Middle cerebral artery dissection (MCAD) is a rare cause for ischemic stroke and is often associated with headache and hemispheric symptoms. In the present report, limb shaking is found to be a major symptom of spontaneous MCAD in a young male. The diagnosis of MCAD is based on the intramural hematoma directly visualized in MR T2-weighted images and supported by serial evolution of transcranial...

In this study, shaking table tests are performed to investigate the behavior of excess pore water pressure in different soft soil-foundations of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system. The variation of the behaviors under cycled minor shock is observed. Moreover, The generation and variation mechanism of excess pore water pressure under earthquake excitation in different soft soilfoundations a...

We show that weakly bound molecules can be probed by "shaking" in a pulsed nonresonant laser field. The field introduces a centrifugal term which expels the highest vibrational level from the potential that binds it. Our numerical simulations applied to the Rb(2) and KRb Feshbach molecules indicate that shaking by feasible laser pulses can be used to accurately recover the square of the vibrati...

Over the past three years 15 children have been admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Addenbrooke's hospital suspected of having non-accidental injuries; presentation was diverse and often mild and out of proportion to the degree of morbidity seen at discharge and follow up. When compared with a group of similar aged children admitted to the PICU with severe head injury cause...

Shaken baby syndrome is the most common cause of death or serious neurological injury resulting from child abuse. It is specific to infancy, when children have unique anatomic features. Subdural and retinal haemorrhages are markers of shaking injury. An American radiologist, John Caffey, coined the name whiplash shaken infant syndrome in 1974. It was, however, a British neurosurgeon, Guthkelch ...

this study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (ree) recoveries from iron mine waste. the electron microprobe showed that high amoun...

Honeybee Apis mellifera swarms form clusters made solely of bees attached to each other, forming pendant structures on tree branches (1). These clusters can be hundreds of times the size of a single organism. How these structures are stably maintained under the influence of static gravity and dynamic stimuli (e.g. wind) is unknown. To address this, we created pendant conical clusters attached t...

Visually-guided locomotion is important for autonomous robotics. However, there are several difficulties, for instance, the robot locomotion induces head shaking that constraints stable image acquisition and the possibility to rely on that information to act accordingly. In this work, we propose a combined approach based on a controller architecture that is able to generate locomotion for a qua...

Recent studies have highlighted the potential benefits of inelastic foundation response during seismic shaking. According to an emerging seismic design scheme, termed rocking isolation, the foundation is intentionally under-designed to promote rocking and limit the inertia transmitted to the structure. Such reversal of capacity design may improve the seismic performance, drastically increasing ...

This work exposes some observations on "shaking vowels". These vowels containing a tremolo-like sound are present in amused speech. Some of the temporal and spectral patterns are exposed and observations are given concerning them. This work is a preliminary step towards being able to use these "shaking vowels" along with speech-smiles, speechlaughs and laughter to control the degree of amusemen...
