Search for long lived charged massive particles in pp collisions at s-hat = 1.8TeV

We report a search for the production of long-lived charged massive particles in a data sample of 90   pb-1 of √s=1.8   TeV pp̅ collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The search uses the muonlike penetration and anomalously high ionization energy loss signature expected for such a particle to discriminate it from backgrounds. The data are found to agree with background expectations, and cross section limits of O(1) pb are derived using two reference models, a stable quark and a stable scalar lepton

Despite a long history of research questions about the factors that determine lithogenicity urine remains open. Aim: to evaluate lithogenicity urine of patients with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis and find her relationships with a concentration both in urine and plasma electrolytes and nitrogenous metabolites and the parameters gall-bladder motility, HRV, EEG and Immunity. Results. Lithogenicity urine Index (Lith) calculated by the formula: Lith=(Oxalates•Uric acid•Calcium/Magnesium•Creatinin)0,2, is determined positive by Oxalates (r=0,55) and Uric acid (r=0,34) but negative by Creatinin (r=-0,54) and Magnesium (r=-0,32). Revealed significantly correlation Lith with Uric acid Plasma level (r=-0,30) and Gall-bladder postprandial Volume, most 30 min (r=-0,51). Discovered unexpectedly negative correlation Lith with both Baevskiy Stress Index (r=-0,33) and Sympatho-Vagal Balance Index HRV (r=-0,36). Among EEG parameters correlated with Lith δ-rhythm amplitude (r=-0,50), θ-rhythm asymmetry index (r=0,45) and α-rhythm frequency (r=0,32). Among parameters of Immunity correlated with Lith blood levels of CD19+ B-Lymphocytes (r=0,34) and CD16+ NK-Lymphocytes (r=0,30). Canonical correlation between urina Lithogenicity and Neuro-Humoral-Immune factors is veri strong: R=0,97. Conclusion: in patients with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis there are relationships between urina Lithogenicity and neuro-humoral-immune factors.Keywords: lithogenicity urine, neuro-humoral-immune factors, men

Нечеткое моделирование в задаче оценки качества изображений лазерных пятен

Аналізуються зображення плям лазерних пучків за рядом характеристик, специфічних для графічних об’єктів такого роду. Виділено статистичні та геометричні інформаційні ознаки зображень лазерних плям, зокрема запропоновано як одну з ознак ввести кодову відстань між значеннями нечітких хеш-функцій для досліджуваного та еталонного зображень. Нечіткі хеш-функції дають змогу ідентифікувати зображення навіть за наявності в ньому незначних змін. Незначна зміна аргумента такої функції не веде до зміни її значення. Побудовано модель нечіткого класифікатора, що розподіляє вхідні зображення на класи за якістю представленої на них лазерної плями. Результати класифікації можуть інтерпретуватися як показник якості пучка лазера, міру того, наскільки добре лазерний промінь може бути сфокусований. Система не лише ідентифікує об’єкт на зображенні, в даному випадку лазерну пляму, але й надає якісну оцінку міри його відповідності заданому об’єкту-еталону.Laser beam spot images have been analyzed according to a number of features which were specific to graphical objects of this kind. Statistical and geometrical informational features of laser spot images were extracted; in particular, the Hemming distance between fuzzy hash function values for the analyzed and the template images is proposed as one of the features. Fuzzy hash functions allow identifying an image even in a case of small modifications. A slight change in an argument of such a function does not result in the change of its value. A fuzzy classifier model has been developed, which assigns input images to classes according to the quality of the laser spot image in them. Classification results may be interpreted as a laser beam quality indication; a measure of how well the laser beam can be focused. The system does not only identify the object on an image, a laser spot in the current context, but also provides a qualitative estimation of its correspondence to the template image.Проанализированы изображения пятен лазерных пучков по ряду характеристик, специфических для графических объектов такого рода. Выделены статистические и геометрические информационные признаки изображений лазерных пятен, в частности предложено кодовое расстояние между значениями нечетких хэш-функций для изучаемого и эталонного изображений в качестве одного из признаков. Нечеткие хеш-функции дают возможность идентифицировать изображение даже при наличии в нем незначительных изменений. Несущественное изменение аргумента такой функции не ведет к изменению ее значения. Построена модель нечеткого классификатора, распределяющая входные изображения на классы по качеству представленного на них лазерного пятна. Результаты классификации могут интерпретироваться как показатель качества пучка лазера, степень того, насколько хорошо лазерный луч может быть сфокусирован. Система не только идентифицирует объект на изображении, в данном случае лазерное пятно, но и предоставляет качественную оценку меры его соответствия заданному объекту-эталону

We know that balneotherapy on spa Truskavets' did not significantly affect the parameters of urina Lithogenicity, including Ca/Mg ratio, so search for means of reducing urina Lithogenicity remains relevant. We also know that Phytopreparation Canephron® N recommended for inclusion in complex therapy of chronic pyelonephrite as effective elimination of infectious kidney inflammation, prevention of recurrence of inflammation and lithogenese. Aim: to find out the possibility of reducing urina Lithogenicity influenced balneotherapy on spa Truskavets' by additional taking Canephron® N. Results. Standardized balneotherapy not significantly affect urina Lithogenicity in patients with chronic pyelonephrite and cholecystite, even showed a trend to increase, while additional use Canephron® N significantly reduces urina Lithogenicity by reducing the concentration of Uric acid and downward trend Calcium. Reducing urina Lithogenicity accompanied by a decrease urina concentration Chloride and Potassium, and Baevskiy’s Activity Regulatory Systems Index, Asymmetry δ-, θ- and α-rhythms of background EEG and α-rhythm normalized Power Spectrum Density (PSD) in right loci Fp2, F8, T6 and O2, while HRV markers of vagal tone (RMSSD, pNN50, TI) also Frequency Deviation θ- and β-rhythms, Amplitude β- and δ-rhythms, δ-rhythm PSD in loci Fp2, F8, T3, T5, O1, O2, β-rhythm PSD in loci Fp1, F4 and θ-rhythm PSD in loci T3 and F7 rising. However, Canephron® N preventes or reverses increasing Uric acid plasma level, Mineralocorticoide Activity, Sympathetic tone, Baevskiy’s Stress Index and PSD ULF HRV also decreasing PSD VLF HRV. Concerning parameters of Immunity Canephron® N decreases blood level active T-Lymphocytes but increases level B-Lymphocytes, Stubnucleary Neutrophiles and total Leukocytes also prevents or reverses increasing CD16+ NK-Lymphocytes, CD8+ and Theophilinesensitive T-Lymphocytes, Monocytes and serum IgM also decreasing CD4+ T-Lymphocytes and Neutrophiles Phagocytose Count vs Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, Canephron® N potentiates increasing Parathyrine Activity, serum level IgG and Bactericidic Capacity of Neutrophiles vs Staphylococcus aureus also decreasing Urea and Creatinine plasma level, Sodium urina concentration and Neutrophiles Phagocytose Count vs Escherichia coli. Conclusion. Introduce Canephron® N into standard balneotherapeutic complex spa Truskavets’ contribute to decrease urina Lithogenicity accompanied by decreasing of HRV and EEG markers of chronic Stress and favorable modulation parameters of Immunity in patients with chronic pyelonephrite and cholecystite.Keywords: lithogenicity of urina, EEG, HRV, immunity, spa Truskavets’, Canephron® N
