Concrement lithotripsy in the kidney and ureter using extracorporeal shock waves (ESWL) was performed with the aid of a 2nd-generation lithotriptor--Lithostar Siemens. Over a period of 11 months ESWL was applied in 526 patients aged 7 to 80 years, 10 of these were children. 19 patients had bilateral lithiasis so that the treatment was applied to a total of 545 renoureteral units and 698 concrem...

We nd an exact pp{gravitational wave solution of the fourth order gravity eld equations. The sourceless version of it is not a vacuum solution of General Relativity. It represents the contribution of the massive, m = (?) ?1=2 , spin{ two eld associated to the Ricci squared term in the gravitational Lagrangian. We generalize this analysis to D{dimensions, extended sources, and higher than fourth...

We investigate coronal transients associated with a GOES M6.7 class flare and a coronal mass ejection (CME) on 13 July 2004. During the rising phase of the flare, a filament eruption, loop expansion, a Moreton wave, and an ejecta were observed. An EIT wave was detected later on. The main features in the radio dynamic spectrum were a frequency-drifting continuum and two type II bursts. Our analy...

In this paper, we have studied on the solutions of modied KdV equation andalso on the stability of them. We use the tanh method for this investigationand given solutions are good-behavior. The solution is shock wave and can beused in the physical investigations

I present here a simplified model of the large scale structure in two dimensions, using a series of matter waves, stationary in time, each originating from a different position and with a slightly different wavelength. The position of each wave is chosen at random. Different methods for producing random numbers are used, and each compared with more advanced N-body simulations. This simplified m...

Using ab initio simulations and high-pressure experiments in a diamond anvil cell, we show that alumina (Al(2)O(3)) adopts the CaIrO(3)-type structure above 130 GPa. This finding substantially changes the picture of high-pressure behavior of alumina; in particular, we find that perovskite structure is never stable for Al(2)O(3) at zero Kelvin. The CaIrO(3)-type phase suggests a reinterpretation...

Since 1997, focused shock waves therapy (FSWT) has been reported to be useful in the treatment of muscle hypertonia and dystonia. More recently, also radial shock wave therapy (RSWT) has been successfully used to treat muscle hypertonia. The studies where FSWT and RSWT have been used to treat muscle hypertonia and dystonia are reviewed in this paper. The more consistent and long lasting results...
