Let S N , N = 1, 2,... be a random walk on the integers, let α be an irrational number and let Z N = {S N α>}, where {·} denotes fractional part. Then Z N , N = 1, 2,... is a random walk on the circle, and from classical results of probability theory it follows that the distribution of Z N converges weakly to the uniform distribution. We determine the precise speed of convergence, which, in addition to the distribution of the elementary step X of the random walk S N , depends sensitively on the rational approximation properties of α.

Nuclear orientation experiments on the system89Zr→89mY in iron are described. Incomplete relaxation in the 16.1 s yttrium isomer is fitted using the theory of Shaw and Stone, including effects of polarisation of the89Zr parent state. The value of the Korringa constant, CK=0.44 sK for89mYFe, is within a factor af two of the prediction of the empirical systematic CK(μBhf/I)2∼6×1016 Ks−1.

Nuclear orientation and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments were performed on185, 187, 189Pt isotopes oriented in Fe and single crystal Zn at temperatures down to about 6 mK. The hyperfine splitting frequencies of185Pt and187Pt in iron were determined to be 164.9(2) and 261.1(2) MHz, respectively. With the hyperfine field of -126.1(2.5) T, the g-factors are deduced to be |g(185Pt)|=0.172(3) and |g(187Pt)|=0.272(5). The spectroscopic quadrupole moment of187Pt was found to be negative with magnitude similar to that of189Pt, indicating a predominantly oblate ground state deformation for both isotopes. The spectroscopic quadrupole moment of185Pt was found to be positive, with the ratio Q(185Pt)/Q(189Pt)=-3.6(9), clearly indicating a change to prolate ground state deformation. © 1998 J.C.

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, three-arm study was performed to investigate the efficacy of a medicated plaster containing the combination of diclofenac epolamine (DHEP) 180 mg and heparin 5600 IU in the treatment of unilateral blunt soft tissue injuries involving the upper or lower limb, complicated by severe local haematoma.Patients with mild-to-moderate injuries complicated by local haematoma (or =140 cm(2)) were included and randomly treated once daily with plasters containing DHEP/heparin, DHEP only, or placebo. Plasters were applied for at least 12 hours daily for 10 consecutive days.The time to complete haematoma dissolution was the primary efficacy endpoint; secondary endpoints were spontaneous pain reduction, pain on movement, muscle swelling and use of rescue analgesia.A total of 185 patients (90 males and 95 females, aged 18-80 years) were evaluated for efficacy. Baseline clinical and demographic characteristics were similar across the treatment groups. The time to complete haematoma dissolution was significantly shorter with the DHEP/heparin plaster compared with both the DHEP and placebo plasters (p0.05). Patients in the DHEP/heparin group had a 60% probability of achieving complete haematoma dissolution within the 10-day treatment period compared with patients receiving either DHEP or placebo plasters. Patient-rated reductions in pain on movement were significantly (p0.05) greater in the two active treatment groups compared with placebo. Overall, the DHEP/heparin, DHEP and placebo plasters were well-tolerated. While a reliance on patient self-reporting had the potential to limit the usefulness of some data obtained in this study, the investigators accounted for this accordingly.The plaster formulation combining DHEP and heparin relieves pain and induces faster dissolution of superficial haematomas, and may therefore contribute to a more rapid and complete recovery.

An extensive on-line nuclear orientation study of the angular distribution in favoured α-decay of Bi, At and Rn nuclei near the Z=82 and N=126 shell closures, performed at ISOLDE is presented. Surprisingly large αanisotropies were observed, showing systematic changes from one isotope to the next. Comparison with various theoretical models proves that anisotropic α-emission in favoured decays of near-spherical nuclei is determined by the structure of the decaying nucleus.

The status of the EDELWEISS experiment (underground dark matter search with heat-ionisation bolometers) is reviewed. Auspicious results achieved with a prototype 70 g Ge heat-ionisation detector under a 2 V reverse bias tension are discussed. Based on gamma and neutron calibrations, a best-case rejection factor, over the 15-45 keV range, of 99.7 % for gammas, with an acceptance of 94 % for neutrons, is presented first. Some operational results of physical interest obtained under poor low radioactivity conditions follow. They include a raw event rate of around 30 events/day/kg/keV over the same energy range, and, after rejection of part of the background, lead to a conservative upper limit on the signal of approximately 1.6 events/day/kg/keV at a 90 % confidence level. Performance degrading surface effects of the detector are speculated upon; and planned upgrades are summarized., 5 pages, 4 eps figures, LaTeX requires espcrc2.sty; Proceedings of TAUP97, Gran Sasso, Italy, September 7-11, 1997

Magnetic moments around the Z=40 shell closure have been established using nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei (NMR/ON) in iron. From the resonance frequencies we established |μ(91Y;9/2+)|=5.96(6)μN, |μ(95Zr;5/2+)|= 1.103(23)μN, | μ(97Nb;9/2+)| = 6.153(5)μN. From the electric quadrupole alignement of95Zr+95Nb in a Zr single crystal Q(95Zr)=+0.29(5)b and Q(95Nb)

First experiments in the systematic study of the structure of ground states and isomeric states of Br isotopes as function of neutron number at ISOLDE, CERN are reported. The isotopes74g.74m,77,78,84g,84mBr have been implanted into iron and studied with the techniques of low temperature nuclear orientation and nuclear magnetic resonance of oriented nuclei (NMR/ON). The experiments were performed with the NICOLE on-line nuclear orientation set-up using the isotope separator ISOLDE-3. NMR/ON experiments were successful for74mBr with continuous on-line implantation and for77Br. Using as value of the hyperfine field Bhf(BrFe)=+81.3S (3) T we obtain |g (74mBr)|=0.455 (3) and |g (77Br)|=0.6492 (3). Static nuclear orientation data have been measured for all above mentioned isotopes. From these data we derive |μ(78Br, I=1)|=0.13 (3) and |μ(84gBr, I=2)|=1.9 (7). The results are discussed within the systematics of the bromine isotopes.

Precise hyperfine field value of zinc in iron has been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei (NMR/ON): Bhf (ZnFe)=−18.785 (35) T at 7 mK. The relaxation constant of Zn in iron is established CK=14(3) Ks. The new hyperfine field value of zinc in iron allows a more precise reevaluation of the magnetic moments of69mZn and71mZn measured with NMR/ON.

Defect-induced field electric field gradients, generated by ion implantation of125I in α- and β-Sn and in graphite, were used to obtain local nuclear orientation at low temperatures. The resulting nuclear orientation at the parent125I state was detected by125Te Mossbaner spectroscopy. From the measured nuclear quadrupole interaction strengths at the parent state, the electric field gradient and the cooling behavior of implanted atoms were studied.

In normal conditions, proteins are not present in the urine, however, exercise of long duration could result in proteinurea. Increased levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) are formed during exhaustive physical exercise and causes alterations to cellular proteins.In the present study serum and urinary nitrotyrosine and protein carbonyl levels were measured before and after each run of a 4-day super-marathon race.Serum nitrotyrosine and protein carbonyl levels increased after the first (93 km) day running and reached a plateau on the second (120 km), third (56 km) and forth (59 km) days of the competition. A significant correlation was found between urinary and serum protein carbonyl and nitrotyrosine levels (r=0.78, r=0.71, respectively). A large percentage of urinary proteins were carbonylated and nitrated. Therefore, it appears that clearance of oxidized proteins in certain conditions occurs not only by the proteolytic pathways but also by filtration and urination.Data reveals that exhaustive aerobic exercise causes oxidative stress and increases the nitration and carbonylation of serum proteins. The presence of carbonyl and nitrotyrosine in proteins of the urine might reflect oxidative stress and could serve as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for exercise physiology.

A first characterization of a 1100 g sapphire bolometer, performed at sea level and at a working temperature of 40 mK, is presented. Despite perturbations coming from the high-radioactive background and cosmic rays, calibration spectra could be achieved with an internal α source and a 57 Co γ-ray source: the experimental threshold is 25 keV, while the FWHM resolution is 17.4 keV for the 122 keV peak. Possible heat release effects are discussed, and a new limit of 9×10−14 W/g is obtained for sapphire.

Complete rupture of the pectoralis major muscle, first described by Patissier in 1822, is a rare sports injury. Less than 100 cases have been reported in the literature since 1822. In this study, we describe our surgical technique and summarize our results and experience of the surgical treatment of pectoralis major rupture. Seven athletes (4 wrestlers, 2 handball players, 1 body-builder) were surgically treated in our department from 1981 to 1996. During the follow-up examination, five patients had excellent and two had good results, and six athletes could return to sports activity at their preoperative level. Among our patients we emphasize that of a wrestler, who had suffered an acute rupture, and 3 months after the surgery he won an Olympic gold medal. According to the literature and our experience, we suggest that only surgical repair of the acute pectoralis major rupture will result in both complete recovery and restoration of the full strength of the muscle, essential for active athletes.

A dark matter detection experiment using a low temperature 24 g sapphire bolometer is presented. The low radioactive background cryogenic facility, installed in a deep underground site, is described, as well as the low-noise read-out electronics and the data analysis. From the energy spectrum, measured down to 4 keV, exclusion plots are derived for WIMPs having coherent vector coupling or axial coupling to ordinary matter.

Authors treated 34 patients from 1989 to 1992 with restricted knee movements in the Department of Sport Medicine. The average age of the patients was 32 years, the youngest was 16 and the eldest was 54 years old, and the female male ratio was 14/20. 71% of the patients had some kind of ligament surgery in the past. Arthrolysis was performed in 24 cases. 13 cases out of 24 was performed arthroscopically and the rest was done following arthrotomy. Manipulation under anaesthesia was satisfactory in 5 cases, 4 patients had combined treatment and 1 had extraarticular intervention only. The range of motion was 0-11-81 degrees to start with, and it has improved up to 0-2-124 degrees in average 13 month time following the arthrolysis. There was correlation between the restriction and between the time of primary ligament reconstruction, the sex and the age of the patients. To perform the arthrolysis in time is important and the physiotherapist and the constant passive motion is inevitable.

The bolometric properties of a 2 g LiF single crystal have been investigated below 100 mK under alpha and thermal neutron irradiation. The reported energy resolution at 5 MeV on both alphas and the neutron capture line of the n( 6 Li, α)t reaction is 16 keV FWHM. Evidence is given for a dependence of the thermal response on the nature of the absorbed radiation. Light emission of undoped LiF has been investigated down to 10 K under gamma and alpha irradiation. We discuss the possibility to use LiF bolometers in dark matter detection experiments and neutron spectrometry.

Defect induced electric field gradients were generated by ion implantation of125I in highly B-doped p-Si and P-doped n-Si. The resulting low temperature nuclear orientation at the parent125I state was detected by125Te Mossbauer spectroscopy. From the asymmetry of the Mossbauer spectrum, the sign of the quadrupole interaction can be derived. This sign is found to be the same for n-Si as for p-Si.

The methods of time-resolved and time-integral on-line nuclear orientation have been applied to study short lived nuclei with the NICOLE facility (Nuclear Implantation into Cold On-Line Equipment) at ISOLDE-3 in CERN using beams of 182-186Hg. The half-lives in these decay chains are of the order of seconds and therefore comparable to the spin-lattice relaxation times of the nuclei in iron. As the relaxation rate depends strongly on the g-factor, g-factors of nuclei in the decay chains can be deduced from the observation of the time evolution of γ-ray anisotropy. Using this technique the existence of an isomer in 184Au has been found and the g-factors of 184Au, 184mAu and 182Au have been determined. Accurate half-lives have been extracted from the data. Time-integral nuclear orientation has been observed for short lived as well as longer lived isotopes of the Hg decay chains. From these measurements, after proper correction for incomplete relaxation, the magnetic moments of 183mPt, 183Ir and 182Ir have been derived. The applicability of the time-resolved nuclear orientation technique for nuclei far from stability and its possible limitations is discussed. © 1992 J.C. Baltzer A.G., Scientific Publishing Company.

α-particle angular distribution data from an extensive on-line nuclear orientation study of the favoured decay of nearly spherical, neutron deficient At and Rn nuclei near N=126, as well as of deformed Fr and Pa isotopes are presented. From the comparison of these data with various theoretical models it is found that for nearly spherical nuclei, anisotropic α-emission in favoured decays can be well explained within the shell model but not by a tunnelling model. On the other hand, for the deformed nuclei studied here, a description on the basis of α-particle tunelling through the Coulomb barrier is quite appropriate.

188-189Ir and 189-191Pt have been oriented at low temperature in the hyperfine magnetic field in iron. Precise energy measurements of some high-energy gamma rays in the disintegration of 188Ir have also been performed, resulting in the modification of the high-energy level scheme of 188Os. In the daughter nuclei spins and parities of excited states and multipole mixing ratios of transitions are established. For some non-unique electron-capture transitions jbeta =0/jbeta =1 intensity ratios are also deduced. Results are analysed in terms of mixed p3/2 and f5/2 configurations in the neutron shell.

A new kinetic method for the assay of aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1) is described. By the oxidation of pyridoxal as a substrate, pyridoxic acid and hydrogen peroxide are formed. Hydrogen peroxide is subsequently reduced to water by the action of peroxidase, while the chromogen 2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) is oxidized to a blue-greenish-dyed product. The absorbance increase of the oxidized form of ABTS, registered every minute at 410 nm, is proportional to aldehyde oxidase activity.

It is demonstrated that the detection of low temperature nuclear orientation by Mossbauer spectroscopy, rather than by the observation of the angular distribution of the emitted radiation, allows to determine nuclear quadrupole interaction strengths generated by randomly oriented defect-induced electric field gradients in cubic lattices. Also the cooling behaviour of radioactive nuclei implanted in semiconductors is studied.

The low-temperature orientation of 193Os in an iron matrix and the Mossbauer effect of the 73 keV transition lead to mu (193OsGS)=+0.75(3) mu N. The gamma-ray distribution coefficients combined with a quadrupole alignment measurement from the literature give Q(193OsGS)=+0.48(6)b. Several mixing parameters delta (E2/M1) in 193Ir are also determined. The odd-mass Os nuclei are discussed in the light of mixing between 3/2-(512) and 1/2-(510) Nilsson orbitals.

Unperturbed and perturbed angular correlation and conversion electron measurements have been performed to obtain spectroscopic information on the low-lying levels of $^{129}\mathrm{Xe}$ fed by the decay of $^{129}\mathrm{Cs}$. We established ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}(318\mathrm{keV})={\frac{3}{2}}^{+}$, ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}(411\mathrm{keV})={\frac{1}{2}}^{+}$, ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}(589\mathrm{keV})={\frac{3}{2}}^{+}$, $\ensuremath{\delta}(39.6\mathrm{keV})=\ensuremath{-}(2.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$, $\ensuremath{\delta}(177\mathrm{keV})=0.44\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}013$, $\ensuremath{\delta}(372\mathrm{keV})=+0.97\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.09$, $\ensuremath{\mu}(39.6\mathrm{keV})=+(0.88\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.26){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{N}$. $B(M1)$ and $B(E2)$ values are derived from above data and earlier lifetime determinations. A weak-coupling calculation is presented to explain experimental data.

This paper has three parts. In the first, it is thrown light about the economics of innovation departing from Schumpeter up to now. The main message is that innovation is a key issue to get economic wealth. But this is not without creating ups and downs in society using market economics and being liberal democracy. In the second, the global village's wealth at the long run is illuminated giving a world's legitimacy to the concern for innovation. In the third, a new knowledge policy is proposed. It is a way to capitalise on a wider spectrum of knowledge than today through market economics. Indeed, the new policy looks at the full set of knowledge a society from a given civilisation has at a certain moment of time. This seems to be more relevant when markets are open and civilisations encounter more than in the past. The new knowledge policy is a way to get new and more shared growth than in the past.

152,153,154m1,154m2,156,160Tb isotopes have been oriented in a gadolinium matrix at low temperature. A new nuclear thermometer and a consistent evaluation procedure have been developed. The following nuclear moments are derived from the measurements. 156Tb(3-): mod mu mod =1.68(21) mu N, Q=+1.9(7) b; 154Tbm1(3-); mod mu mod =1.8(39) mu N, Q=+2.4(13) b; 153Tb(5/2+): mod mu mod =3.5(7) mu N; 152Tb(2-): mod mu mod =0.60(44) mu N, Q=+0.4(14) b. Using a reasonable approximation for the electric quadrupole moments mod mu (152Tb; 2- mod =0.9(1) mu N and mod mu (154Tbm2(7-) mod =0.9(3) mu N are obtained. The magnetic moments of the odd-odd nuclei allow their proton and neutron configurations to be determined. Experimental magnetic moments are confronted with rotor+quasiparticle calculations involving Coriolis mixing. Reduced electromagnetic transition probabilities are compared with rotational-model calculations using the measured static electromagnetic moments.

Low temperature nuclear orientation (LTNO) of neutron deficient85m, 86m+g,87m, 90mY nuclei is described. The magnetic moments are compared with those of neighbouring nuclei.

The extraction of relevant information in texts constitutes a fundamental process of text mining. We realize this process with a linguistic platform (ILC) for recognition and extraction of terms and their linguistic variants from corpora. We present a methodology to enhance the recognition of syntactic term variation in English using syntactic and morphosyntactic features. Those modifications contribute to improve filtering of the variants and to assist the expert in validating indexation

$^{87}\mathrm{Y}^{m}$ produced by the $\mathrm{Rb}(\ensuremath{\alpha},2n)$ reaction and implanted into cubic Al and Au hosts has been oriented with 2-6 T external magnetic fields at low temperature.

What do we mean by “anthropology” ? We can find the answer in dictionaries and encyclopaedias. This first text compares five definitions, presents their similarities and differences. All of them distinguish two connotations of the term : the palaeontological approach which tries to place man within the animal chain on the one hand, and the process of human socialization and civilization on the other. Any differences depend on how we interpret these two alternatives and their meaning by extension. Finally, the result of these variations is set out in a semantic field, supplemented by quotations, proverbs, analogies and expressions from five other dictionaries.

Absorption Mossbauer spectra were measured on low temperature (6–21 mK) oriented nuclei. For magnetic orientation this method allows the determination of the sign of the parent state magnetic moment. The method enables the determination of the parent state quadrupole coupling even for a polycrystalline sample. Signs of ground state magnetic moments for191Pt and193Os, and electric quadrupole moments for125Tem and129Te are determined.

Higher order level mixing resonance have been measured on the 40 s half-life 109m Ag in Zn. It is shown that the line-width is tunable with the misalignment angle of the electric to magnetic axes, and enables precise quadruple coupling determinations. For 109 m Ag Zn eQV zz /μ = 3.08(2) T has established.

This paper deals with the perturbation of low temperature nuclear orientation in an intermediate state by an interaction not axially symmetric around the orientation axis. The directional distribution of the emitted radiation is factorized into initial orientation tensors and perturbation factors known from perturbed angular correlation theory. Low temperature nuclear orientation coefficients have been calculated numerically for111Cd in a polycrystalline sample with axially symmetric electric field gradient. Nuclear orientation experiment on111In in indium host confirms theoretical perturbation predictions and demonstrates the sensitivity of the method on different parameters. Moreover this orientation allows the determination, in magnitude and sign of111In (ground state) nuclear magnetic moment: μ = +5.48(10)μn.

This review deals with problems concerning ground and long-lived metastable states. The interest of magnetic moments in the knowledge of the nuclear configurations and the couplings is shown. Static, dynamic and transient orientations, and the angular distribution of the emitted radiation by oriented nuclei are discussed.

The level crossing and level mixing resonance methods have been developed in order to enable the measurement of quadrupole interaction frequencies of nuclei with lifetimes between microseconds and minutes in solids. Both methods are shown to be better suited for application 1n this lifetime region than the existing ones. Only the level mixing resonance method can be applied to nuclei with lifetimes up to several minutes. A review of our level crossing and level mixing experiments is also given in this paper.

A direct lifetime measurement of the first excited level of 57 Co and the rotation of the angular correlation pattern of the 127–1378 keV cascade in an internal magnetic field have been investigated. The measured values are τ = 28±5 ps and g = +1.9±0.6. The lifetime is compared with that of the lowest excited states of 59 Co.

The resonances in the F19+p reactions have been investigated at 483 and 597 keV proton energies. With Ep = 483 keV resonance data for α-branching, proton capture and upper limits of the (p, p′) reaction have been obtained. Combining these data with the results of angular distribution measurements of γ-rays, spin and parity 1+ have been assigned to the 13.332 MeV level in Ne20 excited by 483 keV protons. From corresponding measurements with Ep = 597 keV, resonance data have been obtained favouring the previously tentatively assumed 2− assignment to the 13.440 MeV level in Ne20.

In case of sectorial magnetic fields the location of image shifts from its geometrically calculated position on account of a fringing field. We have calculated the lateral displacement. This has been compensated for in actual measurements by altering the field intensity. The calculated alteration of field intensity has been checked experimentally.

The γ-radiation of the first three resonances (Ep = 355 keV, 440 keV and 540 keV) in the P31(p,γ)S32 nuclear reaction has been investigated. The angular distribution recorded for the 9 MeV γ-radiation enabled spin and parity assignments of 1± to be made for the resonances both at the 9.185 MeV and the 9.267 MeV levels. Analysis of the angular distribution of the 7 MeV radiation and of the angular correlation between the latter and the 2 MeV radiation shows that spin and parity of 2+ can be assigned to the 9.367 MeV level.
