Prevalence of anatomical variants and coronary anomalies in 543 consecutive patients studied with 64-slice CT coronary angiography
2008
The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of variants and anomalies of the coronary artery tree in patients who underwent 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CT-CA) for suspected or known coronary artery disease. A total of 543 patients (389 male, mean age 60.5 +/- 10.9) were reviewed for coronary artery variants and anomalies including post-processing tools. The majority of segments were identified according to the American Heart Association scheme. The coronary dominance pattern results were: right, 86.6%; left, 9.2%; balanced, 4.2%. The left main coronary artery had a mean length of 112 +/- 55 mm. The intermediate branch was present in the 21.9%. A variable number …
Anatomical variants and anomalies of the coronary tree studied with MDCT coronary angiography
2010
Le anomalie delle arterie coronariche sono presenti alla nascita nella maggior parte dei casi asintomatiche ma possono manifestarsi con sintomatologia severa quale angina pectoris o addirittura l’arresto cardiaco. L’angiografia coronarica mediante tomografia computerizzata multistrato (TCMS) permette, tramite ricostruzioni multiplanari secondo piani curvilinei e riformattazioni 3D, la visualizzazione dell’albero coronarico e delle sue varianti ed anomalie in maniera non invasiva, fornendo migliore e più accurata alternativa alla angiografia coronarica (AC). Lo scopo di questo pictorial consiste nella descrizione mediante immagini TCMS con ricostruzioni multiplanari e 3D delle principali var…
An orbital-invariant internally contracted multireference coupled cluster approach.
2011
We have formulated and implemented an internally contracted multireference coupled cluster (ic-MRCC) approach aimed at solving two of the problems encountered in methods based on the Jeziorski-Monkhorst ansatz: (i) the scaling of the computational and memory costs with respect to the number of references, and (ii) the lack of invariance of the energy with respect to rotations among active orbitals. The ic-MRCC approach is based on a straightforward generalization of the single-reference coupled cluster ansatz in which an exponential operator is applied to a multiconfigurational wave function. The ic-MRCC method truncated to single and double excitations (ic-MRCCSD) yields very accurate pote…
Unitarity Triangle from CP invariant quantities
2006
We construct the CKM unitarity triangle from CP invariant quantities, using the coupling constant of weak decays with flavor change from b to u, and the particle - antiparticle mixing probability in the B_s and B_d systems. Also included are new measurements of the coupling V_us in Kaon decays. Of the two solutions, one agrees perfectly with the triangle constructed from CP violating processes in the K and B meson systems. The common solution yields a triangle with an area of J/2 = (1.51 +/- 0.09) x 10^{-5} and a CP violating phase gamma = 63.1^o +/- 4.0^o.
Kaon Photo- and Electroproduction on Nucleons
1995
We extend previous models of kaon photo- and electroproduction in order to include all six isospin channels. It is found that the inclusion of the few available data for the reactions γp → K 0 Σ − in the fit leads to drastically reduced Born coupling constants g Λ and g Σ . The result suggests the need to include hadronic form factors in a gauge invariant fashion. It is also shown that the K 0 form factor can be seen in K 0 Λ electroproduction.

Gestācijas dominantes psiholoģiskās komponentes hipogestognostiskā varianta izplatība un saistība ar atioforiognoziju dzemdību palīdzības iestādes pa…
2015
Ievads. Gestācijas dominantes psiholoģiskā komponente ir psihisko pašregulācijas mehānismu kopums grūtniecības saglabāšanai. Hipogestognostiskais variants raksturīgs sievietēm, kuras apzināti vai biežāk neapzināti nepieņem savu grūtniecību. Sakarā ar to, ka gestācijas dominantes psiholoģiskās komponentes hipogestognostiskais variants ir cieši saistīts ar grūtniecības noliegšanu, kas apdraud gan mātes, gan bērna dzīvību, nepieciešams pēc iespējas agrīni novērtēt grūtnieces psiholoģisko stāvokli. Pētījuma mērķis. Veicot prospektīvo pētījumu novērtēt grūtnieču gestācijas dominantes psiholoģiskās komponentes hipogestognostiskā varianta biežumu, kā arī noskaidrot grūtniecības nelabvēlīga iznākum…
Fast and low-cost decentralized surveillance of transmission of tuberculosis based on strain-specific PCRs tailored from whole genome sequencing data…
2015
Molecular epidemiology has transformed our knowledge of how tuberculosis (TB) is transmitted. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has reached unprecedented levels of accuracy. However, it has increased technical requirements and costs, and analysis of data delays results. Our objective was to find a way to reconcile speed and ease of implementation with the high resolution of WGS. The targeted regional allele-specific oligonucleotide PCR (TRAP) assay presented here is based on allele-specific PCR targeting strain-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms, identified from WGS, and makes it possible to track actively transmitted Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. A TRAP assay was optimized to track…
Connection between optimal control theory and adiabatic-passage techniques in quantum systems
2012
This work explores the relationship between optimal control theory and adiabatic passage techniques in quantum systems. The study is based on a geometric analysis of the Hamiltonian dynamics constructed from the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. In a three-level quantum system, we show that the Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage technique can be associated to a peculiar Hamiltonian singularity. One deduces that the adiabatic pulse is solution of the optimal control problem only for a specific cost functional. This analysis is extended to the case of a four-level quantum system.
