Tables of the partition functions for nickel, Ni I - Ni X

2002

We present extensive tables of the atomic partition function (APF) for nickel ions, Ni I - Ni X. Partition functions are given over wide range of temperature, 10^3 K < T < 10^6 K, and lowering of ionization energy (0.001 eV < LIE < 5.0 eV), both taken as independent variables. Our APF take into account all energy levels predicted by quantum mechanics, including autoionization levels. The tables can be applied for the computations of model stellar atmospheres and theoretical spectra over very wide range of spectral classes, from the coolest K-M dwarfs up to the hottest main sequence, giant, and white dwarf stars. This include also model spectra of supersoft X-ray sources and accr…

Continuous subcutaneous Insulin infusion leads to immediate, table, and long-term changes in metabolic control

2008

Background:  Evaluations of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) usually focus on one pre- and one post-CSII measurement to assess metabolic therapy outcome. Aim:  Extending this research, the aim of the present study was to provide a more fine-grained analysis of achieved glycaemic control. Methods:  In 52 patients with type 1 diabetes (mean age of 37.85 years at CSII begin; s.d. ± 12.41), haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were assessed every 3 months over a period of 5 years (1 year before and 4 years after the introduction of CSII). Mixed models were utilized to describe changes in glycaemic control. Results:  The pre–post course showed that already in the first quarter, a statis…
