New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is an increasingly recognized syndrome requiring aggressive antiepileptic management. A wide range of etiologies are associated with NORSE, including atypical infections and antibody mediated disorders [[1]Gaspard N. Foreman B.P.

Tourette syndrome (TS) was named after Georges Albert Edouard Brutus Gilles de la Tourette, who made its first formal description at the end of the 19 century. Nevertheless, some evidence indicates the disorder may have been recognised at least two thousand years ago. Tic like behaviours were recorded by Aretaeus of Cappadocia and several centuries later by Sprenger and Kraemer, followed by oth...

T he study of shape has intrigued some of the brightest minds of humanity, from Leonardo Da Vinci and Carl Friedrich Gauss to some of the top scientists of the modern era. The mathematics to analyze shapes are both beautiful and challenging, covering a variety of tools, from topology (1), to metric and differential geometry (2, 3), to statistics (4). The applications are very diverse and potent...

The foremost, dominant, and influential scientific discourse of how to define tinnitus states that tinnitus is the perception of sound(s) in the absence of an external sound source. This is the most common statement among researchers in audiology and related fields, stemming from basic neurosciences (Kaltenbach, 2011) to applied psychophysiology (Kropp et al., 2012), audiology (Caffier et al., ...

THE ACM Virtual Reality Software and Technology (ACM VRST) Symposium is an annual conference devoted to the technical aspects of virtual reality that was first started in 1994. The ACM VRST 2010 was the 17th conference in the series. This special section contains the extended versions of four of the best papers from the ACM VRST 2010. The selection of these four papers was done by the guest edi...

Quantum ergodicity of classically chaotic systems has been studied extensively both theoretically and experimentally, in mathematics, and in physics. Despite this long tradition we are able to present a new rigorous result using only elementary calculus. In the case of the famous Bunimovich billiard table shown in Fig.1 we prove that the wave functions have to spread into any neighbourhood of t...

Introduction The public sphere includes a range of credible discourses asserting that proportion teenagers (“teens”) has an unhealthy dependence upon continuous connection with media devices, and especially smartphones. A review discourse (Jaunzems et al.) in Australia, critical Australia Belgium (Zaman al.), reveal both positive negative commentary around screentime. Despite the “emotionally l...

It is our great pleasure to introduce this second edition of the focus issue on phase-change and ovonic materials. This special aims summarize recent progress in rapidly developing field materials their numerous applications. provides a snapshot state-of-the-art, both experimental theoretical, for experienced young researchers interested subject area. Since its very first 2019, we expect publis...
