A method for constructing Whitney forms is proposed, which applies to tetrahedra, hexahedra, triangular prisms, and pyramids in a similar way, and proceeds from a unique generating principle, thus unifying their presentation. The principle automatically enforces conformity (i.e., “tangential” or “normal continuity” of the elementary proxy fields) at element interfaces, and generates a complex o...

Over the past four decades, gastro retentive dosage forms have recently become a leading methodology in the field of site-specific orally administered controlled release drug delivery system.. Gastroretentive dosage forms have the potential to improve local therapy with an increase of short gastric residence time and unpredictable gastric emptying time and decrease the variation in bioavailabil...

ÐAs object-relational databases (ORDBs) become popular in the industry, it is important for database designers to produce database schemes with good properties in these new kinds of databases. One distinguishing feature of an ORDB is that its tables may not be in first normal form. Hence, ORDBs may contain nested relations along with other collection types. To help the design process of an ORDB...

made in it are clear, and a definite plan of instruction is carefully followed. It will give to the student a very good general idea of the causes, signs, and treatment of intraabdominal suppuration. The title is, however, rather misleading, for the first 56 out of the 91 pages are devoted to the consideration of appendicitis in its various forms?suppurative and non-suppurative. A better title ...

We describe a multimodal dataset acquired in a controlled experiment on a driving simulator. The set includes data for n=68 volunteers that drove the same highway under four different conditions: No distraction, cognitive distraction, emotional distraction, and sensorimotor distraction. The experiment closed with a special driving session, where all subjects experienced a startle stimulus in th...
