The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between visual evoked potentials (N1, P2, N2, P3 and Sw) and levels of neuroticism, psychoticism and depression. Based on previous research, longer EP-latencies were expected in more depressed subjects, and smaller EP-amplitudes in subjects with higher levels of neuroticism and psychoticism. The sample consisted of female psychology stud...

BACKGROUND Cold-induced increases in aortic blood pressure (BP) may cause adverse cardiac events in hypertensives by increasing ventricular afterload. L-citrulline supplementation reduces BP at baseline and during the cold pressor test (CPT), but the effect on wave reflection (augmentation pressure (AP) and index (AIx)) is controversial. Our aim was to assess the effect of L-citrulline-rich wat...

Intercellular glial Ca(2+) waves constitute a signaling pathway between glial cells. Artificial stimuli have previously been used to evoke these waves, and their physiological significance has been questioned. We report here that Ca(2+) waves occur spontaneously in rat retinal glial cells, both in the isolated retina and in vivo. These spontaneous waves are propagated by ATP release. In the iso...

The general evolution kernels of the twist 2 light–ray operators for unpolarized and polarized deep inelastic scattering are calculated inO(αs). From these evolution kernels a series of special evolution equations can be derived, among them the Altarelli-Parisi equations and the evolution equation for the meson wave function. In the case of twist 3 the results of Balitzki and Braun are confirme...

PURPOSE To characterize retinal function during a period of acutely elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) across a wide range of IOPs, including those typically observed in animals with experimental glaucoma. METHODS Unilateral elevation of IOP was achieved manometrically in adult Brown Norway rats (nine experimental groups; n=4-7 in each; 10-100 mmHg and sham control). Full-field ERGs were rec...

The permeability of saturated soils has great influence on the velocities and attenuation characteristics fast compressional wave P1, low P2, shear S in soils, respectively. In three different cases, namely zero, finite, infinite permeability, equations theoretical are given based u-w-p equation, According to solutions equations, real coefficients waves redefined, influences loading frequency d...

A sequence S is potentiallyKp1,p2,...,pt graphical if it has a realization containing aKp1,p2,...,pt as a subgraph, whereKp1,p2,...,pt is a complete t-partite graph with partition sizes p1, p2, ..., pt(p1 ≥ p2 ≥ ... ≥ pt ≥ 1). Let σ(Kp1,p2,...,pt, n) denote the smallest degree sum such that every n-term graphical sequence S with σ(S) ≥ σ(Kp1,p2,...,pt, n) is potentially Kp1,p2,...,pt graphical....

On-demand delivery is a fast developing business where gig couriers deliver online orders within short time from merchants to customers. Couriers' accurate indoor locations play an essential role in the business. Most of existing localization methods cannot be applied practice due high cost or data unavailable on off-the-shelf smartphones. This paper explores new angle solve problem relative an...
