Geometrical Defects in Josephson Junction Arrays
Dislocations and disclinations in a lattice of Josephson junctions will
affect the dynamics of vortex excitations within the array. These defects
effectively distort the space in which the excitations move and interact. The
interaction energy between such defects and excitations are determined and
vortex trajectories in twisted lattices are calculated. Finally, possible
experiments observing these effects are presented.Comment: 26 pages including 5 figure
“Ten Commandments” for the Appropriate use of Antibiotics by the Practicing Physician in an Outpatient Setting
A multi-national working group on antibiotic stewardship, from the International Society of Chemotherapy, put together ten recommendations to physicians prescribing antibiotics to outpatients. These recommendations are: (1) use antibiotics only when needed; teach the patient how to manage symptoms of non-bacterial infections; (2) select the adequate ATB; precise targeting is better than shotgun therapy; (3) consider pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics when selecting an ATB; use the shortest ATB course that has proven clinical efficacy; (4) encourage patients’ compliance; (5) use antibiotic combinations only in specific situations; (6) avoid low quality and sub-standard drugs; prevent prescription changes at the drugstore; (7) discourage self-prescription; (8) follow only evidence-based guidelines; beware those sponsored by drug companies; (9) rely (rationally) upon the clinical microbiology lab; and (10) prescribe ATB empirically – but intelligently; know local susceptibility trends, and also surveillance limitations
