BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Type 2 FCD is one of the main causes of drug-resistant partial epilepsy. Its detection by MR imaging has greatly improved surgical outcomes, but it often remains overlooked. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of typical MR imaging criteria for type 2 FCD, to provide a precise MR imaging pattern, and to optimize its detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospe...

We study quantum dynamics of three dressed Bose-Einstein condensates in a high-Q cavity. The quasiparticle excitation spectrum of this system is found numerically. The stability of the quasiparticle excitation is analyzed. It is shown that there exist instabilities in the excitation spectrum. Typeset using REVTEX 1 ] Recently, multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensates (MBEC’s) [1,2] have attract...

Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) in the ITER divertor will be exposed to severe conditions, including exposure transient heat loads from edge-localized modes (ELMs) and plasma particles neutrons. Tungsten is material chosen as PFM for divertor. In previous tests, bubble formation ITER-grade tungsten was detected when fusion relevant conditions. For this study, simultaneous ELM-like D/He (6%) line...

BACKGROUND Prediction of timing for the onset and peak of an influenza pandemic is of vital importance for preventive measures. In order to identify common spatiotemporal patterns and climate influences for pandemics in Sweden we have studied the propagation in space and time of A(H1N1)pdm09 (10,000 laboratory verified cases), the Asian Influenza 1957-1958 (275,000 cases of influenza-like illne...

This study examined associations between broad cognitive abilities (Fluid Reasoning [Gf], Short-Term Working Memory [Gwm], Long-Term Retrieval [Glr], Processing Speed [Gs], Comprehension-Knowledge [Gc], Visual Processing [Gv], and Auditory Processing [Ga]) and reading achievement (Basic Reading Skills, Reading Rate, Reading Fluency, and Reading Comprehension) in a nationally representative scho...

Abstract The application of an active seismic method for detecting the source location underground nuclear explosion (UNE) is ongoing field research. objective in On-Site Inspection (OSI) to detect static signatures such as cavity created by UNE. Along with characteristic signatures, UNEs produce dynamic phenomena groundwater mounding, which gradually revert pre-test conditions. These are obser...

Ginger waste material (GWM) has been utilized as adsorbent for removal of hazardousPatent Blue VF (PBVF) dye from aqueous solution. Batch adsorption experiments wereperformed as a function of pH, contact time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature.The optimum pH required for the maximum adsorption was found to be 2. The experimentalequilibrium adsorption data were tested using Langm...
