...

The module is one of the learning media that can make students master and achieve learning goals. The broad learning material in the module will be more difficult for students to understand. Therefore, it is imperative that the material be constructed into an idea in the form of mind mapping. Economic...
