An investigation of antihypertensive class, dementia, and cognitive decline : A meta-analysis
(American Academy of Neurology, 2020)
OBJECTIVE:
High blood pressure is one of the main modifiable risk factors for dementia. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding the best antihypertensive class for optimizing cognition. Our objective was to ...
An Investigation of the Robustness in the Travelling Salesman Problem Routes Using Special Structured Matrices
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
In this study, the robustness of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) routes is investigated by recognising the special combinatorial structures of Kalmanson matrices. A recognition algorithm encompassing three procedures ...
An isolable, chelating bis[cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene] stabilizes a strongly bent, dicoordinate Ni(0) complex
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024)
Chelating ligands have had a tremendous impact in coordination chemistry and catalysis. Notwithstanding their success as strongly σ-donating and π-accepting ligands, to date no chelating bis[cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes] ...
An mHealth App for Supporting Quitters to Manage Cigarette Cravings With Short Bouts of Physical Activity: A Randomized Pilot Feasibility and Acceptability Study
(JMIR Publications Inc., 2017)
Background: While gains in reducing smoking rates in Finland have been made, prevalence rates are still substantial. Relapse
rates among smokers engaged in quit-smoking programs are high. Physical activity has been proposed ...
An Observation Framework for Multi-Agent Systems
(IEEE, 2009)
Existing middleware platforms for multi-agent systems
(MAS) do not provide general support for observation. On
the other hand, observation is considered to be an important
mechanism needed for realizing effective and ...
An Online Inquiry Tool to Support the Exploration of Controversial Issues on the Internet
(Florida Atlantic University, 2016)
This paper describes a theoretically informed Online Inquiry Tool designed to support the
exploration of controversial issues on the Internet. The tool’s design is grounded in principles
associated with theories of online ...
An optimal local active noise control method based on stochastic finite element models
(Elsevier, 2013)
A new method is presented to obtain a local active noise control that is optimal in stochastic environment. The method uses numerical acoustical modeling that is performed in the frequency domain by using a sequence of ...
An optimization-based approach for solving a time-harmonic multiphysical wave problem with higher-order schemes
(Elsevier, 2013)
This study considers developing numerical solution techniques for the computer simulations of time-harmonic fluid-structure interaction between acoustic and elastic waves. The focus is on the efficiency of an iterative ...
An overview of research within the Genre and Multimodality framework
(Elsevier, 2017)
This review article provides an overview of the research conducted within the Genre and Multimodality framework, which has been used to describe the multimodality of page-based documents and other multimodal artefacts over ...
An overview of the concepts of change and development - from the premodern to modern era
(Springer, 2012)
This chapter focuses on the concepts of change and progress: on one hand, it approaches
this topic from the point of view of the history of science; on the other hand, from the
point of view of modern developmental ...
