Coping Style and Blood Pressure in African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study
… scores were below 15.00. Comparatively, 75% of PFD scores fell below 13.00 and EFD fell below 10.00 respectively. Women had slightly higher scores than men on most subscales problem-focused engagement; problem-focused disengagement; emotion-focused engagement and, emotion-focused disengagement. …

Design of a prototype personal static var compensator
… calculating the load displacement power factor (PFD) and for executing the fuzzy logic control scheme for the two branches. The PSVC was found to reduce the RMS current drawn by a 55-watt AC motor by 25% while raising its PFD by 40% to 0.99 lagging. The expected quick rate of return of …

Mechanism of yeast prion portein aggregation and strain formation
… in vitro. Rnq1p prion forming domain: Rnq1p PFD) can form fibers that template the conversion of monomeric protein into amyloid fibers. Further, Rnq1p PFD has a shorter lag phase for fiber formation at 37oC when compared to 25oC. Surprisingly, increasing the temperature at which fibers are …

Effect of permeation of discharge characteristics of capacitive deionization process
… process with permeating flow discharge (PFD). In PFD, the waste water is permeated through the porous electrodes rather than flowing in-between the electrodes as is the case in the conventional axial flow discharge (AFD) process.

CHALLENGES IN TRACKING THE DEGRADATION OF LANDFILLED MSW THROUGH LABORATORY AND NUMERICAL MEANS
… framework, the python finite difference (PFD) model was proposed. The PFD modeling framework allows for the coupled simulation of thermal, biological, and hydraulic effects while also simulating the phase change. The general applicability of the PFD modeling framework and the importance of …

Interazioni tra le glicoproteine D, B, H ed L critiche per la fusione indotta dal virus Herpes simplex
… a specialised domain, named pro-fusion domain (PFD), located C-terminally in the ectodomain. Here, we show that PFD is made of subdomains 1 and 2 (amino acids 260–285 and 285–310) and that each one partially contributed to herpes simplex virus infectivity. Chimeric gB molecules composed of HSV …

The Measurement and Characterisation of Aerosol in the Urban Atmosphere (PM10) and an Evaluation ofthe Sources of these Particles by Number
… UK. The average perimeter fractal dimension (PFD) of aerosol was consistently significantly greater at the roadside than the background (+ 0.02), indicative of a smoother, aged aerosol at the background site. The sampling of a variety of combustion engines was made for source identification …

General Aviation Aircraft: A Comparative Analysis of Analog Instrument Display and Conceptual Primary Flight Display
… display versus primary flight display (PFD) had on pilot performance. Pilot performance was evaluated by: (a) time, and (b) number of errors. There were twenty subjects with a minimum of a private pilot license selected from the Aeronautical Science department at Embry-Riddle …

Low phase noise, high bandwidth frequency synthesis techniques
… noise sources (VCO, charge-pump, reference and PFD noise) ultimately limit noise performance. An analytical model that draws an analogy between fractional-N frequency synthesizers and MASH A digital-to-analog converters is proposed. Calculated performance of a synthesizer implementing the …

Predictores de la actividad física en estudiantes de secundaria obligatoria de La Rioja: perspectiva de género
… sin embargo las chicas tienen un menor deseo de PFD que los chicos (59,90% y 71%) y, efectivamente, se constata que los chicos practican más actividad física que las chicas en su tiempo libre (85,7% y 65,6%, respectivamente). En esta misma línea, se observa que los varones presentan más …
