With the availability of direct acting antiviral treatment for Background: hepatitis C (HCV), HIV and HCV co-infected patients show comparable treatment responses to HCV-monoinfected patients. An 8-week course of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (SOF/LDV) is highly effective for the treatment of HCV genotype 1 infection in treatment-naïve mono-infected patients with HCV viral loads <6 million IU/ml. There...

W ithin this thesis, the Computational Fluid Dynamics method Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is applied to simulate bubble induced mixing in wastewater treatment plants for the first time. To do so, a new SPH multiphase algorithm is presented that is especially designed to be very cheap in terms of computational costs and solves the problem that air bubbles are only stable for a short tim...

Approximate solution of the ensemble representability problem for density operators of arbitrary order is obtained. This solution is closely related to the " Q condition " of A. J. Coleman. The representability conditions are formulated in orbital representation and are easy for computer implementation. They are tested numerically on the base of CI calculation of simple atomic and molecular sys...
