Collective and independent-particle motion in two-electron artificial atoms
Investigations of the exactly solvable excitation spectra of two-electron
quantum dots with a parabolic confinement, for different values of the
parameter R_W expressing the relative magnitudes of the interelectron repulsion
and the zero-point kinetic energy of the confined electrons, reveal for large
R_W a remarkably well-developed ro-vibrational spectrum associated with
formation of a linear trimeric rigid molecule composed of the two electrons and
the infinitely heavy confining dot. This spectrum transforms to one
characteristic of a "floppy" molecule for smaller values of R_W. The
conditional probability distribution calculated for the exact two-electron wave
functions allows for the identification of the ro-vibrational excitations as
rotations and stretching/bending vibrations, and provides direct evidence
pertaining to the formation of such molecules.Comment: Published version. Latex/Revtex, 5 pages with 2 postscript figures

Survey on the use of premix insulin analogues in diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 in Mexico [Encuesta sobre el uso de premezclas de an�logos de insulinas en pacientes con diabetes en M�xico]
Background: There are several publications related to the use of premixed insulin analogs in Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus, however, there was no information about its use in the Mexican clinical practice. Materials and methods: A survey was conducted to 48 physicians experts in Diabetes Mellitus. They were endocrinologists (62%), Internists (32) and diabetologists (6%). Results: Twenty-four percent of the specialists pointed out that more than half of the patients who consult by the first time do not respond to treatment with oral hypoglycemic medication. A high number of patients treated with insulin reach glycemic control goals. Most of the experts treat more than half of their patients with insulin. Sixty-six percent of the experts use premixed insulin analogs in their patients with type 1 Diabetes, and a high percentage use them in type 2 Diabetes. Most of the expert physicians recommend the use of premixed insulin analogs as the first line treatment in their patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Conclusions: Premixed insulin analogs are widely accepted by patients because they offer a complete coverage of their metabolic requirements, reducing the number of daily injections. In type 1 Diabetes, premixed insulin analogs will be used to improve metabolic control and to strengthen compliance. This document describes the use of premixed insulin analogs in the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus in Mexico
