Vicious Circles in Disease

Hypohidrosis plays a crucial role in the vicious circle of bathing suit ichthyosis: a case with summer exacerbation.

© 2014 The Authors. doi: 10.2340/00015555-1739 Journal Compilation © 2014 Acta Dermato-Venereologica. ISSN 0001-5555 Bathing suit ichthyosis (BSI) is a rare variant of autosomal recessive lamellar ichthyosis (LI). In 2005, Jacyk first reported 13 cases of LI that presented with the characteristic distribution of lesions on the trunk but usually sparing the extremities and the central face (1). ...

Vicious Circles in Rewriting Systems

We continue our study of the difference between Weak Normalisation (WN) and Strong Normalisation (SN). We extend our earlier result that orthogonal TRSs with the property WN do not admit cyclic reductions, into three distinct directions: (i) to the higher-order case, where terms may contain bound variables, (ii) to the weakly orthogonal case, where rules may have (trivial) conflicts, and (iii) ...

Families of Vicious Walkers

We consider a generalisation of the vicious walker problem in which N random walkers in R are grouped into p families. Using field-theoretic renormalisation group methods we calculate the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that no pairs of walkers from different families have met up to time t. For d > 2, this is constant, but for d < 2 it decays as a power t, which we compute to O(ε) in an...

Vicious Chronicles of Virology

Presented in this article, aimed at both the virologists and non-virologists among the readers, are the dark episodes of virology. These anecdotes overshadow, in comparison, the effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb explosions, both in impact and magnitude. Needless-tosay, the episodes listed here involve viruses and may represent re-recording of largest outbreaks of some viral infectio...
