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 don’t 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

Orientational mobility and relaxation spectra of dendrimers : theory and computer simulation

The developed theory of the orientational mobility of individual segments of a perfectly branched dendrimer is used to calculate the relaxation spectrum of a dendrimer. Frequency dependences of NMR relaxation 1/T1 and of the nuclear Overhauser effect have been theoretically calculated from the Brownian dynamics simulation data. The dendrimer segmental orientational mobility is governed by three main relaxation processes: (i) the rotation of the dendrimer as a whole, (ii) the rotation of the dendrimer's branch originated from a given segment, and (iii) the local reorientation of the segment. The internal orientational mobility of an individual dendrimer segment depends only on the topological distance between this segment and the terminal shell of the dendrimer. Characteristic relaxation times of all processes and their contributions to the segmental mobility have been calculated. The influence of the number of generations and the number of the generation shell on the relaxation times has been studied. The correlation between the characteristic times and the calculated relaxation spectrum of the dendrimer has been established

Two-level systems: exact solutions and underlying pseudo-supersymmetry

Chains of first-order SUSY transformations for the spin equation are studied in detail. It is shown that the transformation chains are related with a olynomial pseudo-supersymmetry of the system. Simple determinant formulas for the final Hamiltonian of a chain and for solutions of the spin equation are derived. Applications are intended for a two-level atom in an electromagnetic field with a possible time-dependence of the field frequency. For a specific form of this dependence, the time oscillations of the probability to populate the excited level disappear. Under certain conditions this probability becomes a function tending monotonously to a constant value which can exceed 1/2.Comment: to be published in Ann. Phys. (NY), 6 figures, 17 page

Influence of the Ratio of Metal Composed Nanocomposites Fe-Co / C on Phase Composition

Metalcarbon nanocomposites based on polyacrylonitrile and nickel chloride are synthesized under the influence of infrared heat. The resulting materials represent a system of carbon matrix formed during the carbonization of PAN, and distributed in it nickel nanoparticles. The average size of the nanoparticles in the nanocomposite was 15-25 nm. It was found that the distribution of nickel nanoparticles sizes is determined by temperature synthesis nanocomposite. Thus with increasing temperature, the predominant average particle size of the metal increases, and the distribution is spread and shifted toward larger sizes.

Quark cluster signatures in deuteron electromagnetic interactions

A suggestion is made for distinguishing 2N and 6q short range correlations within the deuteron. The suggestion depends upon observing high momentum backward nucleons emerging from inelastic electromagnetic scattering from a deuteron target. A simple model is worked out to see the size of effects that may be expected.Comment: 18 pages (3 figures available as hard copy), WM-94-10

Charging effects in quantum wires

We investigate the role of charging effects in a voltage-biased quantum wire. Both the finite range of the Coulomb interaction and the long-ranged nature of the Friedel oscillation imply a finite capacitance, leading to a charging energy. While observable Coulomb blockade effects are absent for a single impurity, they are crucial if islands are present. For a double barrier, we give the resonance condition, fully taking into account the charging of the island.Comment: 6 Pages RevTeX, no figures, Phys. Rev. B (in press

Semiclassical Study of Baryon and Lepton Number Violation in High-Energy Electroweak Collisions

We make use of a semiclassical method for calculating the suppression exponent for topology changing transitions in high-energy electroweak collisions. In the Standard Model these processes are accompanied by violation of baryon and lepton number. By using a suitable computational technique we obtain results for s-wave scattering in a large region of initial data. Our results show that baryon and lepton number violation remains exponentially suppressed up to very high energies of at least 30 sphaleron masses (250 TeV). We also conclude that the known analytic approaches inferred from low energy expansion provide reasonably good approximations up to the sphaleron energy (8 TeV) only.Comment: 23 pages, 18 figures.

Finite-temperature Fermi-edge singularity in tunneling studied using random telegraph signals

We show that random telegraph signals in metal-oxide-silicon transistors at millikelvin temperatures provide a powerful means of investigating tunneling between a two-dimensional electron gas and a single defect state. The tunneling rate shows a peak when the defect level lines up with the Fermi energy, in excellent agreement with theory of the Fermi-edge singularity at finite temperature. This theory also indicates that defect levels are the origin of the dissipative two-state systems observed previously in similar devices.Comment: 5 pages, REVTEX, 3 postscript figures included with epsfi

Foliations of Isonergy Surfaces and Singularities of Curves

It is well known that changes in the Liouville foliations of the isoenergy surfaces of an integrable system imply that the bifurcation set has singularities at the corresponding energy level. We formulate certain genericity assumptions for two degrees of freedom integrable systems and we prove the opposite statement: the essential critical points of the bifurcation set appear only if the Liouville foliations of the isoenergy surfaces change at the corresponding energy levels. Along the proof, we give full classification of the structure of the isoenergy surfaces near the critical set under our genericity assumptions and we give their complete list using Fomenko graphs. This may be viewed as a step towards completing the Smale program for relating the energy surfaces foliation structure to singularities of the momentum mappings for non-degenerate integrable two degrees of freedom systems.Comment: 30 pages, 19 figure
