Modern teaching trends in medical education exhibit a paradigm shift from the conventional classroom teaching methods adopted in the past to nonconventional teaching aids so as to encourage interactive forms of learning in medical students through active participation and integrative reasoning where the relationship of the teacher and the taught has undergone tremendous transformation. Some of ...

Nonconventional luminophores have attracted significant attention for their unique photophysical properties and potential applications in different areas. Unlike classic luminogens consisting of remarkably conjugated segments, nonconventional generally possess merely nonconjugated or short-conjugated structures based on electron-rich units. Fluorescence, phosphorescence, even color tunable room...

Nonconventional machining technologies have been found viable to manufacture various products from a wide range of engineering materials. Wire electric discharge (WEDM), also known as Wire-EDM, is one the important thermal type nonconventional technologies. Wire-EDM being preferably used by manufacturers produce biomedical devices including bio and dental implants. This paper presents an overvi...

The paper revisits recently revealed regimes of the "nonconventional synchronization" in systems coupled bi-stable Van der Pol oscillators. These are characterized by periodic (or quasiperiodic) almost complete energy exchanges between In it is demonstrated that such responses correspond to synchronization modulation amplitudes symmetric and antisymmetric modes system, with persistent phase dri...

Quite a number of nonconventional forms of healing originated in eighteenthand nineteenth-century Germany (e.g., mesmerism, homoeopathy, hydropathy, anthroposophical medicine). This historical fact provides more than just an excuse for pursuing the historiography of nonconventional medical practices in German-speaking countries. It provides, too, a useful basis for a comparative look at this ph...

We prove a local central limit theorem for “nonconventional” sums generated by some classes of sufficiently fast mixing sequences.

BACKGROUND Bipolar disorder (BD) is a debilitating syndrome that is often undiagnosed and undertreated. Population surveys show that persons with BD often self-medicate with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) or integrative therapies in spite of limited research evidence supporting their use. To date, no review has focused specifically on nonconventional treatments of BD. OBJECTIVES...
