Basic management skills

Speaking about basic management skills it is very important to mention that all they are applied all over the world. In general overview they might be divided in planning, organizing, directing, coordinating and reporting. All skills to be used in professional field need respect, understanding and involvement

Features of clinics and therapy of secondary meningoencephalitis in traumatic brain injury

Objective. To increase efficacy of treatment of patients with secondary meningoencephalitis (SME) during intermediate period of traumatic brain injury (TBI) by including intratecal methods into complex of intensive care.Materials and methods. It is shown the results of examination and treatment of 23 patients with SME within intermediate period of TBI. Manifestations of SME were kept more than 2 months in the most of patients despite on intensive therapy they had received within acute period, which definitely increased patients’ condition after TBI, complicated prognosis for live and recover.Results. Predictors for prolonged, palindromic course of SME for this patients were: nasty TBI, liquorrhea, resistance of microflora to used antibacterial medicines, development of other intracranial complications such as abscess, hidrocephaly, ventriculitis. It is demonstrated a necessity of timely updating of traditional systemic antibacterial therapy by intrathecal one to efective sanation of liquor, correction of liquor pressure and dynamic monitoring of liquorologic indices.Conclusions. Recommended tactic of treatment allowed receive durable positive clinical and liquorological effect in 73.9% of patients even on second week of therapy. It was diagnosed virus-bacerial mixt-infection in 17.4% of incidences for patients with SME due to reactivation of herpesviruses, which is necessary to take into account for diagnostic and treatment of SME

Very low mass microcables for the ALICE silicon strip detector

Proposal of abstract for LEB99, Snowmass, Colorado, 20-24 September 1999The ALICE Inner Tracker (ITS) silicon strip layers will use kapton/aluminium microcables (12/14 um thickness) exclusively for all interconnections to and from the front-end chips and hybrids, completely eliminating traditional wirebonding. Benefits are increased robustness and an extra degree of dimensional freedom. Utilising a low-power, low temperature and low-force (10-15 grams) single-point TAB bonding process, aluminium traces are directly bonded through bonding windows in the kapton foil to bond pads on the chips and the hybrid. The same technique is also used to interconnect these microcables to create multi-layer bus structures with "bonded via's". A double-sided strip detector using prototype cables has been installed in the NA57 experiment in 1998

First mock-up of the CBM STS module based on a new assembly concept

A molecular dynamics model has been developed to investigate the effect of the crystallographic orientation on the material deformation behaviors in nano- indentation/scratching of BCC iron. Two cases with different substrate orientations have been simulated. The orientations along x, y and z direction are [001], [100] and [010] for Case I and [111], [-1-12] and [1-10] for Case II, respectively. Case I and Case II exhibit different deformation patterns in the substrate. During indentation, the pile-up can be observed in Case I, but not in Case II. During scratching the pile-up ahead of the movement of the indenter has been enlarged in Case I, while a chip with the disordered atoms is generated in Case II. It has been found that Case I has both higher hardness and larger coefficient of friction. The ratios of the hardness and the coefficient of friction between cases I and II are nearly 2. The reason is attributed to the different crystallographic orientations used in both cases
