Patterns of cognitive dysfunction in progressive MS

Background: Progressive MS is associated with a high frequency of cognitive impairment. However, it is not clear to what extent this reflects global dysfunction, or independent deficits in specific functions

Dynamics of D1-brane in I-brane Background

This paper is devoted to the study of the effective field theory description of the probe D1-brane in the background of the system of two stacks of fivebranes in type IIB theory that intersect on $R^{1,1}$. We study the properties of the Dirac-Born-Infeld action for D1-brane moving in this background. We will argue that this action is invariant under an additional symmetry in the near horizon limit and that this new symmetry is closely related to the enhanced symmetry of the I-brane background considered recently in [hep-th/0508025]. We also solve explicitly the equation of motion of D1-brane in the near horizon limit.Comment: 21 pages, references adde
