BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Prolonged electroencephalographic (EEG) discontinuity has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes after perinatal asphyxia but its predictive value in the era of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is unknown. In infants undergoing TH for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) prolonged EEG discontinuity is associated with cerebral tissue injury on MRI and adver...

We consider the zero heat conductivity limit to a contact discontinuity for the mono-dimensional full compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system. The method is based on the relative entropy method, and do not assume any smallness conditions on the discontinuity, nor on the BV norm of the initial data. It is proved that for any viscosity ν ≥ 0, the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fouri...

Characteristics of small amplitude plane waves within the medium separated by the plane discontinuity into two half spaces are analysed. The approximation of the ideal one-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is used. The discontinuities with the nonzero mass flux across them are mainly examined. These are fast or slow shock waves and rotational discontinuities. The dispersion equation for MHD wave...

This quantitative review of 130 comparisons of interindividual and intergroup interactions in the context of mixed-motive situations reveals that intergroup interactions are generally more competitive than interindividual interactions. The authors identify 4 moderators of this interindividual-intergroup discontinuity effect, each based on the theoretical perspective that the discontinuity effec...

Discontinuity of the second formant (F2 discontinuity) is often found during back-to-front vowel transitions, and it has been thought due to two possible effects: acoustic coupling with the subglottal tract (subglottal-coupling effect, SCE) and traveling anti-resonance of the interdental space (interdental-space effect, ISE). Although both are possible to appear together, either of the two is c...
