The influence of ipsilesional tactile and visual stimuli on the ability to detect contralesional tactile stimuli was investigated in eight right brain damaged patients (RBD) with tactile extinction and in eight healthy subjects by delivering a series of single and double stimuli. Double stimuli were unimodal (tactile or visual) or cross-modal (tactile and visual) and could be delivered simultan...

The proposed high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider is expected to increase the instantaneous luminosity at the experiments' interaction points by a factor of ten. The vertex detector will be the subsystem most affected by the luminosity increase, raising substantially their occupancy and radiation-induced damage. To preserve the vertex physics performance under these new conditio...

Traditionally in double auctions, offers are cleared at the equilibrium price. In this paper, we introduce a novel, non-recursive, matching algorithm for double auctions, which aims to maximize the amount of commodities to be traded. Our algorithm has lower time and space complexities than existing algorithms.

A novel two-sided Bitter decoration technique was recently employed by Yao et al. to study the structure of the magnetic vortex array in high-temperature superconductors. Here we discuss the analysis of such experiments. We show that two-sided decorations can be used to infer quantitative information about the bulk properties of flux arrays, and discuss how a least squares analysis of the local...

In [3] it was shown that the One sided Dyck is uniquely ergodic with respect to the one sided-tail relation, where the tail invariant probability is also shift invariant and obtains the topological entropy. In this paper we show that the two sided Dyck has a double-tail invariant probability, which is also shift invariant, with entropy strictly less than the topological entropy.

A new concept of gecko-inspired double-sided adhesives (DSAs) is presented. The DSAs, constructed by dual-angled (i.e. angled base and angled tip) micro-pillars on both sides of the backplane substrate, are fabricated by combinations of angled etching, mould replication, tip modification, and curing bonding. Two types of DSA, symmetric and antisymmetric (i.e. pillars are patterned symmetrically...
