The slice filtration on Voevodsky’s triangulated category of motives is defined by effectivity conditions. It is constructed and studied in [HK]. An analogous filtration on the homotopy category was introduced by Voevodsky. In this note we try to get a conjectural picture of the properties of the slice filtration by systematic use of the realization functor to the derived category of Hodge stru...

Despite its high prevalence and individual as well as societal burden, migraine remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. In recent years, the options for the management of migraine patients have greatly expanded. A number of drugs belonging to various pharmacological classes and deliverable by several routes are now available both for the acute and the preventive treatments of migraine. Neverth...

Background Limited evidence suggests that Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams may in some cases be unnecessarily coercive. The study aimed to adapt or develop measures of client-perceived coerciveness, and of actual pressure or coercion, in an ACT setting. It also aimed to examine the association between these two constructs, as well as their associations with client sociodemographic and ...

The particle-in-cell method is generally considered a flexible and robust method to model the geodynamic problems with chemical heterogeneity. However, velocity interpolation from grid points to particle locations is often performed without considering the divergence of the velocity field, which can lead to significant particle dispersion or clustering if those particles move through regions of...

Correction Following publication of our article [1], we became aware that the treatment protocol for the single-site group is incorrectly stated in the methods section. All patients in this group are stimulated over the left temporoparietal cortex (not over the temporoparietal cortex contralateral to the tinnitus percept). Using the same stimulation site for all patients in the single-site grou...

Cancer poses a considerable economic burden to healthcare systems worldwide, so healthcare payers will only pay for “performance” in the future. It is likely that new “wonders” have emerged and as a scientific community we need to learn how we can make future cancer research more efficient. Biobanking and imaging platforms will allow full use of this wealth of data for defining and testing hypo...

The goals of this task group are to examine the current high dose-rate (HDR) treatment delivery practices and to prepare a document to assure safe delivery of HDR treatments. The document consists of detailed HDR procedures for design of an HDR brachytherapy program, staffing and training, treatment specific quality assurance, and emergency procedures. The document provides an extensive quality...

A retrospective study of 300 tuberculosis patients on short course chemotherapy registered in 1985 at the Chest Clinic, General Hospital Alor Setar, Kedah was carried out with the purpose of identifying patient characteristics, determining incidence of side-effects and modifying treatment regimens in order to minimise these side-effects. One hundred and sixteen (38.7%) patients developed side e...
