Postoperative Pain Management in Urologic Patients
The quality of postoperative anesthesia in urologic patients has been analyzed. Correlation between pain intensity and postoperative complications has been revealed. Nonsteroid antiinflammatory and narcotic drugs donât provide high-quality anesthesia after urological operations. Continued postoperative pain is the cause of development of pathological reactions and complications. An important role of prevention and treatment of postoperative pain comes to prolonged epidural analgesia composed of multimodal pain management. Usage of similar tactics significantly decreases the risk of negative reactions for organs and systems in response to operative stress, excludes the necessity of narcotic drugs, prevents the development of complications during the early postoperative period and provides comfortable conditions for patients
Coulomb correlations effects on localized charge relaxation in the coupled quantum dots
We analyzed localized charge time evolution in the system of two interacting
quantum dots (QD) (artificial molecule) coupled with the continuous spectrum
states. We demonstrated that Coulomb interaction modifies relaxation rates and
is responsible for non-monotonic time evolution of the localized charge. We
suggested new mechanism of this non-monotonic charge time evolution connected
with charge redistribution between different relaxation channels in each QD.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Enhanced mesoscopic fluctuations in the crossover between random matrix ensembles
In random-matrix ensembles that interpolate between the three basic ensembles
(orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic), there exist correlations between
elements of the same eigenvector and between different eigenvectors. We study
such correlations, using a remarkable correspondence between the interpolating
ensembles late in the crossover and a basic ensemble of finite size. In small
metal grains or semiconductor quantum dots, the correlations between different
eigenvectors lead to enhanced fluctuations of the electron-electron interaction
matrix elements which become parametrically larger than the non-universal
fluctuations.Comment: 4 pages, RevTeX; 3 figure
A novel criterion for the prediction of meso-scale defects in textile preforming
© 2019 The Authors In numerical simulations of reinforcement preforming, fabrics are often modelled using continuum approaches with homogenised material properties in order to reduce the computational costs. To predict the occurrence of meso-scale defects, in particular when membrane finite elements are used for modelling, a novel wrinkling criterion is proposed here. This criterion relates the onset of reinforcement buckling to material and process parameters. It is demonstrated that the criterion correctly predicts the occurrence of meso-scale defects and is more accurate than criteria based on a constant shear locking angle or critical strain for the defect onset, which do not to take into account local processing conditions such as friction or normal pressure
Interacting one dimensional electron gas with open boundaries
We discuss the properties of interacting electrons on a finite chain with
open boundary conditions. We extend the Haldane Luttinger liquid description to
these systems and study how the presence of the boundaries modifies various
correlation functions. In view of possible experimental applications to quantum
wires, we analyse how tunneling measurements can reveal the underlying
Luttinger liquid properties. The two terminal conductance is calculated. We
also point out possible applications to quasi one dimensional materials and
study the effects of magnetic impurities.Comment: 38 pages, ReVTeX, 7 figures (available upon request
Dilepton Spectra from Decays of Light Unflavored Mesons
The invariant mass spectrum of the and pairs
from decays of light unflavored mesons with masses below the -meson mass to final states containing along with a dilepton pair one
photon, one meson, and two mesons are calculated within the framework of the
effective meson theory. The results can be used for simulations of the dilepton
spectra in heavy-ion collisions and for experimental searches of dilepton meson
decays.Comment: 73 pages, 19 figures, 3 tables, REVTeX, new references adde
Dilepton production in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies
We present a unified description of the vector meson and dilepton production
in elementary and in heavy ion reactions. The production of vector mesons
() is described via the excitation of nuclear resonances ().
The theoretical framework is an extended vector meson dominance model (eVMD).
The treatment of the resonance decays with arbitrary spin is
covariant and kinematically complete. The eVMD includes thereby excited vector
meson states in the transition form factors. This ensures correct asymptotics
and provides a unified description of photonic and mesonic decays. The
resonance model is successfully applied to the production in
reactions. The same model is applied to the dilepton production in elementary
reactions (). Corresponding data are well reproduced. However, when
the model is applied to heavy ion reactions in the BEVALAC/SIS energy range the
experimental dilepton spectra measured by the DLS Collaboration are
significantly underestimated at small invariant masses. As a possible solution
of this problem the destruction of quantum interference in a dense medium is
discussed. A decoherent emission through vector mesons decays enhances the
corresponding dilepton yield in heavy ion reactions. In the vicinity of the
-peak the reproduction of the data requires further a substantial
collisional broadening of the and in particular of the meson.Comment: 32 pages revtex, 19 figures, to appear in PR
Pion emission from the T2K replica target: method, results and application
The T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan needs precise
predictions of the initial neutrino flux. The highest precision can be reached
based on detailed measurements of hadron emission from the same target as used
by T2K exposed to a proton beam of the same kinetic energy of 30 GeV. The
corresponding data were recorded in 2007-2010 by the NA61/SHINE experiment at
the CERN SPS using a replica of the T2K graphite target. In this paper details
of the experiment, data taking, data analysis method and results from the 2007
pilot run are presented. Furthermore, the application of the NA61/SHINE
measurements to the predictions of the T2K initial neutrino flux is described
and discussed.Comment: updated version as published by NIM
Measurement of the branching fraction
The branching fraction is measured in a data sample
corresponding to 0.41 of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb
detector at the LHC. This channel is sensitive to the penguin contributions
affecting the sin2 measurement from The
time-integrated branching fraction is measured to be . This is the most precise measurement to
