The concept of social pharmacy
The 13th International Social Pharmacy Workshop will be held in Malta in July 2004. The Social Pharmacy Workshops are international conferences for research in social and behavioural pharmacy. Meetings are held every second year and participation has grown steadily since the first Workshop was held in Helsinki, Finland, in 1980. Following the successful 2002 conference in Sydney, Australia, the 2004 meeting in Malta will be the first one held in the Mediterranean area!peer-reviewe
Different quantization mechanisms in single-electron pumps driven by surface acoustic waves
We have studied the acoustoelectric current in single-electron pumps driven
by surface acoustic waves. We have found that in certain parameter ranges two
different sets of quantized steps dominate the acoustoelectric current versus
gate-voltage characteristics. In some cases, both types of quantized steps
appear simultaneously though at different current values, as if they were
superposed on each other. This could indicate two independent quantization
mechanisms for the acoustoelectric current.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Divergence-type 2+1 dissipative hydrodynamics applied to heavy-ion collisions
We apply divergence-type theory (DTT) dissipative hydrodynamics to study the
2+1 space-time evolution of the fireball created in Au+Au relativistic
heavy-ion collisions at 200 GeV. DTTs are exact hydrodynamic
theories that do no rely on velocity gradient expansions and therefore go
beyond second-order theories. We numerically solve the equations of motion of
the DTT for Glauber initial conditions and compare the results with those of
second-order theory based on conformal invariants (BRSS) and with data. We find
that the charged-hadron minumum-bias elliptic flow reaches its maximum value at
lower in the DTT, and that the DTT allows for a value of
slightly larger than that of the BRSS. Our results show that the differences
between viscous hydrodynamic formalisms are a significant source of uncertainty
in the precise extraction of from experiments.Comment: v4: 29 pages, 12 figures, minor changes. Final version as published
