The systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and pulse pressure (PP) daily profiles incidence was studied in 53 patients with arterial hypertension. A significant difference in the frequency of occurrence of different types of SBP, DBP and PP daily profile was revealed. In the structure of SBP daily profile nondipper and dipper types were dominated, DBP dipper and overdippe...

A method for reducing the training time of a deep learning based digital backpropagation (DL-DBP) is presented. The on dividing link into smaller sections. section then compensated by DL-DBP algorithm and same trained model reapplied to subsequent We show in 32 GBd 16QAM 2400 km 5-channel wavelength division multiplexing transmission experiment that proposed stacked DL-DBPs provides 0.41 dB gai...

An advanced digital backward-propagation (DBP) method using a separate-channels approach (SCA) is investigated for the compensation of inter-channel nonlinearities in spatial- and wavelength-multiplexed systems. Compared to conventional DBP, intra-, inter-mode cross-phase modulation can be efficiently compensated by including effect walk-off nonlinear step split-step Fourier method. We found th...

Iodine containing disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) and haloacetaldehydes (HALs) are emerging disinfection by-product (DBP) classes of concern. The former due to its increased potential toxicity and the latter because it was found to be the third most relevant DBP class in mass in a U.S. nationwide drinking water study. These DBP classes have been scarcely investigated, and this work was perfor...

A bacterial strain W-1, isolated from rural domestic wastewater, can utilize the environmental hormone di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) as the sole carbon and energy source. The isolated bacterium species was confirmed to belong to the genus Achromobacter based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence. The results of substrate utilization tests showed that the strain W-1 could utilize other common phthalates an...

Disruptive behavior problems (DBP) represent a growing concern for young women (e.g., Snyder and Sickmund, 2006), but gender-specific investigations have been traditionally underrepresented in this area. The purpose of this study is to examine the associations among gender-relevant risk factors for DBP among 217 African American girls in psychiatric care. African American girls, 12-16 years old...

BACKGROUND Clinical trials assessing the effects of salt substitutes on blood pressure (BP) have reported mixed results. OBJECTIVES A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to evaluate the effect of salt substitutes on BP, including systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP). DESIGN Studies were identified via systematic searches of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, W...

We analyzed entry data from 163 adult hemoglobin SS and Sbeta(0) thalassemia patients enrolled in the prospective Sickle Cell Pulmonary Hypertension Screening Study and stratified their ECHO-determined tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) and serum creatinine concentration according to three systemic blood pressure categories. TRV was >or= 2.5 m/sec in 27% of the patients with systolic bloo...

A neural-network-based approach is presented to efficiently implement digital backpropagation (DBP). For a 32×100 km fiber-optic link, the resulting “learned” DBP significantly reduces the complexity compared to conventional DBP implementations. OCIS codes: (060.0060) Fiber optics and optical communications, (060.2330) Fiber optics communications.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a widely used plasticizer which has been found to be a reproductive and developmental toxicant and ubiquitously existing in the air. A highly sensitive method for DBP monitoring in the environment is urgently needed. A DBP sensor based on a homemade wireless-electrodeless quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) coated with nano-structured nickel hydroxide...
