background: poor sleep quality (sq) is common among patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (cabg). this study attempted to determine the status of sq following an intervention based on the precede-proceed model in patients with poor sq after cabg. methods: this study was a randomized clinical trial. the study sample, including 100 patients referred to the cardiac rehabilitation cli...

We study classical and quantum caustics for systems with quadratic Lagrangians of the form L = 1 2 ẋ − 1 2 λ(t)x − μ(t)x. After deriving the transition amplitude on caustics in a closed form, we consider the Gaussian slit experiment and point out that the focusing around caustics is stabilized against initial momentum fluctuations by quantum effect. PACS codes: 02.30.Hg; 03.65.-w; 03.65.Sq

BACKGROUND Self-quantification (SQ) is a way of working in which, by using tracking tools, people aim to collect, manage, and reflect on personal health data to gain a better understanding of their own body, health behavior, and interaction with the world around them. However, health SQ lacks a formal framework for describing the self-quantifiers' activities and their contextual components or c...

Myeloperoxidase (MPO), present in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, is a myeloid enzyme whose synthesis is restricted to promyelocytes. Complete hereditary MPO deficiency affects 1 in 2,000 to 4,000 individuals; however, the genetic cause of this defect is unclear. We have determined the molecular basis of MPO deficiency in one individual (SQ). Granulocytes of SQ had no ...

The efficient one-pot procedure based on a sequence of hydrosilylation and reduction reactions was applied to obtain carbosilane dendrimers with different silsesquioxane (SQ) cores, i.e. from mono-T 8 SQ, octa-T SQ di- tetrafunctional double-decker silsesquioxanes.

We investigate a one-dimensional, many-body system consisting of particles interacting via repulsive, short-range forces, and moving in an overdamped regime under the effect drag force that depends on direction. That is, to right do not experience same as those left. The dynamics system, effectively described by non-linear, Fokker–Planck equation, exhibits peculiar features related way which ve...

It is unknown whether a novel small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) containing alpha-linolenic (ALA) and linoleic acids impacts maternal plasma lipids and fatty acid status. We measured plasma fatty acids (wt%) and lipid concentrations at 36 wk gestation and breast milk fatty acids (wt%) at 6 months postpartum in a subsample of women enrolled in a randomized controlled trial s...

The kappa SQ software package is designed to assist researchers working on randomized row sampling. The package contains a collection of Matlab functions along with a GUI that ties them all together and provides a platform for the user to perform experiments. In particular, kappa SQ is designed to do experiments related to the two-norm condition number of a sampled matrix, κ(SQ), where S is a r...
