A disturbance in the electrochemical activity of the discharging cells of the brain produced by a variety of neurological disorders The causes are not clear These electrochemical disturbances usually result in a seizure of some degree Petit mal - a mild form in which dizziness or staring into space takes place Grand mal - a seizure in which there are severe convulsions and loss of consciousness or coma Jacksonian - spasms mainly limited to one side of the body and often to one group of muscles Psychomotor - patient performs motor acts which he cannot remember having done
Epilepsy is a brain condition which causes a person to suddenly lose consciousness and sometimes to have fits. a medical condition affecting your brain, that can make you suddenly become unconscious or unable to control your movements for a short time (épilepsie, from epilepsia, from epilambanein ). Neurological disorder caused by paroxysmal malfunction of neurons in the brain (seizures). It is characterized by strange movements or sensations in parts of the body, odd behaviours, emotional disturbances, and sometimes convulsions and momentary lapses of consciousness. Seizures may result from abnormal electrical activity in most or all of the brain (generalized), or they may originate in a specific brain area (partial). Causes include brain tumours, infections, genetic or developmental abnormalities, stroke, and head trauma, although no cause can be found in most cases. Treatment is usually with anticonvulsant medications; brain surgery may be beneficial if drugs cannot control seizures
—A disorder of the nervous system in which abnormal electrical activity in the brain causes seizures (sudden uncontrolled waves of electrical activity in the brain, causing involuntary movement or loss of consciousness)
A disorder of the nervous system, characterised either by mild, episodic loss of attention or sleepiness or by severe convulsions with loss of consciousness
so called because the patient falls suddenly to the ground; a disease characterized by paroxysms (or fits) occurring at interval and attended by sudden loss of consciousness, and convulsive motions of the muscles
Sudden excitation that spreads through the brain and causes recurrent seizures that can severely impair a person's quality of life It affects some 100 million people worldwide, and about 30% of those stricken have a severe form of the disease that results in more than 100 seizures per day
also known as seizure disorder Individuals with epilepsy experience seizures, which are the result of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain A seizure may cause a physical convulsion, minor physical signs, thought disturbances, or a combination of symptoms
Synthetic Aperture Radar A radar imaging system in which high resolution in the azimuth direction is achieved by using Doppler shift of backscattered waves to identify waves from ahead and behind the platform, thereby simulating a very long antenna Available on both satellite (ERS, RADARSAT) and airborne platforms
A report sent to the student about five weeks after they submit their FAFSA This report notifies the student of their Pell Grant eligibility and must be signed and sent to the Office of Financial Aid
The Student Aid Report is a document containing financial and other information you reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Your eligibility for aid is indicated by the EFC printed on the front of the SAR
A federal output document generated by the FAFSA processor and mailed to the student The SAR contains the family's financial information and other information as reported by the student on the FAFSA The student's eligibility for financial aid is indicated by the EFC printed on the front of the SAR
Segmentation and Re-assembly Optional features of the Wireless Transport Protocol (WTP) used to split large WTP messages into a number of smaller datagrams (with resend for failed datagrams), thereby improving the transmission efficiency of downloading large messages to a phone
Student Aid Report A federal output document sent to the student by the central processor The SAR contains all the information the student reported on the FAFSA and the resulting EFC
A SAR or Student Aid Report is an acknowledgement sent to the student after filing a FAFSA The SAR summarizes the information included in the FAFSA and may be requested by your school's OSFA The SAR will also indicate the amount of Pell Grant eligibility, if any
The Student Aid Report sent by the Department of Education to the student after applying for financial aid, which determines eligibility for a Pell Grant Also known as ISIR (Institutional Student Aid Report)
Specific absorption rates SAR measures the amount of radio frequency emissions absorbed by human tissue when using your cell phone SAR data is used by clinical researchers studying the potential relationship between wireless phones and cancer Importantly, government and independent agency studies have shown no evidence of a link between the use of wireless handsets and any harmful effects on human health
