We present the results of 3-dimensional simulations of the direct collapse to a black hole of a rotating, 60M⊙, zero metallicity, population III star. Because the structure of this star (angular momentum, density and temperature profiles) is similar to many collapsar gamma-ray burst progenitors, these calculations have implications beyond the fate of population III stars. These simulations prov...

I have had only few major ‘‘eureka’’ moments in my life. One of them was when I realised the difference between ordinary linear thinking and systems thinking. Since then I have spent quite a lot of my time teaching systems thinking in one form or another to doctors, psychologists, educators and others. Sometimes people can be turned off by the word systems because it sounds so mechanical, but o...

OBJECTIVES Neglect in vertical and radial directions is rarely evaluated systematically in patients with brain damage. METHOD AND RESULTS Using the line bisection task, we confirmed that some patients with unilateral brain damage manifest vertical or radial spatial neglect. In fact, patients with severe left horizontal neglect tend to have severe vertical neglect. CONCLUSION Because vertica...

Three Dimensions of Scheduling by Frank Bellosa The research presented in this dissertation has concentrated on the gathering and usage of memory access patterns in the area of user-level as well as kernel-level scheduling, yet covering both time-sharing and real-time aspects. Beside the questions when a task has to be executed and which CPU should be used, the freedom of scheduling is enlarged...

Background As assisted reproductive technology is advancing, it should arrange all principles and indexes to improve its quality of functions to provide optimal services to infertile patients. There are few infertility care-specific quality indicators. The indicators were developed by the existing quality dimensions. Safety, effectiveness, and patient centeredness are the most important quality...
