Prader-Willi syndrome is a mental retardation genetic disorder also characterized by hypogonadism, hyperphagia and obesity. We report on a four-years-old boy, born to consanguineous parents, with uncommon co-occurrence of Prader-Willi syndrome, 47,XXY karyotype (Klinefelter syndrome) and coronal craniosynostosis. These are different unrelated conditions and it was not described before in the sa...

 Many efficient interior-point methods (IPMs) are based on the use of a self-concordant barrier function for the domain of the problem that has to be solved. Recently, a wide class of new barrier functions has been introduced in which the functions are not self-concordant, but despite this fact give rise to efficient IPMs. Here, we introduce the notion of locally self-concordant barrier functio...

We develop a new method for the determination of the absolute value of the magnetic field strength in coronal closed magnetic structures, based on the analysis of flare-generated oscillations of coronal loops. Interpretation of the oscillations observed in terms of global standing kink waves allows to connect the period of the oscillations and the loops length with the magnetic field strength i...

Coronal seismology, a new field of solar physics that emerged over the last 5 years, provides unique information on basic physical properties of the solar corona. The inhomogeneous coronal plasma supports a variety of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) wave modes, which manifest themselves as standing waves (MHD oscillations) and propagating waves. Here, we briefly review the physical properties of obs...

Introduction: Horizontal root fracture (HRF) generally has a good prognosis of healing at fracture line after repositioning and flexible splinting. However, various factors such as delayed referral may unfavorably influence close reduction of firmly displaced coronal fragments and the long-term prognosis of healing at fracture line. Case 1: A 25-year-old woman with HRF in her maxillary central ...

introduction: ca(oh) 2 -containing/forming materials are conventionally used for indirect pulp-capping and are theoretically able to release ca 2+ and oh - ions for hydrolytic dissociation. however, no evidence exists for ion diffusion through the remaining coronal dentin. the aim of this study was to design an innovative experimental set-up to test the ability of ca(oh) 2 -containing and ca(oh...

introduction: mandibular fracture is the most common facial bone fracture due to facial trauma. a variety of imagings have been used for diagnosis of mandibular fractures. however, the choice of imaging for diagnosis of mandibular fractures is controversial.present study compares the accuracy of the three most common imaging methods in mandibular fracture diagnosis panoramic radiography, corona...

in this research work, alpha particle detector is made using semi-insulating gaas. a surface barrier detector with a semi-insulating gaas substrate at room temperature with pressure of 10-4 torr under -particle radiation with 5.48 mev of am241 source, have been under investigation. energy resolution of 2 and 3 mm schottky diameter have been matured and compared with the effect of voltage varia...

solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the extreme ultra-violet coronal eruptions. here, sequences of 171_a images taken by solar dynamic observatory/atmospheric imaging assembaly on 13 june 2010 are used. in this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. the average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...
