Block Jacobi for discontinuous Galerkin discretizations: no ordinary Schwarz methods

For classical discretizations of elliptic partial differential equations, like conforming finite elements or finite differences, block Jacobi methods are equivalent to classical Schwarz methods with minimal overlap, see for example [4]. This is different when the linear system (1) is obtained using DG methods. Our paper is organized as follows: in section 2 we describe several DG methods for li...

The Housewife, the Single Girl, and the Prostitute: Constructions of Femininity in Postwar American Historiography

Rocuronium anaphylaxis in a 3-year-old girl with no previous exposure to neuromuscular blocking agents.

During the perioperative period, anaphylactic reactions rarely occur. Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are responsible for 60-70% of perioperative anaphylactic reactions. This case, we report a case of rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis in a 3-year-old girl with no previous exposure to NMBAs. This case cautions and informs practitioners that an IgE-mediated anaphylactic reaction with rocuroniu...
