The aim of this study was to compare cardiovascular hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation/perfusion (COP) during and after maximal incremental exercise in obese individuals according to their aerobic fitness versus age-matched healthy controls (AMHC). Fifty-four middle-aged obese (OB) and 16 AMHC were recruited. Maximal cardiopulmonary function (gas exchange analysis), cardiac hemodynamics (imp...

Light field (LF) imaging, which captures both spatial and angular information of a scene, is undoubtedly beneficial to numerous applications. Although various techniques have been proposed for LF acquisition, achieving angularly spatially high-resolution remains technology challenge. In this paper, learning-based approach applied 3D epipolar image (EPI) reconstruct LF. Through 2-stage super-res...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether heart function in childhood is affected by exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) from seafood. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study of a Faroese birth cohort (N=1022). Examinations at ages 7 and 14 years included blood pressure, heart rate variability (HRV) and its frequency components of autonomic origin, and brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs). Mercury concentra...

Consider the link bandwidth allocation for transport of correlated traac on a single link with nite buuer capacity under a maximum allowable delay constraint d max. In our measurement architecture, traac is decomposed into three frequency regions: low-frequency (LF) traac in 0 < j!j ! L , high-frequency (HF) traac in j!j ! H and mid-frequency (MF) traac in ! L < j!j < ! H. The zero-frequency co...

We sketch a methodology for the veriication of compiler correctness based on the LF Logical Framework as realized within the Elf programming language. We have applied this technique to specify, implement, and verify a compiler from a simple functional programming language to a variant of the Categorical Abstract Machine (CAM).

conclusions hcv coinfection, older age and ast were associated with lf in patients with hiv infection. objectives the aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify factors associated with liver fibrosis (lf) in patients with hiv monoinfection and hiv-hcv coinfection. patients and methods we analyzed lf by transient elastometry ([te], fibroscan) in three groups of patients (hiv, hiv-hcv and ...

Several studies found that breathing abnormalities like OSA or Cheyne-Stokes ventilation are related to periodic changes in heart rate [1,2]. The influences of OSA on HRV analyzed by power spectral analysis have not been investigated until now. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to assess changes in the power spectrum of HRV during episodes of OSA as compared to a normal breathing patter...
