Dysphagia of vascular origin is termed dysphagia lusoria and it is relatively uncommon. Amongst the vascular causes, aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common. This case illustrates the usefulness of imaging in the investigation of dysphagic patient for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of the condition.Introduction Dysphag

We introduce generalized quantum Markov states and generalized d-Markov chains which extend the notion quantum Markov chains on spin systems to that on C∗-algebras defined by general graphs. As examples of generalized d Markov chains, we construct the entangled Markov fields on tree graphs. The concrete examples of generalized d-Markov chains on

In an ideal corporate management structure, directors should act in the best interest of the shareholders. In doing so, the directors' actions are governed by certain legislation which specifies their duties and this legislation is also relevant to the shareholders with respect to their rights.

There is an increasing demand for claddings which possess an optimized combination of different functional properties such as high hardness, high resistance to wear and oxidation. In this respect, hard TiAlN cladding has gained much attention. These claddings can be suitable replacements for the conventional ceramic coatings applied in many compone
