The surgical treatment of frontal sinus fractures is foreshadowed by fears of late complications. Complications such as meningitis and mucoceles should be prevented by cranialization or obliteration of the frontal sinus. These procedures are still standard treatment despite of recent developments over the last two decades in endoscopic sinus surgery, in medical imaging and surgical instrumentat...

Satellite tracking of 27 whale sharks in the eastern tropical Pacific, examined in relation to environmental data, indicates preferential occupancy of thermo-biological frontal systems. In these systems, thermal gradients are caused by wind-forced circulation and mixing, and biological gradients are caused by associated nutrient enrichment and enhanced primary productivity. Two of the frontal s...

This paper presents an AI model of integrated planning and reaction based on neuropsychological theories of similar human behavior. The model forges a link between frontal lobe models and AI planning systems that can improve our understanding of situated planning through a combined perspective. This paper rst sets the frontal lobes in context, and then summarizes the frontal lobe theories upon ...

The row-by-row frontal method may be used to solve general large sparse linear systems of equations. By partitioning the matrix into (nearly) independent blocks and applying the frontal method to each block, a coarse-grained parallel frontal algorithm is obtained. The success of this approach depends on preordering the matrix. This can be done in two stages, (1) order the matrix to bordered blo...
