We investigate local update algorithms for the fully frustrated XY model on a square lattice. In addition to the standard updating procedures like the Metropolis or heat bath algorithm we include overrelaxation sweeps, implemented through single spin updates that preserve the energy of the configuration. The dynamical critical exponent (of order two) stays more or less unchanged. However, the i...

We review here some conventional as well as less conventional aspects of the time-independent and time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) theory and of its connections with Quantum Mechanics. Less conventional aspects involve the HJ theory on the tangent bundle of a configuration manifold, the quantum HJ theory, HJ problems for general differential operators and the HJ problem for Lie groups. 2000 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of creating an air-tight anastomosis and intraoperative dilatation of the hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) in reducing the early and long-term complications. STUDY DESIGN Interventional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Surgery, King Saud University, Riyadh, between March 2008 and January 2016. METHODOLOGY After completion of HJ, the anastomosis was...

Hachimi-jio-gan (HJ) is a Chinese medicine that has been widely used for the treatment of nephrotic syndromes, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. We reported that HJ lowers plasma glucose in type 1 diabetic rats. We investigated the effects of HJ on diabetic hyperglycemia and insulin secretion in type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. Eight-week-old diabetic GK rats were given free access t...

An instance I of the Hospitals / Residents problem (HR) [6, 7, 15] involves a set R = {r1, . . . , rn} of residents and a set H = {h1, . . . , hm} of hospitals. Each hospital hj ∈ H has a positive integral capacity, denoted by cj . Also, each resident ri ∈ R has a preference list in which he ranks in strict order a subset of H. A pair (ri, hj) ∈ R ×H is said to be acceptable if hj appears in ri...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability evidence for the Omron Healthcare HJ-151 and HJ-720ITC pedometers for prescribed and self-paced walking. METHODS A total of 47 adults (24 males, 23 females; age = 24 +/- 4.4 yr.; body mass index = 25.7 +/- 4.2 kg x m(-2)) participated in this study. Under prescribed walking conditions, 34 participants completed thre...

Fog is a kind of meteorological disaster, which has a serious impact on social economic activities and daily life of human beings. In this paper, the fog detection model based on the characteristics of HJ-1 satellite is put forward firstly. Then the model is tested by HJ-1B data and synchronous MODIS data in southern China at January 9, 2009. By comparing the experiment results of HJ data and M...

Hansen and Jagannathan (HJ, 1991) describe restrictions on the volatility of stochastic discount factors (SDFs) that price a given set of asset returns. This paper compares the sampling properties of different versions of HJ bounds that use conditioning information in the form of a given set of lagged instruments. HJ describe one way to use conditioning information. Their approach is to multipl...

Let σ={σi:i∈I} be a partition of the set all prime numbers. A subgroup H finite group G is said to σ-subnormal in if can joined by chain subgroups H=H0⊆H1⊆⋯⊆Hn=G where, for every j=1,⋯,n, Hj−1 normal Hj or Hj/CoreHj(Hj−1) σi-group some i∈I. B soluble normalising Nσ-residual non-σ-subnormal G, where Nσ saturated formation σ-nilpotent groups. We show that normalises does not have section σ-residu...

BACKGROUND Iatrogenic biliary stricture (IBS) is a disastrous complication of cholecystectomy. Although the endoscopic treatments are well accepted as initial attempts for IBS, surgical hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) is often necessary for a considerable proportion of patients. However, the anastomotic stricture after HJ also occurs. METHODS In the present study, a new procedure, progressive balloo...
