Background Syncope is frequently seen in the Emergency Department (ED) and is a cause for numerous hospitalizations. Focusing primarily on syncope, the aim of this study was to determine the frequency and the underlying causes of transient loss of consciousness in patients seen in the ED. Furthermore, the aim was to identify the indications for admittance and discharge of patients with syncope ...

We derive fluctuation-dissipation relations for a tunnel junction driven through a resonator displaying strong quantum fluctuations. We find that the fluctuation-dissipation relations derived for classical external drives hold, provided the effect of the circuit's quantum fluctuations is incorporated into the modified nonlinear current voltage characteristics. We also demonstrate that all quant...

The reliability of different electrode admittance equations in the case of the Ag/Ag I electrode is critically discussed. It is shown that the admittance equation already derived for the' metal arnalgam/metal-Ion reversible electrode reaction coupled with reactant adsorption offers some advantages compared to the admittance equation for the reversible electrode reaction on the metal/metal-ion e...

In the paper the application of haptic joystick with magneto-rheological (MR) brake in control of electrohydraulic drive is presented. Two impedance and admittance control methods are shown. Basing on main equations describing electrohydraulic drive, the simulation model of an admittance control system is proposed. The results of chosen simulations are presented. Laboratory test stand is descri...

Thin Nb2O5 anodic films ( 20 nm thick) grown in phosphoric acid solution have been characterised by EIS and differential admittance study in a large range of potential and frequency. The overall electrical behaviour has been interpreted by means of the theory of amorphous semiconductor Schottky barrier in presence of a non-constant density of states (DOS). A comparison of DOS for films grown in...

This study investigates the dynamic characteristics of a smart PZT interface mounted on prestressed anchorage to verify numerical feasibility admittance-based anchor force monitoring technique. Firstly, technique through single-mount is outlined. The admittance response interface-anchorage system theoretically derived show proof-of-concept for monitoring. Secondly, finite element model correspo...

We present the two-loop matrix elements for the scattering of two gluons into two photons in QCD. These matrix elements will enter into improved estimates of the QCD background to Higgs production at the LHC when the Higgs decays into two photons. The photon mode is especially important if MH < 140 GeV. We also give the amplitudes for the crossed process, gγ → gγ.

Design and performance of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF) using Composite Right/Left-handed (CRLH) Zeroth-order Resonators have been studied. The Bloch analysis is applied based on the S parameters to derive the characteristics of the eigenmodes (Bloch modes), from which the right/left-handed frequency band and the zeroth-order resonant frequency are clearly determined. Then, t...

Piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) at high temperature with reliable operation are desired for structural health monitoring. The PWAS may be generalized as an electromechanical system because of the incorporation of electromechanical coupling. The basic principle of SHM method by PWAS is to monitor variation in the electro-mechanical (E/M) impedance/ admittance signature. The operational...
