There is one concept in medicine which is prominent, the symptom. The omnipresence of the symptom seems, however, not to be reflected by an equally prominent curiosity aimed at investigating this concept as a phenomenon. In classic, traditional or conventional medical diagnostics and treatment, the lack of distinction with respect to the symptom represents a minor problem. Faced with enigmatic ...

Annals of Ibadan Postgraduate Medicine. Vol. 14 No. 2, December 2016 56 Prior to the beginning of the 20th Century, infectious diseases accounted for high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The average life expectancy at birth was 47 years (46 and 48 years for men and women respectively) even in the industrialized world. Infectious diseases such as smallpox, cholera, diphtheria, pneumonia, typh...

We discuss a three-dimensional soft quantum waveguide, in other words, Schr\"odinger operator $\R^3$ with an attractive potential supported by infinite tube and keeping its transverse profile fixed. show that if the is asymptotically straight, distance between ends unbounded, twist satisfies so-called Tang condition, esential spectrum not affected smooth bends. Furthermore, we derive sufficient...

Motivated by diverse phenomena in cellular biophysics, including bacterial flagellar motion and DNA transcription and replication, we study the overdamped nonlinear dynamics of a rotationally forced filament with twist and bend elasticity. Competition between twist injection, twist diffusion, and writhing instabilities is described by coupled PDEs for twist and bend evolution. Analytical and nu...

We present the first systematic study of higher-twist light-cone distribution amplitudes of the nucleon in QCD. We find that the valence three-quark state is described at small transverse separations by eight independent distribution amplitudes. One of them is leading twist-3, three distributions are twist-4 and twist-5, respectively, and one is twist-6. A complete set of distribution amplitude...

Geometrical error due to twist springback is one of major defects found in the near net or net shape part. It becomes more critical for complex part such as an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) propeller blade. In this study, twist springback was quantified by comparing the blade and the die profiles obtained from commercial optical technique namely Alicona system. The results show a differen...

Motivated by diverse phenomena in cellular biophysics, including bacterial flagellar motion and DNA transcription and replication, we study the overdamped nonlinear dynamics of a rotationally forced filament with twist and bend elasticity. Competition between twist injection, twist diffusion, and writhing instabilities is described by a novel pair of coupled PDEs for twist and bend evolution. A...

A general theory for perturbations of an integrable planar map with a separatrix to a hyperbolic xed point has been developed in a previous lecture The splitting of the perturbed invariant curves was measured in rst order with respect to the parameter of perturbation by means of a periodic Melnikov function M de ned on the unperturbed separatrix In the case of planar twist maps M has zero mean ...

Academic pursuits are inseparable from the medium within which they take place - life. The lives of medical trainees can present many challenges that are independent of academic demands. Poor psychological health has been found to develop in medical trainees. Can medical educators minimize this decline in well-being? Positive education - learning skills for traditional academia and to foster ha...
