Impact of aging on cardiovascular dynamics and heart rate variability during passive head‐up tilt by Manoj Kumar Choudhary, Kati Holmström, Heidi Bouquin, Tuomas P. Saarinen, Jenni K. Koskela, Essi Pietilä, Lauri Suojanen, Jukka T. Mustonen, Pasi I. Nevalainen, Ilkka H. Pörsti

“…Abstract During aging, arterial stiffness and blood pressure (BP) increase, while heart rate variability (HRV) decreases. We examined age‐related hemodynamics in 522 individuals without cardiovascular disease during passive head‐up tilt (HUT) using pulse wave analysis, whole‐body impedance cardiography, and HRV analysis. …”

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study by Md Tahmid Yasar, Arnold M. Evia, Mahir Tazwar, Sue E. Leurgans, David A. Bennett, Julie A. Schneider, Konstantinos Arfanakis

“…Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated R2 at different CAA severity levels in a large number of community‐based older adults. …”

Numerical assessments of scour depth predictions downstream of box culverts under various flow and blockage conditions by Kaywan Othman Ahmed, Mohammad Reza Kavianpour, Ata Amini, Younes Aminpour

“…The analysis revealed that predictions from numerical models corresponded closely with experimental outcomes, although the scour depths calculated by the models were generally lower than those observed under both steady and unsteady flow conditions. While blockage rates notably impacted scour patterns in the first hydrograph of unsteady flows, increasing blockage percentages did not reliably result in proportional increases in scour depth, as seen in the second hydrograph for unsteady and both steady flow conditions.…”

Case report: Extreme respiratory sinus arrhythmia in a non-athlete female student - a peculiar finding at the Physiology practicum by John M. Karemaker

“…During an ECG-training course, a case of extreme respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) was found in a 19-year-old slender, female student who was not active in sports. The heart rate (HR) fluctuated from above 100 to below 60 beats per minute (bpm), often from one beat to the next. …”

New Driving Structure to Increase Pixel Charging Ratio for UHD TFT-LCDs With High Frame Rate by Chih-Lung Lin, Jui-Hung Chang, Fu-Hsing Chen, Po-Cheng Lai, Yi-Chien Chen, Cheng-Han Ke, Chia-En Wu, Jia-Tian Peng

“…To verify the feasibility of the proposed driving structure, a 12.3-inch panel with UHD (3840 × 2160) and a frame rate of 120 Hz is fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed driving structure yields a measured pixel charging ratio of more than 97.09% for a heavy loading pattern with a gray level of 255. …”

Temporal coding carries more stable cortical visual representations than firing rate over time by Hanlin Zhu, Fei He, Pavlo Zolotavin, Saumil Patel, Andreas S. Tolias, Lan Luan, Chong Xie

“…However, previous studies report varying degrees of gradual neural activity changes over time in slow dynamic (1-5 seconds) firing rate code. Here we show that temporal codes, which capture structures in visually evoked fast (tens of milliseconds) spiking patterns, support the stability of visual representations. …”
