Ionization waves of arbitrary velocity driven by a flying focus

open access: yes, 2017
A chirped laser pulse focused by a chromatic lens exhibits a dynamic, or "flying," focus in which the trajectory of the peak intensity decouples from the group velocity.

Evaluation of Distensibility and Stiffness of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2016
Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging emerging as a new tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of ascending aortic aneurysm. The aim of our study is to evaluate in vivo distensibility and pulse wave velocity of the aortic wall using functional magnetic

The effects of antihypertensive drugs on arterial stiffness☆

open access: yesArtery Research, 2016
Ageing and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly uncontrolled hypertension, adversely impact arterial stiffness and wave reflection leading to increased central systolic blood pressure.

Comparison between estimated and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity for cardiovascular and overall mortality prediction

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2021
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was a good marker of arterial stiffness and could predict cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Recently, estimated PWV (ePWV) calculated by equations using age and mean blood pressure was reported to be an independent predictor of ...

A Comparative Study of Brachial–Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and Heart–Finger Pulse Wave Velocity in Korean Adults

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Arterial stiffness is considered an index of vascular aging. The brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) method is widely used because of its proven effectiveness; and the pulse wave velocity measurement method using both electrocardiogram (ECG) and ...

Distinct stick-slip modes in adhesive polymer interfaces

open access: yes, 2017
Stick-slip, manifest as intermittent tangential motion between two solids, is a well-known friction instability that occurs in a number of natural and engineering systems.

Broader, flatter optical spectra of passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers for a wavelength-division multiplexing source [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Using the time domain master equation for a complex electric-field pulse envelope, we find analytical results for the optical spectra of passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers. The analysis includes the effect of optical nonlinearity of semiconductor

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

The effect of creatine supplementation on the response of central and peripheral pulse wave velocity to high-intensity resistance exercise

open access: yesCogent Medicine, 2018
Following a bout of high-intensity resistance exercise, a transient increase in arterial stiffness, as measured through central pulse wave velocity has been shown to occur.

Insulin-resistance HCV infection-related affects vascular stiffness in normotensives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background and Aims. Arterial stiffness evaluated as pulse wave velocity, is an early marker of vascular damage and an independent predictor for cardiovascular events.
