Circulation hydrodynamics in the organs of the abdominal cavity in the presence of extracorporeal perfusion

The general hemodynamics and circulation in the organs of the abdominal cavity have been investigated in the presence of artificial circulation at a calculated rate of perfusion. The effect of vasoactive preparations (noradrenaline, Arfonad) on these characteristics is analyzed. The behavior of the microcirculation in the presence of artificial circulation created by an artificial circulation apparatus equipped with automatic control systems of original design has been studied. It has been found that disturbances of the microcirculation are responsible for the development of a state of hypoxia in organs and tissues in the presence of artificial circulation at a calculated rate of perfusion under conditions of controlled vasoconstriction or controlled hypotension. Stabilization of the arterial pressure and the functional state of the vascular bed in the presence of artificial circulation had a positive effect on the tissue blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the organs of the abdominal cavity.Paper presented at the First All-Union Conference on Engineering and Medical Biomechanics on the topic: Problems of Circulatory Hydrodynamics, Riga, October, 1975.D.

Gaps in the poset of projections in the Calkin algebra

We study the gap structure of the partial order of projections of the Calkin algebra of a complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove the existence of an analytic Hausdorff gap in this partial order. As a consequence we obtain that under Todorcevic’s Axiom and MA the gap spectrum of P(C(H)) is strictly bigger than the gap spectrum of P(ω)/Fin.     

Estimate for the remainder in the Weyl asymptotics of the spectrum of the Maxwell operator in Lipschitz domains

We study the asymptotics of the spectrum of the Maxwell operator M in a bounded Lipschitz domain W ì \mathbbR³ \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^3} under the condition of the perfect conductivity of the boundary ∂Ω. We obtain the following estimate for the remainder in the Weyl asymptotic expansion of the counting function N(λ,M) of positive eigenvalues of the Maxwell operator M:

On the Gap in the Spectrum of the Translations

The spectrum of the translations in local quantum field theory will be analyzed in order to show that in a positive energy representation without vacuum vector and with lowest mass m₁ there is no gap in the spectrum which is larger than 2m₁. In particular in a zero mass representation there is no hole at all. These results are obtained with methods of analytic functions of several complex variables.     

Hydroelastic phenomena in the neighborhood of the bifurcation of the aorta

The mechanical behavior of the vessels and the blood near a bifurcation is analyzed. A single-layer homogeneous shell is taken as a model of the aorta on the assumption that the intima is much less stiff than the other layers. In analyzing the blood flow in large vessels, the blood is treated as a viscous Newtonian liquid, whose motion is described by the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation.Zhukovskii Air Force Engineering Academy, Moscow; Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.

On the area of the intersection of disks in the plane

Let C₁,…, C_n and C′₁,…, C′_n be two collections of equal disks in the plane, with centers c₁,…, c_n and c′₁,…, c′_n. According to a well-known conjecture of Klee and Wagon (1991), if |c_i − c_j| ≥ |c′_i − c′_j| for all i, j, then Area(∩_i C_i) ≤ Area(∩_i C′_i).

We prove this statement in the special case when there is a continuous contraction of {c₁,…, c_n} onto {c′₁,…, c′_n}.

On the continuity of the sharp constant in the Jackson-Stechkin inequality in the space L 2

This paper deals with the continuity of the sharp constant K(T,X) with respect to the set T in the Jackson-Stechkin inequality $E(f,L) \leqslant K(T,X)\omega (f,T,X),$ , where E(f,L) is the best approximation of the function f ∈ X by elements of the subspace L ? X, and ω is a modulus of continuity, in the case where the space L ²( $\mathbb{T}^d $ , ?) is taken for X and the subspace of functions g ∈ L ²( $\mathbb{T}^d $ , ?), for L. In particular, it is proved that the sharp constant in the Jackson-Stechkin inequality is continuous in the case where L is the space of trigonometric polynomials of nth order and the modulus of continuity ω is the classical modulus of continuity of rth order.

Dynamic decision methods in the presence of uncertainty in the state and the dynamics

The article considers the problem of dynamic decision under uncertainty in the state and in its dynamics. Game models and identification and decision methods are developed that ensure consistency and asymptotic stationarity of dynamic equilibria.This study was partially financed by the Russian Foundation of Basic Research (95-01-01137).Translated from Nelineinye Dinamicheskie Sistemy: Kachestvennyi Analiz i Upravlenie — Sbornik Trudov.

Investment decisions in the rent-to-own industry in the absence of inventory

This study addresses the product investment decision faced by firms in the rent-to-own industry. In this setting, a customer arrives according to a random process and requests one unit of a product to rent (and eventually own should he/she choose to make all the required payments). At the time of request, if the product is available in inventory, the firm enters into a contractual agreement (by accepting the customer's offer) and rents the merchandise. More interesting and the case considered here, if the requested item is not in inventory, the firm must decide whether to purchase the item in order to rent it out or to simply reject the request. The customer's offer specifies the desired maximum contract length and the payment frequency—from which the firm determines the fixed periodic payment charged. The firm makes its investment decision based on the characteristics of the offer as well as those of the product (eg, initial and resale values, useful life and carrying costs) in essence performing a complicated cost benefit analysis. An extension is also considered whereby instead of simply rejecting the request the firm can adjust the required payment amount. Dynamic programming techniques are used to address the problem and to solve for the firm's optimal decision.     

Convergence in the mean of the Fourier series in orthogonal polynomials

For weights p(t) and q(t) with a finite number of power-law-type singularities we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the inequality $$\parallel s_n^{(p)} (f)q\parallel _{L^\eta - (1,1)} \leqslant C\parallel fq\parallel _{L^\eta ( - 1,1)'}$$ to hold, where s_n ^(p)(f) is a partial sum of the Fourier series of the function f in terms of polynomials orthogonal on [?1, 1] with weight p(t). This inequality is used to solve the problem concerning convergence in the mean and also convergence almost everywhere of the partial sums s_n ^(p)(f).
