Case presentation: We describe the case of a previously healthy girl who, at 6 years age, initiates difficult-to-control epilepsy associated with agitation and aggressiveness. At age 9, she already showed school difficulties, infantilization, dependence for daily activities signs dementia. The neuroimaging that was initially normal 11 cerebellar atrophy small frontal to left subcortical focus l...

This paper describes sharp inequalities for the trace of Sobolev functions on the boundary of a bounded region Ω ⊂ R . The inequalities bound (semi-)norms of the boundary trace by certain norms of the function and its gradient on the region and two specific constants kρ and kΩ associated with the domain and a weight function. These inequalities are sharp in that there are functions for which eq...

We establish the descriptive set theoretic representation of the mouse M n , which is called 0(n+1)#. This part deals with the case n > 3.

We define the problem of inferring a “mixture of Markov chains” based on observing a stream of interleaved outputs from these chains. We show a sharp characterization of the inference process. The problems we consider also has applications such as gene finding, intrusion detection, etc., and more generally in analyzing interleaved sequences.

Measurement of discharge in open channels is one of the main concerns in hydraulic engineering. The structures used for this aim should be accurate, economical and easy to use. Weirs are among the oldest and most convenient hydraulic structures that have been used in both laboratory and field for flow measurement in open channels. Due to limitations of simple sharp crested weirs, recently compo...

BACKGROUND Morphogen molecules form concentration gradients to provide spatial information to cells in a developing embryo. Precisely how cells decode such information to form patterns with sharp boundaries remains an open question. For example, it remains controversial whether the Drosophila morphogenetic protein Bicoid (Bcd) plays a transient or sustained role in activating its target genes t...

This paper addresses four different aspects of the remote sensing image fusion: i) image fusion method, ii) quality analysis of fusion results, iii) effects of image decomposition level, and iv) importance of image registration. First, a new contourlet-based image fusion method is presented, which is an improvement over the wavelet-based fusion. This fusion method is then utilized withinthe mai...

SHARP (Simulation-based High-efficiency Advanced Reactor Prototyping) is a modern suite of codes to simulate the key components of a fast reactor core. The SHARP toolkit is organized as a collection of modules, each representing the key components of the physics to be modeled – neutron transport, thermal hydraulics, fuel/structure behavior – together with pre and post-processing for geometry de...
