M odern smart watches can measure an array of health indicators. Step counts and heart rates sit at the simpler end, while VO2 max and blood-oxygen levels are mainly of interest to committed health ...

A research team has investigated quasar variability by tracking optical to mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths of variability ...

Fitness trackers and smart watches are widely popular wearable devices that measure several types of health metrics, including step count, calories burned, sleep quality, Vo2 max and heart rate.

A lower resting heart rate indicates an efficient heart and a higher level of parasympathetic activity. When you’re at rest, your nervous system ideally minimizes sympathetic activity, so you’re ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Your heart beats around 100,000 times every day. Heart rate is a key marker of cardiovascular activity and an important vital sign. But your ...

It’s been known for decades that heart rate variability (HRV) during labor signals how a fetus is responding to stress. Lower HRV—a lower variation in heartbeats—is even a risk factor for sudden ...

Variability is crucially important for learning new skills. Consider learning how to serve in tennis. Should you always practice serving from the exact same location on the court, aiming at exactly ...

Understanding climate variability on the decadal timescale is important to decision-making. Planners and policy makers want information about decadal variability in order to make decisions in a range ...

Process variability is becoming more problematic as transistor density increases, both in planar chips and in heterogeneous advanced packages. On the basis of sheer numbers, there are many more things ...
