H ypokalemic paralysis can occur primarily as a result of an enhanced shift of potassium ions into cells or secondarily from excessive potassium loss. It typically involves proximal muscles in a symmetric fashion. We describe a patient with asymmetric distal weakness that turned out to be due to hypokalemia and responded to potassium replacement. A 65 year old gentleman woke up one morning to f...

During field weakening operation time (FWOT), the total iron loss rises and affects the accuracy of loss prediction and efficiency, especially if a large range of FWOT exists due to a large voltage drop that was rooted from the resistance of the used material. Iron loss prediction is widely employed in investigations for a fast electrical machine analysis using 2D finite element analysis (FEA)....

We report the first detection of a sharp spectral feature in a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy. Using XMM-Newton we have observed 1H 0707–495 and find a drop in flux by a factor of more than 2 at a rest-frame energy of ∼7 keV without any detectable narrow Fe Kα line emission. The energy of this feature suggests a connection with the neutral iron K photoelectric edge, but the lack of any obvious ab...

During field weakening operation time (FWOT), the total iron loss rises and affects the 11 accuracy of loss prediction and efficiency especially if a large range of FWOT exists due to a large 12 voltage drop which rooted from the resistance of the used material. Iron loss prediction is widely 13 employed in investigations for a fast electrical machine analysis using 2-D FEA. This paper proposes...

electrospinning is a method of nanofiber filter media production. by this method, it is possibleto produce media with nanofiber in the range of nanometer to micrometer. nanofibrous media provide a large specific surface area in a finite volume thus they are suitable for filtration applications. in this study, nanofiber non-woven membranes production of nylon-6 by electrospinning method is inves...

An anaemic baby is more susceptible to infection than the normal infant3' and this, is an important factor in the mortality rate of infants of subnormal birth weight. Lichtenstein6, from his extensive work with premature babies, concluded that these infants regularly become anaemic in the first months of life although they are not anaemic at birth. The average haemoglobin level of thirty-six pr...

The blackhole attack is one of the simplest yet effective attacks that target the AODV protocol. Blackhole attackers exploit AODV parameters in order to win route requests, and thus, attract traffic, which they subsequently capture and drop. However, the first part of the attack is often neglected in present literature, while the majority of attempts in detection focus only on the second part o...

The evidence base for computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) for common mental health problems has expanded rapidly in recent years. Reviews and meta-analyses have produced promising findings with regard to CCBT’s effectiveness and acceptability, but developing and supporting effective and sustainable models of CCBT service implementation remains a challenge. This paper considers CCB...

We prove that the zeros of the polynomials Pm(a) of degree m, defined by Borosh and Moll via Pm(a) = 2m+3/2 π (a + 1) Z ∞ 0 dx (x4 + 2ax2 + 1)m+1 , approach the lemniscate {ζ ∈ C : |ζ − 1| = 1, Rζ < 0}, as m diverges.

In the case of elastic interaction between dislocations and point defects, complex interaction mechanisms can appear, which involve simultaneously depinning-repinning processes and dragging processes.
