Jaundice The medical term for it is "icterus", from the Greek word "ίκτερος"; adjectival form, icteric. Jaundice Jaundice, also known as icterus, is a yellowish or greenish pigmentation of the skin and whites of the eyes due to high bilirubin levels. It is commonly associated with itchiness. The feces may be pale and the urine dark. Jaundice in babies occurs in over half in the first week following birth and in most is not a problem. If bilirubin levels in babies are very high for too long, a type of brain damage, known as kernicterus, may occur. Causes of jaundice vary
Robin boundary condition dimension, if, for example, Ω = [0,1], the Robin boundary condition becomes the conditions: Notice the change of sign in front of the term involving a derivative: that is because the normal to [0,1] at 0 points in the negative direction, while at 1 it points in the positive direction. Robin boundary conditions are commonly used in solving Sturm–Liouville problems which appear in many contexts in science and engineering. In addition, the Robin boundary condition is a general form of the insulating boundary condition for convection–diffusion equations. Here, the convective and diffusive fluxes at the boundary sum to zero: where
