We hypothesized that the more-pronounced hypotensive and bradycardic effects of an antiorthostatic posture change from seated to supine than water immersion are caused by hydrostatic carotid baroreceptor stimulation. Ten seated healthy males underwent five interventions of 15-min each of 1) posture change to supine, 2) seated water immersion to the Xiphoid process (WI), 3) seated neck suction (...

Web Intelligence (WI) presents excellent opportunities and challenges for the research and development of new generation of Webbased information processing technology, as well as for exploiting Webbased advanced applications. In this paper, we give a new perspective of WI research: Web Intelligence meets Brain Informatics. We observe that new instrumentation (fMRI etc.) and advanced IT are caus...

background:  wi-fi allows electronic devices such as laptops to exchange data or connect to a network resource. the main goal of this study was to assess the bioeffects of short term exposure to 2.4 ghz microwave radiation emitted from a common wi-fi router on sperm quality. materials and methods: male wistar rats were divided into 7 groups; i, sham exposed 4 h/day for 7days at 30 cm from the r...

Wi-Fi is becoming widely popular network interface for data communication in smart phones because of its high throughput, power efficiency and relatively large range. However, the Wi-Fi network still several inefficiencies in terms of high energy consumption, unfairness between co-located nodes, and bandwidth poor utilization. For example, Wi-Fi transmitter has to transmit the full packet even ...
