Exact Green's functions and Bosonization of a Luttinger liquid coupled to impedances [PDF]
The exact Green's functions of a finite-size Luttinger Liquid (LL) connected to impedances are computed at zero and finite temperature. Bosonization for a LL with Impedance boundary conditions (IBC) is proven to hold. The LL with open boundary conditions (for both Neumann and Dirichlet cases) is explicitly recovered as a special limit when one has ...

Summary IntroductionTraditional obesity measures including body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐hip ratio, and waist‐to‐height ratio have limitations. The primary objective of this study was to identify and review the validity of non‐traditional obesity measures, using measures of total body fat as the reference standard, that have been used ...

Summary Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) are used for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity. GLP1RAs induce significant weight loss but concerns have been raised regarding the associated effects on muscle mass (MM). We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis assessing the effects of GLP1RAs on various

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Patient compliance with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is similar using manual‐titrated pressure compared to auto‐titration, although auto‐titration pressures are usually 2–5 cmH2O higher than manual pressure, indicating that CPAP moderately higher than the optimal pressure will not necessarily impair ...

Impact of artificial airway resistances on regional ventilation distribution during airway closure
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a noninvasive and radiation-free imaging technique can be used in pulmonary function monitoring for determining regional ventilation distribution within the lung.

Correlation of Air Displacement Plethysmography with Alternative Body Fat Measurement Techniques in Men and Women [PDF]
International Journal of Exercise Science 5(4) : 367-378, 2012. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with serious health consequences. Techniques used to measure body fat (BF) yield variable BF estimates, and this variability may lead to ...

The concept of impedance, which characterises the current response to a periodical driving, is introduced in the context of stochastic transport. In particular, we calculate the impedance for an exactly solvable model, namely the stochastic transport of particles through a single-level quantum dot.

Abstract Sitting‐induced impairments in postprandial blood flow are an important link between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic disease risk. The objective of this work was to examine the effects of resistance exercise breaks (REB) performed every 30 min during an otherwise sedentary 3‐h period on the vasodilatory response to a subsequent oral ...
