The efficiency of the iterative Monte Carlo (IMC) path integral methodology for complex time correlation functions is increased through the use of optimal grids, which are sampled from paths that span the entire path integral necklace. The two-bead marginal distributions required in each step of the IMC iteration are obtained from a recursive procedure. Applications to one-dimensional and multi...

In this paper we present a new approach to the research of manifestations of chaos in real complex system. Recently we have achieved the following information. In real complex systems the informational measure of chaos (IMC) can serve as a reliable quantitative estimation of the state of a complex system and help to estimate the deviation of this state from its normal condition. As the IMC we s...

The growth kinetics of intermetallic compound (IMC) layers formed between Sn-3Ag-6Bi-2In ball-grid-array (BGA) solder and Au/Ni/ Cu substrate by solid-state isothermal aging were examined at temperatures between 343 and 443K for 0 to 100 days. A quantitative analysis of the IMC layer thickness as a function of time and temperature was performed. The intermetallic layer exhibited a parabolic gro...

OBJECTIVES To integrate an Internet-based medical chart (IMC) system into a pharmacotherapy course to facilitate evaluation and feedback processes, foster development of written documentation skills, and prepare pharmacy students for future changes in electronic medical documentation systems. DESIGN An IMC system was introduced into a pharmacotherapy course for third-professional year pharmac...

In a companion paper (DOI: 10.021/ja410934b) we demonstrate that the C-rich strand of the cis-regulatory element in the BCL2 promoter element is highly dynamic in nature and can form either an i-motif or a flexible hairpin. Under physiological conditions these two secondary DNA structures are found in an equilibrium mixture, which can be shifted by the addition of small molecules that trap out ...

Cisapride strongly stimulates gastrointestinal motor activity simultaneously from stomach to jejunum in the interdigestive state. The contractile pattern in the stomach was quite similar to that of the natural interdigestive mingrating contractions (IMC) in all respects, frequency, contractile force, and coordination between the gastric body and antrum. However, the cisapride-induced IMC-like c...

Objetivos:La investigación sobre la influencia del modelo estético corporal en varones adolescentes es escasa. El presente estudio analiza tal influencia en varones con intensa actividad física y su influencia en la conducta alimentaria. También fueron analizadas las posibles variaciones entre 1998 y 2008. Método: Un total de 950 varones (672 en 1998 y 278 en 2008), aspirante a soldado profesio...

With organizations immersed in data (Davenport et al., 2012), developing the organizational capabilities to take advantage of this huge flow of heterogeneous data (Bharadwaj et al., 2013) has become essential for creating strategic value. This paper specifically analyzes the antecedents and consequences of IMC Information Management Capabilities (Carmichael et al.,2010; Mihtas et al.,2011; Phad...

We report the clinicopathologic features of 13 cases of intramucosal carcinoma (IMC) of the gallbladder. All IMCs were incidental findings in cholecystectomy specimens for cholelithiasis. However, one of the patients had a carcinoma of the pancreas, and the gallbladder incidentally removed during the Whipple procedure showed an IMC. Another patient had a small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder,...
