Pulse Wave Velocity in Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2007 In the present cross-sectional study we investigated whether familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is associated with an increased arterial wall stiffness, and whether measures of arterial wall stiffness in FCH family members could contribute to cardiovascular risk stratification.Ninety-eight subjects with FCH and 230 unaffected relatives filled out a

Robust two-dimensional subrecoil Raman cooling by adiabatic transfer in a tripod atomic system
, 2012 We demonstrate two-dimensional robust Raman cooling in a four-level tripod system, in which velocity-selective population transfer is achieved by a STIRAP pulse. In contrast to basic 2D Raman cooling with square envelope pulses [Phys. Rev.

Coherent Amplification of Optical Pulses in Metamaterials [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we theoretically study propagation of steady state ultrashort pulse in dissipative medium. We considered two cases (i) medium consists of lossy metallic nanostructures embedded into a gain material and (ii) the gain material is embedded ...

Pulse velocities in initially stressed arteries
Journal of Biomechanics, 1988 In this short paper, treating the artery as a thick walled cylindrical shell and employing the large deformation theory, an analytical expression for the pulse wave speed is obtained and the effect of lumen pressure and the axial stretch on the wave speed is discussed.

Bifurcating trajectory of non-diffractive electromagnetic Airy pulse [PDF]
, 2011 The explicit expression for spatial-temporal Airy pulse is derived from the Maxwell's equations in paraxial approximation. The trajectory of the pulse in the time-space coordinates is analysed.

Causality in Propagation of a Pulse in a Nonlinear Dispersive Medium
, 2004 We investigate the causal propagation of the pulse through dispersive media by very precise numerical solution of the coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations without any approximations about the strength of the input field.
