Compared to steadily propagating waves (SPW), damped waves (DW), another solution to the nonlinear wave equation, are seldom studied. In cardiac tissue after electrical stimulation in an SPW wake, we observe DW with diminished amplitude and velocity that either gradually decrease as the DW dies, or exhibit a sharp amplitude increase after a delay to become an SPW. The cardiac DW-SPW transition ...

The hyperplanes of the symplectic dual polar space DW (5, q) arising from embedding, the so-called classical hyperplanes of DW (5, q), have been determined earlier in the literature. In the present paper, we classify non-classical hyperplanes of DW (5, q). If q is even, then we prove that every such hyperplane is the extension of a non-classical ovoid of a quad of DW (5, q). If q is odd, then w...

A global Data warehouse (DW) integrates data from multiple distributed heterogeneous databases and other information sources. A global DW can be abstractly seen as a set of materialized views. The selection of views for materialization in a DW is an important decision in the implementation of a DW. Current commercial products do not provide tools for automatic DW design. In this paper we provid...

Data Warehouse is becoming more and more popular by providing business an edge over their competitors. DW is developed by using DWP methodology. Currently, there are large numbers of methodologies followed in market. The reason for this is the lack of any centralized attempts of creating platform-independent DWP standards. For developing a centralized DWP it is important to understand the exist...

The purpose of this study is to accurately and effectively automate the calculation of the water-equivalent diameter (DW) from 3D CT images for estimating the size-specific dose. DW is the metric that characterizes the patient size and attenuation. In this study, DW was calculated for standard CTDI phantoms and patient images. Two types of phantom were used, one representing the head with a dia...

Overhydration is an independent predictor of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. More than 30% of HD patients are overhydrated, motivating the development of new methods for assessing hydration status. This study surveyed clinical praxis and local guidelines for dry weight (DW) assessment in Swedish and Danish HD units, and examined if differences in routines and utilization of bioimpedanc...

Abstract Mono, hybrid, and ternary nanofluids were tested inside the plain twisted-tape pipes using k-omega shear stress transport turbulence models. The Reynolds number was 5,000 ≤ Re 15,000, thermophysical properties calculated under condition of 303 K. Single (Al 2 O 3 /distilled water [DW], SiO /DW, ZnO/DW), hybrid (SiO + Al ZnO/DW, ZnO /DW) in mixture ratio 80:20, ZnO/DW) 60:20:20 estimate...

Mushrooms are included in the category of functional foods due to their culinary and pharmaceutical properties. In the present investigation, three wild edible mushrooms including Calocybe gambosa (Fr.) Donk (PUN 3538), Lentinus squarrosulus Mont. (PUN 3539), and Podaxis pistillaris (L.) Fr. (PUN 7151) collected from Haryana (India) were analyzed for their proximate composition and bioactive co...

Enhanced glucose flux via the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HNSP) has been implicated in insulin resistance. We measuredl-glutamine:d-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase activity (GFAT, a rate-limiting enzyme) and concentrations of UDP- N-acetyl hexosamines (UDP-HexNAc, major products of HNSP) in muscle and liver of growth hormone (GH)-deficient male dwarf (dw) rats. All parameters measure...
