OBJECTIVES: There are confl icting data regarding the insulin resistance in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD) patients. We investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and anthropometric mea...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate, in a practical manner, the use of linear and angular measurements and different animal-performance indices in a study on the breed-specific conformation of Brazilian Sport Horses tr...

Abstract Background There is currently a lack of reference intervals (RIs) for the novel measures like 3‐dimensional (3D) echocardiography or speckle‐tracking strain for assessment of right ventricular (RV) structure...

Purpose: to determine the consistency of HVID/WTW measurements on 5 devices, and their correspondence to the distance from angle to angle (ATA). Methods The relevant information on 30 right eyes was obtained from 30 ...

Abstract A comparative description is made of the measurements at LHC of pp elastic scattering at 13 TeV by the ATLAS and TOTEM Collaborations. In the total and differential cross sections we show that the differences ar...

OBJECTIVE: In malnourished patients, in anthropometric measurements such as a decrease in the body-mass index (BMI), the triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness and the mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) are often determined al...

In this article, we report the measurement of underwater aerophobicity, through the captive-bubble method, for different polymeric coatings employed to protect microscale and nanoscale flexible electronic devices for sea...

Objetivou-se estudar as medidas de espessura de gordura subcutânea, área de olho-de-lombo, comprimento e profundidade máxima do músculo longissimus dorsi entre a 13ª costela e 1ª vértebra lombar determinadas por u...

Abstract Nozomi was Japan’s first space mission to Mars, launched on 3 July 1998 UT. It was equipped with the Mars Dust Counter (MDC) which was an impact ionisation dust detector. MDC detected 96 dust particle impacts ...

ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction This study determined the usefulness of coefficient of variation (%CV) and average glucose (AG) from 6‐point pre‐ and postprandial blood glucose measurements in assessing hypoglycemia risk ...

The spin Hall effect of light, a phenomenon characterized by the transverse and spin dependent splitting of light at an optical interface, is highly promising for collecting precise quantitative data from interfaces and ...

Objetivou-se estudar o ganho compensatório de cordeiras submetidas a restrição alimentar e, posteriormente, a realimentação à vontade. Foram adotados dois períodos de 60 dias, de modo que, no primeiro, 18 cordeira...

Optical imaging is a powerful tool for investigating the structure and function of tissues. Tissue optical imaging technologies are generally discussed under two broad regimes: microscopic and macroscopic, while the latt...

Abstract Microwave irradiations from vegetation canopy are strongly influenced by its dielectric properties and give useful information for microwave remote sensing -interpretation and applications. This paper reports on...

"Currently, simulations of the induced currents in the brain produced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are used to elucidate the regions reached by stimuli. However, models commonly found in the literature are ...

Converting transverse photons into longitudinal two-dimensional plasmon-–polaritons (2D-PP) and vice versa presents a significant challenge within the fields of photonics and plasmonics. Therefore, understanding the me...

Abstract In this work, we investigated the path loss (PL) profile of the outdoor radio channel in the 800 MHz band for the Icaraí region in the city of Niterói. This frequency band has recently been reserved by the bra...

Abstract Background The clinical relevance of echocardiographic measurements of right heart size and function in dogs with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unknown. Objective To determine if echocardiographic measurements ...

This experiment evaluated the effect of adding macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) cake replacing corn on body measurements and carcass characteristics of Santa Inês lambs. Twenty four 5-month-old uncastrated male lambs were ...

Abstract Background Evaluation of left heart size helps determine disease severity in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Hypothesis/Objectives Determine the ability of radiographic vertebral heart size (VH...

Although octyldodecanol has been used for several decades as an ingredient for emulsions, no required Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) values for this alcohol were found in the literature. The purpose of this paper...

This paper demonstrates theoretically and empirically that a greedy algorithm called Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) can reliably recover a signal with $m$ nonzero entries in dimension $d$ given $ {\rm O}(m \ln d)$ ra...

The objective of this study was to characterize body biometrics of Santa Ines sheep during growth. Data from 4,038 animals, males and females, with ages from four to 36 months, from different herds participating in the N...

In this study we present the comparison of the performance of two systems to measure intraocular scattering. Measurements were made by using a psychophysical system based on a brightness comparison method that provides a...
