More than 150 years ago, Virchow proposed that abnormalities in blood flow, vessel wall and blood components predispose to thrombosis, constituting what is now known as ‘Virchow’s triad’ for thrombogenesis. This rather simplistic view has been continually modified by new discoveries and concepts, as we now know that the process of thrombus formation requires complex interactions involving injur...

Interpersonal touch is critical for social-emotional development and presents a powerful modality communicating emotions. Virtual agents of the future could capitalize on to establish social bonds with humans facilitate cooperation in virtual reality (VR). We studied whether emotional expression agent would affect way agent. Participants were asked hold pressure-sensing tube presented as agent’...

BACKGROUND Hematogenetic disorders are commonly encountered in Orissa state in Central-Eastern India. Hemoglobinopathies and G-6-PD deficiency are the most frequently occurring hereditary hemolytic disorders causing high morbidity and mortality in vulnerable people. AIMS There is no study available reporting combined condition of hemoglobinopathies and G-6-PD deficiency in a single individual...

Vegetation is one of the most important components of the ecosystems. Knowledge about variations in vegetation species and community distribution patterns, alternations in vegetation phonological (growth) cycles, and modifications in plant physiology and morphology provide a valuable insight in to the climate, geologic and physiographic, characteristics of an area, so mapping vegetation cover i...

Current metrics for estimating a scientist's academic performance treat the author's publications as if these were solely attributable to the author. However, this approach ignores the substantive contributions of co-authors, leading to misjudgments about the individual's own scientific merits and consequently to misallocation of funding resources and academic positions. This problem is becomin...

We propose a modified time lag random matrix theory in order to study time-lag cross correlations in multiple time series. We apply the method to 48 world indices, one for each of 48 different countries. We find long-range power-law cross correlations in the absolute values of returns that quantify risk, and find that they decay much more slowly than cross correlations between the returns. The ...

The sublethal effects of high predation risk on both prey behavior and physiology may have long-term consequences for prey population dynamics. We tested the hypothesis that snowshoe hares during the population decline are chronically stressed because of high predation risk whereas those during the population low are not, and that this has negative effects on both their physiology and demograph...

BACKGROUND Intracoronary physiology techniques have been validated extensively for the assessment of epicardial stenoses but not for the lone study of coronary microcirculation. We performed a comparison between 4 intracoronary physiological indices with the actual structural microcirculatory changes documented in transplanted hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS In 17 cardiac allograft patients witho...
