Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation on Speech and Swallowing in Pediatric Patients with Dystonia

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bilateral globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a proven safe and effective treatment in certain forms of idiopathic or inherited dystonia (ID/IN). Its effects in acquired dystonia such as in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) however vary widely.

Dual Variational Problems and Action Principles for Chen–Lee and Hopf–Langford Systems

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe the construction of dual variational principles and action functionals for nonlinear dynamical systems using a methodology based on the dual Lagrange multiplier formalism and a convex optimization approach, to derive families of dual actions that correspond to the given nonlinear ordinary differential system.

An alternative measure of economic inequality under the Lorenz curve framework in analogue to the index of refraction of geometrical optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Index of refraction is found to be a good measure of economic inequality within the Lorenz curve framework. It has origin in geometrical optics, where it measures bending of a ray of light passing from one transparent medium into another.

Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...
