abstract seizure disorders are the most common neurological illnesses in infants and children. presented is an 8 year old boy with nocturnal vomiting episodes, found to have eeg characteristics of early onset benign occipital epilepsy, better known as panayiotopoulos syndrome.

The lifetime of the Λ–hyperon in heavy hypernuclei – as measured by the COSY–13 Collaboration in proton – Au, Bi and U collisions at COSY–Jülich – has been analyzed to yield τΛ = (145 ± 11) ps. This value for τΛ is compatible with the lifetime extracted from antiproton annihilation on Bi and U targets, however, much more accurate. Theoretical models based on the meson exchange picture and assum...

We present a parallel machine, based on programmable devices, dedicated to simulate spin glass models with Z2 variables and short range interaction. A working prototype is described for two lattices containing 312 × 312 spins each with an update time of 50 ns per spin. The final version of the three dimensional parallel machine is discussed with spin update time up to 312 ps.

A series of pyridine ether PPAR agonists were synthesized through an ADDP and PS-PPh3 modified Mitsunobu protocol, which eliminated significant by-product formation. This method proved to be versatile, efficient and amenable to parallel synthesis.

background: acute blood purification (abp) therapy is used regularly in the clinical setting and reportedly alleviates organ failure associated with severe systemic inflammatory responses, leading to reduced mortality. the present study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in efficacy between polysulfone (ps) membranes, which are currently used regularly in the clinical setting, and...

Let Cg be a smooth projective irreducible curve over C of genus g ≥ 1 and let {p1, p2, . . . , ps} be a set of distinct points on Cg. We fix a nonnegative integer l and denote by Mg(p, λ) the moduli space of parabolic semistable vector bundles of rank r with trivial determinant and fixed parabolic structure of type λ = (λ1, λ2, . . . , λs) at p = (p1, p2, . . . , ps), where each weight λi is in...

Hf-phosphinoamide cation complexes behave as metal-based frustrated Lewis pairs and bind one or two equivalent of CO2 and in as well can activate CO2 in a bimetallic fashion to give a pseudo-tetrahedral P2CO2 fragment linking two Hf centres.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in learning approaches that combine two phases: an initial problem-solving phase followed by an instruction phase (PS-I). Two often cited examples of instructional approaches following the PS-I scheme include Productive Failure and Invention. Despite the growing interest in PS-I approaches, to the best of our knowledge, there has not yet been a compre...
