Rhinitis is often the first symptom of allergy but is frequently ignored and classified as a nuisance condition. Ironically it has the greatest socioeconomic burden worldwide caused by its impact on work and on daily life. However, patients appear reticent to seek professional advice, visiting their doctor only when symptoms become 'intolerable' and often when their usual therapy proves ineffec...

Hirayama disease is a rare type of neurological disease commonly manifesting as brachial monomelic amyotrophy in young males of Asian origin, easily understood as juvenile non-progressive cervical amyotrophy. The first case was reported by Hirayama in 1959. The pathogenesis is attributed towards chronic compression of cervical spinal cord during flexion movements of neck in cases where there is...

A random walk is performed over a disordered media composed of N sites random and uniformly distributed inside a d-dimensional hypercube. The walker cannot remain in the same site and hops to one of its n neighboring sites with a transition probability that depends on the distance D between sites according to a cost function E(D). The stochasticity level is parametrized by a formal temperature ...

We show that the set I(f) of points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map f(z) = exp(z) is a connected subset of the complex plane.

In this report, we continue studying Logic Synthesis Preserving Specification (LSPS). Given a combinational circuit N and its partition into subcircuits N1,..,Nk (this partition is called a specification of N), LSPS optimizes N by replacing each subcircuit Ni with toggle equivalent subcircuit Ni. As we showed before, LSPS is scalable. In this report, we demonstrate that LSPS can be also viewed ...

First, he states that a given protein will be predisposed to escape and move long distances when it is overexpressed on free ribosomes in the companion-cell (CC) cytosol. He suggests that retention rather than movement would be the default. This begs the question as to how the CC could retain all of its translated proteins when it is connected to the fast-flowing sieve element (SE) by numerous,...

Solitons propagating within a confining potential undergo momentum-dependent scattering and eventually escape for large excitations. We experimentally highlight this phenomenon in the presence of a nonperturbative nonlinear response using self-confined light beams in a reorientational medium.

HALO is a novel aspect language introducing a logic-based pointcut language which combines history-based pointcuts and “escape” conditions for interacting with the base language. This combination is difficult to support when escape conditions access context exposed by “future” join points. This paper introduces a weaving mechanism based on copying objects for resolving such pointcuts. Though th...

In this paper we argue that at least for some languages, when there are suitable o-commanders of its selectional domain, a reflexive in the bottom of its obliqueness hierarchy escapes exemption via a reshuffling of its local binding domain. The outcome of such reshuffling is that the local domain extends to include o-commanders of the reflexive in the subcategorization domain immediately upstai...
