There is a paucity of research which has investigated social cognition in epilepsy, this is surprising given the abundance of evidence that exists in relation to the difficulties that people with epilepsy (PWE) have in relation to social functioning (McCagh et al., 2009). The study of social cognition in epilepsy will lead to a greater understanding of the social cognitive deficits of the epile...

This transparent cell transport service allows migration of ATM services to a PSN without having to provision the ATM subscriber or customer edge (CE) devices. The ATM CEs will view the ATM transparent cell transport service as if they were directly connected via a Time Division Multiplexer (TDM) leased line. This service is most likely to be used as an internal function in an ATM service provi...

Vibration attenuation to horizontal propagating waves by using periodic foundations is investigation. Periodic structure theory is introduced to design a new type of isolation foundations, which has a special frequency band gaps (or ‘attenuation zones’) that can barrier waves/vibrations propagation. Materials usually used in civil engineering are used to fabric periodic foundations with the uni...

In this paper we present a fast and efficient method to find partial weight enumerator (PWE) for binary linear block codes by using the error impulse technique and Monte Carlo method. This PWE can be used to compute an upper bound of the error probability for the soft decision maximum likelihood decoder (MLD). As application of this method we give partial weight enumerators and analytical perfo...

The variation of reflected energy with temperature in polymer waveguide on silicon substrate is presented in this paper. To compute reflected energy from polymer waveguide structure, reflectance from such waveguide is simulated using plane wave expansion method. Simulation result revealed that reflectances as well as reflected energies vary linearly with respect to temperature, which leads to a...

A novel technique to accelerate the aggregation and disaggregation stages in evanescent plane wave methods is presented. The new method calculates the six plane wave radiation patterns from a multipole expansion (aggregation) and calculates the multipole expansion of an incoming field from the six plane wave incoming field patterns. It is faster than the direct approach for multipole orders lar...

The calculation of absolute total cross sections requires accurate wave functions of the photoelectron and of the initial and final states of the system. The essential information contained in the latter two can be condensed into a Dyson orbital. We employ correlated Dyson orbitals and test approximate treatments of the photoelectron wave function, that is, plane and Coulomb waves, by comparing...

We present the interface diffraction method (IDM), an efficient technique to determine the response of planar photonic crystal waveguides and couplers containing arbitrary defects. Field profiles in separate regions of a structure are represented through two contrasting approaches: the plane wave expansion method in the cladding and a scattering matrix method in the core. These results are comb...
