In this work, the resealed mean spherical approximation (RMSA) for colloidal mixtures interacting via a DLVO-type potential is developed, and its application to suspensions of highly charged macroions is illustrated. For this purpose we introduce a simple scheme to solve the mean spherical approximation (MSA) for Yukawa mixtures with factorized coupling parameters. This scheme consists of the m...

For the production of smooth animation of flow simulation out of only several data steps many interpolated intermediate data steps are needed. Especially for the meteorological visualization of moving clouds for TV broadcasting purposes such interpolations are of high importance. The traditional method for the animation production is to fade one dataset out and to fade the next dataset in. The ...

An important issue in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is the verification of the monitor unit (MU) calculation of the planning system using an independent procedure. Because of the intensity modulation and the dynamic nature of the delivery process, the problem becomes much more involved than that in conventional radiation therapy. In this work, a closed formula for MU calculation ...

We give a general procedure for the calculation of the intersection Poincaré polynomial of the symplectic quotient M/K, of a symplectic manifold M by a hamiltonian group action of a compact Lie group K. The procedure mirrors that used by Kirwan for the calculation of the intersection Poincaré polynomial of a geometric invariant theory quotient of a nonsingular complex projective variety. That i...

INTRODUCTION Cognitive neuropsychology focuses on the concepts of dissociation and double dissociation. The performance of number processing and calculation tasks by patients with acquired brain injury can be used to characterise the way in which the healthy cognitive system manipulates number symbols and quantities. The objective of this study is to determine the components of the numerical pr...

BACKGROUND The current methodology for sample size calculations for stepped-wedge cluster randomised trials (SW-CRTs) is based on the assumption of equal cluster sizes. However, as is often the case in cluster randomised trials (CRTs), the clusters in SW-CRTs are likely to vary in size, which in other designs of CRT leads to a reduction in power. The effect of an imbalance in cluster size on th...

There is a certain family of conformally invariant first order elliptic systems which include the Dirac operator as its first and simplest member. Their general definition is given and some of their basic properties are described. A special attention is paid to the Rarita-Schwinger operator, the second simplest operator in the row. Its basic properties are described in more details. In the last...

OBJECTIVES To assess quality of reporting of sample size calculation, ascertain accuracy of calculations, and determine the relevance of assumptions made when calculating sample size in randomised controlled trials. DESIGN Review. DATA SOURCES We searched MEDLINE for all primary reports of two arm parallel group randomised controlled trials of superiority with a single primary outcome publi...

As the portion of coupling capacitance increases in smaller process geometries, accurate coupled noise analysis is becoming more important in current design methodologies. We propose a method to determine whether aggressors can potentially switch simultaneously with the victim or not. The functional information is used to classify the aggressors. Our functional pruning algorithm inspects the co...

All electrostimulation studies on arithmetic have so far solely reported general errors. Nonetheless, a classification of the errors during stimulation can inform us about underlying arithmetic processes. The present electrostimulation study was performed in a case of left parietal glioma. The patient's erroneous responses suggested that calculation was mainly applied for addition and a combina...
