background: underlying diseases and aggressive procedures, such as different types of surgery and care, for patients with critical conditions in intensive care units (icu) may be associated with physiological disorders. objectives: this study intended to determine the effect of therapeutic touch on physiological variables of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in icu. methods: this rando...

A TCP flow is congestion responsive because it reduces its send window upon the appearance of congestion. An aggregate of nonpersistent TCP flows, however, may not be congestion responsive, depending on whether the flow (or session) arrival process reacts to congestion or not. In this paper, we describe a methodology for the passive estimation of traffic congestion responsiveness. The methodolo...

The present study investigated the circadian rhythm variations of heart rate and blood pressure due to 1 (60 minutes) and 2 split exercise sessions (2 × 30 minutes) a day. Fourteen healthy students from the University of Tabriz volunteered to participate in current study. Two groups of subjects in a crossover design were randomly allocated as group I (one session per day, twice a day) and vice ...

In two experiments, healthy participants ages 60 years and older provided peak-interval time production data for two target intervals (6 and 17s) over 2 days (baseline and retest sessions). In Experiment 1, three groups of participants were provided with two types of feedback during the baseline session that assisted either decision criteria setting or memory updating. During the retest session...

Background. Cardiac rehabilitation program is aimed at reducing secondary risk factors and improving function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting run which ultimately may delay or reduce mortality in patients. A major component of cardiac rehabilitation program is exercise. Objective(s). This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of aquatic and dryland training on Perox...

The effects of prolonged imaginal exposure sessions (60 minutes; n=60) were compared with those of shorter exposure sessions (30 minutes, n=32) for patients with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Consistent with the authors' hypothesis, patients who received 30-minute imaginal exposure sessions showed less within-session habituation than patients who received 60-minute exposure sess...
