A sound-induced sympathetic tone has been used as an index for orienting responses to auditory stimuli. The resting testosterone/cortisol ratio is a biomarker of social aggression that drives an approaching behavior in response to environmental stimuli, and a higher testosterone level and a lower cortisol level can facilitate the sympathetic response to environmental stimuli. Therefore, it is p...

AbstractWith a surge in online medical advising remote monitoring of patient vitals is required. This can be facilitated with the Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) techniques that compute vital signs from facial videos. It involves processing video frames to obtain skin pixels, extracting cardiac data it and applying signal filters extract Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal. Different algorithms ...

The usual way to model heat conduction is to solve a partial differential equation (PDE) with boundary conditions (BCs), i.e., a boundary value problem (BVP). For the case of steady-state heat conduction in a homogeneous isotropic solid with thermal conductivity independent of temperature and with no heat source inside the solid, temperature T (x, y, z) in the solid verifies Laplace equation [5] :

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To identify the clinical and laboratory characteristics of bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP) on the video head impulse test (vHIT). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart analysis. METHODS During 23 months, 1,789 patients with dizziness underwent vHIT in our tertiary referral hospital. Of these patients, 65 (3.6%) patients had bilaterally positive catch-up saccades. Based on th...

In the numerical integration of second-order nonlinear boundary value problem (BVP), right condition plays role as a target equation, which is solved either by half-interval method (HIM) or new derivative-free Newton (DFNM) to be presented in paper. With help shape function, we can transform BVP an initial (IVP) for variable. The terminal variable expressed function missing original variable, d...

Theorem 1.1. Assume that (A1)–(A3) hold and that F t, x satisfies the condition (A). Then BVP 1.1 has at least one solution on E. 1.2. The Asymptotically Quadratic Case For the asymptotically quadratic...
