time. Modern film and contemporary cinema are doubtlessly permeated with Freud's discontented daughters; Bronfen would have strengthened her case by explaining why Hitchcock and Cronenberg are more performatively hysterical than his. Even so, "performing hysteria" has not often been the subject of interpretation so astute as found here, this despite medicine's awareness that the hysteric "perfo...

Conventional stone operations have decisively receded into the background due to modern methods of stone removal, e.g., extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and endoscopic stone removal. The disadvantages of these modern methods are discussed. Because there are no complications by the conventional technics, which are still practised, the technical details are also discussed. Prof. D. Hauri, Ur...

The design for a spherical Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) with a camera, called the Eyeball ROV due to motions similar to the human eye, is presented in this thesis. The ROV features an actuation scheme that utilizes a two-axis gimbal for changing the location of the center of mass of the ROV. This creates continuous and unlimited rotations in place on the part of the ROV, allowing the camera ...

The assembly of the sarcomere of cross-striated muscle involves a plethora of transcription factors, signalling and structural proteins and requires their coordinate interplay in order to construct this uniquely regular structure. Its early upregulation in muscle precursor cells during embryonic development and in activated satellite cells upon skeletal muscle damage render the protein Xin an i...

Lymphatic vascular system is a relatively rare focus of the modern cardiovascular research. In this context, the paper published by Greiwe et al. (2015)in this journal seems to represent a very important body of new evidence concerning the influence of different training regimens on lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel densities in skeletal muscles and myocardium. The lymphatic system has imp...

Preface The importance of the martingale concept cannot be overemphasized. .. . ] Martingales, Markov dependence and stationarity are the only three dependence concepts so far isolated which are suuciently general and suuciently amenable to investigation yet with a great number of deep properties. This project report deals with the stochastic calculus of semimartingales. In Doob's classical boo...

BACKGROUND Adolescents' problem behavior is considered as a syndrome and has been recognized in academic literature for a long time. Problem behavior consists of adolescents' harmful health habits and elements of psychological well-being. The frequent appearance of harmful health habits during adolescence might lead to problem behavior. Thus, problem behavior includes and describes the co-occur...

In this and previous issues, R. Baker and S. Smith has introduced the techniques of evolutionary computation and their application to nancial engineering. In this article, we would like to rst summarize a few major insights revealed in those two articles and then provide a roadmap for readers to initialize their own trails. First of all, why evolutionary computation? Where is the motivation? In...

Tlis book was written in an effort to simplify and condense the literature relating to reflexes. There are 465 references listed at the end of the book, and under the discussion of each reflex the literature is reviewed. An example of the effort to simplify the terminology used in naming reflexes is interesting. A diagram of the foot and ankle shows the places from which a tap with the reflex h...

Introduction The world we live in is continually changing. The images formed on the retina in vision are a sequence of varying, shifting intensities. In hearing, likewise changes in frequency and intensity are recognised to form the basis of our detecting the underlying structure of events in the world. Research in music perception has identified the significance of change in the segmentation o...
