TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the finite element approximation of the 2D elasticity problem when the Poisson ratiov is close to 0.5 and characterized the strength of the locking and robustness of various h-version schemes using triangular and rectangular elements.
Abstract: We consider the finite element approximation of the 2D elasticity problem when the Poisson ratiov is close to 0.5. It is well-known that the performance of certain commonly used finite elements deteriorates asv?0, a phenomenon calledlocking. We analyze this phenomenon and characterize the strength of the locking androbustness of varioush-version schemes using triangular and rectangular elements. We prove that thep-andh-p versions are free of locking with respect to the error in the energy norm. A generalization of our theory to the 3D problem is also discussed.

TL;DR: Yawning was induced by instructing subjects to "think about" or "read about" yawning as mentioned in this paper, which was consistent in duration (X = 5.9 s), periodic (X interyawn interval = 68.3 s), and within-subject stability in yawn duration and frequency was maintained for at least several weeks.
Abstract: Yawning was induced by instructing subjects to “think about yawning.” Yawns were consistent in duration (X = 5.9 s), periodic (X interyawn interval = 68.3 s), and within-subject stability in yawn duration and frequency was maintained for at least several weeks. These and other characteristics qualified yawning as a stereotyped action pattern. Although visually observed yawns were potent yawn releasing stimuli, “thinking about” or reading about yawning also elicited yawning and were additional vectors for its “infectiousness.” The respiratory, stretching and “imitative” aspects of yawning were also evaluated.

TL;DR: A family of new transforms based on imitating the proximal mapping of Moreau and the associated Moreau-Yosida proximal approximation of a function are introduced, providing a fairly general framework for constructing approximation and smoothing schemes for optimization problems.
Abstract: We introduce a family of new transforms based on imitating the proximal mapping of Moreau and the associated Moreau-Yosida proximal approximation of a function. The transforms are constructed in terms of the A†-divergence functional a generalization of the relative entropy and of Bregman's measure of distance. An analogue of Moreau's theorem associated with these entropy-like distances is proved. We show that the resulting Entropic Proximal Maps share properties similar to the proximal mapping and provide a fairly general framework for constructing approximation and smoothing schemes for optimization problems. Applications of the results to the construction of generalized augmented Lagrangians for nonlinear programs and the minimax problem are presented.

TL;DR: The present classification scheme recognizes the rapid evolution of molecular biology and novel therapeutic approaches in cardiology, as well as the introduction of many recently described diseases, and is unique in that it incorporates ion channelopathies as a primary cardiomyopathy in consensus with a recent American Heart Association Scientific Statement.
Abstract: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Office of Rare Diseases at the National Institutes of Health organized a workshop (September 14 to 15, 2006, in Bethesda, Md) to advise on new research directions needed for improved identification and treatment of rare inherited arrhythmias. These included the following: (1) Na+ channelopathies; (2) arrhythmias due to K+ channel mutations; and (3) arrhythmias due to other inherited arrhythmogenic mechanisms. Another major goal was to provide recommendations to support, enable, or facilitate research to improve future diagnosis and management of inherited arrhythmias. Classifications of electric heart diseases have proved to be exceedingly complex and in many respects contradictory. A new contemporary and rigorous classification of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies is proposed. This consensus report provides an important framework and overview to this increasingly heterogeneous group of primary cardiac membrane channel diseases. Of particular note, the present classification scheme recognizes the rapid evolution of molecular biology and novel therapeutic approaches in cardiology, as well as the introduction of many recently described diseases, and is unique in that it incorporates ion channelopathies as a primary cardiomyopathy in consensus with a recent American Heart Association Scientific Statement.

TL;DR: In this paper, measurements from the MODIS Terra at the short wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths (1240 and 1640 nm) are used to evaluate the ocean contributions at wavelengths 748 and 869 nm.
Abstract: [1] Atmospheric correction for the ocean color products derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) uses two near-infrared (NIR) bands centered at 748 and 869 nm. Ocean is usually assumed to be black at these two NIR wavelengths. For Case-2 and high productive Case-1 waters, however, ocean could have significant contributions in the NIR, leading to significant under-estimation of the MODIS-derived water-leaving radiances. This is often the case in coastal regions. In this paper, measurements from the MODIS Terra at the short wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths (1240 and 1640 nm) are used to evaluate the ocean contributions at wavelengths 748 and 869 nm. The ocean is black in coastal regions in these SWIR bands due to much stronger water absorption. Studies of two MODIS granules off the east coast of the U.S. show that the ocean could have reflectance values of ∼3.1% and ∼1.8% at the top of atmosphere (TOA) for bands 748 and 869 nm in the Outer Banks, while these values are ∼0.15% and ∼0.1% in the Chesapeake Bay region. Thus, for the turbid waters, it is important to accurately account for the ocean contributions in the NIR bands for the atmospheric correction of ocean color remote sensing.
