Patients are exposed to stressors such as death anxiety despite the effectiveness of hemodialysis in renal failure. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between spiritual well-being and sensation seeking with death anxiety in hemodialysis patients. The statistical population included 215 hemodialysis patients in 2013 that 138 patients wer...

As was suggested twenty years ago, double-vortex condensation can drive a superconductor into fractionalized insulator with \ensuremath{\mathbb{Z}}${}_{2}$ topological order. With the advent of symmetry-protected phases, authors explore here effect strong correlation in weak superconductor, showing that gives rise to translation symmetry-enriched This $t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}...

This paper discusses the Ohio University Virtual Haptic Back (VHB) project, including motivation, implementation, and initial evaluations. Haptics is the science of human tactile sensation and a haptic interface provides force and touch feedback to the user from virtual reality. The VHB combines high-fidelity computer graphics with haptic feedback to augment training in palpatory diagnosis in O...

A data-driven wall model for turbulent flows over periodic hills is developed using a feedforward neural network and wall-resolved large-eddy simulation data. The employs wall-normal distance, near-wall velocities, pressure gradients as input features, the shear stresses output labels, respectively. In $a$ $p\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}r\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{...

conclusions compared to iohexol and iopamidol, iodixanol use was associated with a lower patient perception of heat and lower hr while maintaining similar contrast-to-noise and signal-to-noise ratios. results baseline hr was similar across the patients assigned to iohexol, iopamidol, and iodixanol (65.3 ± 9.7, 66.9 ± 10.9, and 65.3 ± 13.3, respectively; p = ns). compared to iohexol and iopamido...
