Background & Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. By identifying the population attributable risk (PAR) of the main risk factors of CVDs, the overall effect of various exposures on a population can be determined; the findings could be used in CVD prevention. The present study aimed to explore the PAR of some factors, includin...

chemical vapor deposition (cvd) is one of the most popular methods for producing carbon nanotubes (cnts). the growth rate of cnts based on cvd technique is investigated by using a numerical model based on finite volume method. inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal cvd reactor at atmospheric pressure. in thi...

BACKGROUND Family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an independent risk factor for CVD. Therefore, efforts to prevent CVD among asymptomatic persons with a family history are warranted. Little is known about preventive recommendations clinicians offer their patients with a family history of CVD, and adherence to preventive recommendations by patients at risk for CVD has not been well d...

AIM To evaluate the additional prognostic value of family history for the estimation of cardiovascular (CVD) mortality risk in middle-aged urban Lithuanian men. METHODS The association between family history of CVD and the risk of CVD mortality was examined in a population-based cohort of 6,098 men enrolled during 1972-1974 and 1976-1980 in Kaunas, Lithuania. After up to 40 years of follow-up...

Incipient fault detection plays a crucial role in preventing the occurrence of serious faults or failures industrial processes. In most processes, linear, and nonlinear relationships coexist. To improve performance, both linear features should be considered simultaneously. this article, novel hybrid linear-nonlinear statistical modeling approach for data-driven incipient is proposed by closely ...

CONTEXT While parental cardiovascular disease (CVD) doubles the risk for CVD in offspring, the extent of increased risk associated with sibling CVD is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine, using validated events, whether sibling CVD predicts outcome in middle-aged adults independent of other risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Framingham Offspring Study, an inception cohort of th...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising method for the mass production of high-quality graphene films, and great progress has been made over last decade. Currently, CVD growth being pushed to achieve further advancements, such as super-clean, ultra-flat, defect-free materials, well controlling layer, stacking order, doping level during large-scale preparation. The by relies on an in-dept...
