Flow in the wake of a coronary artery stenosis induces a bruit in the 300–1500 Hz range that can be heard at the chest wall. It has been hypothesised that this sound is caused by turbulence-induced shear waves which travel through the soft tissue of the thorax. This contribution describes a computational...

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Acute aerobic exercise decreases arterial stiffness, while acute resistance exercise increases arterial stiffness. There is little information on the effect of such exercise on arterial stiffness in older patients with...

Introduction: Grey scale median of the carotid artery intima-media complex (IM-GSM) is a recently introduced measurement thought to reflect the composition of the arterial wall. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) has been shown to be a predictor of a future stroke incidence, but the relationship...

The quantity of heat transferred through a connecting rod from two sources of different temperatures with time is proportional to the thermal conductivity of the substance. In this study, the experiment was conducted to determine the thermal conductivity of brass and 304 stainless steels by direct temperature...

Background: Troponin T (TnT) is a highly specific biomarker for myocardial infarction (MI). Haemodialysis (HD) patients often have increased arterial stiffness and elevated TnT. Previous studies have linked elevated TnT with worse outcome, even in the absence of MI. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

Introduction: Assessment of pulse wave velocity (PWV) is recognized as a marker of arterial stiffness within human medicine. Non-invasive evaluation of arterial structural changes in relation to atherosclerosis in porcine models of cardiovascular disease, would be valuable in longitudinal assessment...

Background: Local pulse wave velocity (c) is widely used as an index of local carotid arterial stiffness. In middle-aged type1 and type2 diabetic patients, arterial stiffness is higher than in healthy people, but much less data are available for young subjects. Our aim was to quantify the changes in...

Background. Central aortic blood pressure (CBP) parameters are increasingly proved to be stronger predictors of cardiovascular outcomes than peripheral blood pressure parameters. Aortic stiffness, which increases with age, alters these parameters. The aim of this study was to compare the CBP parameters...

Location Based Service (LBS) is gaining popularity. As one fundamental LBS service, range search returns all Point of Interests (POIs) within a user-specified range. However, people leave their location privacy at risks when using range search. How to provide a high-quality range search service while...

In this paper we derive some general recurrence relations between single and product moments of dual gener- alized order statistics from a general class of distributions, thus generalizing and unifying the earlier results in this direction due to several authors.

We examine the classical model of two competing species for integrability in terms of analytic functions by means of the Painlevé analysis. We find that the governing equations are integrable for certain values of the essential parameters of the system. We find that, for all integrable cases with the...

The fuzzy regression control chart is a functional technique to evaluate the process in which the average has a trend and the data represents a linguistic or approximate value. In this study, the theoretical structure of the “α-level fuzzy midrange for α-cut fuzzy X -regression control chart” is proposed...

The Minkowski distance is a distance measure that generalizes a wide range of distances such as the Hamming and the Euclidean distance. In this paper, we develop a generalization of the Minkowski distance by using the induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator. We call it the induced Minkowski...
