BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the relation of fractional pulse pressure (PPf) to aortic stiffness index and their impact on coronary flow reserve (CFR) and left ventricular diastolic function in asymptomatic diabetic patients. METHODS One hundred and thirty five consecutive asymptomatic diabetic patients (aged 48.8 ± 7.84 years), were included. CFR was calculated noninvasively using transthor...

in this paper by using the notiαon of anti fuzzy points and its besideness to andnon-quasi-coincidence with a fuzzy set the concepts of an anti fuzzy subalgebrasin bm-algebras are generalized and their inter-relations and related propertiesare investigated.

OBJECTIVE To describe an endoscopic transnasal approach to the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF). DESIGN Case series of 3 patients. SETTING An academic medical center. Patients One patient presented with an asymptomatic PPF schwannoma. The second patient presented after a sudden onset of complete unilateral vision loss with a complete ipsilateral sphenoid sinus opacification and radiographic sign...

Measuring antioxidant activity using a biologically relevant assay adds important evidence to aid in understanding the role of phytochemicals based on data from in vivo and chemical assays of extrusion processed purple potato and pea flours. A cellular antioxidant activity assay could provide biologically relevant information on bioactive compounds in raw as well as processed food products. The...

We review the class of species sampling models (SSM). In particular, we investigate the relation between the exchangeable partition probability function (EPPF) and the predictive probability function (PPF). It is straightforward to define a PPF from an EPPF, but the converse is not necessarily true. In this paper we introduce the notion of putative PPFs and show novel conditions for a putative ...

In this paper, a novel secure image signal transmission scheme was proposed in wireless systems, which the poly-polarization filtering and orthogonal matrix (PPF-OM) were combined to protect eliminate polarization dependent loss (PDL) at same time, caused by non-ideal channel. This divided information sequence into two parts order modulate reshape results symbol matrices with size. Then, sets o...

Signif~cant advances in rapid non-destructive means of measuring the photosynthetic energy conversion of phytoplankton in the ocean have been made in recent years The new techniques offer the potential to obtain detailed spatial and temporal information about photosynthetic rates that cannot be achieved using more traditional methods. A study of a mesoscale coccolithophore bloom in the Northeas...

BACKGROUND Many studies suggest that long term potentiation (LTP) has a role in learning and memory. In contrast, little is known about the function of short-lived plasticity (SLP). Modeling results suggested that SLP could be responsible for temporary memory storage, as in working memory, or that it may be involved in processing information regarding the timing of events. These models predict ...
