The first contribution of this paper presents data on coral growth rates from the Abrolhos Islands along the east coast of Brazil and correlates them with SST anomaly data from the same region. The second contribution of the paper is exploring correlations among SST values for the region and potential drivers of those SST anomalies. In effect, the coral data don’t have much at all to do with th...

The Casimir energy for scalar field of two parallel conductor in two dimensional domain wall background with Dirichlet boundary conditions is calculated by making use of general properties of renormalized stress tensor.We show that vacuum expectation values of stress tensor contain two terms which come from the boundary conditions and the gravitational background. In two dimensions the minimal ...

OBJECTIVES The goals of the current study were to investigate: (i) how the manipulation of psychophysiological state (stress vs. relaxation) would influence heartbeat detection performance in a laboratory environment and (ii) whether interoceptive accuracy had a relationship with symptom reporting. METHOD Forty participants (20 males) performed a stressor (a demanding mental arithmetic task) ...

Background Adenosine stress magnetic resonance is highly accurate for the detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities. Visual assessment of inducible wall motion abnormalities (IWMA) during adenosine has low sensitivity but high specificity since only high-grade perfusion defects are associated with detectable IWMAs. The novel technique Feature Tracking (FT) measures myocardial strain and g...

automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. in order to reduce the light change ...

this paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. this system can be used in multiple places. for example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. this system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. a...

Cellular stress responses determine tissue development, homeostasis and pathogenesis. Paracrine signaling, exchange of mechanical stimuli and intercellular transfer of small metabolites via connexin-built gap junctional channels are involved in the cellular stress detection and propagation of stress stimuli in multicellular networks. Cellular stress responses are also regulated through the acti...

Paper is destined for use in medicine, psychology and psychophysiology, in man’s selfdevelopment training, breathing technique’s training, in the field of stress resistance, health promotion, strengthening of the capacity for work; and it relates to the apparatus and methods for detection of the heart rate variability and it’s use in providing biofeedback during training sessions of organism’s ...

An anomalous origin of a coronary artery (AOCA) is the second most common cause of non-traumatic sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Patients with a malignant course of an AOCA of the right coronary artery only need surgical correction when myocardial ischaemia is detected. An AOCA and its malignant or benign course can be detected by coronary angiography, coronary computed tomography or ca...
