The International 10/20 system is an important head-surface-based positioning system for transcranial brain mapping techniques, e.g., fNIRS and TMS. As guidance for probe placement, the 10/20 system permits both proper ROI coverage and spatial consistency among multiple subjects and experiments in a MRI-free context. However, the traditional manual approach to the identification of 10/20 landma...

• To propose a direct and “elementary” proof of the main result of [3], namely that the semi-classical spectrum near a global minimum of the classical Hamiltonian determines the whole semi-classical Birkhoff normal form (denoted the BNF) in the non-resonant case. I believe however that the method used in [3] (trace formulas) are more general and can be applied to any non degenerate non resonant...

Adaptive solution techniques are presented for simulating underwater explosions and implosions. The liquid is assumed to be an adiabatic fluid and the solution in the gas is assumed to be uniform in space. The solution in the water is integrated in time using a semi-implicit time discretization of the adiabatic Euler equations. Results are presented either using a non-conservative semi-implicit...

Each closed oriented 3-manifoldM is naturally associated with a set of integersD(M), the degrees of all self-maps on M . D(M) is determined for each torus bundle and torus semi-bundle M . The structure of torus semi-bundle is studied in detail. The paper is a part of a project to determine D(M) for all 3-manifolds in Thurston’s picture.

Our aim is to analyse the differences in the prevalence of premenstrual asthma (PMA) according to a set of criteria, the relationship between them and the influence of asthma severity. The answer "Yes" to "Does your asthma get worse before menstruation?" was considered subjective PMA. A daily respiratory symptoms register of fertile asthmatic females was taken during two consecutive menstrual c...

An improved treatment of advection is essential for atmospheric transport and chemistry models. Eulerian treatments are generally plagued with instabilities, unrealistic negative constituent values, diffusion, and dispersion errors. A higher-order Eulerian model improves one error at significant cost but magnifies another error. The cost of semi-Lagrangian models is too high for many applicatio...

Introduction: Infants born with congenital anomalies demand individualized nutritional evaluations and recommendations. The anatomical changes of neonatal surgical diseases create specific physiological constraints.Patients with different congenital anomalies have different nutritional support needs. It is essential to know the exact physiology of these anomalies in order to be able to manage a...

Introduction: Childhood obesity is a growing global health problem, but in the view of medical ethics, obesity management in children is associated with challenges. Method and materials: This study is a comprehensive review in English (Cochrane Library, and PubMed) and Persian literature which pointed to the ethical aspects of pediatrics obesity management with content analysis. Results: In t...
