PURPOSE A maximum P-wave duration (Pmax) of > or = 110 msec and a P-wave dispersion (PWD) > or = 40 msec are accepted indicators of a disturbance in interatrial conduction and an inhomogeneous propagation of the sinus impulse, respectively. The left atrial (LA) volume has been reported to be strongly associated with a systolic and diastolic dysfunction and is considered to be an index of atrial...

By forcing with Pmax over strong models of determinacy, we obtain models where different square principles at ω2 and ω3 fail. In particular, we obtain a model of 2א0 = 2א1 = א2 + ¬ (ω2) + ¬ (ω3).

These notes are an account of a six-hour lecture series I presented at Carnegie Mellon University on September 9, 2006, as the inaugural meeting of the Appalachian Set Theory series. My remarks (occasionally improvised) were faithfully transcribed by Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine and Yimu Yin, who then presented me with a rough draft of this article. Their account aimed to capture the feel of the disc...

We can see from (p) and (p) that p(x, y) =  implies x = y. However, the converse is not necessarily true. A typical example of this situation is provided by the partial metric space (R,pmax), where the function pmax : R+ × R+ → R+ is defined by pmax(x, y) =max{x, y} for all x, y ∈ R+. Other examples of partial metric spaces which are interesting from a computational point of view may be foun...

We consider the uniform parallel machine scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing maximum lateness. We show that an extension of the EDD rule to a uniform parallel machine setting yields a maximum lateness value which does not exceed the optimal value by more than pmax, where pmax is the maximum job processing time. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

This study examined how altering training intensity during a taper impacts maximal mechanical power (Pmax), torque at power maximum (T), velocity at power maximum (V), and swim performance (m . sec (-1)). Using an arm ergometer with inertial loading, measurements of Pmax, T, and V were made for 7 consecutive weeks prior to the taper and during the taper in 7 female competitive collegiate swimme...

Thermotolerant mutants of wheat cv. Guardian were isolated by selecting survivors from 5-d-old seedlings of M2 populations exposed to 47 degrees C for 90 min. Progeny testing, using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride reduction as a measure of tissue viability, following heat stress treatment for 120 min at each of three temperatures (32, 38 and 50 degrees C), confirmed the thermotolerant nature of ...

Despite the increasing popularity of boxing, only a few studies have been conducted on the physiology or the biomechanics of this sport. The aim of the present study is to examine the ratios of mechanical characteristics (maximal anaerobic power, Pmax, theoretical maximal force, F0, and velocity, v0) between upper and lower limbs of male boxers. Twelve male caucasians, all members of a local fi...

In the present investigation the explosion characteristics of 30% H2/70% CH4-blended fuels have been experimentally studied in different turbulent environments. Some important indicators about the explosion characteristics, including maximum explosion pressure (pmax), explosion duration (tc), maximum rate of pressure rise ((dp/dt)max), deflagration index (KG), and fast burn period (tb) have bee...

This paper studies the difference in the mechanical response of monocrystalline silicon to cyclic microindentations in air and in water. It shows that in air the indentations with a spherical indenter generated consequent phase transformations. In the Ž rst indentation cycle, the decomposition featured amorphous phase at low maximum indentation load, Pmax, that was converged to a crystalline co...
