Trunk-only bath rewarming has often been recommended over whole-body bath rewarming as a method for the treatment of immersion hypothermia. At present, no report of a direct comparison of the relative merits of these techniques has been made. Authorities in favor of trunk-only bath rewarming base their proposal on the assumption that core temperature afterdrop would be minimized by preventing p...

background: solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109cd. to avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...

background and objective: lack of sleep (insomnia) is a common problem involving society members and inpa-tients causing different physiological effects. treatment includes a variety of several pharmacologic or other techniques. one of the non-pharmacologic methods is local heating of terminal organs (passive body heating). manipulation of body temperature is a potential therapeutic interventio...

PURPOSE The dose-response relationship for a relatively short length (4 mm) of rat spinal cord has been shown to be significantly modified by adjacent low-dose fields. In an additional series of experiments, we have now established the dose-volume dependence of this effect. METHODS AND MATERIALS Wistar rats were irradiated on the cervical spinal cord with single doses of unmodulated protons (...

We numerically investigate decoherence of a two-spin system (central system) by a bath of many spins 1/2. By carefully adjusting parameters, the dynamical regime of the bath has been varied from quantum chaos to regular, while all other dynamical characteristics have been kept practically intact. We explicitly demonstrate that for a many-body quantum bath, the onset of quantum chaos leads to si...

We present fast algorithms for the summation of Dyson series and inchworm Monte Carlo method quantum systems that are coupled with harmonic baths. The based on evolving integro-differential equations where most expensive part comes from computation bath influence functionals. To accelerate computation, we design reusing functionals computed in previous time steps to reduce number calculations. ...
