Motion area V5/MT+ shows a variety of characteristic visual responses, often linked to perception, which are heavily influenced by its rich connectivity with the primary visual cortex (V1). This human motion area also receives a number of inputs from other visual regions, including direct subcortical connections and callosal connections with the contralateral hemisphere. Little is currently kno...

(4) Consider the point y = (1/2, 0, 0) ∈ Ω. Is y an interior point of Ω? Characterize all the feasible directions e = (e1, e2, e3) ∈ R at y (a picture could help). Is y a (strict) local maximizer of f? (5) Consider the point z = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) ∈ Ω. Is z an interior point of Ω? Characterize all the feasible directions e = (e1, e2, e3) ∈ R at z. Is z a (strict) local maximizer of f? What is the ...

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important pathogens in intensive care units related to morbidity and mortality. Colistin is being used increasingly as “salvage” therapy for these patients. However, resistance to colistin in A. baumannii has recently been reported. We herein present a case in which ventilator-associated pneumonia due to A. baumannii developed in on...
