Complex respiratory events, which may have a detrimental effect on both quality of sleep and control of nocturnal hypoventilation, occur during sleep in patients treated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Among these events are patient-ventilator asynchrony, increases in upper airway resistance (with or without increased respiratory drive) and leaks. Detection of these events is important in ...

TOWNSEND LETTER – MAY 2010 This article explores an exciting, noninvasive, easy-to-use, and economical method of assessing patients’ cardiovascular physiologic status that is backed by more than 25 years of advanced research in medical physics. A 2007 Clinical Medicine article points the way to better clinical treatment of CVD, stating: “Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) ...

Abstract We performed zircon U–Pb dating on the Pliocene Tanigawa-dake granites (Makihata and Tanigawa bodies) Cretaceous Minakami quartzdiorite, Northeast Japan Arc. Concordia ages were estimated to be 3.95 ± 0.11 Ma (± 2 sigma) for Makihata body, 3.18 0.13 3.32 0.15 109.4 2.2 quartzdiorite. The quartzdiorite is possibly correlated bedrock in Ashio belt because age of consistent with earliest ...

The scintillation mechanism in NaI:Tl crystals produces different pulse shapes that are dependent on the incoming particle type. time distribution of light from nuclear recoil events decays faster than for electron and this difference can be categorised using various Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) techniques. In study, we measured recoils a crystal, with equivalent energies between 2 40 keV. ...
