Introduction: Risk of a cardiovascular event is known to increase in the period immediately post-transplantation before returning to baseline or lower. We hypothesised that this might be due to changes in arterial stiffness and/or endothelial function. Methods: We measured aortic pulse wave velocity...

Objectives: Music has been correlated to cardiovascular health and used as additional therapy in patients with cardiovascular disease, however, few are known on the impact of music on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics which are both predictors of cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effect...

Background: Arterial calcification is commonly observed in cardiovascular disease and is associated with increased arterial stiffness, systolic hypertension and adverse cardiovascular outcome. Arterial calcification is an actively regulated process with several stimulating and inhibiting factors. An...

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by obesity and a high prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) but this may not translate into increased cardiovascular events. The energy and timing of waves in large arteries may be quantified by separated wave analysis from wave intensity (WI)...

Introduction: Aortic stiffness is related to renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease and may contribute to the high cardiovascular mortality in this group.

This paper is a continuation of [1] where the classical model was analyzed. Discussed are some quantization problems of two-dimensional affinely rigid body with the double dynamical isotropy. Considered are highly symmetric models for which the variables can be separated. Some explicit solutions are...

The peakons are peaked traveling wave solutions of an integrable shallow water eqution. We present a variational proof of their stability.

A general structure of commutator representations for the hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) is proposed. As two concrete examples, the Harry-Dym and Kaup-Newell cases are discused.

The course is the basis of teaching construction in the universities.

To explore the ways of imparting knowledge, cultivating ability and guiding...

The construction of college English ecological classroom is related to the stimulation of students’ interest in learning, the establishment of harmonious relationship between students and teachers, the exertion of students’ initiative, and the entertainment included in teaching, which is the mainstream...

This article aims to elucidate the creative planning of place identity and local distinctiveness in Setu Babakan cultural area, which is moderately influenced by the socio-culture context of Betawinese culture. Setu Babakan is one of the designated areas for Betawi Cultural Center (BCC), which has been...

The ever-increasing network user use places enormous strain on the existing network infrastructure, causing congestion and lowering network performance. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is becoming the standard transport technology for core networks due to its potential to create procedures and...

Liu Chenweng was a literary scholar and literary critic of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and is known as the “backbone of the Xin Genre”. 354 of his lyrics have survived, and their ideological content has a distinctive brand of the times, which is known as the “history of lyrics”. Liu Chenweng’s lyricism...

Guan Ge Style represents a broad and complicated concept which originated from the Imperial Examination System in the feudal times and peaked at Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1912). This paper analyzes the characteristics of Guan Ge Style writing on Chinese curved name tablets and look into its artistic...

With the development of China’s economy, a regional pattern has gradually formed in which the eastern region takes the lead, the western region actively promotes, and the central region speeds up its development. However, there is still a great imbalance in regional development and the regional economic...

As a symbol, language plays the role of medium in the process of communication. On connotation and value of language, it carries regional and national thinking habit and values. After translation theory changes from text to function, it pays attention to function application of language after translation....

To solve the problem that harmony search (HS) algorithm is easily trapped into local optimal, a novel improved harmony search (IHS) algorithm is proposed. Search strategy are redefined in IHS. In order to increase the diversity of harmony in harmony memory and enhance exploration, the concept of entropy...
