Approximate point spectra of mm-complex symmetric operators and others (Research on structure of operators by order and related topics)

Let C be a conjugation on a complex Hilbert space H. If {xn} is a sequence of unit vectors, then so is {Cxn}- Under the assumption such that (T - λ)xn → 0 (n → ∞), we show spectral properties concerning with a sequence {Cxn} of unit vectors

A Field Study of Telemetry-Recording of The Body Temperature in Wild Mongolian Pikas

The pika inhabiting in cold zone or in high mountains is thought to be adapted to cold as well as high-altitude environment. We have reported pika\u27s high body temperature (39.6℃), high metabolism and poor heat loss ability such as poor panting, small ear pinnae and lack of thermal salivation. In this study, we measured the body temperature of wild pikas (Ochotona daurica) with a telemetry device in their natural burrows in Mongolia. Two pikas captured at Undur Dov were implanted with transmitters in the abdominal cavity under anesthesia, and were returned to the own habitat. The mean body temperatures of the pikas were 39.65℃ and 39.96℃ though the data were limited to a short period of less than one day. The present results in wild pikas support pika\u27s high body temperature in our previous studies

Changes in the reference lumen size of target lesions before and after coronary stent implantation: Evaluation with frequency domain optical coherence tomography

In optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stent size is usually determined according to the pre-PCI lumen size of either the distal or proximal reference site. However, the effect of the OCT imaging catheter crossing the target lesion on the reference lumen measurements has not been studied. We evaluated changes in the reference lumen size before and after PCI using frequency domain OCT. For 100 consecutive patients with PCI, mean lumen diameter (LD) and lumen area (LA) were measured at the proximal and distal reference sites before and after coronary stent implantation with OCT. Mean LD and LA of the distal reference site were significantly increased after PCI with stent implantation (2.57 ± 0.6 to 2.62 ± 0.64 mm, p 1.50 mm2. Tissue characteristics were not correlated with changes in reference lumen size. When we select the stent size during OCT-guided PCI, we need to pay attention to the decrease in the luminal measurement of the reference sites, especially in lesions with tight stenosis
