Serotonin Syndrome In Acute Transverse Myelitis: A Casereport, Pei-Chun Hsieh, Jo-Tong Chen, Ta-Shen Kuan, Shu-Min Chen Dec 2011

Serotonin Syndrome In Acute Transverse Myelitis: A Casereport, Pei-Chun Hsieh, Jo-Tong Chen, Ta-Shen Kuan, Shu-Min Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Numerous serotonergic drugs have been increasingly used in recent years to treat depression, pain, insomnia and obesity. However, concomitant use of these drugs may cause serotonin syndrome. The three main clinical features of serotonin syndrome are neuromuscular abnormalities, autonomic hyperactivity, and mental status changes. A wide variety of the clinical presentations range from: very mild symptoms such as tremor, diarrhea, muscle rigidity, or clonus, and hyperreflexia; to fatal consequences such as disseminated intravascular coagulation or multiple-organ failure. Symptoms resolve spontaneously after prompt discontinuation of the precipitating medication. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, history of medication, and resolution after …


Stimulated Creation Of Quanta During Inflation And The Observable Universe, Ivan Agullo, Leonard Parker Dec 2011

Stimulated Creation Of Quanta During Inflation And The Observable Universe, Ivan Agullo, Leonard Parker

Faculty Publications

Inflation provides a natural mechanism to account for the origin of cosmic structures. The generation of primordial inhomogeneities during inflation can be understood via the spontaneous creation of quanta from the vacuum. We show that when the corresponding stimulated creation of quanta is considered, the characteristics of the state of the universe at the onset of inflation are not diluted by the inflationary expansion and can be imprinted in the spectrum of primordial inhomogeneities. The non-gaussianities (particularly in the so-called squeezed configuration) in the cosmic microwave background and galaxy distribution can then tell us about the state of the universe …

Local Negotiation With Heterogeneous Groundwater Users, Gordon C. Rausser, Susan Stratton Sayre, Leo K. Simon Dec 2011

Local Negotiation With Heterogeneous Groundwater Users, Gordon C. Rausser, Susan Stratton Sayre, Leo K. Simon

Economics: Faculty Publications

This paper assesses the political implications of intra-aquifer heterogeneity in the benefits and costs of optimal groundwater management. We use simulation modeling to predict groundwater extraction regimes under two alternative local decision-making structures and compare these structures to optimal management. Local collective action performs poorly when the intra-aquifer disparity in the potential gains is large. Moreover, large intra-aquifer disparity is generally associated with large potential gains. As a result, local collective action is unlikely to be successful in capturing the largest welfare gains. Individual subregions within a groundwater basin almost always benefit most from political structures whose outcomes diverge from …

Governance Role For Maintaining Competitiveness Of Korean Shipbuilding Industry, Dong Hwang Hwang Dec 2011

Governance Role For Maintaining Competitiveness Of Korean Shipbuilding Industry, Dong Hwang Hwang

World Maritime University Dissertations

Although the global shipbuilding market faces a severe recession due to the shrinkage of international trade, the shipbuilding industry in Korea has contributed to economic growth and employment. Influences of government on the shipbuilding industry have dimmed and every stakeholder manages their own way without direction from the perspective of national interest. On the other hand, the mandatory reduction of CO2 emissions from ships was adopted by IMO in 2011. All possible technologies for energy efficient ships would be considered and major shipbuilding countries have invested in relevant R&D activities. Korean giant shipbuilders have some key technologies for improving fuel …

Quantification Of The Impacts Of Water Hyacinth On Riparian Communities In Cameroon And Assessment Of An Appropriate Method Of Control : The Case Of The Wouri River Basin, Jenette Tifuh. Mujingni Epse Cho

World Maritime University Dissertations

Some plants, when transported to non-endemic areas undergo reproduction and rapid growth and will out-compete native plants and become weeds. These weeds then become troublesome giving rise to socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Water hyacinth (Eicchornia crassipes), one of such weeds is often considered the world’s worst invasive aquatic species of weed, indigenous to the Amazon Basin of South America and has spread over the years to various areas in Africa and Asia. This dissertation analyses the problem of water hyacinth infestation in the Wouri River Basin, done through the quantification of its socio-economic and environmental impacts on riparian communities. It …

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

Some archeological sites in Java, Bali, and Sumatra do not have historical data. This is because during the research, there has not been found any documents relating to the existence of the artifacts. The reconstruction of the relation between the sites and their history were made through analyzing the folk stories and local beliefs about the artifacts. Some of the artifacts are in the forms of temples, gates, water springs (source of holy water during the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in Java), stairs, caves for meditation, and layers of stones, such as found in Candi Bima (the Bima temple), Goa Jaran (the …

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This research note essentially highlights how an argumentation was developed to reveal the implicit tensions that had been part of the American foreign policy maneuvers in Asia-Pacific, and the locus that were expressed have caused controversy. The finding is an effort to formulate analysis of the American foreign policy through an understanding of the nature of paradoxal and tension in the general American foreign policy, specifically in Asia-Pacific. Moreover, the pressures from outside the Asia-Pacific region, have eventually impacted the configuration of the publik officers and the experienced politicians in the locale, who have resulted policies to support the establishment …
