P5.19 STIFF ARTERIES, STIFF HEARTS?
Artery Research, 2013 Objectives: To examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and diastolic function in healthy normotensive subjects. Methods: For this study, 43 male (40±10 years) and 64 female (40±9 years) subjects were recruited. All were lifelong non-smokers,

The stiff man and stiff man plus syndromes
Journal of Neurology, 1999 Rigidity in the setting of continuous motor unit activity at rest can be caused by a variety of central and peripheral conditions. A central origin is suggested by the presence of painful reflex spasms. Focal spinal lesions and infective causes are relatively easily excluded through imaging, microbiological and serological studies.

Variable Step Hybrid Block Method for the Approximation of Kepler Problem
Fractal and Fractional, 2022 In this article, a variable step size strategy is adopted in formulating a new variable step hybrid block method (VSHBM) for the solution of the Kepler problem, which is known to be a rigid and stiff differential equation.

Variable Step Block Hybrid Method for Stiff Chemical Kinetics Problems
Applied Sciences, 2022 Integration of a larger stiff system of initial value problems emerging from chemical kinetics models requires a method that is both efficient and accurate, with a large absolute stability region. To determine the solutions of the stiff chemical kinetics

Journal of Hand and Microsurgery, 2015 Background Finger stiffness varies substantially in patients with hand and upper extremity illness and can be notably more than expected for a given pathophysiology. In prior studies, pain intensity and magnitude of disability consistently correlate with coping strategies such as catastrophic thinking and kinesiophobia, which can be characterized as ...

Physical Review E, 2007 We report on the geometry and mechanics of knotted stiff strings. We discuss both closed and open knots. Our two main results are: (i) Their equilibrium energy as well as the equilibrium tension for open knots depend on the type of knot as the square of the bridge number; (ii) Braid localization is found to be a general feature of stiff strings ...
