We consider the cylindrical bending problem for an infinite plate as modeled with a family of generalized continuum models, including micromorphic approach. The models allow to describe length scale effects in sense that thinner specimens are comparatively stiffer. provide analytical solution each case and exhibits predicted stiffness. relaxed shows bounded stiffness arbitrary thin specimens, w...

Seizures are a symptom and not a disease. A seizure is the result of an abnormal electrical discharge of a collection or group of living but damaged or abnormal neurons. When the group of neurons is in the cerebral cortex, a focal or partial seizure occurs , producing abnormal activity related to that part of the brain. The victim may experience a focal jerking or focal numbness, or flashing li...

Various kinds of nonseparating subcontinua were studied by a number of authors, see, for example, the expository paper [2], where a large amount of information on this subject is given. In the topological literature, or in continuum theory (to be more precise), the term “terminal,” when applied either to subcontinua of a given continuum or to points, and the same name “terminal” was assigned to...

INTRODUCTION The paper presents a new multiscale framework that is both mathematically rigorous and practical in the sense that it has been successfully applied in aerospace, automotive and civil engineering industries. The “rigor” aspect of the method is provided by recently developed computational continua (C) formulation (Fish and Kuznetsov, 2009), which is endowed with fine-scale details, i...

Hemicrania continua (HC) is a primary headache disorder that is characterized by a continuous unilateral headache of moderate severity, exacerbations of severe pain, and complete responsiveness to indomethacin. Misdiagnosis of HC is probably common in general neurology settings and other clinical specialties. This paper is an attempt to bridge the gap between the correct and misdiagnosis of thi...

Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease that classically affects skin and joints and is associated with numerous comorbidities. There are several clinical subtypes of psoriasis including the uncommon pustular variants, which are subdivided into generalized and localized forms. Generalized forms of pustular psoriasis include acute generalized pustular psoriasis, pustular psoriasis o...

BACKGROUND To examine the application of continuum models to tuberculosis, HIV, and other conditions; to theorize the concept of continua; and to learn lessons that could inform the development of improved care and prevention continua as public health metrics. METHODS An analytic review of literature drawn from several fields of health care. RESULTS The continuum construct is now part of pu...
