Introduction: Heterogeneity in cognitive outcomes and response to treatment has been described in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Using the method of mixed models, higher resolution can be obtained to identify potential predictors of long-term outcomes. Aims: To analyse the impact of the APOE genotype, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy and cholinesterase inhibitor treatment (ChEI) on

In this paper transient electromagnetic wave propagation in a stratified, anisotropic, dispersive medium is considered. Specifically, the direct scattering problem is addressed. The dispersive, anisotropic medium is modeled by constitutive relations (a 3 × 3 matrix-valued susceptibility operator)con taining time convolution integrals. In the general case, nine different susceptibility kernels char

A theory of viscoplasticity is formulated within a thermodynamic concept. The key point is the postulate of a dynamic yield surface, which allows us to take advantage of the postulate of maximum dissipation to derive an associated formulation of the evolutions laws for the internal variables without using penalty techniques that only hold in the limit it when viscoplasticity degenerates to invisci

This paper examines the impact of mutual inductance and parasitic capacitance on the phase-error performance for a class of CMOS quadrature voltage-controlled oscillators (QVCOs). Good agreement is found between theory, post-layout simulations, and measurement results. The QVCOs were implemented in a standard 0.35/spl mu/m CMOS process. All QVCOs display a center frequency of 2 GHz and a tuning ra

Majority of Malaysian motorcycle fatalities have occurred along straight road sections, which are mostly two-lane undivided roads with several small junctions or access points. In order to gain more insight into the actual road traffic situation and the course of events on these sites because, an observational and traffic conflict study, focusing on motorcyclists, was conducted by the author betwe

The use of industrial robots in the aircraft industry has been hampered by a combination of poor accuracy of the robots and poor calibration of the workcell, and also manufacturing variability in composite parts. A way to handle these difficulties is using force control. An experimental case where a semi-compliant rib is aligned to multiple surfaces is used as an example to show this. The constrai
