One of the factors which limits the transmission capacity of the fiber optics communication channel is the material dispersion. Exact analytical study of the material dispersion is often complex and involves calculating the derivatives of the refractive index of the core. These calculations are too cumbersome to do, especially for high-order derivatives. So material dispersion has only been stu...

OBJECTIVE Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic multi-system disease presenting with recurrent oral and genital ulceration, and relapsing uveitis. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death have been documented in BD. P wave dispersion (PD) has been reported to be associated with inhomogeneous and discontinuous propagation of sinus impulses. PD has been...

Introduction: QT dispersion assesses repolarization inhomogeneity on 12-lead standard ECG. However, the implications of the electrical cardiac vector during the repolarization phase (the T wave loop) with the genesis of this phenomenon are unknown. Methods and Results: The aim of this study was to explore conventional 12-lead resting ECG QT dispersion and the corresponding morphology of the spa...

Background Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as a diffuse dilatation of the diameter of the ectatic segment of the coronary artery, 1.5 times greater than that of the adjacent segment. The Tp-Te interval, P-wave and QTc dispersions are relatively new electrocardiographic markers associated with an increased risk of developing arrhythmias. Despite CAE increasing in prevalence in recent ye...

background anthracyclines are important components of many chemotherapeutic protocols. the present study aimed to evaluate the repolarization changes in electrocardiography (ecg) which may predict drug induced arrhythmia. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, the recorded ecgs were assessed for qt dispersion (qtd), qt corrected dispersion (qtcd), t peak to tend dispersion (tped),...

BACKGROUND We retrospectively investigated the value of clinical and ECG findings as well as QT-QRS dispersion in predicting the risk of sudden death in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). METHODS AND RESULTS Duration and interlead variability of the QT interval and QRS complex were measured manually from standard ECGs in 20 sudden death victims with ARVC dia...

We have read with great interest the article by Bayır PT et al. (1) entitled “Assessment of atrial electromechanical interval and P wave dispersion in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome” recently published in Anatol J Cardiol 2016; 16: 100-5. The authors, investigating several echocardiographic (atrial electromechanical delay) and electrocardiographic parameters (P wave duration and disper...

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

Green’s function, an analytical approach in inhomogeneous linear differential equations, is the impulse response, which is applied for deriving the wave equation solution in composite materials mediums. This paper investigates the study of SH wave’s transmission influenced by concentrated point source disturbance in piezomagnetic material resting over heterogeneous half-space. Green function ap...
