Electron-impact ionization cross sections for diatomic molecules are calculated in a configuration-average distorted-wave method. Core bound orbitals for the molecular ion are calculated using a single-configuration self-consistent-field method based on a linear combination of Slater-type orbitals. The core bound orbitals are then transformed onto a two-dimensional r , numerical lattice from wh...

Chronic migraine (CM) is a common and disabling disorder that remains underdiagnosed and poorly treated. Significant unmet therapeutic needs add to the burden of this disorder; even when CM is recognized, effective treatment options are limited and randomized controlled trials supporting the use of various preventive medications are sparse. In this review, we discuss the available options for C...

An outstanding performance of randomized quasi-Monte Carlo methods for multidimensional integration problems in finance are widely appreciated. Many financial option pricing problems use quasirandom (vector) sequences to generate sample paths of the underlying asset price by summing up the transformed (usually by inverse normal distribution) components of each vector. In this paper we consider ...

Some aspects of activity of Croatian Society for Rheumatology of Croatian Medical Association are presented. It is founded in 1947 as Croatian Medical Association Section for Rheumatology, Balneoclimatology, and Physical Medicine. In 1967, the prevoius Section is divided in the two new ones: Rheumatology Section and Section for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. In 1992, Rheumatology Section...

Many people reason poorly, by almost any measure of reasoning. Although there is evidence that people can be taught to think critically, educators don’t really know how. They don’t know what works, what doesn’t, or why. This report describes the Monash Critical Thinking Study – a three year project to investigate the effectiveness of a number of teaching methods for improving critical thinking....

Conceptual level database design should be managed independently of its implementation. Therefore, once a conceptual level schema has been completed, some transformation methods must exist which can be used in the construction of an implementation level design supported by the target model (e.g., relational, object-oriented, network). This paper provides a method for the transformation of conce...
