Copper Beaten Skull! Can It be a Usual Appearance?

'Copper beaten' skull refers to the prominent convolutional markings seen in multiple bones of the skull. Underlying cause is thought to be related to increased intracranial pressure resulting from such processes as craniosynostosis, obstructive hydrocephalus and/or intracranial masses. However, the copper beaten appearance of the skull has poor sensitivity in detecting increased intracranial p...

craniosynostoses is defined as a condition of premature fusion in one or more cranial sutures leading to a number of significant complications, mainly raised intracranial pressure which can itself cause other neurodevelopmental complications. copper beaten skull appearance is a well-known presentation of craniosynostoses made by the strong impression of the brain’s gyri on the inner layer of th...

Ridesharing in Muscat: Can it be a Sustainable Solution for the Traffic Congestion?

We deal with developing a Decision Support System (DSS) to promote the ridesharing among both students and staff of a big organization. The DSS includes a set of functions that allow the management of the riders’ requests and drivers’ availability and embeds a novel two-phase optimization approach that helps in defining the optimal riders-drivers matching. The first phase consists o...

“Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed, but Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced”: A Response to Recent Commentaries

It can be smart to be dumb

An important problem in game theory is why bounded rationality occurs, e.g., why altruism to non-kin occurs. Previous explanations involved computational limitations of the players, repeated play among the players etc. As an alternative, we introduce a pre-play step in which each player i chooses a “persona”, i.e., a ficticious utility function she commits to use in the game. By adopting differ...
