It has been established that 85-90% of upper G.I. bleeds stop spontaneously, either before or soon after hospital admission, and the value of routine endoscopy in all patients has been questioned. We admitted 94 patients with well documented bleeding in an eighteen month period, 75% of whom underwent endoscopy within 24 hours. The remaining 25% were not endoscoped either because they required i...

Numerical simulation of wind waves in the bays of south-west part of the Crimea Peninsula is carried out with high space resolution. Particular attention is paid to the local characteristics of wind waves in the Sevastopol Bay. The parallel version of wind wave spectral model SWAN is implemented. The steady state waves caused by wind of different directions are considered. It is obtained that t...

German unification and the subsequent breakdown of economic activity in East Germany initiated enormous migration flows from East to West Germany. People from East Germany moved towards West Germany, where wages are higher and employment opportunities are more favourable. Our paper takes a somewhat broader perspective; it analyses migration flows between four macro regions, i.e. East, North, So...
