— The objective of this mini-course is to take a look at a standard semilinear partial differential equation −∆u = λf(u) on which we show the use of some basic tools in the study of elliptic equation. We will mention the maximum principle, barrier method, blow-up analysis, regularity and boot-strap argument, stability, localization and quantification of singularities, Pohozaev identities, movin...

In this study, foot pressures were measured in 13 healthy people while walking with custom-made Solid AFO (MAFO) and prefabricated Solid AFO (PAFO). Peak pressures (PP) were calculated for 10 regions in plantar surface using pedar-x system and in 5 regions between calf and AFO by pliance-x system. The findings indicate that PP in heel, heel side/ankle, and medial calf shell strap regions were r...

" For this purpose we gave him a compressorium; which, like the old rupture bandages, consisted of a cushion fastened to a strap, which was buckled round the body. On the lower and inner side of the cushion, there was also a strap, which was fastened round the thigh by means of a buckle. The cushion itself consisted of two iron pieces : the uppermost had the form of a common cushion, and was ex...

Three unusual injuries of the cervical spine in wearers of safety belts are reported. In each case, the presence of diagonal bruising and abrasions in the line of the sash strap indicated its involvement in the mechanism of the injury.

Survival motor neuron (SMN) complex is essential for the biogenesis of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complex, although the complete role of each SMN complex component for the snRNP synthesis is largely unclear. We have identified an interaction between the two components Gemin2-Gemin7 using the mammalian two-hybrid system. In vitro stability assay revealed that the known SMN-Gemin...
