We study the combined effects of noise and detector sensitivity on a dynamical process that generates intermittent events mimicking the behavior of complex systems. By varying the sensitivity level of the detector we move between two forms of complexity, from inverse power law to Mittag-Leffler interevent time survival probabilities. Here fluctuations fight against complexity, causing an expone...

background: pregnant women take iron supplements in order to prevent iron deficiency anemia which may have undesirable effects for both the mother and fetus. this study aimed to compare the daily and intermittent dose of iron supplementation in blood and iron indices in healthy pregnant women.methods: in this clinical trial study, 145 healthy pregnant women were selected with hbx0511g%. the par...

background: surgical site infection is known as a common complication after cardiac surgery, and cefazolin is the best prophylactic antibiotic to prevent this complication. the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous and intermittent cefazolin for the prevention of superficial surgical site infection following off-pump coronary artery bypass (opcab). methods: this prospectiv...

background & aim: although cold and heat have been recommended for labor pain relief, comparison of them and intermittent change in cold and heat therapy has been less considered. this study compared the effects of separate and intermittent heat and cold on labor pain relief and some birth outcomes . methods & materials : this was a randomized clinical trial. ninety-six parturient women were ra...

Transiently powered devices have given rise to a new model of computation called intermittent computation. Intermittent programs keep checkpointing the program state to a persistent memory, and on power failures, the programs resume from the last executed checkpoint. An intermittent program is usually automatically generated by instrumenting a given continuous program. The behaviour of the cont...

This symposium was organized to present research dealing with the effects of intermittent hypoxia on cardiorespiratory systems and cellular mechanisms. The pattern of neural impulse activity has been shown to be critical in the induction of genes in neuronal cells and involves distinct signaling pathways. Mechanisms associated with different patterns of intermittent hypoxia might share similar ...

Background: Different approaches are available to irrigate the arterial catheter, such as continuous and intermittent techniques. However, there is a disagreement regarding the most appropriate method. Aim: this study aimed to compare the effect of two continuous and intermittent irrigation methods on complications of arterial catheter and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) in patients with coro...

BACKGROUND There are conflicting results for the association between obstructive sleep apnoea and raised C reactive protein (CRP) levels. A study was undertaken to investigate whether nocturnal intermittent hypoxia, a surrogate marker for obstructive sleep apnoea, was associated with CRP levels among a community-dwelling Japanese population. METHODS Among participants in the Circulatory Risk ...

the purpose of the present research was to determine the effects of intermittent and continuous training programs on some selected cardiovascular risk factors in young obese females. for this purpose, 36 obese sedentary subjects with bmi>30 were randomly assigned to three groups of intermittent exercise (mean ± sd of height, weight, and age: 163.2±5.8cm, 86.8±11.8kg, 20.7±1.3yr), continuous exe...
