In this chapter we discuss particular features of the nanosecond electric pulsed fields (nsPEFs) that must be taken into account when experimenting on their delivery to biological samples. The purpose of the chapter is to provide future users of this technology with some advice on how to correctly apply it. It is first analyzed how propagation related phenomena can impact on the actual electric...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the association between bumping while walking and divided visual attention, as measured by the useful field of view (UFOV). METHODS The Salisbury Eye Evaluation is a population-based study of community-dwelling adults, aged 72 to 92 at the third round of data collection. Participants walked a circuitous 32.8-m course, seeded with obstacles, a...

OBJECTIVES To study associations between long term and short term exposure to different work environmental conditions and the incidence of neck or shoulder pain. The results were obtained as part of the MUSIC-Norrtälje study, which is a population based case-control study conducted in Sweden in 1993-7. METHODS The cases were people from the study base who sought medical care or treatment for ...

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation can be used to predict the pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs in humans using preclinical data. It can also explore the effects of various physiologic parameters such as age, ethnicity, or disease status on human pharmacokinetics, as well as guide dose and dose regiment selection and aid drug-drug interaction risk assessment. P...

PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that a 24-hour recording of intraocular pressure (IOP)-related measurements derived from a contact lens sensor (CLS) correlates to the rate of visual field progression in treated glaucomatous eyes. DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Forty treated glaucomatous patients with 8 or more 24-2 visual field tests. METHODS Twenty-four-hour recor...

The Eguchi–Hanson, Taub–NUT and Atiyah–Hitchin metrics are the only complete non–singular SO(3)–invariant hyper–Kahler metrics in four dimensions. The presence of a rotational SO(2) isometry allows for their unified treatment based on solutions of the 3–dim continual Toda equation. We determine the Toda potential in each case and examine the free field realization of the corresponding solutions...

PURPOSE This study was designed to examine the on-road driving performance of drivers with hemianopia and quadrantanopia compared with age-matched controls. METHODS Participants included persons with hemianopia or quadrantanopia and those with normal visual fields. Visual and cognitive function tests were administered, including confirmation of hemianopia and quadrantanopia through visual fie...

This research has an aim to assess agricultural students' satisfaction from their field of study. The statistical population consisted of 1040 students from the University of Bu Ali Sina (800 bachelor and 240 master students) during the years of 2011 to 2013. Through stratified random sampling method 240 bachelor and 80 master students were selected. Data was collected by means of a researcher ...

This study was aimed to investigate the infoneuroanalysis relationship between the fields of study of 1st grade secondary schools principals with their leadership styles in district 3 of Shiraz. This study has an applied purpose in terms of methodology and used a descriptive correlational design. The statistical population consisted of 63 1st grade secondary schools principals in the Shiraz’s 3...
