On the Brauer-Manin Obstruction Applied to Ramified Covers [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
The Brauer-Manin obstruction is used to explain the failure of the local-global principle for algebraic varieties. In 1999 Skorobogatov gave the first example of a variety that does not satisfy the local-global principle which is not explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction.

Homotopy Obstructions to Rational Points [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
In this paper we propose to use a relative variant of the notion of the \'{e}tale homotopy type of an algebraic variety in order to study the existence of rational points on it. In particular, we use an appropriate notion of homotopy fixed points in order to construct obstructions to the local-global principle.

Determinants of Infant Growth in a Birth Cohort in the Nepal Plains

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This study aimed to identify the determinants of infant growth in terms of length‐for‐age z‐score (LAZ) in a birth cohort (n = 602) in the plains of Nepal. We found that maternal factors related to both the environment in‐utero and in postnatal life were the most important determinants of infant growth.

Computing Euler obstruction functions using maximum likelihood degrees [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We give a numerical algorithm computing Euler obstruction functions using maximum likelihood degrees. The maximum likelihood degree is a well-studied property of a variety in algebraic statistics and computational algebraic geometry. In this article we use this degree to give a new way to compute Euler obstruction functions.

Guiding medical trainees' workplace learning for interprofessional collaboration—Looking to physicians or seeing nurses?

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Effective healthcare practice requires interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between all members of the healthcare team. Preparing healthcare trainees for IPC has proven to be difficult. Research suggests that workplace learning has a vital role in acquiring IPC competencies.

RENZI SCORE FOR OBSTRUCTED DEFECATION SYNDROME - VALIDATION OF THE PORTUGUESE VERSION ACCORDING TO THE COSMIN CHECKLIST

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia
BACKGROUND: Recently, the Obstructed Defecation Syndrome score (ODS score) was developed and validated by Renzi to assess clinical staging and to allow evaluation and comparison of the efficacy of treatment of this disorder.

Power, Control, and Data Acquisition Systems for Rectal Simulator Integrated with Soft Pouch Actuators [PDF]

arXiv
Fecal incontinence (FI) is a significant health issue with various underlying causes. Research in this field is limited by social stigma and the lack of effective replication models. To address these challenges, we developed a sophisticated rectal simulator that integrates power, control, and data acquisition systems with soft pouch actuators.
