This paper describes the technical and aesthetic approach util ized for the development of an interactive audiovisual performance system designed specifically for use by chi ldren with multiple learning difficulties, including deafness and autism. Sound is transformed in real-time through the implementation of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and translated into a moving image. This image is adap...

We describe an experiment in combining multiple interactive media in one collaborative system. While our system supports context–based display of content, it also supports synchronous awareness between visitors using PDA, hypermedia and VR systems. We are also exploring multiple scales of location: buildings on a street, rooms within a building, and spaces within a room. We describe the design ...

Chronic migraine (CM) and episodic migraine (EM) are part of the spectrum of migraine disorders, but they are distinct clinical entities. Population-based studies have shown that those with CM demonstrate higher individual and societal burden because they are significantly more disabled than those with EM and have greater impaired quality of life both inside and outside the home. Proper diagnos...

Results: A total of 247 plastic surgeons were included. 78.6% cited previous work at least once (mean 34.3 +/87.5 self-citations). These self-citations accounted for 4.8% of all citations. Including self-citations in bibliometric analyses increased h-indices from 9.5 +/6.9 to 10.2 +/7.6. A minority of researchers (20.1%) increased their h-index via self-citation by at least one integer value (r...

Migraine is a debilitating headache disorder that is underdiagnosed and undertreated worldwide, partially attributable to misdiagnosis and expectations of poor treatment outcomes. This article provides a review of chronic migraine, including pathophysiology, burden, diagnosis, and management, with special emphasis on the role of NPs.
