PMID: 22279337
Indian J Nephrol. 2012 Jan;22(1):13-7. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.91181.

Multivessel coronary disease or peripheral arterial disease is the clinical clue to diagnosis of renal artery stenosis (RAS). RAS is considered equivalent to coronary artery disease in terms of cardiovascular risk. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of...

PMID: 27536546
Springerplus. 2016 Aug 05;5(1):1263. doi: 10.1186/s40064-016-2903-0. eCollection 2016.

INTRODUCTION: Government audit authorities supervise the implementation of government budgets and evaluate the use of administrative resources to ensure that funding is used wisely, economically, and effectively. A quality audit involves reviewing policies according to international standards and perspectives,...

Optimal localization of diffusion sources in complex networks.

Royal Society open science

Hu ZL, Han X, Lai YC, Wang WX.
PMID: 28484635
R Soc Open Sci. 2017 Apr 12;4(4):170091. doi: 10.1098/rsos.170091. eCollection 2017 Apr.

Locating sources of diffusion and spreading from minimum data is a significant problem in network science with great applied values to the society. However, a general theoretical framework dealing with optimal source localization is lacking. Combining the controllability theory...

Characteristic investigation of scanning surface plasmon microscopy for nucleotide functionalized nanoarray.

Optics express

Wei SC, Yang PT, Wu TH, Lu YL, Gu F, Sung KB, Lin CW.
PMID: 26367668
Opt Express. 2015 Jul 27;23(15):20104-14. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.020104.

A calculation based on surface plasmon coupling condition and Maxwell-Garnett equation was performed for predicting the coupling angle shift and thin film thickness in scanning surface plasmon microscopy (SSPM). The refractive index sensitivity and lateral resolution of an SSPM...

Bayesian Analysis of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Dynamics with Application to Irregularly Spaced Sparse Data.

The annals of applied statistics

Lu ZH, Chow SM, Sherwood A, Zhu H.
PMID: 26941885
Ann Appl Stat. 2015 Sep;9(3):1601-1620. doi: 10.1214/15-aoas846.

Ambulatory cardiovascular (CV) measurements provide valuable insights into individuals' health conditions in "real-life," everyday settings. Current methods of modeling ambulatory CV data do not consider the dynamic characteristics of the full data set and their relationships with covariates such...

Vasorelaxing and antihypertensive activities of synthesized peptides derived from computer-aided simulation of pepsin hydrolysis of yam dioscorin.

Botanical studies

Lin YS, Lu YL, Wang GJ, Liang HJ, Hou WC.
