In this paper we present a theory to describe three-body reactions. Fragmentation processes are studied by means of the Schrodinger equation in hyperspherical coordinates. The three-body wave function is written as a sum of two terms. The first one defines the initial channel of the collision while the second one describes the scattered wave, which contains all the information about the collisi...

BACKGROUND The information contained in arterial pressure waveforms is probably underused by most clinicians who manage critically ill patients. It is not generally known that an aortic pressure wave can be synthesized by applying a generalized transfer function to the radial arterial pressure wave. We validated a commercially available system, SphygmoCo (PWV Medical, Sydney). METHODS Ascendi...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...

Pulse wave contains much information on a cardiovascular system. Pulse wave variability during exercise is of great significance as it reflects more information combining with pulse wave under stationary state. This paper studied the morphology variability of radial pulse wave during exercise. Radial pulse waves were collected from 30 subjects with two pressure pulse sensors worn at the wrists ...

Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral entrapment neuropathy with squeezing of the median nerve and the patient is unable to function properly. There are different physiotherapy interventions for the management of these patients and recently, shock wave therapy and low-power laser (LPL) have been widely used, but there is no strong evidence comparing the effect of shock...

A prototype of a clip-type pulsimeter equipped with a magnetic field-sensing semiconductor Hall sensor was developed. It has a permanent magnet attached in the "Chwan" position to the center of a radial artery. The clip-type pulsimeter is composed of a hardware system measuring voltage signals. To measure spatial pulse wave velocity (SPWV), the signal from the radial artery pulsimeter and that ...

The augmentation index (AIx) and "oscillatory" compliance (C(2)) are wave contour analysis parameters for the central aorta (P(ao)) and radial artery pressure wave (P(rad)), respectively. Both are sensitive to cardiovascular risk factors such as aging, hypertension, and diabetes and have been proposed as prognostic markers for cardiovascular disease. In this work, we studied the relation betwee...

The Fermi hypernetted-chain theory is applied to study the half-filled state of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the thermodynamic limit. We study in detail the radial distribution function, the correlation energy, and the quasiparticle-quasihole excitation spectrum of an unprojected Fermi wave function of the form cn51/2 5P j,k N (z j2zk) 2 Det$fkW(r W)%, a possible candidate to describe ...
