Strain effects at solid surfaces near the melting point
, 2002 We investigate the effects of strain on a crystal surface close to the bulk melting temperature T_m, where surface melting usually sets in. Strain lowers the bulk melting point, so that at a fixed temperature below but close to T_m the thickness of the ...

Stability of the flow around a cylinder: The spin-up problem [PDF]
A concern is the flow around an infinite cylinder, which at a certain instant impulsively starts to spin. The growth of vortices in the resulting boundary layer occurring outside the cylinder is investigated.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since 2015, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital has performed diagnostic testing for infants who screen positive for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) on the Illinois newborn screen. Preliminary diagnostic testing includes measurement of plasma iduronate‐2‐sulfatase enzyme activity and urinary glycosaminoglycan analysis, followed ...

Practical Modeling of Filter Filtration Efficiency
Contributions to Tobacco and Nicotine Research, 1990 A simple and general mathematical model has been developed to calculate filter-filtration efficiency, which is based on practical design parameters: pressure drop, filter dimension, flow rate, and filament denier.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes significant mental and physical distress, yet only a small subset of individuals exposed to trauma develop the disorder. Scientists and clinicians are still unable to predict who will get the disorder or how it will manifest.

Marguerite Yourcenar: from spatial to interior banishment
Revista de Filología Románica, 2012 Marguerite Yourcenar was born in Europe (1903) but spent most of her life in the United States (1939-2007). Is this living abroad, because of the Second World War, enough to consider her a banished person in the strict sense of the word?

The Diagnosis That Arrived Decades Late: Living Without and Then With Myhre Syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MIM #139210) is a rare multisystem disorder first described in 1981, characterized by short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, joint contractures, and cardiopulmonary complications. Its molecular basis, recurrent pathogenic variants in SMAD4, was not discovered until 2011. This narrative is based on a review of medical records,

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and
