H ypokalemic paralysis can occur primarily as a result of an enhanced shift of potassium ions into cells or secondarily from excessive potassium loss. It typically involves proximal muscles in a symmetric fashion. We describe a patient with asymmetric distal weakness that turned out to be due to hypokalemia and responded to potassium replacement. A 65 year old gentleman woke up one morning to f...

electrospinning is a method of nanofiber filter media production. by this method, it is possibleto produce media with nanofiber in the range of nanometer to micrometer. nanofibrous media provide a large specific surface area in a finite volume thus they are suitable for filtration applications. in this study, nanofiber non-woven membranes production of nylon-6 by electrospinning method is inves...

The blackhole attack is one of the simplest yet effective attacks that target the AODV protocol. Blackhole attackers exploit AODV parameters in order to win route requests, and thus, attract traffic, which they subsequently capture and drop. However, the first part of the attack is often neglected in present literature, while the majority of attempts in detection focus only on the second part o...

The evidence base for computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) for common mental health problems has expanded rapidly in recent years. Reviews and meta-analyses have produced promising findings with regard to CCBT’s effectiveness and acceptability, but developing and supporting effective and sustainable models of CCBT service implementation remains a challenge. This paper considers CCB...

We prove that the zeros of the polynomials Pm(a) of degree m, defined by Borosh and Moll via Pm(a) = 2m+3/2 π (a + 1) Z ∞ 0 dx (x4 + 2ax2 + 1)m+1 , approach the lemniscate {ζ ∈ C : |ζ − 1| = 1, Rζ < 0}, as m diverges.

In the case of elastic interaction between dislocations and point defects, complex interaction mechanisms can appear, which involve simultaneously depinning-repinning processes and dragging processes.

in order to simulate the rotating disk contactor all hydrodynamic parameters, dispersed phase hold-up, characteristic velocity, mean drop size, drop size distribution, axial mixing and mass transfer have been taken into account. mechanisms of mass transfer (stagnant, circulating, oscillating drops) were used in this study. column height found from effect of mean drop size and drop size distribu...

Geometrically, the theorem states that if a variety U/k becomes birationally equivalent to an Abelian variety over the algebraic closure of k, then it is birationally equivalent to an Abelian variety over k. (If k is a field with a discrete valuation, and ir is a prime element, then the curve defined by the equation X" + 7rY" + 7r2Zn = 0, with n = 3, shows that the conclusion of the theorem doe...

When two objects are presented in rapid succession, observers find it difficult to discriminate their temporal order. Below certain limit (e.g., 20-70 ms), the rate of correct temporal order judgement is reported to be about 50% (i.e., close to chance level). However we have found stimulus conditions where order discrimination drops significantly below chance level: the stimulus that is present...
