We use the quasistatic approach to analyze the criterion of ferromagnetism for two-dimentional (2D) systems with the Fermi level near Van Hove singularities (VHS) of the electronic spectrum. It is shown that the spectrum of spin excitations (paramagnons) is positively defined when the interaction I between electrons and paramagnons, which corresponds to the Hubbard on-site repulsion U , is suff...

Phyloinformatics is an interdisciplinary study, combining Phylogenetics and Informatics. It involves gathering, storing, computing, and reusing the product of phylogenetic analyses. One of the major challenges in the domain of phylogenetics is the accessibility of published phylogenetic trees and the data that are used to estimate these trees. With the help of Semantic Web technology, we can ma...

In the framework of the Chern-Simons gravity proposed by Witten, a transition amplitude of a torus universe in 2+1 dimensional quantum gravity is computed. This amplitude has the desired properties as a probability amplitude of the quantum mechanics of a torus universe, namely, it has a peak on the ”classical orbit” and it satisfies the Shrödinger equation of the 2+1 dimentional gravity. The di...

near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. typical applications include medical and physiological diagnostics. nirs can be used for non-invasive assessment of brain function through the intact skull in human subjects by detecting changes in blood hemoglobin concentrations associated with neural activity, e.g., ...

Understanding the morphology of the root canal plays a key role in the success of a root canal therapy. Thus considerations of the anatomic variations, in the process of diagnosis and treatment of the maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth, should be done by the clinicians.1 A thorough examination of pre-operative and postoperative radiagraphs plays a critical role in endodontic success. Vari...

In 1909 Thomas Jonnesco published his interesting paper under the title General spinal anesthesia through an approach of the subarachnoid space at a thoracic level, providing condition for surgery on the skull, head, neck and thorax. Etherington-Wilson proposed explaining the various possibilities for the spinal anesthesia. Leonardo da Vinci was considered the discoverer of Human and animal Ana...

An algorithm for detecting periodic orbits in chaotic systems [Phys. Rev. E, 60 (1999), pp. 6172–6175], which combines the set of stabilising transformations proposed by Schmelcher and Diakonos [Phys. Rev. Lett., 78 (1997), pp. 4733–4736] with a modified semi-implicit Euler iterative scheme and seeding with periodic orbits of neighbouring periods, has been shown to be highly efficient when appl...

A 64-year-old man was referred to our hospital with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection following infrainguinal arterial reconstruction. As repeated MRSA sepsis occurred, we decided to remove the infected graft with distal revascularization via circuitous graft tunneling to avoid serious infections and allow limb salvage. An iliofemoro bypass was performed via an extra-...

The high-power heating of magnetic reconnection has been applied to the ultra-high-beta ST formation in the TS-3, TS-4 and UTST merging experiments. Two low-beta ST plasmas were formed inductively by two or four PF coils without using any central solenoid (CS) and were merged for high power MW-GW reconnection heating. Cause and mechanism for the reconnection heating were directly measured for t...

This paper describes a robust method for recognizing vehicle classes. In our previous work, we have developed a vehicle recognition system based on local-feature configuration, which is a generalization of the eigen-window method. This system could recognize one vehicle class very accurately, but there have been limitations in recognizing several classes, when they are quite similar to each oth...
