Pulse Wave Velocity in Postmenopausal Women [PDF]

Pulse, 2013
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and osteoporosis are major causes of morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women. The relationship between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis has been established by studies of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and biochemical pathways that seem to overlap in many places. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is one of the

Seismic responses of isolated bridges subjected to near-fault ground motions: simple pulses vs. whole records

Frontiers in Built Environment
Velocity pulse with strong energy input is the significant feature of near-fault ground motions. Bridges close to or passing across seismic faults may suffer from higher failure risk, which is inseparable from the influence of velocity pulse.

Retardation and reduction of pulse distortion by group-velocity dispersion through pulse shaping [PDF]

, 1995
We show that a reduction in the pulse distortion caused by chromatic dispersion can be achieved through pulse shaping. We argue that a simple binary phase mask in the Fourier plane of the laser spectrum can improve the transmission of short pulses in a ...

Analysis of faulting destruction and water supply pipeline damage from the first mainshock of the February 6, 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet[Key points]

Earthquake Science
In 2023, two consecutive earthquakes exceeding a magnitude of 7 occurred in Türkiye, causing severe casualties and economic losses. The damage to critical urban infrastructure and building structures, including highways, railroads, and water supply ...

Observations of a pulse driven cool polar jet by SDO/AIA

, 2011
Context. We observe a solar jet at north polar coronal hole (NPCH) using SDO AIA 304 {\deg}A image data on 3 August 2010. The jet rises obliquely above the solar limb and then retraces its propagation path to fall back. Aims.

Pulse-splitting in light propagation through $N$-type atomic media due to an interplay of Kerr-nonlinearity and group velocity dispersion [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate the spatio-temporal evolution of a Gaussian probe pulse propagating through a four-level $N$-type atomic medium. At two-photon resonance of probe-and control fields, weaker probe pulses may propagate through the medium with low absorption ...

Urbanization as a risk factor for aortic stiffness in a cohort in India. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Urbanization is associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Aortic stiffness, as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is a validated predictor of cardiovascular disease. Our objective was to determine the association

Electron gun for diffraction experiments off controlled molecules [PDF]

, 2015
A dc electron gun, generating picosecond pulses with up to $8\times10^{6}$ electrons per pulse, was developed. Its applicability for future time-resolved-diffraction experiments on state- and conformer-selected laser-aligned or oriented gaseous samples ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Seismic Response of a Large-Span Steel Truss Arch Bridge under Nonuniform Near-Fault Ground Motions

Buildings
The ground motion in the near-fault region of an earthquake is characterized by exceptional energy levels, powerful velocity impulses, substantial spatial variability, and notable permanent displacement.
