Background— Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves systolic function in heart
failure patients with ventricular conduction delay by stimulating the left ventricle (LV) or both …

Aims The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between left ventricular (LV)
electrical delay, as measured by the QLV interval, and outcomes in a prospectively …

Ultrasonic guided wave is a promising technique for structural health monitoring and
nondestructive testing. However, due to the anisotropy and complexity of composite materials, the …

Introduction: There are several methods for programming the optimal AV delay (AVD)
during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). These include Doppler echocardiographic …

Rice, being a major staple food crop and sensitive to salinity conditions, bears heavy yield
losses due to saline soil. Although some salt responsive genes have been identified in rice, …

Aiming at the difficulty of vehicle lateral control in high-speed condition, a comprehensive
control method that integrates active steering (AS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC) …

The path-following problem for four-wheel independent driving and four-wheel independent
steering electric autonomous vehicles is investigated in this paper. Owing to the over-…

In this paper, a hybrid piezoelectric-fiber sensor network is developed to monitor the three-dimensional
resin flow front of thick composite parts in the vacuum assisted resin infusion (…

Objectives : This study was conceived to evaluate the relationship between interventricular
electrical delay, as measured by the right ventricle-left ventricle (RV-LV) interval, and …

Accurately and quantitatively monitoring the damages in complicated composite structures
is very challenging, but essential for assessing their integrity. In this paper, an innovative …
