objective: although there are some reports of reduction of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in manic episodes or its exacerbation during depressive episodes, this relationship has not been proved. method: clinical observations of six cases with co-morbidity of bipolar-i-disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder or symptoms. results: the cases presented here show heterogeneity and variety of the r...

neuroimaging. I laid out the critical prediction derived from load theory, namely that visual cortex responses to distractor stimuli should depend on the level of load in the attended task, in the same manner as I had shown in my behavioural studies. About a year later, following a departmental seminar, Chris introduced me to his PhD student saying: “Geraint, this is Nilli: we will be testing t...

Problem definition. We consider the classical scheduling problem of maximizing the minimum machine load on parallel machines. In this setting we are given a set of jobs J , a set of machines M to process the jobs and a processing time pj for each job j ∈ J . For a given assignment of jobs to machines, the load of a machine i is defined as the sum of the processing of jobs assigned to i. Our obj...

In this chapter I show that elementary math models reveal powerful insights that can help understand better design and management decisions in facility logistics operations. Subsequently I develop models for designing a truckoperated unit-load warehouse (sizing it, calculating the load orientation, and determining the warehouse lengthwidth ratio). Next the optimal stacking depth is calculated a...

Recent studies have suggested that dietary factors, specifically glycaemic load, may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and histological effects on acne lesions of a low glycaemic load diet. A total of 32 patients with mild to moderate acne were randomly assigned to either a low glycaemic load diet or a control group diet, and completed ...

OBJECTIVE Computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) and cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) both have demonstrated efficacy in alleviating social anxiety, but how they compare with each other has not been investigated. The present study tested the prediction that both interventions would reduce anxiety relative to a no-intervention comparison condition, but CBM-I would...

Load sharing among distributed generation systems (DGS) is one of the most important topics in wireless-enabled smart microgrids, where a set of power inverters at different geographical locations work coordinately and collaboratively through wireless networks to meet the load requirement. Parallel power inverters operated in distributed generation systems rely on the underlying wireless commun...

1 . Average power Let us consider the transmission of energy from a source to a load, through a given surface as in Fig. 1. In the network of Fig. 1, the voltage waveform v(t) (not necessarily sinusoidal) is given by the source, and the current waveform is determined by the response of the load. In the more general case in which the source output impedance is significant, then v(t) and i(t) bot...
