Parkinson's Disease Gene Screening in Familial Cases from Central and South America. [PDF]
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease following Alzheimer's disease. Nearly 30 causative genes have been identified for PD and related disorders. However, most of these genes were identified in European‐derived families, and little is known about their role in Latin American populations ...

Existence threshold for the ac-driven damped nonlinear Schr\"odinger solitons
It has been known for some time that solitons of the externally driven, damped nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation can only exist if the driver's strength, $h$, exceeds approximately $(2/ \pi) \gamma$, where $\gamma$ is the dissipation coefficient. Although
