paragangliomas in the head and neck are found typically in the region of the carotid body, jugular body, and along the 9th and 10th cranial nerves. they can occur in multicenteric forms, but generally, laryngeal paragangliomas are not found in these patients. only two cases of laryngeal paraganglioma have been reported with a synchronous lesion elsewhere. we report an additional case of a 34-ye...

Spatial neglect can be characterized by a "magnetic attraction" towards the right side of a visual stimulus array and a selection of stimuli from that hemispace. This study examined whether these distinctive characteristics in visuo-motor space are also evident in representational number space. Given that numbers are thought to be represented along a left-to-right oriented mental number line, a...

The Slovak Republic (SR) is a small sovereign state in Central Europe which gained independence on the 1 January 1993 by separation from the Czech/Slovak Federal Republic. From 2002, the SR was divided into eight semi-autonomous Regions (“krajov”); each named after its principal city; with their self-governing bodies referred to as UpperTier Territorial Units (V UC). These regions are subdivide...

1. Pain perception Bodily sensations, for instance pains, are often thought to pose insuperable difficulties for representational theories of consciousness. Chris is never one to dodge a problem, and chapter 6 of his splendid and instructive Consciousness is devoted to outlining a perceptual/representational theory of pain, in the tradition of Armstrong and Pitcher. Perceptual theories of pain ...

Good physical fitness generally makes the body less prone to common diseases. A personalized exercise plan that promotes a balanced approach to fitness helps promotes fitness, while inappropriate forms of exercise can have adverse consequences for health. This paper aims to develop an ontology-driven knowledge-based system for generating custom-designed exercise plans based on a user's profile ...

Using multiple representations is advocated and emphasized in mathematics science education. However, many students have difficulty connecting of linear functions. Augmented Reality (AR) may affect these teaching learning difficulties by offering dynamically linked representations. Inspired this, our study aims to develop, implement, evaluate an AR-based multi-representational environment (MRLE...

Issues and opportunities for RDA harmonization within the SEA region were first raised during the First Regional Forum and Workshop "RDAs: Scientific Basis and Future Directions", held in Singapore in March 1997. A regional review on RDAs in SEA showed general similarities for the different RDAs, although in some cases a country listed an exceptionally high or low RDA for a particular nutrient ...
