International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy, 2020 Background: The relationship between elastic properties of the aorta and presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been investigated in previous studies. However, the relationship of aortic stiffness (AS) with extent and complexity of CAD in patients

On the Importance of PWV in Detecting Precipitation [PDF]
2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium), 2018 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
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 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

Segmental arterial stiffness in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide with preserved systolic heart function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Central arterial stiffness has been shown to play a key role in cardiovascular disease. However, evidence regarding such arterial stiffness from various arterial segments in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) remains elusive.A total of 1255 ...

State of the Art Review: Brachial-Ankle PWV
Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2020 The brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (brachial-ankle PWV), which is measured simply by wrapping pressure cuffs around the four extremities, is a simple marker to assess the stiffness of the medium- to large- sized arteries. The accuracy and reproducibility of its measurement have been confirmed to be acceptable.

use of television by blacks in the PWV area
Communicare: Journal for Communication Studies in Africa, 2022 This article focuses on Rayburn and Palmgreen's (1984) expectancy-value model of gratifications to determine the way in which members of a group of blacks utilize television as a mass medium to satisfy certain needs through selective exposure to their favourite programmes. Also, an attempt is made to test the basic assumptions of the model.
