Commentary The ILAE has redefined epilepsy: epilepsy is a disease of the brain causing at least two unprovoked or reflex seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart or after one seizure if risks of recurrence are " high " (>60%). Conversely—and making a change that carries significant implications—they also now define epilepsy as " resolved " if an individual has outgrown their age-dependent sy...

People apply the term ‘the green economy’, to a wide range of activities – everything from cleantech and renewables, to job creation, and public policy. However, the fact remains that there is no standard definition of the green economy. Consequently it is difficult to measure performance and assess progress. Moreover, the narrow approach of defining some economic sectors as ‘green’ and others ...

Lastly, present historical background Turkish Military Coups during Republican era Turkey, February 28 Coup context society. The objective this paper is to an analysis resultant U.S.A., understand version its effects on a...

Purpose. In this work, a novel descriptor of atoms in molecules is introduced. The Refractotopological State Index for atoms (R-state,R ), rectifies the atomic refractivity values reported by Crippen et al with the atomic refractivity values of the topological environment of each skeletal atom in the molecule. Method. The R-state (R i), for atom i is an hybrid index that is defined as the intri...

A generally agreed upon requirement for correctness of concurrent executions in Transactional Memory is that all transactions including the aborted ones read consistent values. Opacity is a recently proposed correctness criterion that satisfies the above requirement. Our first contribution in this paper is extending the opacity definition for closed nested transactions. Secondly, we define a re...

In the literature, the matchings between spacetimes have been most of the times implicitly assumed to preserve some of the symmetries of the problem involved. But no definition for this kind of matching was given until recently. Loosely speaking, the matching hypersurface is restricted to be tangent to the orbits of a desired local group of symmetries admitted at both sides of the matching and ...

Environmental noise (e.g. heat, ionized particles, etc.) causes transient faults in hardware, which lead to corruption of stored values. Mission-critical devices require such faults to be mitigated by fault-tolerance – a combination of techniques that aim at preserving the functional behaviour of a system despite the disruptive effects of transient faults. Fault-tolerance typically has a high d...

An understanding of community development in resource-based areas must begin with an awareness of what a community is and how it develops. In this article I provide a conceptual foundation for operational definitions of community and community development. The proposed working definitions are grounded in sociological theory and empirical research. This endeavor is timely since so much of our so...

as we know, at the course of history of thought the definition of religion has been always a significant dilemma and each thinker or philosopher of religion had inclination to present an accurate definition of religion. in spite of these attempts, there has been no consentaneous definition of religion up to now. difficulty of the definition of religion has several reasons that in this article s...
