Indometh acin-antihistamine combination for gastric ulceration control
An anti-inflammatory and analgesic composition containing indomethacin and an H2 histamine receptor antagonist in an amount sufficient to reduce gastric distress caused by the indomethacin was developed. Usable antagonists are metiamide and cimetidine
Indomethacin-antihistamine combination for gastric ulceration control

Polarisation dependence of magnetic Bragg scattering in YMnO
The polarisation dependence of the intensity of elastic magnetic scattering
from \ymno\ single crystals has been measured at 25 K in magnetic fields
between 1 and 9 T. A significant polarisation dependence was observed in the
intensities of magnetic satellite reflections, propagation vector
\pv=0.5,0,0.25 measured with both the [100] and [010] axes parallel to the
common polarisation and applied field direction. The intensity asymmetries
observed in sets of orthorhombicly equivalent reflections show systematic
relationships which allow the phase relationship between different components
of their magnetic interaction vectors to be determined. They fix the
orientation relationships between the small and moments on the \mnfp\
and \mntp\ sub-lattices and lend support to the structure reported by Kim et
al. It was found that that which suggests
that there is a small modulation of the nuclear structure which has the same
wave-vector as the magnetic modulation leading to a small nuclear structure
factor for the satellite reflections. The differences observed indicate shifts in the atomic positions of order 0.005 \AA
Field Quantization, Photons and Non-Hermitean Modes
Field quantization in three dimensional unstable optical systems is treated
by expanding the vector potential in terms of non-Hermitean (Fox-Li) modes in
both the cavity and external regions. The cavity non-Hermitean modes (NHM) are
treated using the paraxial and monochromaticity approximations. The NHM
bi-orthogonality relationships are used in a standard canonical quantization
procedure based on introducing generalised coordinates and momenta for the
electromagnetic (EM) field. The quantum EM field is equivalent to a set of
quantum harmonic oscillators (QHO), associated with either the cavity or the
external region NHM. This confirms the validity of the photon model in unstable
optical systems, though the annihilation and creation operators for each QHO
are not Hermitean adjoints. The quantum Hamiltonian for the EM field is the sum
of non-commuting cavity and external region contributions, each of which is sum
of independent QHO Hamiltonians for each NHM, but the external field
Hamiltonian also includes a coupling term responsible for external NHM photon
exchange processes. Cavity energy gain and loss processes is associated with
the non-commutativity of cavity and external region operators, given in terms
of surface integrals involving cavity and external region NHM functions on the
cavity-external region boundary. The spontaneous decay of a two-level atom
inside an unstable cavity is treated using the essential states approach and
the rotating wave approximation. Atomic transitions leading to cavity NHM
photon absorption have a different coupling constant to those leading to photon
emission, a feature resulting from the use of NHM functions. Under certain
conditions the decay rate is enhanced by the Petermann factor.Comment: 38 pages, tex, 2 figures, ps. General expression for decay rate

Attitudes in Physics Education: An Alternative Approach to Teaching Physics to Non-Science College Students
In this article, we present an alternative way of teaching conceptual physics for non-science majors by depicting the role of physics in today\u27s technology. The goal of this approach is to increase in the minds of non-science students the acceptance of physics as a useful component in general education, and as a major tool in comprehending the present-day technological world experienced by students outside the classroom
Boundary States and Black Hole Entropy
Black hole entropy is derived from a sum over boundary states. The boundary
states are labeled by energy and momentum surface densities, and parametrized
by the boundary metric. The sum over state labels is expressed as a functional
integral with measure determined by the density of states. The sum over metrics
is expressed as a functional integral with measure determined by the universal
expression for the inverse temperature gradient at the horizon. The analysis
applies to any stationary, nonextreme black hole in any theory of gravitational
and matter fields.Comment: 4 pages, Revte
Dipole and Quadrupole electroexcitations of the isovector T=1 particle-hole states in C-12
Electroexcitations of the dominantly T=1 particle-hole states of C-12 are
studied in the framework of the harmonic oscillator shell model. All possible
T=1 single-particle-hole states of all allowed angular momenta are considered
in a basis including single-particle states up to the 1f-2p shell. The
Hamiltonian is diagnoalized in this space in the presence of the modified
surface delta interaction. Correlation in the ground state wave functions by
mixing more than one configuration is considered and shows a major contribution
that leads to enhance the calculations of the form factors. A comparison with
the experiment shows that this model is able to fit the location of states and
a simple scaling of the results give a good fit to the experimental form
factors.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 5 tables, Late
