In temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), there is evidence of ictal and interictal autonomic dysregulation, predominantly with sympathetic overactivity. The effects of TLE surgery on autonomic cardiovascular control and on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) have not been studied. To evaluate such effects, we monitored heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (BP(sys)) and respiration in 18 TLE patients 3-4 m...

Central vascular blood flows and ventilation were measured in conscious toads (Bufo marinus) at 15 and 25 degrees C. The animals were exposed to hypoxia (Fi(O)(sum)=0.10 and 0.05, where Fi(O)(sum) is the fractional oxygen concentration of inspired air) at both temperatures. In addition, the cardiorespiratory responses to hypercapnia (Fi(CO)(sum)=0.05) and atropine injection (5 mg kg(-)(1); 7.4 ...

Article history: Received 31 March 2016 Received in revised form 6 June 2016 Accepted 10 June 2016 Available online 15 June 2016 Editor: W.-D. Schlatter Measurements of the W± → ±ν and Z → + − production cross sections (where ± = e±, μ±) in proton–proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV are presented using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to a total in...

This master’s thesis is done in collaboration with SAAB and outlines an architecture for developing a voice command system with focus on supporting multiple languages, ease of introducing new domain knowledge, resource efficient and running in an offline environment. The solution and the decisions made along the process as well as their advantages and drawbacks are explained in this report. As ...

— The occurrence of incompressible quantum fluid states of a two dimensional system is a result of electron–electron interactions in a highly degenerate fractionally filled Landau level. Novel quasiparticles (QP’s) called composite Fermions (CF’s) have allowed a simple single particle description of the most prominent incompressible states. Residual interactions among these QP’s are investigate...

Aim: We investigated the impact of fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes on ECG in predicting papillary muscle dyssynchrony and functional mitral regurgitation in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with narrow QRS and sinus rhythm. Methods: Thirty-one non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy patients with fQRS and 16 patients without fQRS were evaluated for intraventricular and papillary mu...

S yndromic surveillance (SyS) is a biosurveillance methodology that integrates new information technologies, electronic health record data, and principles of epidemiology and biostatistics. The data are collected from hospitals and public health departments and transmitted to public health agencies in near-real time (at least every 24 hours). The data reported are categorized as a “syndrome” on...

ABSTRACT We use Gaia photometry and astrometry to estimate the vertical spatial structure of Milky Way at Solar radius, formally accounting for sample incompleteness (the selection function) parallax measurement uncertainty. Our results show impressive precision demonstrating power data. However, systematic errors dominate parameter value uncertainties. thoroughly test quantify impacts all The ...

The problem of programming a robot t o carry out a sys temat ic exploration of i ts environment using realistic sensors i s considered in this paper. The robot i s modelled as a single point moving in a twodimensional configuration space populaied wi th visually opaque and transparent obstacles. The robot is equipped with proximity sensors , a vision-based recogni t ion sys tem, and a method of...
