Clinical studies suggest that diabetes is a risk factor in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension.The increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary area is characterized by the increase in the afterload and hypertrophy of the right ventricle.The objective of this study was to conduct a longitudinal follow-up of the morphological and funct

The conservation of species structured in metapopulations involves an important dilemma of resource allocation: should investments be directed at restoring/enlarging habitat patches or increasing connectivity.This is still an open question for Maculinea species despite they are among the best studied and emblematic butterfly species, because none o

Ultra-wideband (UWB) nonlinear frequency modulation (NLFM) waveforms have the advantages of low sidelobes and high resolution.By extending the frequency domain wideband synthesis method to the NLFM waveform, the synthetic bandwidth will be limited, and the grating lobe will grow as the number of subpulses Pieces increases at a fixed synthetic bandw

CVT chains have become widely used in vehicles because the slip between parts is very small, which enables efficient power transmission.However, the motion caused by the pins of the CVT chain entering and leaving the pulleys one after another during the power transmission process results in periodic motion of the whole chain.This behavior is known

The main focus of disaster management is currently on disaster risk reduction activities.Mount Merapi in Indonesia is one of the most active volcanoes in the world with a four-year eruption cycle.The local government of the Sleman Regency has made several efforts to reduce the risk of impacts from the eruption of Mount Merapi.These efforts involve
