On Wideness and Stability

We study nowhere dense classes of graphs, recently introduced by Nesetril and Ossona de Mendez. Firstly, we provide a new proof for the fact that these classes are uniformly quasi-wide, improving previously known bounds between the two equivalent notions. Secondly, we give a new combinatorial proof of the result of Adler and Adler stating that nowhere dense classes of graphs are stable. In contrast to the original proof, our proof is completely finitistic and yields explicit bounds for ladder indices of first-order formulas on nowhere dense classes of graphs.
Global stability results for models of commensalism

We analyze the global stability of the coexisting equilibria for several models of commensalism, first by devising a procedure to modify several Lyapunov functionals which were introduced earlier for corresponding models of mutualism, further confirming their usefulness. It is seen that commensalism promotes global stability, in connection with higher-order self-limiting terms which prevent unboundedness. We then use the theory of asymptotically autonomous systems to prove global stability results for models of commensalism which are subject to Allee effects, finding that commensalisms of appropriate strength can overcome the influence of strong Allee effects.
Boundedness of the velocity derivative skewness in various turbulent flows

The variation of $S$ , the velocity derivative skewness, with the Taylor microscale Reynolds number $\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}$ is examined for different turbulent flows by considering the locally isotropic form of the transport equation for the mean energy dissipation rate $\overline{{\it\epsilon}}_{iso}$ . In each flow, the equation can be expressed in the form $S+2G/\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}=C/\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}$ , where $G$ is a non-dimensional rate of destruction of $\overline{{\it\epsilon}}_{iso}$ and $C$ is a flow-dependent constant. Since $2G/\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}$ is found to be very nearly constant for $\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}\geqslant 70$ , $S$ should approach a universal constant when $\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}$ is sufficiently large, but the way this constant is approached is flow dependent. For example, the approach is slow in grid turbulence and rapid along the axis of a round jet. For all the flows considered, the approach is reasonably well supported by experimental and numerical data. The constancy of $S$ at large $\mathit{Re}_{{\it\lambda}}$ has obvious ramifications for small-scale turbulence research since it violates the modified similarity hypothesis introduced by Kolmogorov (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 13, 1962, pp. 82–85) but is consistent with the original similarity hypothesis (Kolmogorov, Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR, vol. 30, 1941, pp. 299–303).
Skull Base Approaches to Brain Tumors

The use of skull base approaches to access difficult cranial base tumors has gained popularity in the last 2 decades. The increasing use of skull base procedures can be attributed to the recognition of complications related to excessive brain retraction in more traditional approaches, improved understanding of the cranial base surgical anatomy, interdisciplinary team approach, technical advancements in micro-surgery and anesthesia, and the use of high-speed drills. This article reviews some of the commonly used skull base approaches, and their indications and operative techniques.
Theory of dislocations, 3rd edition

made little impact on precision high-energy hadron collider phenomenology. Lattice QCD concerns the non-perturbative domain, where the coupling s is large. It is an important, computer intensive, area of research activity. Lattice QCD is based on discretising finite-volume space time to provide a suitable ultraviolet cut-off. The calculations require minimal input and are reaching the stage where they can provide information on the PDFs from first principles (to supplement their determination from data). It would therefore have been useful to briefly alert the reader to lattice QCD, and to include a mention of this possibility in Chapter 6. The three authors of the ‘Black book of QCD’ are leading world experts in the field and have produced an authoritative and comprehensive text on the subject. There is a wealth of information for students of particle physics and for researchers in high energy physics which has never before been collected together in one place. Indeed, the text could serve as an excellent basis of a graduate lecture course.
Tests of New Family Gauge Symmetry

We explore the structure of a new family gauge symmetry U(3) and show its experimental signatures to search for. U(3) gauge bosons obviate an unwelcome deviation of the charged lepton mass formula with the running masses from that with the pole masses. The current structure of this model leads to flavor number violations via exchange of extra gauge bosons. We obtain bounds on the masses of the gauge bosons from rare kaon decay searches and muonium-antimuonium oscillation searches. We propose attractive signatures at LHC and lepton colliders and discuss feasibility of their discovery.
Establishing a threshold for rotational patient setup errors in linear accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery

While the accuracy of patient setup itself has been well documented in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), the amount of rotational patient setup errors needed to impact this accuracy is not well defined. The purpose of this study is to explore potential rotational setup error thresholds for SRS treatments of brain metastases. Two groups were analyzed in this study: Group A consisted of twenty cases where a single brain metastasis treatment was planned using a single isocenter located within the tumor; Group B consisted of five cases where two brain metastases were planned using a single isocenter located between the tumors. All twenty-five cases underwent simulations for rotations around the treatment isocenter of ±1°, ±3°, ±5°, and ±7°. In addition, cases in Group B included simulations of ±0.5° and ±2°. The percent of the gross target volume (GTV) and planning target volume (PTV) that received the prescription dose (Vp) was compared between the original plans and rotation simulations to determine what degree of rotations will cause Vp loss greater than 0% and 1% respectively. In Group A, the average loss in Vp for the GTV and PTV was 0% and below 1% respectively for rotations below ±3°. Using the Spearman correlation coefficient, Vp loss in Group A showed very weak to weak correlation with physical characteristic of the tumor. In Group B, the average loss in Vp for the GTV and PTV was 0% and below 1% respectively for rotations of ±0.5°. Vp loss as a result of rotations showed very strong correlation with increasing tumor distance from treatment isocenter. Our study suggests that a patient rotational setup error threshold of ±2° around all axes for isocentric treatments is conservative. For nonisocentric treatments, the rotational setup error threshold may need to be as low as or lower than ±0.5° for tumors that are far from the treatment isocenter.
Triple diffusive flow of Casson nanofluid with buoyancy forces and nonlinear thermal radiation over a horizontal plate

The presence of more than one solute diffused in fluid mixtures is very often requested for discussing the natural phenomena such as transportation of contaminants, underground water, acid rain and so on. In the paper, the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on triple diffusive convective boundary layer flow of Casson nanofluid along a horizontal plate is theoretically investigated. Similarity transformations are utilized to reduce the governing partial differential equations into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The reduced equations are numerically solved using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique. The impact of several existing physical parameters on velocity, temperature, solutal and nanofluid concentration profiles are analyzed through graphs and tables in detail. It is found that, modified Dufour parameter and Dufour solutal Lewis number enhances the temperature and solutal concentration profiles respectively.
On the Stagnant Zone Upstream of an Obstacle within a Stably Stratified Flow in the Atmosphere

Stably stratified airflows over a hill or mountain are studied by a wind tunnel and also by a theoretical model with special forcus on the upstream stagnant zone. The wind tunnel experiment shows that a stagnant zone is formed upstream of an obstacle when the Froude number is less than some critical value. The critical Froude number is found to vary with the obstacle height. In the stagnant zone, the airflow is negligible or reverse and the thickness of the zone decreases gradually with the distance from the obstacle.
Breast Reshaping after Massive Weight Loss

After massive weight loss, breasts have poor shape, projection, and skin elasticity. The nipples are distorted and ptotic. Mastopexy is difﬁcult and historically includes the use of excess nearby tissues. The senior author reviews his experience with 24 patients over the past 4 years. Body contouring is offered after the weight loss is stable. Breasts may be reshaped by mastopexy and/or augmentation; three examples are presented. More often the breasts are reshaped during an upper body lift. This lift is a reverse abdominoplasty that ends along the inframammary fold scar of the Wise-pattern mastopexy and extends laterally along the back roll. When the breasts need enlargement, nearby discard tissue is used for augmentation. The spiral ﬂap has been devised for that purpose. When more tissue is needed, silicone implants are used. The long inframammary scar of the McKissock vertical bipedicle mastopexy forms the junction between the breast and reverse abdominoplasty. Proper inframammary fold construction is pivotal to the upper body lift. We have successfully combine breast reshaping with upper body lift for this difﬁcult deformity after massive weight loss and present two demonstrative examples. Breast reshaping is best performed during an upper body lift.
Effect of Dispersive Soil on the Electromagnetic Response of Buried Wires in the UHF Range

In this paper, we analyze the effect of the soil on the induced current in a buried wire excited by an external field in the ultrahigh frequency range. We use an extended version of the Messier model, which provides the electromagnetic (EM) properties of dispersive soils. Based on comparisons of the Messier model and experimental data, it is verified that this model can be used up to a frequency of about 4 GHz for wet soils. A buried straight wire is used for analyzing the soil effect on the EM coupling with an external plane wave impinging from the air. It is shown that the effects of the soil on the EM response of a wire are mainly (i) to modify its electrical length and (ii) to attenuate the incident wave and, as a consequence, the induced current in the wire. The accuracy of the path decomposition method is assessed. It is shown that this method can be used to estimate with reasonable accuracy the behavior of the induced current. Finally, we study the influence of the frequency‐dependence of the soil parameters on the EM coupling to a buried wire. We show that the dispersive nature of the soils affects the spectral content of induced currents in buried wires. Therefore, it can be concluded that the frequency dependence of the soil parameters should not be neglected in EM coupling calculations in the UHF range, especially for low resistivity soils (ρ < 300 Ωm, corresponding to wet soils).
Spectroscopy of high-energy ions with Timepix3

We present measurements of high-energy ions with the Timpepix3, a compact, single-layer pixelated radiation detector, developed by the Medipix3 Collaboration. We discuss some novel types of information that can be gleaned from the time-of-arrival information provided by the detector. We demonstrate precise energy measurements for ions with moderate stopping powers. We compare data with predictions from Landau-Vavilov theory, and find good agreement, particularly at high incidence angles, relative to the detector surface normal. Higher stopping powers pose a problem with the detector, as it is unable to measure energy deposits larger than about 500 keV per pixel.

Parameter estimation for Student diusion

We consider the problem of parameter estimation for an ergodic diusion with the symmetric scaled Student invariant distribution, where the spectral representation of the transition density is given in terms of the nite number of discrete eigenfunctions (Routh-Romanovski polynomials) and eigenfunctions related to the continuous part of the spectrum of the negative innitesimal generator of observed diusion.
Strictureplasty

Strictureplasty in patients with Crohn’s disease is an option in the colorectal surgeon’s armamentarium for ﬁbrostenotic obstructive disease. Common types include the Heineke–Mikulicz strictureplasty, Finney strictureplasty, and the side-to-side isoperistaltic strictureplasty. The procedure has potential for signiﬁcant morbidity; therefore, it should be chosen for the patient carefully. Strictureplasty complements bowel resection in Crohn’s disease; it is an excellent procedure to reduce the risk of developing short-bowel syndrome and its associated complications.
Esc her-Like Tiling Pattern Design by Interactive Iterative Genetic Algorithm

This paper proposes a system for Escher-like tiling design, in which a user draws a desirable pattern shape image. Due to the hard constraints of the tiling design, it is difficult to produce a pattern shape which is sufficiently similar to the given one and satisfies the tiling constraints. The proposed system therefore iterates drawing the desirable pattern shape with the user and searching for feasible pattern shapes by interactive iterative Genetic Algorithm.
The Singularity Detection of Stress Wave Signal in One-dimensional Components Based on Quantitative Information Entropy

According to existing methods of singularity detection in stress wave signal, raise and define the quantitative information entropy and the mean vector model of Information entropy, the definitions are based on probability theory and mathematical statistical theory and information entropy, Define the method of singularity detection based on the quantitative information entropy. This method is tested and simulated using stress wave of pile detection and compared with the modulus maxima method. The experimental results show that the quantitative information entropy method has advantages in anti-noise performance and can achieve a high accuracy and locations information compared with the modulus maxima method. In the quantitative information entropy method, multidimensional signal is processed by dimensionality reduction and can be widely applied to various research fields, such as fingerprint identification and facial identification.
Chorea Huntington - Der nicht alltägliche Fall bei „unklarer Bewusstseinsstörung”

den, er sei nach seiner Erinnerung bislang symptomfrei gewesen. Dem Patienten wurde ein peripher-venöser Zugang gelegt und zur Sedierung 5 mg Haloperidol verabreicht. Die nunmehr erfolgte Kontrolle des Blutzuckerspiegels erbrachte einen normoglykämischen Wert. Unter Sedierung erfolgte die Einweisung des Patienten in eine neurologische Fachklinik mit der Arbeitsdiagnose „Verdacht des beginnendes Psychosyndroms bei Erstmanifestation einer Chorea Huntington“. In der Notaufnahme erschien der Patient zwar bewusstseinsklarer und ausreichend orientiert, wirkte jedoch im Denkablauf noch leicht verworren. Es bestand weiter ein TIC-artiges Zucken des linken Augenlides und der Gesichts-Halsmuskulatur. Im weiteren neurologischen Befund fanden sich an pathologischen Veränderungen ein deutlich gesteigerter Muskeldehnungsreflex der oberen und unteren Extremitäten, ein beidseitig verlangsamter und hypometrischer Finger-NaseVersuch, eine beidseitige Dysdiadochokinese sowie ein ebenfalls beidseitig unsicherer Knie-HackeVersuch. Laborchemisch war nur eine Creatinkinase (CK) von 270 U/l (Normwert: < 171 U/l) auffällig.
Dichotomy and positivity of neutral equations with nonautonomous past

where the function u(· , ·) takes values in a Banach space X. Under appropriate conditions on the difference operator F and the delay operator Φ we prove that the solution semigroup for this system of equations is hyperbolic (or admits an exponential dichotomy) provided that the backward evolution family U = (U(t, s))t≤s≤0 generated by A(s) is uniformly exponentially stable and the operator B generates a hyperbolic semigroup (e)t≥0 on X. Furthermore, under the positivity conditions on (e)t≥0, U , F and Φ we prove that the above-mentioned solution semigroup is positive and then show a sufficient condition for the exponential stability of this solution semigroup.
Protection Devices Currently Used during Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting

The use of stents for revascularization is becoming the standard of care in many vascular territories. One of the concerns with angioplasty and stenting of atherosclerotic lesions are thromboembolic complications. In the last few years a number of protection devices (PDs) have been developed. This report reviews the current status of PDs during carotid artery stenting.

Acoplamiento de Modelos Unidimensionales y Multidimensionales para la Resolución de Problemas Hemodinámicos

In this work a method for direct coupling one-dimensional with multidimensional models of the Human Arterial Dynamic is presented The main purpose is to provide the more detailed multidimensional zones with appropriate boundary conditions coming from the global lD model. The Finite Element Method is used to numerically solve the resulting reduced and complete Navier-Stokes equations in compliant domains. An application to the analysis of a simulated stenotic arterial disease in the Common Carotid Artery is included. showing the occurrence of a non-stationary vortex downstream the stenosis, a fact that is impossible to capture with the ID model. Substantial changes in pulse waveforms are observed, suggesting the possibility of using them in early detection of the arterial obstruction.
Bringt die Manuelle Therapie in Kombination mit Trainingstherapie bei Patienten mit Gonarthrose einen Mehrwert gegenüber der alleinigen Trainingstherapie?1

Abstract ! Among other things physiotherapeutic treat-ment of patients with gonarthrosis often uses exercise therapy and manual techniques. This literature review investigated whether a combination of manual therapy and exercise therapy yields additional benefit compared to exercise therapy alone. Currently little significant evidence exists to answer this question. There are, however, indications that the combination of assessment-oriented manual therapeutic treat-ment and exercise therapy can lead to positive effects concerning pain and function within a few weeks. Additionally patients seem to be more content with the overall treatment result and seem to need less medication in the long term.
Order norms on bounded partially ordered sets.

In this paper, we extend the domains of affirmation and negation operators, and more important, of triangular (semi)norms and (semi)conorms from the unit interval to bounded partially ordered sets. The fundamental properties of the original operators are proven to be conserved under this extension. This clearly shows that they are essentially based upon order-theoretic notions. Consequently, a rather general ordertheoretic invariance study of these operators is undertaken. Also, in a brief algebraic excursion, the notion of weak invertibility of these operators is introduced, and the relation with the order-theoretic concept of residuals is studied. The importance of these results for fuzzy set theory and possibility theory is briefly discussed.
The management of blunt pancreatic injury in children in New South Wales

Abstract Background: Blunt pancreatic injury is uncommon but associated with considerable morbidity. The optimal management strategy for children with this injury remains unclear, with laparotomy rates in North America of up to 55%. This has not been studied at a population level in Australia. This study aimed to examine the management of children with blunt pancreatic injury in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Methods: Using the NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection from 2001 to 2019, we identified patients <16 years old with blunt pancreatic injury. Cases were categorised as undergoing non-operative or operative management. Patient and injury characteristics and outcomes were compared between non-operative and operative groups. Independent predictors of operative management were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results: 139 cases were identified: 37 (26.6%) underwent operative management, of whom 11 (29.7%) had a pancreas-specific operation. Two-thirds were managed at a paediatric trauma centre. Operation rates were highest in adult trauma centres, although treatment outside a paediatric trauma centre overall was not associated with operative management. Independent predictors of operative management were high-grade pancreatic injury, hollow viscus injury and transfusion. Morbidity and mortality were 30.2% and 1.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Blunt pancreatic injury continues to carry substantial morbidity. Operation rates in NSW are lower than those reported in North America, with similar outcomes. Unlike other solid organ injuries, most children are managed at paediatric trauma centres. Future studies should investigate factors driving management decisions in the Australian context, with the aim of developing paediatric guidelines promoting non-operative management.
