The relationship between arousal, perception, and visual neglect was examined in this case study. Cold pressor stimulation (CPS: immersing the foot in iced water) was used to manipulate arousal and to determine its effects on contralesional neglect, perception of stimulus intensity (magnitude estimation), reaction time, and an electrophysiological correlate of ascending reticular activating sys...

Botanical evidence indicates that India and China were among the first countries to cultivate tea. Although the English are known for their love of tea, American...

OBJECTIVES Therapeutic hypothermia (32-34 degrees C) is recommended for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest; however, the optimal technique for cooling is unknown. We aimed to compare therapeutic hypothermia using either surface or endovascular techniques in terms of efficacy, complications and outcome. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Thirty-bed teaching hospital intensive care ...

The Alps have historically been crossed by populations moving between northern and southern Europe for various purposes. Testimonies of such human presence were long preserved from decomposition being covered protected perennial ice snow. However, with ongoing climate change, large portion these permanent snowed frozen areas are freed up exposing artifacts to rapid deterioration. Consequently, ...

This work involved analyzing the self-excited and forced vibrations of iced transmission lines. By introducing an external excitation load, effect dynamic wind on nonlinear vibration equations was reflected by vertical aerodynamic force. The approximate analytic solution non-resonance forced-self-excited system obtained using multiple scale method. With increase in amplitude, nonlinearity enhan...
