Pulse rate (PR), blood pressure (BP), auditory reaction time (ART), galvanic skin resistance (GSR), and eosinophil count (EC) were determined in 30 male and 25 female medical students appearing for the I MBBS viva-voce examination. Two readings were taken viz 2 months (control) and 20 min prior to the examination. A statistically significant increase was seen in the PR and BP while a significan...

The chief aspect of solving Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem (ORPD) is to minimize the real power loss and also to keep the voltage profile within the limits. In this paper, a new metaheuristic optimizing algorithm that is the simulation of “Grand Salmon Run” (GSR) is developed. The salmon run phenomena is one of the grand annual natural actions occurrence in the North America, where mil...

In 170 individuals practising the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique or simple relaxation techniques (progressive relaxation, hatha yoga, simulated meditation, or no technique) the electrodermal activity ( GSR) was measured while they were exposed to disturbing noises. TM practitioners as a whole showed significantly less GSR changes as compared to the other groups, indicating an increase...

The R-subunit of the stimulatory G protein, Gs, has been shown to dissociate from the plasma membrane into the cytosol following activation by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) in some experimental systems. This dissociation may involve depalmitoylation of an amino-terminal cysteine residue. However, the functional significance of this dissociation is not known. To investigate the functional c...

The main objective of Present study is based on meteorological variables to estimate monthly Global Solar Radiation (GSR) on a horizontal surface. Monthly mean of maximum air temperature, relative humidity, sunshine hours and wind speed values between 1974 and 2008 for Tehran city in Iran (35_41N, 51_19E), are used in this study. In order to investigate the effect of each meteorological variabl...

This paper proposes a mathematical model for the heart rate signal using hand GSR and power samples of the R peak of the ECG through multiple regression analysis. Mathematical model helps to study the relation of the dependent function with its independent functions and to correlate with the biological processes. The paper proposed four models for heart rate. Each model had R 2 values such as 0...
