Arterial Blood pressure (BP) is influenced by numerous factors. Guidelines on measurement of BP contain recommendations on the position of the back by advising that the subject should sit with back supported. The objectives of this work are: i) to determine whether unsupported back during BP measurement in sitting position has significant effect on BP, ii) to determine the relationship between ...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common inherited nephropathy responsible for 4%-10% of end-stage renal disease cases. Mutations in the genes encoding polycystin-1 (PC1, PKD1) or polycystin-2 (PC2, PKD2) cause ADPKD, and PKD1 mutations are associated with more severe renal disease. PC1 has been shown to form a complex with PC2, and the severity of PKD1-mediated disease ...

Under the combined effects of topography and vegetation, hydrological connectivity characteristics riverbank slopes become complex unclear, which limit utilization protection riparian zones. To quantify in root–soil composites, we conducted dyeing tracing experiments a high elevation plot low on bank Fenhe River. Soil root properties indexes plots were measured analyzed. The results showed that...

Thin films of binary Bi 0 -TeO and Bi 0 -V 0 systems were prepared by the thermal co-evaporation technique in a vacuum at room temperature. The optical absorption edge of these systems are studied in the wavelength of 200-800 nm using a PERKIN-ELMER uv/Vis spectrophotometer. It is found that the value of n=3/2 in the Davis-Mott equation is best fitted for the fundamental absorption edge f...

[1] Here we present a survey of the spatial variability in different climate zones seen from AIRS data using the spectral EOF analysis. Over the tropical and subtropical oceans, the first principal component (PC1) is mostly due to the thermal contrast between surface and thick cold cloud tops. The second principal component (PC2) is mainly due to the spatial variation of the lower tropospheric ...

Post-disaster sector damage data is that has features or criteria in each case the level of to post-natural disaster data. These are building conditions, structures, physicals, functions, and other supporting conditions. Data on used this study amounted 216 data, which 5 for sector. Then post-disaster were processed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) look labels The results these will be ...

This study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution and apportionment of potential sources 16 US-EPA priority PAHs in surface sediments Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand. A total 28 sediment samples were collected from areas with high maritime activity subjected conventional recovery Soxhlet extraction, purified SiO2 column chromatography, quantified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC...

The application of remote sensing is considered to be highly efficient in the field geology, particularly for mapping and discrimination between lithological units, as well identification different surface minerals which enable acquisition all optical radar data needed obtain more reliable particular information, especially inaccessible areas. Landsat 8 (Operational Land Imager) image bands, in...
