This report concerns a case with unusual lesions consisting of massive destruction of myelinated fibres in a thin marginal layer at the surface of the spinal cord, brain-stem, optic nerve and tract, without involvement of the superficial portions of grey matter. The lesions showed a striking similarity to those produced by barbotage (aspiration and reinjection of cerebrospinal fluid) in experim...

We study the nonlinear dynamics of a quantum cascade laser (QCL) with a strong reinjection provided by the feedback from two external targets in a double cavity configuration. The nonlinear coupling of interferometric signals from the two targets allows us to propose a displacement sensor with nanometric resolution. The system exploits the ultra-stability of QCLs in self-mixing configuration to...

We study stationary periodic solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) model for complex spatiotemporal dynamics in the presence of an additional linear destabilizing term. In particular, we show the phase space origins of the previously observed stationary “viscous shocks” and related solutions. These arise in a reversible four-dimensional dynamical system as perturbed heteroclinic connection...

that a small dose of foreign albumin will cause the animal to suffer from fever, whose type will vary with the dosage, the intervals between the injections and the mode of giving these. But an animal may be rendered much more sensitive to the foreign albumin by giving it a very small dose and then delaying the reinjection for a period which varies according to the effect which it is desired to ...

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical processing of lipoaspirate (LA) is a commonly employed technique prior to reinjection for the purposes of lipofilling and skin rejuvenation. Our group has previously demonstrated that one form of mechanical processing, ‘nanofat grafting,’ results in a significant upregulation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers, adipose-derived stem (ADSCs) and endothelia...
