Angiographically determined changes in segmental wall motion (SWM) and ejection fraction (EF) are sensitive indices of left ventricular (LV) function. To compare the effects of exercise on LV function, first pass radionuclide angiocardiography was used before and during maximal upright bicycle stress in patients with nonsignificantly stenosed coronary arteries, and in those with greater than 75...

Changes in ejection fraction (EF) and segmental wall motion (SWM) have been shown to be sensitive indicators of left ventricular (LV) function. This information is only obtainable by contrast angiography or gated blood pool scans. Gated studies assume a fixed geometry for the LV for EF determinations, are lengthy and limited primarily to the LAO projection. We correlated contrast and Tc-99m per...

Angiographically determined changes in segmental wall motion (SWM) and ejection fraction (EF) are sensitive indices of left ventricular (LV) function. To compare the effects of exercise on LV function, first pass radionticlide angiocardiography was used before and during maximal upright bicycle stress in patients with nonsignificantly stenosed coronary arteries, and in those with > 75% stenosis...

For large numbers of targets, path planning is a complex and computationally expensive task. Humans, however, usually solve such tasks quickly and efficiently. We present experiments studying human path planning performance and the cognitive processes and heuristics involved. Twenty-five places were arranged on a regular grid in a large room. Participants were repeatedly asked to solve travelin...

Liquefaction is one of the most determinant factors in the collapse of transportation infrastructures. This is especially true for roads and railroads located on saturated, fine-sand substrates under seismic conditions. The damage and human casualties resulting from liquefaction highlight the importance of understanding and mapping this phenomenon. Soil liquefaction occurs as a natural hazard i...

SRAM cell read stability and write-ability are major concerns in CMOS technologies, due to the progressive increase in VDD and transistor scaling. In this paper, we studied and comparedthe performance of 7TN (with NMOS access transistor), 7TP (with PMOS access transistor) andconventional 6T structure.SRAM cells have been simulated in SPICE with 0.35 μm technology. The techniques that provide th...

In this paper the authors propose a flexible electronic solution, to improve the energetic efficiency of a thermo plant. This is achieved by replacing the mechanical gear box, placed traditionally between a gas turbine and a synchronous generator; by a power electronic converter. After reminding problematic of gear boxes and interest of a proposed electronic solution in high power plants, the a...

Impairment of working memory is one of the most important deleterious effects of marijuana intoxication in humans, but its underlying mechanisms are presently unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the impairment of spatial working memory (SWM) and in vivo long-term depression (LTD) of synaptic strength at hippocampal CA3-CA1 synapses, induced by an acute exposure of exogenous cannabinoids, is full...

The Sherman-Woodbury-Morrison (SWM) formula gives an explicit formula for the inverse perturbation of a matrix in terms of the inverse of the original matrix and the perturbation. This formula is useful for numerical applications. We have produced similar results, giving an expression for the inverse of a matrix when the ith row and column are removed. However, our expression involves taking a ...

The internet of things (IoT) paradigm roles an important play in enhancing smart city tracking applications and managing procedures real time. most problem connected to has been solid waste management, which can have adverse effects on society’s health environment. Waste management developed a challenge faced by not only evolving nations but also established counties. Solid is stimulating for e...
