approach of the French Enlightenment which included the central government's goal of uniformity of procedures and government training in the name of science, technology, progress, and national security. Midwifery was for her a state affair. In her teaching she privileged the technical, referring to her mannequin as the "machine". An entrepreneur, she emphasized the baby as the "product", a depa...

Motivated by the problem of constructing bijective maps with low differential uniformity, we introduce notion permutation resemblance a function, which looks to measure distance given map is from being permutation. We prove several results concerning permutation resemblance and show how it can ...

We discuss the existence of solutions, u ∈ φ+W 1,∞ 0 (Ω;R), for differential inclusions of the form Du(x) ∈ E, a.e. in Ω . 1 – Introduction In this article we discuss the existence of solutions, u ∈ W 1,∞(Ω;Rm), for the Dirichlet problem involving differential inclusions of the form

Consider the differential inclusion Du ∈ E in R. We exhibit an explicit solution that we call fundamental. It turns out to be also a viscosity solution, when properly defining this notion. Finally we consider a Dirichlet problem associated to the differential inclusion and we give an iterative procedure for finding a solution.

Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...

Certaines manifestations cutanees sont fre­quement rencontrees au cours du diabete sucre.  L'auteur decrit les lesions cutanees pro­pres au dia.bete e.: celles qui sc manifestent dans des syndromes associes au diabe:e. Bien que ces signes cutanes ne soient pas pathogno­moniques du diabete sucre, mais par leur acce­cibilite aux yeux du clinicien et par leur fre­quence ils peuvent faire penser a...

We establish the intrinsic Harnack inequality for nonnegative solutions of the parabolic p-Laplacian equation by a proof that uses neither the comparison principle nor explicit self-similar solutions. The significance is that the proof applies to quasilinear p-Laplacian-type equations, thereby solving a long-standing problem in the theory of degenerate parabolic equations. 1. Main results Let E...

A Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) demodulator based on a novel Multimode Interference (MMI) design is characterized for a number of operating wavelengths, with results indicating good uniformity and low wavelength dependency.

A 9 pm cutoff 256x256 hand-held quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) camera has been demonstrated. Excellent imagery, with a noise equivalent differential temperature (NEAT) of 26 mK has been achieved. In this paper, we discuss the performance of this portable long-wavelength infrared camera in quantum efficiency, NEAT, minimum resolvable temperature difference (MRTD), uniformity, etc. an...
