Abstract Background The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Hypertension (ESC/ESH) guidelines for management hypertension in adults aged ≥65 years recommend a blood pressure (BP) treatment target 130–139/70–79 mmHg if tolerated [1]. Randomised controlled trials have advocated lower BP, but this may lead to adverse outcomes the frail. Yet, different operationalisations frailty exist lit...

Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations are used to study the translocation dynamics of a coarse-grained polymer through a cylindrical nanopore. We consider the case of short polymers, with a polymer length, N, in the range N = 21-61. The rate of translocation is controlled by a tunable friction coefficient, γ0p, for monomers inside the nanopore. In the case of unforced translocation, the mean trans...

We consider a directed version of the Barabási-Albert scale-free network model with symmetric preferential attachment with the same in- and out-degrees and study the emergence of sparsely synchronized rhythms for a fixed attachment degree in an inhibitory population of fast-spiking Izhikevich interneurons. Fast sparsely synchronized rhythms with stochastic and intermittent neuronal discharges a...

The study is a qualitative research. aims at describing the differences of reasoning ability students in solving linear program problems based on cognitive styles between FI and FD class X SMK Baramuli Pinrang. Subjects were taken by employing test GEFT. Data collected through written problem ond interview. obtained result interview which analyzed using Miles Huberman model. results indicate th...

Orienting visual attention is closely linked to the oculomotor system. For example, a shift of attention is usually followed by a saccadic eye movement and can be revealed by micro saccades. Recently we reported a novel role of another type of eye movement, namely eye vergence, in orienting visual attention. Shifts in visuospatial attention are characterized by the response modulation to a sele...

Field ionization (FI) and field desorption (FD) mass spectra of 35 aliphatic long-chain and branched long-chain compounds, representing the m ajor six classes of constituents of natural waxes, are examined. In the FI mode the molecular ions are usually formed at comparatively low levels, while in FD such species are almost exclusively generated. In addition, some fast atom bom bardm ent mass sp...

Nowadays, there is an increase of studies that examine individuals’ cognitive characteristics in correlation to visual perception. The present study investigated the association between cognitive abilities and Web page complexity. Specifically, differences within simple, medium and complex Web pages were observed among the field dependent, independent and mixed cognitive groups via a task compl...

In this study it was hypothesized that field dependence or independence would introduce systematic variance into Iranian EFL learners’ overall and task-specific performance on task-based reading comprehension tests. One thousand, seven hundred, forty-three freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior students, all majoring in English at various Iranian universities and colleges, took the Group Embed...
