Objectives: Although an association has been found recently between obsessive-compulsive disorder and an increased risk of suicide, the prevalence of both suicidal ideation and attempts vary considerably and are generally assessed categorically.Our aims were to evaluate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviors using a dimensional approach.
Traditional flexure hinges are designed by using a single material, and their performance is inadequate, compared to the ideal hinge.This paper presents a topology-optimization design method for multi-material flexure hinges based on the element stacking method.A topology optimization model for multi-material flexure hinges is constructed to find t
Abstract Brainstem dysfunctions are very common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and are a critical predictive factor for future disability.Brainstem functionality can be explored with blink reflexes, subcortical responses consisting in a blink following a peripheral stimulation.Some reflexes are already employed in clinical practice, such as Trigeminal
The acquisition of human trajectories facilitates movement data analytics and location-based services, but gaps in trajectories limit the extent in which many tracking datasets can be utilized.We present a model to estimate place visit probabilities at time points within a gap, based on hot priest costume empirical mobility patterns derived from pa
Background: Dental caries and decay caused by Streptococcus mutans.Sucrose, stimulates S.mutans to yield insoluble glucans to form oral biofilm also called dental plaque to start process of caries.The GtfB and LuxS genes of S.mutans are opi mauvnetic poles responsible for development and evolution of biofilm.Lactobacillus plantarum as probiotic can
