A 76 year old man with shaking movements of the fingers, weakness of the arm and lacunar infarctions on computed tomographic scan is described. The shaking limb should be included in the group of lacunar syndromes.

We present the first high-resolution N-Body/SPH simulations that follow the evolution of low surface brightness disk satellites in a primary halo containing both dark matter and a hot gas component. Tidal shocks turn the stellar disk into a spheroid with low v/σ and remove most of the outer dark and baryonic mass. In addition, by weakening the potential well of the dwarf tides enhance the effec...

[1] Using a model of a complex fault system, we examine the initiation, propagation, and termination of ruptures and their relationship to fault geometry and shaking hazard. We find concentrations of epicenters near fault step overs and ends; concentrations of terminations near fault ends; and persistent propagation directivity effects. Taking advantage of long sequences of dynamic events, we d...

Although India has a long written record, the shaking intensity of few damaging earthquakes that occurred before AD 1800, can be quantified. Since reliable estimates of future shaking near planned nuclear power plants depend on the extrapolation of historical earthquake data spanning many centuries, estimates of seismic risk to the planned Jaitapur nuclear power plant assessed from a short data...

This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm inspired by water flowing and shaking behaviors in a vessel. Water drops in our algorithm flow to the gradient descent direction and are sometimes shaken for getting out of local optimum areas when most water drops fall in local optimum areas. These flowing and shaking operations allow our algorithm to quickly approach to the global optimum wit...

Directions for pre-analytical handling of ampules of two commercially available aqueous quality-control products (contrlL and G.A.S.) contain vague instructions such as "store at room temperature" and "shake vigorously" before analysis. We examined the effect of different storage temperatures (25, 31, and 38 degrees C) and shaking rate (one, two, and four shakes per second) on pH and blood-gas ...
