Background: Abdominal obesity is a clinical setting recognized as a difficult situation to assess transcutaneous pulse wave velocity (PWV). PWV measurement between carotid and femoral sites is considered as the gold standard measurement of aortic stiffness. Arterial stiffness is an important parameter...

Objectives: Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is usually estimated by sequential (ECG referenced) carotid-femoral tonometry using the SphygmoCor system (Atcor, Australia). This can be technically challenging and operator dependant. Here we evaluate a simple, operator independent method of estimating central...

Objectives. The BPGUIDE study was a prospective, blinded-endpoint study in 286 hypertensive patients randomised to treatment decisions guided by best-practice usual care (n = 142) or in addition by central BP measurement (n = 144; using SphygmoCor) over twelve months. This study aimed to undertake a...

The rationale for this research is the development of the concept of waterfront city development that has been widely adopted by many countries in the world.

Figure 1AA and CCA pulse waveform measured during 6 heartbeats in 1 volunteer. Cardiac and arterial function is reflected in the distension (change in diameter) waveforms of central arteries. For analyses, commonly the distension waveform of the common carotid artery (CCA) is used, as the CCA is superficial...

Investigating prognostic significance of elastic and non-elastic PP components Methods. Using a generalized nonlinear pressure–volume relationship in arteries (Fig. 1), PP can be split into...

Atherosclerosis is a pathological process affecting arterial elasticity. The rabbit is one of the most widely used animal models for atherosclerosis research. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a method for the automatic assessment of local vascular stiffness in rabbits. An off-line...

Objective. We have shown that regression of brachial stiffness is inversely related to aortic stiffness in dialysis patients. In this study, we sequentially examine the impact of aortic stiffness, brachial stiffness and aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch on mortality in dialysis patients. Design and...

Compare the WSN with other conventional network system, the changing or charging the existing battery of sensor node within WSN is a tough job. Therefore, since last decade the effort has been made to design and introduce a large number of communication protocol for WSN with given concern on the performance...

In the Propp-based story generation mechanisms and the integrated narrative generation system which we have been developing, the former functions is a module in the latter. These systems have used respective event generation mechanisms to generated events which are the most important units in a narrative...

The Singular Manifold Method (SMM) is applied to an equation in 2 + 1 dimensions [13] that can be considered as a generalization of the sine-Gordon equation. SMM is useful to prove that the equation has two Painlevé branches and, therefore, it can be considered as the modified version of an equation...

We introduce the notion of a ghost characteristic for nonlocal differential equations. Ghosts are essential for maintaining the validity of the Jacobi identity for the charateristics of nonlocal vector fields.

The paper presents a survey of some new results concerning the approach to construction of explicit solutions for nonlinear evolution equations du/dt = F[u], proposed in [1, 2].

Effects of geometric constraints on a steady flow potential are described by an elliptic- hyperbolic generalization of the harmonic map equations. Sufficient conditions are given for global triviality.

The aim of this paper is to investigate intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems with preference information on alternatives, in which the information on attribute weights is completely unknown and the attribute values and preference information on alternatives take the form of...

Purpose: The paper explores the mediating role of results-oriented culture in the relationship between transformational leadership and the performance of results-oriented culture in Vietnamese public service organizations. Research motivation: Although there have been studies referring to aspects of...

This study aims to explore the strategy of Islamic hotels to maintain financial performance in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The object of research is the Namira Islamic hotel in Yogyakarta. The preliminary data analysis results showed an increase in losses at the beginning of the pandemic, and...

With the development of Internet society, more and more celebrities begin to use their traffic to turn to the actual revenue. Many companies are also interested in the influence and the traffic of celebrities and invite them to endorse their products to stimulate their product sales. Many multimedia...

Controlling data value is becoming more challenging for businesses. Data redundancy is the most common cause of problems. Master Data Management (MDM) may help avert various issues by providing a “single version of the truth” throughout the organization. One of the fundamental causes for MDM implementation...

Many English-based loanwords undergo the phonotactic nativization in mandarin phonology. This paper reviews phonological deletion and phonological preservation as two common patterns of achieving phonological adaptation in mandarin Chinese. Notably, the discussion mainly focuses on English-based loanwords...

The state is responsible for implementing every international agreement it ratifies up to the regional level. The international agreement on Climate Change, especially the LULUCF sector, requires Indonesia to carry out land use, land-use change, and forestry obligations that support climate change mitigation....

Solving the housing problem of low- and middle-income groups is the basic responsibility of the government and an important indicator of whether a country’s housing supply system is complete. In the past ten years, China’s housing security has achieved great results. However, at present, there are still...

She-economics, known as women’s economics or womenomics, rise due to the improvement of women’s socioeconomic status, the increasing number of the female labor force, and the rising level of education.
