We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with brainstem encephalitis in the third trimester of pregnancy. She presented complex visual and auditory hallucinations in the acute disease phase (hearing opera arias and seeing room furniture upside-down). Hallucinations resolved with antiviral treatment.

AbstractThe engineering purpose of a site-specific response analysis is to estimate the uniform hazard acceleration spectrum on ground surface for selected level. One mandatory components site analyses one or more representative time histories that need be scaled with respect calculated seismic level site. The selection and scaling procedures earthquake records play an important role in this ap...

In performance-based earthquake wngineering, record selection comes into play at the interface of seismic hazard and structural analysis aiming to repair any loss essential seismological dependencies caused by choice an insufficient intensity measure be used for response prediction. Site-specific is best exemplified prominent conditional spectrum (CS) approach that attempts ensure a hazard-cons...

This paper describes a sensing technique that has been entirely built from off-the-shelf electronic components, with the aim of providing its construction and programming guidelines as an open-source platform which can be continuously updated. The assessments carried out in this investigation indicate proposed sensor is suitable for deployment accelerograph seismic monitoring structural systems...
