The discovery of mirror neurons (e.g., Gallese et al., 1996) has reignited interest in theories that postulate a tight functional link between perception and action. According to these theories, perception and action share a common representational code, with actions coded in terms of the distal perceptual effects that they produce (Prinz, 1997). Accordingly, action representations should be ac...

In the Omega EP laser, the pulse must be stretched in time, amplified, and subsequently compressed in a grating compressor in order to obtain high peak power. A model was used to characterize the temporally resolved near-field and far-field beam distributions for several different compressor configurations that included grating alignment errors and grating surface figure errors. The spatio-temp...

We compute the Coifman-Meyer-Wickerhauser measure μ for certain families of quadrature mirror filters (QMFs), and we establish that for a subclass of QMFs, μ contains a fractal scale.

The mirror foot is a rare congenital foot anomaly which is often associated with 6- to 8-toed polydactyly. Postaxial polydactyly is the most common form of this anomaly, while central polydactyly is seen infrequently. We report on 2 cases of the central mirror-foot anomaly. Calcaneus duplication and fibular hypoplasia were present in 1 case. We treated both patients by resecting the middle foot...

Abstract Background This report outlines a nine-year follow-up of two 10-year-old patients who attended the paediatric dental department reporting an absent mandibular first permanent molar (FPM). Both reported no pain, familial history hypodontia and altered sensation in inferior (ID) nerve distribution. Clinical examination revealed expansion unerupted tooth area. Special Investigations Panor...
