Negative-Energy Spinors and the Fock Space of Lattice Fermions at Finite Chemical Potential
Recently it was suggested that the problem of species doubling with
Kogut-Susskind lattice fermions entails, at finite chemical potential, a
confusion of particles with antiparticles. What happens instead is that the
familiar correspondence of positive-energy spinors to particles, and of
negative-energy spinors to antiparticles, ceases to hold for the Kogut-Susskind
time derivative. To show this we highlight the role of the spinorial ``energy''
in the Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction of the Fock space of non-interacting
lattice fermions at zero temperature and nonzero chemical potential. We
consider Kogut-Susskind fermions and, for comparison, fermions with an
asymmetric one-step time derivative.Comment: 14p

USE OF WOUND PROTECTOR FOR PREVENTION OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTION IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
The work is based on the experience of 759 cholecystectomies performed in 2015-2018. Patients with a 3-4 grades of microbial contamination of wounds were divided into two groups: the first, with removal of the gallbladder traditionally with specimen retrieval container and the second, where proposed method of combined use of container and wound protector was used − 19 patients.Surgical site infection in laparoscopic cholecystectomy was detected in 5.40% (41 patients out of 759). During surgical interventions related to the second grade of microbial contamination (clean-contaminated), the frequency of SSI was 2.50%, to the third grade (contaminated) − 11.76%, and to the fourth grade (dirty) − 34.92%. Using the proposed method for the simultaneous use of the retrieval container and the double-ring wound protector in the second and third grades of wounds in LC allowed to reduce the frequency of SSI from 37.70% to 5.26%.The work is based on the experience of 759 cholecystectomies performed in 2015-2018.

Vanishing of Gravitational Particle Production in the Formation of Cosmic Strings
We consider the gravitationally induced particle production from the quantum
vacuum which is defined by a free, massless and minimally coupled scalar field
during the formation of a gauge cosmic string. Previous discussions of this
topic estimate the power output per unit length along the string to be of the
order of ergs/sec/cm in the s-channel. We find that this production
may be completely suppressed. A similar result is also expected to hold for the
number of produced photons.Comment: 10 pages, Plain LaTex. Minor improvements. To appear in PR
Using level-2 fuzzy sets to combine uncertainty and imprecision in fuzzy regions
In many applications, spatial data need to be considered but are prone to uncertainty or imprecision. A fuzzy region - a fuzzy set over a two dimensional domain - allows the representation of such imperfect spatial data. In the original model, points of the fuzzy region where treated independently, making it impossible to model regions where groups of points should be considered as one basic element or subregion. A first extension overcame this, but required points within a group to have the same membership grade. In this contribution, we will extend this further, allowing a fuzzy region to contain subregions in which not all points have the same membership grades. The concept can be used as an underlying model in spatial applications, e.g. websites showing maps and requiring representation of imprecise features or websites with routing functions needing to handle concepts as walking distance or closeby
The Savvidy ``ferromagnetic vacuum'' in three-dimensional lattice gauge theory
The vacuum effective potential of three-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge
theory in an applied color-magnetic field is computed over a wide range of
field strengths. The background field is induced by an external current, as in
continuum field theory. Scaling and finite volume effects are analyzed
systematically. The first evidence from lattice simulations is obtained of the
existence of a nontrivial minimum in the effective potential. This supports a
``ferromagnetic'' picture of gluon condensation, proposed by Savvidy on the
basis of a one-loop calculation in (3+1)-dimensional QCD.Comment: 9pp (REVTEX manuscript). Postscript figures appende
Maximum gradient embeddings and monotone clustering
Let (X,d_X) be an n-point metric space. We show that there exists a
distribution D over non-contractive embeddings into trees f:X-->T such that for
every x in X, the expectation with respect to D of the maximum over y in X of
the ratio d_T(f(x),f(y)) / d_X(x,y) is at most C (log n)^2, where C is a
universal constant. Conversely we show that the above quadratic dependence on
log n cannot be improved in general. Such embeddings, which we call maximum
gradient embeddings, yield a framework for the design of approximation
algorithms for a wide range of clustering problems with monotone costs,
including fault-tolerant versions of k-median and facility location.Comment: 25 pages, 2 figures. Final version, minor revision of the previous
