Skeletal, renal, and intestinal effects of VX-2 carcinoma in rabbits were studied in relation to the pathogenesis of a hypercalcemic and hypophosphatemic state induced by the tumor. On the basis of an initial screening, alkaline phosphatase was chosen as a biochemical marker for monitoring any change in the cellular activity of bone, kidney, intestine, and liver in the carcinoma-bearing rabbits...

We present a novel quantum Monte Carlo method based on a path integral in Fock space, which allows the computation of finite-temperature properties of a many-body nuclear system with a monopole pairing interaction in the canonical ensemble. It enables an exact calculation of the thermodynamic variables such as the internal energy, the entropy, or the specific heat, from the measured moments of ...
