Calcium channel blockers depress atrioventricular (AV) nodal properties in vivo in a frequency-dependent manner, suggesting that selective drug action during supraventricular arrhythmias may result from use-dependent properties. The present study was designed to examine whether or not the rate-dependent actions of diltiazem account for its therapeutic effects during atrial fibrillation. The det...

With emerging wireless technologies like 6G, many new applications autonomous systems evolve which have strict demands on the reliability and latency of data communications. In scenario commonly investigated independent slow fading links, zero-outage capacity (ZOC) is zero retransmissions are therefore inevitable. this work, we show that a positive ZOC can be achieved under same setting with co...

OBJECTIVES To compare how allocation concealment is described in publications of randomised clinical trials and corresponding protocols, and to estimate how often trial publications with unclear allocation concealment have adequate concealment according to the protocol. DESIGN Cohort study of 102 sets of trial protocols and corresponding publications. SETTING Protocols of randomised trials ...

In an out-of-distribution (OOD) detection problem, samples of known classes (also called in-distribution classes) are used to train a special classifier. testing, the classifier can (1) classify test their respective and also (2) detect that do not belong any (i.e., they some unknown or OOD classes). This paper studies problem zero-shot detection, which still performs same two tasks in testing ...

Abstract Camouflage is a widespread strategy to increase survival. The cryptic plumage colouration of precocial chicks improves camouflage often through disruptive colouration. Here, we examine whether and how fringed neoptile feathers conceal the outline chicks. We first conducted digital experiment test two potential mechanisms for concealment appendages: (1) reduction edge intensity (2) lumi...

Abstract In order to assure the concealment by cryptographic protocols, it is an effective measure prove in a formal logical system. contemporary context of protocol, has be proved using probability theory. There are several concepts One them Bayesian concealment. This study proposes system secret sharing scheme.

Understanding self-concealment, the tendency to actively conceal distressing personal information from others, may be important in developing effective ways to help individuals with suicidal ideation. No published study has yet assessed the relation between self-concealment and suicidal behaviors. Additionally, most self-concealment research has been conducted solely with younger adults. The re...

Although concealment in relationships is commonplace, little is known about its implications for the target of concealment. Two large-scale studies among adolescents and their parents tested the central hypothesis that parents’ perception of child concealment predicts poorer parenting behaviors toward their child. Further, we investigated whether actual child concealment adds to the prediction ...

Congenital cataract (CC) is the primary cause of treatable childhood blindness. Population-based assessments of prevalence and surgery age of CC, which are critical for improving management strategies, have been unavailable in China until now. We conducted a hospital-based, cross-sectional study of the hospital charts of CC patients younger than 18 years old from January 2005 to December 2010 a...
