With recent advances in electronic structure methods, first-principles calculations of electronic response properties, such as linear and nonlinear polarizabilities, have become possible for molecules with more than 100 atoms. Basis set incompleteness is typically the main source of error in such calculations since traditional diffuse augmented basis sets are too costly to use or suffer from ne...

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma is characterized by thepresence of yellowish-orange plaques on the eyelids, neck, uppertrunk, buttocks and flexural surfaces of the extremities in patientswith a normal lipid profile. It mainly affects adults of both sexes.Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthomas are usually associatedwith reticuloendothelial system disorders, such a...

We use diffuse optical tomography to quantitatively reconstruct images of complex phantoms with millimeter sized features located centimeters deep within a highly-scattering medium. A non-contact instrument was employed to collect large data sets consisting of greater than 10(7) source-detector pairs. Images were reconstructed using a fast image reconstruction algorithm based on an analytic sol...

For aficionados of the epic, to be in London between the summer of 1964 and the winter of 1972 must have been very exhilarating. During that period the London Seminar on Epic convened 31 times to hear lectures on diverse epics from both nearby and remote cultures, delivered by specialists of these poetic narratives and their literary traditions. The 12 articles that constitute the present volum...

This paper asks how intercultural theology can inspire a critical and constructive reflection on the potential of non-confessional religious education (RE). Taking Norwegian RE subject as starting point, draws attention to tendency present religions, worldviews, denominations single entities with distinct characteristics. As emphasized by Jackson, Jones Meyer, others, systemic-oriented approach...

We address the problem of identifying a useful set of mutually compatible separation axioms for each category T-FNS of T-neighbourhood spaces. It should contain one of T-complete regularity that characterizes T-uniformizability, as indeed we achieve here. This seems to necessitate the parameterization of most separation axioms by the triangular norm T, with the exception of the two axioms T0 an...

When 60 years ago Shannon established “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” nobody could know the consequences for science and technology in the second half of the century. Shannon published his article in two parts in the July and October 1948 editions of the Bell System Technical Journal. However, it is very probable that this article wouldn’t have become famous without the help of Weaver,...

A 22 year old male referred with palpitation. General appearance and physical exam impressed us in that the patient has Marfan syndrome. Cardiac catheterization showed diffuse arterial ectasia. We found no previous report of this generalized diffuse ectasia.
