BACKGROUND Muscle strength may play an important role in cardiovascular health. The study was intended to evaluate the association between cardiometabolic risk, risk of coronary artery disease and handgrip strength by using the relative handgrip strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 927 Taiwanese aged 53 years and older (510 men and 417 women) were retrieved from a nationwide representative...

Performance evaluation of handover algorithms has been studied for mobile cellular network. Effects of averaging, hysteresis margin and shadow fading are investigated for different handoff algorithms. Probability of outage, handover delay and average number of handovers are considered as performance metrics. Different handover algorithms considered here are based on relative signal strength wit...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the associations of computed tomography-based x-ray attenuation and paraspinal electrical impedance myography measures of trunk muscles with absolute and relative (normalized by body weight) trunk extension strength, independent of muscle cross-sectional area. DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study of mobility-limited community-dwelling older adu...

Abstract The wide range of gypsum facies observed all over the world and strong heterogeneity that may be present even within a single often cause an inhomogeneous mechanical response that, if neglected, particularly dangerous in framework underground excavations. In addition, is sensible to presence water. high relative humidity conditions registered quarries imply additional worsening propert...
