Exploring end-of-life decision-making in China for disorders of consciousness
Objectives We aim to investigate the ethical attitudes of the Chinese population toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment (WLST) in disorders of consciousness (DoC) patients.Methods A self-administered questionnaire concerning WLST was distributed ...

Data-driven wake model parameter estimation to analyze effects of wake superposition [PDF]
Low-fidelity wake models are used for wind farm design and control optimization. To generalize to a wind farm model, individually-modeled wakes are commonly superimposed using approximate superposition models. Wake models parameterize atmospheric and wake turbulence, introducing unknown model parameters that historically are tuned with idealized ...

The Past and Future of Psychiatric Sleep Research
Sleep studies in psychiatric disorders date back to the first half of the 20th century. So far, success in establishing disease-specific sleep-related biomarkers has been quite limited.

Validation of the dynamic wake meandering model against large eddy simulation for horizontal and vertical steering of wind turbine wakes [PDF]
This work focuses on the validation of the dynamic wake meandering (DWM) model against large eddy simulation (LES). The wake deficit, mean deflection, and meandering under different wind turbine misalignment angles in yaw and tilt, for the IEA 15MW wind turbine, for two turbulent inflows with different shear and turbulence intensities are compared ...

Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force publishes educational case reports that highlight basic aspects of neuroimaging in epilepsy, consistent with ILAE's educational mission. In patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who are candidates for surgical intervention, the identification of structural abnormalities is a strong predictor of favorable ...

Wake response to an ocean-feedback mechanism: Madeira Island case study [PDF]
This discussion focused on the numerical study of a wake episode. The Weather Research and Forecasting model was used in a downscale mode. The current literature focuses the discussion on the adiabatic dynamics of atmospheric wakes. Changes in mountain height and consequently on its relation to the atmospheric inversion layer should explain the shift ...

Dual enhancement mechanisms for overnight motor memory consolidation [PDF]
Our brains are constantly processing past events<sup>1</sup>. These offline processes consolidate memories, leading in the case of motor skill memories to an enhancement in performance between training sessions.

Abstract Objective The systematic use of pulsatile corticosteroid therapy (PCT) in children with drug‐resistant epilepsy has been shown to reduce epileptic activity. However, it remains unclear how long this effect will last. The objective of this study was therefore to evaluate the stability of the effect of PCT by assessing the interictal epileptic ...

REM sleep deprivation during 5 hours leads to an immediate REM sleep rebound and to suppression of non-REM sleep intensity [PDF]
Nine healthy male subjects were deprived of REM sleep during the first 5 h after sleep onset. Afterwards recovery sleep was undisturbed. During the deprivation period the non-REM EEG power spectrum was reduced when compared to baseline for the ...
