Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nitric oxide (NO) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) affect vascular tone are vasoprotective. Furthermore, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), HO-1 inducer, is known to be a major effector molecule driving apneas. This study was conducted examine the molecular relationships between these gasotransmitters in patient...

A detailed analysis of the high-resolution infrared emission spectra of gaseous HgH2 and HgD2 in the 1200-2200 cm(-1) spectral range is presented. The nu3 antisymmetric stretching fundamental bands of 204HgH2, 202HgH2, 201HgH2, 200HgH2, 199HgH2, 198HgH2, 204HgD2, 202HgD2, 201HgD2, 200HgD2, 199HgD2, and 198HgD2, as well as a few hot bands involving nu1, nu2, and nu3 were analyzed rotationally, a...

The oscillation spectrum of a one-dimensional vertical dust string formed inside a glass box on top of the lower electrode in a gaseous electronics conference (GEC) reference cell was studied. A mechanism for creating a single vertical dust string is described. It is shown that the oscillation amplitudes, resonance frequencies, damping coefficients, and oscillation phases of the dust particles ...

A review of the one-dimensional modeling studies in the literature of the Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) reference plasma reactor is presented. Most of the studies are based on the fluid model description of the discharge and some utilize hybrid fluid-kinetic schemes. Both models are discussed here briefly. The models provide a basic understanding of the discharge mechanisms and reproduce...

In this paper, a theoretical study complementary to others given in the literature about the errors committed on the land surface temperature retrieved from the radiative transfer equation in the thermal infrared region by remote sensing techniques has been analysed. For this purpose, the MODTRAN 3.5 code has been used in order to simulate different conditions and evaluate the influence of seve...
