Theoretical and experimental investigations of arterial pulse wave velocity (pwv)
Pulse transit time (PTT) is the time delay for the energy wave to travel between two sites in the arteries. (The energy wave can be visualized as acute dilation of the arterial wall and usually moves much faster than blood.) PTT in the form of pulse wave

GPS-derived PWV for rainfall nowcasting in tropical region
In this paper, a simple algorithm is proposed to perform the nowcasting of rainfall in the tropical region. The algorithm applies global positioning system-derived precipitable water vapor (PWV) values and its second derivative for the short-term ...

Modulation of Arterial Stiffness Gradient by Acute Administration of Nitroglycerin
Background: Physiologically, the aorta is less stiff than peripheral conductive arteries, creating an arterial stiffness gradient, protecting microcirculation from high pulsatile pressure.

Evaluation of Vascular Involvement in Children with Celiac Disease
Aim:Celiac disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to inflammation and autoimmunity involved in its pathophysiology. We aimed to evaluate vascular involvement in children with celiac disease based on their augmentation ...

On the Importance of PWV in Detecting Precipitation [PDF]
With a rapid increase in the number of geostationary satellites around the earth's orbit, there has been a renewed interest in using Global Positioning System (GPS) to understand several phenomenon in earth's atmosphere. Such study using GPS devices are popular amongst the remote sensing community, as they provide several advantages with respect to ...

A Gradient Boosting Decision Tree Based Correction Model for AIRS Infrared Water Vapor Product
High‐quality precipitable water vapor (PWV) measurements have an essential role in climate change and weather prediction studies. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument provides an opportunity to measure PWV at infrared (IR) bands twice daily
