On Special Berwald Metrics [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics which contains the class of Berwald metrics as a special case. We prove that every Finsler metric in this class is a generalized Douglas-Weyl metric.

Quasi-metric and metric spaces [PDF]
Conformal Geometry and Dynamics of the American Mathematical Society, 2006 We give a short review of a construction of Frink to obtain a metric space from a quasi-metric space. By an example we illustrate the limits of the construction.

Health system strategies to increase HIV screening among pregnant women in Mesoamerica
Population Health Metrics, 2018 Background To propose health system strategies to meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on HIV screening through antenatal care (ANC) services, we assessed predictors of HIV screening, and simulated the impact of changes in these ...

On length spectrum metrics and weak metrics on Teichmüller spaces of surfaces with boundary [PDF]
, 2009 We define and study metrics and weak metrics on the Teichmüller space of a surface of topologically finite type with boundary. These metrics and weak metrics are associated to the hyperbolic length spectrum of simple closed curves and of properly ...

Metric topological groups: their metric approximation and metric ultraproducts [PDF]
Groups, Geometry, and Dynamics, 2018 We define a metric ultraproduct of topological groups with left-invariant metric, and show that there is a countable sequence of finite groups with left-invariant metric whose metric ultraproduct contains isometrically as a subgroup every separable topological group with left-invariant metric.

Percept of the duration of a vibrotactile stimulus is altered by changing its amplitude
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015 There have been numerous studies conducted on time perception. However, very few of these have involved tactile stimuli to assess a subject’s capacity for duration discrimination. Previous optical imaging studies in non-human primates demonstrated that
