We model s-wave and d-wave disordered granular superconductors with a three-dimensional lattice of randomly distributed Josephson junctions. The nonlinear ac resistivity rho(2) of these systems was calculated using Langevin dynamical equations. The current amplitude dependence of rho(2) at the peak position is found to be a power law characterized by exponent alpha, which is not universal but d...

The phenomenon of traveling waves of the brain is an intriguing area of research, and its mechanisms and neurobiological bases have been unknown since the 1950s. The present study offers a new method to compute traveling alpha waves using the center of mass algorithm. Electroencephalographic alpha waves are oscillations with a characteristic frequency range and reactivity to closed eyes. Severa...

The aim of this study was to compare the brain wave pattern of two groups of dyslexic students with perceptual and linguistic type with normal students in reading. Method: In this study, 27 students (24 boys and 3 girls) from first to fifth grade with an average age of 8.16 and a standard deviation of 10.09 years participated. 8 students with perceptual type dyslexia, 10 students with linguisti...

An easy way to evaluate the cardiovascular system is recording the cardiac electrical activities. Reviewing the available literatures suggests that buffalos ECG compared to other large animals have been neglected and the carried out studies in this field are too limited. Using this method for the diagnosis of cardiac disorders needs the standardization, not only among animal species but also am...

Combined V-wave and Hoffmann (H) reflex measurements were performed during maximal muscle contraction to examine the neural adaptation mechanisms induced by resistance training. The H-reflex can be used to assess the excitability of spinal alpha-motoneurons, while also reflecting transmission efficiency (i.e., presynaptic inhibition) in Ia afferent synapses. Furthermore, the V-wave reflects the...

background during the four steps of the valsalva maneuver (vm), opposite changes can be observed in some physiologic parameters. manifestations of the vm in the electrocardiogram (ecg) have been studied in detail, but there have been few reports comparing vm-related biochemical and hemodynamic changes with a focus on the strain phase of the vm. objectives we studied strain-related ecg changes d...

background: accidents are the second reason for mortality and morbidity in iran. among them, brain injuries are the most important damage. clarification of the effects of brain injuries on different body systems will help physicians to prioritize their treatment strategies. in this study, the effect of pure brain trauma on the cardiovascular system and lungs 24 hours post trauma was assessed. m...

The propagation of arbitrary amplitude dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a magnetized collisional dusty plasma including hot electrons, with kappa velocity distribution for electrons, warm ions and dust particles has been studied. In the presence of immobile massive dust particulates, DIAWs have been investigated through the Sagdeev pseudo-potential method. It is demonstrated that the amplitud...

Fast reduction of blood water volume due to ultra-filtration via hemodialysis machine and critical threshold of blood water volume can result in clinical complications such as hypotension. When blood water volume reduces during hemodialysis process, the concentration of blood forming elements will increase. One of the methods for the monitoring of the concentration changes is ultrasonic speed m...
