Each artery conduces blood (conduit function, CF) and smoothes out the pulsatility (buffering function, BF), while keeping its wall protected against the high oscillations of the pulse waves (damping function, xi). These functions depend on each segment viscoelasticity and capability to store and dissipate energy. When a graft/prosthesis is implanted, the physiological gradual transition in the...

Abstract Although UN Security Council Resolution 1325 calls for increased participation of women in all stages a peace process, the number who participate formal negotiations is still very limited. In order to augment their number, Women and other international organizations have published series policy reports which they argue that women's increases success leads more inclusive agreements. How...

Wavelet Packets (WPs), multiuser detection, diversity and suppression filters are very effective in reducing the interferences in Coded Division multiple access communication (CDMA) systems. In this paper, we analyzed a WP Multi-Carrier (MC)-CDMA system that employs decorrelating multiuser detector. This type of detector, supports a higher number of users, suppresses the multiple access interfe...

We present the results of calculation and experimental testing of an achromatic polarization converter and a composite terahertz waveplate (WP), which are represented by sets of plane-parallel birefringent plates with in-plane birefringence axis. The calculations took into account the effect of interference, which was especially prominent when plates were separated by an air gap. The possibilit...

Geospatial processing tasks like solar potential analyses or floodplain investigations within flood scenarios are often complex and deal with large amounts of data. If such analysis operations are performed in distributed web-based systems, technical capabilities are mostly not sufficient. Major shortcomings comprise the potentially long execution times and the vast amount of messaging overhead...

While the satellite data and meteorological measurement are more easily available, there is a lack of comprehensive framework that provides an estimated air temperature map with ease of use to the end-users. This study focus on the developing of a comprehensive web based framework for estimating air temperature map from MODIS LST evaluated relationship with in-situ data collected over a distrib...

This paper presents the expansion of power quality for variable speed Wind Power System (WPS) using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and Trans Z-Source Inverter. The PMSG is having compact collection and dimensions, compare to Induction Generator. Induction Generator needs the grid power, then only start the power production. But without take up the grid power PMSG should produce t...

22 23 The aim of this study was to understand the fundamental interactions responsible for 24 aggregation of whey proteins (WPs) at pH 6 and 3 during heating at 140 oC for 30 s in the 25 presence of different acidulants. The conformational changes in the various heat-treated WP 26 dispersions were studied using chemical bond blockers and analysed using differential 27 scanning calorimeter therm...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized in situ on wool powder (WP) under heating conditions. Wool powder not only reduced Au ions to AuNPs, but also provided a support for as-synthesized AuNPs. WPs were treated under different concentrations of Au ions, and corresponding optical features and morphologies of the treated WPs were investigated by UV-VIS diffuse reflectance absorption spectros...
