In non-Hermitian scattering problems the behavior of transmission probability is very different from its Hermitian counterpart; it can exceed unity or even be divergent, since non-Hermiticity add remove to and system. present paper, we consider problem a PT-symmetric potential find counter-intuitive behavior. usual system, would typically stationary semi-Hermitian dynamics in regime weak but ob...

Watari T, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222987 Description An embedded fish hook injury is a tough condition for clinical decision-making, as it needs to be determined whether to advance the hook or to pull it out. Patients or their friends usually attempt to remove a fish hook, causing more soft tissue trauma. There are many different sizes and types of fish hooks, and the fou...

An analysis of the stochastic dynamics of the blind adaptation of decision feedback equalizers is presented. The analysis accounts for the presence of decision errors which, under feedback, are propagated. A number of blind algorithms are presented and a theory is developed to explain gross convergence properties observed through simulations. The possibility of and mechanism behind undesirable ...

J have remarked elsewhere *, that there were several distinct species of Ophthalmia not accurately described by nosological writers, but which, in a practical as well as pathological point of view, it was important to distinguish from each other. Besides the rheumatic inflammation of the eye, the peculiar symptoms and treatment of which I have attempted to point out, there is another species of...

Continuous EEG monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU) is superficially similar to that which occurs in the epilepsy monitoring unit, but it also presents unique technical challenges. ICU monitoring imposes an expectation of reliability on EEG recording equipment exceeding that which may be demanded by other settings; performance requirements may also differ. Reliable network connectivity b...

Vertical sections of colonies and confluent sheets of normal and polyoma virus-transformed BHK21 cells, and of a spontaneous malignant variant of BHK21 cells, and also of freshly isolated hamster fibroblasts, were examined to determine the structural interrelationship of the cells in relation to their varying transplantability. All cells except the freshly isolated fibroblasts formed multilayer...

Many synesthetes experience colors when viewing letters or digits. We document, for the first time, an analogous phenomenon among users of signed languages who showed color synesthesia for fingerspelled letters and signed numerals. Four synesthetes experienced colors when they viewed manual letters and numerals (in two cases, colors were subjectively projected on to the hands). There was a corr...

This paper describes how to add tags to extract knowledge from information for intelligent design support. Our project called Universal Abduction Studio (UAS) aims to build a new design support system that supports conceptual design by dynamically integrating various superficially irrelevant knowledge in different design domains. This paper focuses on knowledge description form which can be use...

Mirror Theory is a syntactic framework developed in (Brody, 1997), where it is offered as a consequence of eliminating purported redundancies in Chomsky’s minimalism (Chomsky, 1995). A fundamental feature of Mirror Theory is its requirement that the syntactic head-complement relation mirror certain morphological relations (such as constituency). This requirement constrains the types of syntacti...

By the early twentieth century, Britain and all of its Atlantic colonies prohibited the “pretended” use of supernatural powers or rituals such as fortunetelling, obeah, sorcery, and witchcraft. Legislators and others policymakers throughout the Anglophone Atlantic justified these proscriptions using similar narratives; they described occult practitioners as charlatans and vagabonds. Metropolita...
