Bilateral vestibulopathy has had several names, paralleling growing numbers of publications and interest in its pathophysiology and treatment. The condition was formerly Dandy syndrome, eponymously associated with neurosurgeon Walter Dandy who worked at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1918 to 1946. Having developed expertise in vestibular schwannoma surgery, Dandy became interested in vesti…
The Bikol language of the Philippines, spoken in the southernmost peninsula of Luzon Island and extending into the island provinces of Catanduanes and Masbate, is presented in this bilingual dictionary. An introduction explains the Bikol alphabet, orthographic representation (including policies adopted in writing Spanish and English loan words), foreign sounds in Bikol, and Bikol phonology.
In the theory of stationary spatial point processes, Palm distributions are used to describe the point process seen from one of its points. Such an intrinsic frame of reference is not only interesting for theoretical considerations, but also useful in related fields such as queuing theory and stochastic geometry.
In her first inquiry toward a decelerationist aesthetics, Katherine Behar explores in this essay chapbook the rise of two “big deal” contemporary phenomena, big data and obesity. In both, scale rearticulates the human as a diffuse informational pattern, causing important shifts in political form as well as aesthetic form. Bigness redraws relationships between the singular and the collective.
What is at stake in this chapter is my desire to understand and systematise the conditions for the spread and acceptance as well as the rejection of knowledge. The notion of knowledge is here taken in its broad and classical Platonian sense as justified true belief, still a workable definition
This chapter introduces the humanities and information technology as an area and the digital humanities (DH) as an institutional endeavor. It starts out with an overview of the field, some personal key encounters, and a working definition of the digital humanities

Extracellular ATP is currently recognized as one of the most widely distributed neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in the peripheral and central nervous system. ATP-gated P2X receptors are expressed by neurons, glial and many other non-neuronal cells and represent an attractive target for therapeutic interventions. Diverse molecular and cellular mechanisms have been identified for P2X recept…
