Das Auflösungsvermögen des Szintiscanners “Szintitest” bei der Nierenszintigraphie

Der vom VEB Vakutronik WIB Dresden hergestellete Szintiscanner “Szintitites” wird auf seine Einsatzmöglichlichkeit für die Nierenszintigraphic geprüft. Dazu werden Szintigramme von Modellen aufgenommen, die in ihren Impulsdichten in der Gröβenordnung liegen, wie sie nach Applikation von 300 500µCi¹³¹ J-Hippuran über den Nieren und dem anderen Gewebe der Patienten gefunden werden. Zum Einsatz kommt dabei der Konuskollimator mit einer Apertur von 12 mm. Die besser auflösenden 9- und 19- Kanal-Kollimatoren scheiden für die Nierenszintigraphie mit dem “Szintitest” aus, da ihre Effektivität zu gering ist. Die Einflüsse der Abtastgeschwindigkeit, einer bestimmten Untergrundzählrate und eines variablen Abstandes zwischen Scanner und Objekt werden untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich, daβ ein Körperoberfläche, nicht erreicht werden kann. Das Auflösungsvermögen als 2 cm auch im günstigsten Fall von etwa 8 cm Abstand von der Nierenoberfläche, d. h. 2 4 cm von der Köperoberfläche, nicht werden kann. Das Auflösungsvermögen verschlechtert sich dagegen noch je nach Abstand und Untergrun von 2 auf 3 cm.     

Nonlinear Galerkin methods and mixed finite elements: two-grid algorithms for the Navier-Stokes equations

Summary. A nonlinear Galerkin method using mixed finite elements is presented for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The scheme is based on two finite element spaces and for the approximation of the velocity, defined respectively on one coarse grid with grid size and one fine grid with grid size and one finite element space for the approximation of the pressure. Nonlinearity and time dependence are both treated on the coarse space. We prove that the difference between the new nonlinear Galerkin method and the standard Galerkin solution is of the order of $H^2$, both in velocity ( and pressure norm). We also discuss a penalized version of our algorithm which enjoys similar properties. Received October 5, 1993 / Revised version received November 29, 1993     

Symmetric balanced ternary designs with ϱ1 = 1 or 2

Summary We prove the following two non-existence theorems for symmetric balanced ternary designs. If ₁ = 1 and 0 (mod 4) then eitherV = + 1 or 4₂ – + 1 is a square and (4₂ – + 1) divides ² – 1. If ₁ = 2 thenV = ((m + 1)/2) ² + 2,K = (m ² + 7)/4 and = ((m – 1)/2)² + 1 wherem 3 (mod 4). An example belonging to the latter series withV = 18 is constructed.     

Energy functional depending on elastic strain and chemical composition

In this paper we deal with energy functionals depending on elastic strain and chemical composition and we obtain lower semicontinuity results, existence theorems and relaxation in the spacesH ^1,p(; ⁿ)×L ^q (; ^d) with respect to weak convergence. Our proofs use parametrized measures associated with weakly converging sequences.The research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants No. DMS-9000133 and DMS-9201215 and also by the Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation through the Center for Nonlinear Analysis.The research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation uncer Grants No. DMs 911572, the AFOSR 91 0301, the ARO DAAL03 92 G 003 and also by the ARO and the NSF through the Center for Nonlinear Analysis.The research was supported by DGICYT (Spain) through Programa de Perfeccionamiento y Movilidad del Personal Investigador and through grant PB90-0245, by the Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation through the Center for Nonlinear Analysis and also by the project EurHomogenization SC1-CT91-0732 of the European Comunity.     

Spaces from pieces IV

We are going to investigate simultaneous extensions of various topological structures (i.e. traces on several subsets at the same time are prescribed), also with separation axioms T₀, T₁, symmetry (in the sense of Part I, § 3), Riesz property, Lodato property. The following questions will be considered: (i) Under what conditions is there an extension? (ii) How can the finest extension be described? (iii) Is there a coarsest extension? (iv) Can we say more about extensions of two structures than in the general case? (v) Assume that certain subfamilies (e.g. the finite ones) can be extended; does the whole family have an extension, too? The general categorial results from Part I will be applied whenever possible (even they are not really needed).

Remarques sur les m\'ethodes de projection pour l'approximation des \'equations de Navier--Stokes

Summary. L'objet de cet article est de montrer que les estimations de convergence sur la pression pour les m\'ethodes de projection d\'ecrites dans \cite{Shen1} et \cite{Shen2} ne sont pas obtenues correctement car elles sont toutes bas\'ees sur une in\'egalit\'e fausse. Il semble qu'on ait besoin d'une convergence en de la vitesse dans pour d\'emontrer les estimations de convergence sur la pression en . La question de savoir si la m\'ethode de projection a un taux de convergence pour la pression plus \'elev\'e que reste ouverte. Received June 1, 1993     

Prime ideals and prime radicals in near-rings

This paper investigates conditions under which a prime ideal is completely prime and conditions for which every prime ideal in a near-ring is completely prime. Various implications of these conditions are examined with respect to the associated radicals.     

The drift of a one-dimensional self-repellent random walk with bounded increments

Summary Consider a one-dimensional walk (S _k ) _k having steps of bounded size, and weight the probability of the path with some factor 1–(0,1) for every single self-intersection up to timen. We prove thatS _n /S S converges towards some deterministic number called the effective drift of the self-repellent walk. Furthermore, this drift is shown to tend to the basic drift as tends to 0 and, as tends to 1, to the self-avoiding walk's drift which is introduced in [10]. The main tool of the present paper is a representation of the sequence of the local times as a functional of a certain Markov process.Partially supported by Swiss National Sciences Foundation Grant 20-36305.92     

Skew-symmetric derivations of a complex Lie algebra

Let be a complex Lie algebra, its underlying real Lie algebra, a real form of and ·, · the euclidean product induced by the real part of an hermitian inner product on . Let aut be the Lie algebra of skew-symmetric derivations of . We give necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that aut is composed of skew-hermitian derivations. As an application, we study holomorphy in large subgroups of isometries of Lie groups.
