Background The nature of police work often necessitates use of Individual Light Armour Vests (ILAVs) for officer protection. Previous research has demonstrated various biomechanical and physical performance impacts of ILAVs, however, little knowledge exists on the individual officer's perceptions of ILAV. The aim of this study was to investigate officers' perceptions of the impacts of three dif...

preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. if the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have been...

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are the most lethal arrhythmias. Established therapies to prevent occurrence of VAs include anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs) and catheter ablation (CA). For patients with recurrent despite AADs CA, there exist novel treatment modalities such as cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) via percutaneous surgical approach stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The curre...

Control chart techniques have been widely used in industries to monitor a process in quality improvement. Whenever we deal with variables data, we usually employ a combination of X-bar chart and R chart (or S chart) to monitor both the center and the spread of the process. In this paper, we propose a simple alternative, that is, we design a single chart to monitor both the center and the spread...

the effects of adenosine,5-n-ethylcarbox-amidoadenosine (neca), 2-chloroadenosine (2-ca), n6-phenyiisopropyladenos'tne (l-pia and d-pia) and n6 -cyclohexyladenos'tne (cha) were examined on the mouse isolated vas deferens. all the compounds in a concentration-dependent manner inhibited electrically induced contrac¬tions. ic of adenosine and its analogues were 13.68 ± 5.97 for ado, 0.736 ± 0.087 ...
