BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute BAO is a devastating neurological condition associated with a poor clinical outcome and a high mortality rate. Recanalization has been identified as a major prognostic factor for good outcome in BAO. Mechanical thrombectomy using retrievable stents is an emerging treatment option for acute stroke. First clinical trials using stent retrievers have shown promising hig...

High density BaZrO3 ceramic crucibles have been successfully fabricated and used to grow high quality YBa2Cu3O7-x single crystals by the BaO-CuO self flux method. The ceramic crucibles are inert and insoluble in the Y2O3-BaO-CuO melt, have a long lifetime, and can be used repeatedly for crystal growth runs. The crystals grown using the crucibles have not only high chemical purity (99.99-99.995%...

In this paper, I examine the acquisition data of a Mandarin-speaking child Bao-Bao (2;2.7) to study his acquisition of Mandarin classifiers, which are obligatory when a demonstrative or a numeral occurs. I argue that despite the poor input from the caregiver, the child is aware of the classifier projection and the selectional syntactic relation within a Mandarin DP from an early age, which is c...

In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...

It has been established by Bao, Lin and Sontag (2000) that, for neutrally stable discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturation, finite gain lp stabilization can be achieved by linear output feedback, for every p ∈ (1,∞] except p = 1. An explicit construction of the corresponding feedback laws was given. The feedback laws constructed also resulted in a closed-loop system that is gl...

We consider the cosmological constraints on the holographic dark energy model by using the data set available from the type Ia supernovae (SNIa), CMB and BAO observations. The constrained parameters are critical to determine the quintessence or quintom character the model. The SNIa and joint SNIa+CMB+BAO analysis give the best-fit results for β with priors on Ωm0 and ω0. Using montecarlo we obt...

In Probabilistic Opponent-Model search(PrOM search) the opponent is modelled by a mixed strategy of N opponent types ω0 . . . ωN−1. The opponent is assumed to adopt at every move one of the opponent types ωi according to the probability Pr(ωi). We hypothesize that PrOM search is a better search mechanism than Opponent-Model search (OM search) and Minimax search. In this paper we investigate two...
