Medical Marijuana and Pharmacy Practice

By way of the Compassionate Care Act of 2014, New York has become the 23rd state to create a process that will permit patients suffering from a “serious condition” to receive medical marijuana (or “cannabis”). Among those, it is the second state to prohibit the crude delivery system of smoking (Minnesota), and the third to involve pharmacists in the dispensing process (Connecticut and Minnesota). Because virtually every practicing pharmacist in New York will be caring for patients receiving some form of cannabinoid therapy, it is important to discuss the basic outlines established by the law and regulations

Frequently hypercyclic bilateral shifts

It is not known if the inverse of a frequently hypercyclic bilateral weighted shift on $c_0(\mathbb{Z})$ is again frequently hypercyclic. We show that the corresponding problem for upper frequent hypercyclicity has a positive answer. We characterise, more generally, when bilateral weighted shifts on Banach sequence spaces are (upper) frequently hypercyclic

New Variational Principles in Classical and Semiclassical Mechanics

We demonstrate that reciprocal Maupertuis' Principle is the classical limit of Schr\"{o}dinger's Variational Principle in Quantum Mechanics.Comment: To appear in the Michael Marinov Memorial Volume, "Multiple facets of quantization and supersymmetry", edited by M. Olshanetsky and A. Vainshtein (World Scientific). We corrected TEX style of the paper so that the names of both authors can be seen in PS file no
