Self-energy effects in the Polchinski and Wick-ordered renormalization-group approaches [PDF]
I discuss functional renormalization group (fRG) schemes, which allow for non-perturbative treatment of the self-energy effects and do not rely on the one-particle irreducible functional. In particular, I consider Polchinski or Wick-ordered schemes with amputation of full (instead of bare) Green functions, as well as more general schemes, and ...

Patient-Specific Prosthetic Fingers by Remote Collaboration - A Case Study [PDF]
The concealment of amputation through prosthesis usage can shield an amputee from social stigma and help improve the emotional healing process especially at the early stages of hand or finger loss. However, the traditional techniques in prosthesis fabrication defy this as the patients need numerous visits to the clinics for measurements, fitting and ...
