Strain Rate Imaging: Real World Scenario?

myocardial strain and strain rate imaging: comparison between doppler derived strain imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography

Mobile learning in a Real-World Construction Engineering Scenario

In this paper, we will present a learning scenario dealing with health and safety aspects in construction engineering. The scenario consists of two parts: first, a number of classical classroom sessions dealing with the theory, and second construction sites will be explored to identify and learn more about the health and safety aspects in a real-world context. The realworld scenario will be med...

On the World Real Interest Rate

This paper characterises the world real interest rate as a common trend in real interest rates in Germany, Japan, and the United States from 1964Q1 to 1996Q2. This single common trend has desirable properties as the world real interest rate and has been moving together with the world real return on the stock market, and the world real fiscal policy variable, suggesting financial integration and...

Recent advances in echocardiography: strain and strain rate imaging

Deformation imaging by echocardiography is a well-established research tool which has been gaining interest from clinical cardiologists since the introduction of speckle tracking. Post-processing of echo images to analyze deformation has become readily available at the fingertips of the user. New parameters such as global longitudinal strain have been shown to provide added diagnostic value, an...

Smog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...
