چکیده

It is almost fifty years since Mr Bolam was injured when receiving ECT and he unsuccessfully sued the hospital for damages. However, while the world and Medicine have moved on, the principles set out by McNair J in his clear and simple direction to the jury are still in force today (though with a little gloss and froth added by successive judgments). In a nutshell, a doctor is not negligent if his advice and/or treatment accords with any practice(s) considered acceptable by his peers at the relevant time. Bolam v Friern Hospital Management Committee [1957] 1 WLR 582. The House of Lords judgment in Bolitho v City and Hackney Health Authority [1998] AC 232 implies that a judge may reject a purportedly acceptable medical practice if it is demonstrably not reasonable and logical.

High order perturbation study of the frustrated quantum Ising chain

In this paper, using high order perturbative series expansion method, the critical exponents of the order parameter and susceptibility in transition from ferromagnetic to disordered phases for 1D quantum Ising model in transverse field, with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor and anti-ferromagnetic next to nearest neighbor interactions, are calculated. It is found that for small value of the frustr...

Constacyclic Codes over Group Ring (Zq[v])/G

Recently, codes over some special finite rings especially chain rings have been studied. More recently, codes over finite non-chain rings have been also considered. Study on codes over such rings or rings in general is motivated by the existence of some special maps called Gray maps whose images give codes over fields. Quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes play a crucial role in protecting quantum ...

Quantum Chemical Investigations on C14C10-Branched-Chain Glucoside Isomers Towards Understanding Self-Assembly

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out using a Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) in an attempt to investigate the electro-molecular properties of branched-chain glucoside (C14C10-D-glucoside) isomers. The results showed that αconfiguration of pyranoside form is thermodynamically the most stable, while the solution should contain much more β...

بررسی دینامیک کوانتومی مدارهای الکتریکی مزوسکوپی با بار گسسته

  The quantum dynamics of a charged particle in an infinite chain of single-state quantum wells, in tight-binding approximation and under the action of an arbitrary time-dependent external field is investigated. The connection between the Hamiltonian description of this model and the Hamiltonian of a discrete-charge mesoscopic quantum circuit is elucidated. Based on this connection, the persist...
