ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

Airfoil Aerodynamics in Proximity to Wavy Ground for a Wide Range of Angles of Attack
Wing-in-ground craft often encounter waves when flying over the sea surface, and the ground effect is more complicated than that of flat ground. Therefore, the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA 4412 airfoil in proximity to wavy ground for a wide ...

The influences of environmental conditions on source localisation using a single vertical array and their exploitation through ground effect inversion [PDF]
The performance of microphone arrays outdoors is influenced by the environmental conditions. Numerical simulations indicate that, while horizontal arrays are hardly affected, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with vertical arrays becomes biased in ...

Assessment of static and dynamic stresses horse-shoe tunnel with connecting gallery using finite element method: (as a case study) [PDF]
This paper illustrates the use of MIDAS GTS NX to investigate the tunnel’s simulation in order to highlight the effect of static and dynamic load on the behaviour of tunnel to compare this response expressed in terms of displacement and stresses ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Chemoimmunotherapy with irinotecan, temozolomide, and dinutuximab (I/T/DIN) has emerged as first‐line therapy for relapsed/refractory (r/r) high‐risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) in North America. Topotecan and cyclophosphamide (T/C) are often used in combination with dinutuximab in the setting of lack of response, progression, or incomplete ...

Lifting-Line Predictions for Optimal Dihedral Distributions in Ground Effect
When a flying wing comes within close proximity to the ground, a phenomenon called ground effect occurs where the lift is increased and the induced drag is decreased. This research seeks to determine the optimal dihedral distribution predicted by lifting-

A study of the effects of ground cover on overwintering slug populations and effect of coulter design on slug incidence in direct drilling : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University [PDF]
A two stage study involving the effect of vegetation cover on overwintering slug populations, and the effect of coulter design on slug incidence and damage in a direct drilled cereal was carried out during the 1980/81 growring season.

Fractional Quantum Hall Effect States as Exact Ground States
We construct many particle Hamiltonians for which the Laughlin and Jain wavefunctions are exact ground states. The Hamiltonians involve fermions in a magnetic field and with inter-particle interactions.

Density functional electronic spectrum of the $Cu O_{-6}^{-10}$ cluster and possible local Jahn-Teller distorsions in the La-Ba-Cu-O superconductor [PDF]
We present a density functional theory (DFT) calculation in the generalized gradient approximation to study the possibility for the existence of Jahn-Teller (JT) or pseudo Jahn-Teller (PJT) type local distortions in the La-Ba-Cu-O superconducting system.
