We investigate ECG recordings of healthy subjects (H subjects) and those with heart failure (HF subjects) based on a new measure derived from the shape of the ECG signal during each heart beat. From this measure we construct sequences, called “morphograms”, which are complementary to...

The impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has disturbed the hydrological regime downstream and has directly affected the relationship between the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. To trace the realistic and potential impacts, this paper examined the changes of the channel morphology and...

Extant research has established that social responsibility (SR) activity can be beneficial to companies by influencing consumers’ SR associations with the company and its product brands. However, most studies only look at the outcomes of SR initiatives implemented at the corporate level (i.e.,...

Measurements of UV (ultraviolet) and global solar radiation in Central China during 2006–2012 were first reported to investigate the UV radiation variability in different time scales and its UV fraction under different sky conditions. Both UV irradiation and UV fraction showed similar features...

The influence of hydrogen addition (0-100%) on combustion and emission characteristics (NO and CO emission characteristics) of laminar-premixed methane flame under gas turbine relevant operating conditions was numerically studied. The PREMIX code of ANSYS CHEMKIN-PRO and the GRI-Mech 3.0 were...
