The Japanese-American Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security and the United States Navy—1970
The Japanese-American Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security will be susceptible to first renegotiation in 1970. This is not to say that the Treaty will be terminated or even that renegotiation is mandatory
Regulatory Variables and Statutory Interpretation
In this Article, we shall use the hypothetical as the means to describe the intellectual puzzle that separates the two disciplines, specify and develop our idea of words or phrases as regulatory variables, and suggest larger implications of our concept
Reparametrization-Invariant Path Integral in GR and "Big Bang" of Quantum Universe
The reparametrization-invariant generating functional for the unitary and
causal perturbation theory in general relativity in a finite space-time is
obtained. The region of validity of the Faddeev-Popov-DeWitt functional is
studied. It is shown that the invariant content of general relativity as a
constrained system can be covered by two "equivalent" unconstrained systems:
the "dynamic" (with "dynamic" evolution parameter as the metric scale factor)
and "geometric" (given by the Levi-Civita type canonical transformation to the
action-angle variables where the energy constraint converts into a new
momentum). "Big Bang", the Hubble evolution, and creation of matter fields by
the "geometric" vacuum are described by the inverted Levi-Civita (LC)
transformation of the geomeric system into the dynamic one. The particular case
of the LC transformations are the Bogoliubov ones of the particle variables
(diagonalizing the dynamic Hamiltonian) to the quasiparticles (diagonalizing
the equations of motion). The choice of initial conditions for the "Big Bang"
in the form of the Bogoliubov (squeezed) vacuum reproduces all stages of the
evolution of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe in their conformal
(Hoyle-Narlikar) versions.Comment: 21 pages, latex, 4 figures in postscrip
Darboux Transformations for Supersymmetric Korteweg - de Vries Equations
\hspace{.2in}We consider the Darboux type transformations for the spectral
problems of supersymmetric KdV systems. The supersymmetric analogies of Darboux
and Darboux-Levi transformations are established for the spectral problems of
Manin-Radul-Mathieu sKdV and Manin-Radul sKdV. Several B\"acklund
transformations are derived for the MRM sKdV and MR sKdV systems.Comment: Latex, 8 pages AS-ITP-94-4
Herpes zoster ophthalmicus and varicella zoster virus vasculopathy
Herpes zoster (HZ) corresponds to the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV). Among adults, the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve is one of the most common sites of involvement. Vasculopathy caused by HZ is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, affecting structures such as the brain, which can lead to stroke. In this review, we analyzed the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the vascular involvement of VZV, focusing on the peculiarities of its association with ocular HZ. A review of the available literature indicated that ocular involvement of HZ was a risk factor for vasculopathy after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, indicators of metabolic syndrome, and vascular and heart diseases. Considering the severity of this complication, vascular disease mediated by VZV requires early diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Finally, the anti-HZ vaccine has been recommended as a prophylactic measure in the elderly, but it should be used with caution in immunocompromised individuals.Univ Fed Sao Paulo UNIFESP, EPM, Dept Ophthalmol & Visual Sci, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilSoc Brasileira Imunizacao, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilInst Visao, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo UNIFESP, EPM, Dept Ophthalmol & Visual Sci, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilWeb of Scienc
