Abstract Background There is convincing evidence that unhealthy food marketing is extensive on television and in digital media, uses powerful persuasive techniques, and impacts dietary choices and consumption, particularly in children.It is less clear whether this is also the case for outdoor food marketing.This review (i) identifies common criteri
Optimum Path Synthesis of a Geared Five-Bar Mechanism
Most studies on path synthesis problems are to trace simple or smooth trajectories.In this work, an optimum synthesis for several special trajectories generated by a geared five-bar mechanism is studied using the one-phase synthesis method.The synthesis problem for the special trajectories, which is originally studied using the two-phase synthesis
Numerical stochastic perturbation theory applied to the twisted Eguchi-Kawai model
Abstract We present the results of an exploratory study of the numerical stochastic perturbation theory (NSPT) applied to the four dimensional twisted Eguchi-Kawai (TEK) model.We employ a Kramers type algorithm based on the Generalized Hybrid Molecular Dynamics (GHMD) algorithm.We have computed the perturbative expansion of square Wilson loops up t
Essentials of nimodipine in neurocritical care patients
Nimodipine is a drug belonging to the group of calcium channel blockers, very well tolerated, widely recognized for its central action as a vasodilator preventing vasospasm secondary to aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.It is currently approved as a drug used in the treatment of this type of haemorrhage, mainly because it is effective in reducing
Spike-threshold adaptation predicted by membrane potential dynamics in vivo.
Neurons encode information in sequences of spikes, which are triggered when their membrane potential crosses a threshold.In vivo, the spiking threshold displays large variability suggesting that threshold dynamics have a profound influence on how the combined input of a soiebiologique.com neuron is encoded in the spiking.Threshold variability could
