In the article “Selective Activation of Resting-State Networks following Focal Stimulation in a Connectome-Based Network Model of the Human Brain” by Andreas Spiegler, Enrique C. A. Hansen, Christophe Bernard, Anthony R. McIntosh, and Viktor K. Jirsa, which appeared in e0068-16.2016 of the September/October 2016 issue, the authors regret an error in the affiliation of Andreas Spiegler, Enrique ...

From a rational convex polytope of dimension r ≥ 2 J.P. Hansen constructed an error correcting code of length n = (q−1)r over the finite field Fq. A rational convex polytope is the same datum as a normal toric variety and a Cartier divisor. The code is obtained evaluating rational functions of the toric variety defined by the polytope at the algebraic torus, and it is an evaluation code in the ...

Segmental necrotizing granulomatous neuritis (SNGN) is a rare condition affecting the nerves of Hansen disease patients. This is usually seen as a complication in association with the skin lesions of Hansen disease. Though very rare, it can also be the first presenting symptom of pure neuritic leprosy. We hereby report 2 cases of SNGN-one case of pure neuritic leprosy with initial presentation ...

Lauge-Hansen Classification and Weber’s classification The Lauge-Hansen classification system is based on a rotational mechanism was applied to the ankle in one of three different directions. For a given foot position and deforming force at the ankle, a consistently reproducible pattern of osseous and ligamentous injury was described. The first part of the name in the classification system desc...

We develop a specification test and a sequence of model selection procedures for nonnested, overlapping, and nested models based on the second Hansen-Jagannathan distance, which requires a good asset pricing model to not only have small pricing errors but also be arbitrage free. Our methods have reasonably good finite sample performances and are more powerful than existing ones in detecting mis...
