Twenty-nine urban inhabitants participated in a half-day climatotherapy programme at the moderate mountain area and lowland area in the northwest part of the main island of Japan. The current study was aimed to investigate physically and mentally the objective and subjective influence of our short programme, which was a prospective pilot study of single intervention. Blood pressure was signific...

This scientific paper gives the main research data obtained during solution of search problem to define optimal parameter values for thermal circuit К-540-23.5 turbine unit that would provide most efficient operation both version high pressure cylinder (HPC) as part and on whole. The effect distribution heat differences in stages flow used by integral quality factors has been assessed. calculat...

An explanation is offered of the morphology of the entry wound caused by a firearm projectile, of the projectile path through the body, and of the exit wound. Special consideration is given to pressure and shock waves caused and their relation to the speed of the projectile (below, equal to or superior to Mach1). The action of both pressure and shock waves is very significant, more so than ts a...

Path-integral Monte Carlo simulations of liquid helium at negative pressure have been carried out for a temperature range from the critical temperature to below the superfluid transition. We have calculated the temperature dependence of the spinodal line as well as the pressure dependence of the isothermal sound velocity in the region of the spinodal. We discuss the slope of the superfluid tran...

Pressure-induced orientational ordering transitions in solid molecular hydrogen and its isotopes are determined by path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) methods. Effective interactions among molecules in the solid are calculated in the local density approximation (LDA). Unlike previous calculations which have systematically underestimated the ordering densities for this system, the present PIMC/LDA ...
