Intraoperative awareness, with or without recall, continues to be a topic of clinical significance and neurobiological interest. In this article, we review evidence pertaining to the incidence, sequelae, and prevention of intraoperative awareness. We also assess which aspects of the complication are well understood (i.e. non-controversial) and which require further research for clarification (i...

This paper introduces a hybrid scheme for simulating rigid bodies in contact. W e use (cm adaptive strategy for handling two different contact situations, 'bouncing' and 'steady'. To handle contact f o r rigid bodies, we use two impulse-based methods to explicitiy or implicitly compute impulses due to collision impact. These two methods are used so that different impulse methods are applied ada...

There remains considerable discontent between globalization scholars about how to conceptualize its meaning and in regards to epistemological and methodological questions concerning how we can come to understand how these processes ultimately operate, intersect and transform our lives. This article argues that to better understand what globalization is and how it affects issues such as global h...

Using the KOF data at the annual level, we construct ten different composite indices for comparing the extent of globalization of 131 countries for eleven years, 1999-2009. We compare the different indices of globalization among themselves and also with the Dreher-KOF index of globalization and find that among the different indices the Dreher-Chebyshev index is the most representative one. Amon...
