Two experiments invoh-ing voluntary control of pulse transmission time (PTT) to the ear were performed. In Experiment I (within-subject, 3 sessions), U male subjects attempting to control PTf with feedback showed significant bidirectional PTf changes in the target directions accompanied by parallel changes in pre-ejection period (PEP). There was no evidence ofconcomitant changes in respiration ...

Hydrological and climatic modeling of near-surface water energy fluxes is critically dependent on the availability soil hydraulic parameters. Key among these parameters characteristic curve (SWCC), a function relating content (θ) to matric potential (ψ). The direct measurement SWCC laborious, hence, reported values are spatially sparse usually have only small number data pairs (θ, ψ) per sample...

We need measurements of soil water retention (SWR) and available capacity (AWC) to assess model functions, but methods are time-consuming expensive. Our aim here was investigate the modelling AWC SWR with visible–near-infrared spectra (vis–NIR) machine-learning method cubist. used soils from 54 locations across Australian agricultural regions, three depths: 0–15 cm, 15–30 cm 30–60 cm. The volum...
