conclusions: left ventricular systolic heart failure, may result in inter and intra-atrial asynchrony even in clinically stable patients without significant pulmonary hypertension and diastolic dysfunction. results: in heart failure patients either inter or intra-atrial asynchrony were far more common in comparison with normal subjects (p=0.008 and p=0.007 respectively). patients and methods: t...

In this paper, we compute the scattering matrix for the Hilbert modular group over any number field K. We then express the determinant of the scattering matrix as a ratio of completed Dedekind zeta functions associated to the Hilbert class field of K. This generalizes work of Efrat and Sarnak [ES] in the imaginary quadratic case.

If we think of the graph as modeling a network, the vulnerability measure the resistance of the network to disruption of operation after the failure of certain stations or communication links. Many graph theoretical parameters have been used to describe the vulnerability of communication networks, including connectivity, integrity, toughness, binding number and tenacity.In this paper we discuss...
