Patients with pectus carinatum are at risk for a disturbed body image and reduced quality of life. Until recently, treatment required surgical reconstruction. A growing body of literature, however, now supports the use of orthotic bracing as a nonoperative alternative in select patients. This article reviews the current literature and describes the evaluation and management of children with pec...

In the past lecture we introduced 3-player variants of both the CHSH and Magic Square games. These have the property that, even though from the point of view of classical players the new games are exactly as hard as the 2-player variants (ω(CHSH2) = ω(CHSH3) and ω(MS2) = ω(MS3)), for quantum players the 3-player variants proved much more challenging: we showed ω∗(CHSH3) = ω(CHSH3) < ω∗(CHSH2) a...

nature which gave to Thompson's work a value of its own. But not less necessary for this work, upon which Thompson and the Society were alike engaged, was his ability to consider his subject from every view-point; to state in exact proportion the evidence which told in favour of, or against, a hypothesis that had to be examined. There has passed into the hands of the Societ}' an unfinished piec...

1916), believed that whitening of hair was related to pigment absorbed and carried away by phagocytes he observed in the vicinity of dystrophic hair follicles and called 'pigmentophages' [9]. In 1981, Guin et al. [10] reported a lady whose hair turned white over 3 months with hair thinning but no patches of alopecia. Immu-nofluorescence studies demonstrated immune deposits along the follicular ...

We show that a certain orbit category considered by Keller encodes the combinatorics of the m-clusters of Fomin and Reading in a fashion similar to the way the cluster category of Buan, Marsh, Reineke, Reiten, and Todorov encodes the combinatorics of the clusters of Fomin and Zelevinsky. This allows us to give type-uniform proofs of certain results of Fomin and Reading in the simply laced cases...

Over the past few decades, preclinical research on stroke has led to tremendous progress in our basic understanding of the pathophysiological events that follow focal cerebral ischemia. Numerous cellular and molecular targets have been identified for brain protective and restorative therapies, and many of these are highly effective in rodents. The incidence and morbidity and mortality of stroke...
