Objectives: To evaluate the effect of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) on endothelial function, aortic and carotid stiffness, and wave reflection in a population living in the Chernobyl area at the time of 1986 blast, treated with thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Methods: 23 subjects (age 26±3 years,...

Purpose: Aortic stiffness and wave reflections are determinants of left ventricular performance and independent predictors of cardiovascular risk. Though it is well recognized that regular aerobic exercise can affect arterial stiffness and wave reflections, the acute effect of intense aerobic exercise...

Much research has been conducted on anomaly detection by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The existing WSNs require specialized knowledge and skills to install the sensors in environments such as houses and buildings. Therefore, we have developed a flexible WSN based on small sensor devices that can...

In recent years, the software quality becomes more important because the system becomes large scale and high performance. In general, many defects are embedded in the upstream process of the software development. As one reason of the above, specifications include ambiguous description. As a means for...

A full description of the high-level language for solving arbitrary problems in heterogeneous, distributed, and dynamic worlds, both physical and virtual, will be presented and discussed. The language is based on holistic and gestalt principles representing semantic level solutions in distributed environments...

Due to the mismatch between the order of costumers and the production capacity resulting from demand uncertainty, product shortages or wastes of production capacity occur. In response, the subcontracting of production among the plants occurs to diminish the influence of this mismatch on expected profits....

We construct a deformation quantization for two cases of configuration spaces: the multiplicative group of positive real numbers R+ and the circle S1 . In these cases we define the momenta using the Fourier transform. Using the identification of symbols of quantum observables -- real functions on the...

The dependence on time of the moments of the one-soliton KdV solutions is given by Bernoulli polynomials. Namely, we prove the formula R x n sech 2 (x − t) dx = 2 π n (−i) n Bn ( 1 2 + t π i) , expressing the moments of the one-soliton function sech 2 (x−t) in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials...

With respect to intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute decision making problems with preference information on alternatives and incomplete weight information, a method based the minimum deviation is proposed.
