BACKGROUND Multi-morbidity such as cumulating mental health, behavioral, and school difficulties (consumptions of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and hard drugs, obesity, depressive symptoms, suicide attempts, involvement in violence, and low school performance) is common in early adolescence and can be favored by a number of socioeconomic factors (gender, age, nationality, family structure, parent...

Two studies have reported that low self-esteem is related to the holding of four specific irrational beliefs; further studies have suggested that these and other irrational beliefs are associated with different client problems. This study attempted to replicate the self-esteem findings with a younger population and improved controls and to explore whether other client problems derive from simil...

This paper discusses the role that computational fluid dynamics plays in the design of aircraft. An overview of the design process is provided, covering some of the typical decisions that a design team addresses within a multi-disciplinary environment. On a very regular basis trade-offs between disciplines have to be made where a set of conflicting requirements exists. Within an aircraft develo...

Existing robotic surgical platforms face limitations which include the balance between the scale of the robot and its capability in terms of range of motion, load capacity, and tool manipulation. These limitations can be overcome by taking advantage of fluid power as an enabling technology with its inherent power density and controllability. As a proof-of-concept for this approach, we are pursu...

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field K and let ĥ be the canonical height function on A(K̄) attached to a symmetric ample line bundle L. We prove that there exists a constant C = C(A, K,L) > 0 such that ĥ(P ) ≥ C for all nontorsion points P ∈ A(K), where K is the maximal abelian extension of K. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to provide a proof of the following result...

Electrospraying utilises electrical forces for liquid atomisation. Droplets obtained by this method are highly charged to a fraction of the Rayleigh limit. The advantage of electrospraying is that the droplets can be extremely small, down to the order of 10’s nanometres, and the charge and size of the droplets can be controlled to some extent be electrical means. Motion of the charged droplets ...

A multifrequency eddy current sensor has been installed in a vertical Bridgman furnace and used to measure the electrical conductivity of Cd l_XZn,Te alloys (for x = 0, 0.045 and 0.08) as a function of temperature during heating and cooling through the melting transition. The conductivity of the x = 0.0 and 0.08 samples increased exponentially with temperature up to the melting point. A 4-6 fol...

ions over hole variables, hole lling simply boils down to (multiple) -reduction. So, in our running example we get ( h: x:x( h x)y)( x:x)! x:x( ( x:x) x)y. In the case of composition, the rewrite relation involves some shifting of abstractions. For example, let C x:2 and D x( y:2) be two -contexts. Then the composition of the two, here denoted by C D, results in the context x:x( y:2). Note that...

We are interested in nite-time blow-up phenomena for heat equations of the type: @u @t = u+ jujp 1u (1) where u : (x; t) 2 RN [0; T )! R, 1 < p, (N 2)p < N + 2. We rst construct for (1) a solution u which blows-up in nite time T at only one blow-up point x0 2 RN , and describe completely its blow-up pro le (or asymptotic behavior). This construction is based on a priori estimates' technique whi...
