Kindler Syndrome: 2 Case Reports from India

Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis. We report two cases of KS with classical clinical presentations involving skin and mucus membranes. Clinically, both patients had four major features of KS in the form of acral skin blistering, photosensitivity, progressive poikiloderma, and diffuse cutaneous atrophy. Case 1 had associated features in the form of urethral...

Ringing Js refinements

Both the four-point and the uniform cubic B-spline refinement (i.e. subdivision) schemes double the number of vertices of a closed-loop polygonal curve P and respectively produce sequences of vertices fk and bk. The Js refinement proposed here produces vertices vk=(1–s)fk+sbk. Iterative applications of Js yield a family of curves parameterized by s. It includes the four-point curve (J0), the un...

Listening for Ringing Black Holes

The gravitational radiation produced by binary black holes during their inspiral, merger, and ringdown phases is a promising candidate for detection by the first or second generation of kilometer-scale interferometric gravitational wave antennas. Waveforms for the last phase, the quasinormal ringing, are well understood. I discuss the feasibility of detection of the quasinormal ringing of a bla...
