Gazeau–Klauder coherent states examined from the viewpoint of diagonal ordering operation technique

In this paper we investigate the Gazeau–Klauder coherent states using a newly introduced diagonal ordering operation technique, in order to examine some of the properties of these coherent states. The results coincide with those obtained from other purely algebraic methods, but the calculations are greatly simplified. We apply the general theory to two cases of Gazeau–Klauder coherent states： pseudoharmonic as well as the Morse oscillators.

Quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform based on the IWOP technique

In our previous papers,the classical fractional Fourier transform theory was incorporated into the quantum theoretical system using the theoretical method of quantum optics,and the calculation produced quantum mechanical operators corresponding to the generation of fractional Fourier transform.The core function of the coordinate-momentum exchange operators in the addition law of fractional Fourier transform was analyzed too.In this paper,the bivariate operator Hermite polynomial theory and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators(IWOP)are used to establish the entanglement fractional Fourier transform theory to the extent of quantum.A new function generating formula and an operator for generating quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform are obtained using the fractional Fourier transform relationship in a pair of conjugated entangled state representations.

A New System of Variational Inclusions with （H,η）-accretive Operators in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we first introduce a new class of generalized accretive operators named （H,η）-accretive in Banach space. By studying the properties of （H,η）-accretive, we extend the concept of resolvent operators associated with m-accretive operators to the new （H,η）-accretive operators. In terms of the new resolvent operator technique, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions for this new system of variational inclusions. We also construct a new algorithm for approximating the solution of this system and discuss the convergence of the sequence of iterates generated by the algorithm.

Treatment of lower part of glenoid fractures through a novel axillary approach:A case report

BACKGROUND Based on the location and size of the fracture block,open reduction and internal fixation can be employed or assisted for shoulder arthroscopy in the treatment of glenoid fractures.However,the treatment of lower part of glenoid fractures through a novel axillary approach has not been reported so far.CASE SUMMARY A 22-year-old right-handed man was transferred to our outpatient clinic because of right shoulder injury during a traffic accident.X-ray examination after admission suggested the fracture of the lower part of the right glenoid and an ipiselial proximal humeral fracture.Three-dimensional(3D)computed tomography(CT)further suggested that the size of the fracture block of the lower part of the right glenoid was 3.4 mm×16.2 mm.The patient was diagnosed as the fracture of the lower part of the glenoid,also known as bony Bankart lesion without shoulder dislocation.After general anesthesia,the patient was surgically treated with the open reduction internal fixation through a novel axillary approach.3D CT and shoulder joint function were reexamined at 12 mo of followup,showing acceptable recovery.CONCLUSION This case report describes a novel axillary approach adopted in an open reduction with cannulated screw and wire anchor internal fixation.After a follow-up for more than 12 mo,3D CT and shoulder joint function examinations display a good recovery.

Non-Markovian dynamics of a qubit in a reservoir: different solutions of non-Markovian master equation

We present a non-Markovian master equation for a qubit interacting with a general reservoir, which is derived according to the Nakajima-Zwanzig and the time convolutionless projection operator technique. The non-Markovian solutions and Markovian solution of dynamical decay of a qubit are compared. The results indicate the validity of non-Markovian approach in different coupling regimes and also show that the Markovian master equation may not precisely describe the dynamics of an open quantum system in some situation. The non-Markovian solutions may be effective for many qubits independently interacting with the heated reservoirs.

New formulas for normalizing photon-added(-subtracted) two-mode squeezed thermal states

For the first time,we derive the compact forms of normalization factors for photon-added（-subtracted） two-mode squeezed thermal states by using the P-representation and the integration within an ordered product of operators（IWOP） technique.It is found that these two factors are related to the Jacobi polynomials.In addition,some new relationships for Jacobi polynomials are presented.

Review of operative considerations in spinal cord stem cell therapy

Spinal cord injury(SCI)can permanently impair motor and sensory function and has a devastating cost to patients and the United States healthcare system.Stem cell transplantation for treatment of SCI is a new technique aimed at creating biological functional recovery.Operative techniques in stem cell transplantation for SCI are varied.We review various clinical treatment paradigms,surgical techniques and technical considerations important in SCI treatment.The NCBI PubMed database was queried for“SCI”and“stem cell”with a filter placed for“clinical trials”.Thirty-nine articles resulted from the search and 29 were included and evaluated by study authors.A total of 10 articles were excluded(9 not SCI focused or transplantation focused,1 canine model).Key considerations for stem cell transplantation include method of delivery(intravenous,intrathecal,intramedullary,or excision and engraftment),time course of treatment,number of treatments and time from injury until treatment.There are no phase III clinical trials yet,but decreased time from injury to treatment and a greater number of stem cell injections both seem to increase the chance of functional recovery.

“One-man” bailout technique for high-speed rotational atherectomy——assisted percutaneous coronary intervention in an octogenarian

Heavily calcified coronary lesions continue to represent a challenge for percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),as they are difficult to dilate,and it is difficult to deliver and implant drug-eluting stents(DES)properly.Poor stent deployment is associated with high rates of periprocedural complications and suboptimal long-term clinical outcomes.[1]Thanks to the introduction of several adjunctive PCI tools,like cutting and scoring balloons,and to the novel intravascular lithotripsy technology,the treatment of such lesions has become increasingly feasible,predictable and safe.

A Ka-band Solid-state Transmitter Cloud Radar and Data Merging Algorithm for Its Measurements

This study concerns a Ka-band solid-state transmitter cloud radar, made in China, which can operate in three different work modes, with different pulse widths, and coherent and incoherent integration numbers, to meet the requirements for cloud remote sensing over the Tibetan Plateau. Specifically, the design of the three operational modes of the radar（i.e., boundary mode M1, cirrus mode M2, and precipitation mode M3） is introduced. Also, a cloud radar data merging algorithm for the three modes is proposed. Using one month＇s continuous measurements during summertime at Naqu on the Tibetan Plateau,we analyzed the consistency between the cloud radar measurements of the three modes. The number of occurrences of radar detections of hydrometeors and the percentage contributions of the different modes＇ data to the merged data were estimated.The performance of the merging algorithm was evaluated. The results indicated that the minimum detectable reflectivity for each mode was consistent with theoretical results. Merged data provided measurements with a minimum reflectivity of -35 dBZ at the height of 5 km, and obtained information above the height of 0.2 km. Measurements of radial velocity by the three operational modes agreed very well, and systematic errors in measurements of reflectivity were less than 2 dB. However,large discrepancies existed in the measurements of the linear depolarization ratio taken from the different operational modes.The percentage of radar detections of hydrometeors in mid- and high-level clouds increased by 60% through application of pulse compression techniques. In conclusion, the merged data are appropriate for cloud and precipitation studies over the Tibetan Plateau.

Unifying the theory of integration within normal-,Weyl- and antinormal-ordering of operators and the s-ordered operator expansion formula of density operators

By introducing the s-parameterized generalized Wigner operator into phase-space quantum mechanics we invent the technique of integration within s-ordered product of operators （which considers normally ordered, antinormally ordered and Weyl ordered product of operators as its special cases）. The s-ordered operator expansion （denoted by s…s ） formula of density operators is derived, which isρ=2/1-s∫d^2β/π〈-β｜ρ｜β〉sexp{2/s-1（s｜β｜^2-β＊α＋βa-αα）}s The s-parameterized quantization scheme is thus completely established.

Some new generating function formulae of the two-variable Hermite polynomials and their application in quantum optics

We derive some new generating function formulae of the two-variable Hermite polynomials, such as ∞∑n=0tm/m!Hn,2m（x）,∞∑n=0sntm/n!m!H2n,2m（x,y）,and ∞∑n=0sntm/n!m!H2n＋l,2m＋k（x,y）.We employ the operator Hermite polynomial method and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators to solve these problems, which will be useful in constructing new optical field states.

Two mutually conjugated tripartite entangled states and their fractional Fourier transformation kernel

We newly construct two mutually-conjugate tripartite entangled state representations, based on which we propose the formulation of three-mode entangled fractional Fourier transformation （EFFT） and derive the transformation kernel. The EFFT＇s additivity property is proved and the eigenmode of EFFT is derived. As an application, we calculate the EFFT of the three-mode squeezed vacuum state.

System of set-valued mixed quasi-variational-like inclusions involving H-η-monotone operators in Banach spaces

A new system of the set-valued mixed quasi-variational-like inclusions （SSMQVLI） involving H-η-monotone operators is studied in general Banach spaces without uniform smoothness. By using the resolvent operator technique of H-η-monotone operators, a new iterative algorithm for finding approximate solutions to SSMQVLI is proposed. It is shown that the iterative sequences generated by the algorithm converge strongly to the exact solution of SSMQVLI under appropriate assumptions. These obtained new results have extended and improved previous results.

The s-parameterized Weyl-Wigner correspondence in the entangled form and its applications

Proximal point algorithm for a new class of fuzzy set-valued variational inclusions with (H,η)-monotone mappings

We introduced a new class of fuzzy set-valued variational inclusions with (H,η)-monotone mappings. Using the resolvent operator method in Hilbert spaces, we suggested a new proximal point algorithm for finding approximate solutions, which strongly converge to the exact solution of a fuzzy set-valued variational inclusion with (H,η)-monotone. The results improved and generalized the general quasi-variational inclusions with fuzzy set-valued mappings proposed by Jin and Tian Jin MM, Perturbed proximal point algorithm for general quasi-variational inclusions with fuzzy set-valued mappings, OR Transactions, 2005, 9(3): 31-38, (In Chinese); Tian YX, Generalized nonlinear implicit quasi-variational inclusions with fuzzy mappings, Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2001, 42: 101-108.

Construction of a model of autologous blood intracerebral hemorrhage in rats with a double injection and double needle withdrawal and the characteristics of the operative technique

BACKGROUND ： Experimental animal models of intracerebral hemorrhag （ICH） are greatly needed, so the process of establishment should be ideal in hematoma formation and easy to operate. OBJECTIVE ： To construct model of ICH in rats with double injection of autologous blood taken from the cut tail cut and double withdrawal of the needle （shortened as two-step injection model）, and compare with those induced by single and double injections. DESIGN ： A randomized controlled tria SETTING： Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS： Thirty male Wistar rats of 10 to 12 months, weighing （400±25） g, provided by the Experimental Center of Medical Animals, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA, were divided randomly into 3 groups with 10 rats in each group： two-step injection group, single injection group, double injection group. METHODS ： The experiment was carried out in the Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from March to June in 2004. Autologous blood ICH model in rats were established as follows： In the two-step injection group, 50 μL unclotted autologous blood was taken from the rat tail cut, then injected with microsyringe into the caudate nucleus, 10 μL injected at first, paused for 2 minutes, and then the rest 40 μL injected slowly and continuously within 2 minutes. After the injection, the needle was kept immovable for about 4 minutes, withdrawn 2.0 mm, again kept immovable for about 4 minute, and then removed wholly at a slow speed. In the single injection group, 50 μL unclotted tail blood was injected slowly and continuously all within 2 minutes and the needle was slowly removed;（4） In the double injection group, 10 mL blood was injected at first, paused for 2 minutes, the rest 40 μL injected evenly within 2 minutes, and then the needle was withdrawn slowly and uninterruptedly. Neurologic findings were scored in accordance with Longa＇s five-point scale （0-4 scores, the higher the score, the severer the neurological dysfunction）. The rats were killed to remove and sections were prepared, the morphological features of hematomas were grossly observed, the maximal diameter and size of hematomas in each slice were measured with the imaging analytical system, and the volume was calculated. Meanwhile, the conveniences of the techniques were compared. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The morphological features and volume of hematomas, neurologic deficit score （NDS）, and the convenience of the techniques were compared. RESULTS： All the 30 rats were involved in the analysis of results without deletion. （1） Results of the morphological observation of volume of hematoma： In the two-step injection group, hematomas located in the right caudate nucleus area regularly in circular or analogously circular shape in each slice. The formation rate of hematomas in the single injection group and double injection group were lower than those in the two-step injection group [60% （6/10）, 80% （8/10）, 100% （10/10）, P〈 0.01, 0.05]. The volume of hematomas in the single injection group and double injection group were smaller than those in the two-step injection group [（28.5±14.8）, （33.4±7.4）, （41.6±3.9） mm3, P〈 0.01, 0.05]. （2） NDS results： The NDS scores in the single injection group and double injection group were smaller than that in the two-step injection group （0.90±0.83, 1.30±0.78, 1.90±0.57, P〈 0.05）. （3）Comparison of the convenience of the techniques： The double injection method allowed generating reproducible hematomas in rats with shortcomings that it needed autologous arterial blood from femoral artery, and precision instruments such as microinfusion pump. The two-step injection injected fresh unclotting blood taken directly from the tail cut with microsyringe into the rat brain, and it has the advantages of easy operation, no influence on the activity of thrombase, shorter duration for model establishment, and higher rate of hematoma formation, which could generate ideal and economical models of ICH. The two-step injection induced hemotoma regularly in circular or analogously circular shape in each slice, but those induced by single and double injections were mostly in strip or fusiform shapes and extending along the needle tracks or into the ventricle or subarachnoid space. CONCLUSION ： The autologous blood ICH model induced by the two-step injection method is a reproducible and reliable one in regular shape, which is better than those induced by double and single injections.

Normalized Excited Squeezed Vacuum State and Its Applications

By using the intermediate coordinate-momentum representation in quantum optics and generating function for the normalization of the excited squeezed vacuum state （ESVS）, the normalized ESVS is obtained. We find that its normalization constants obtained via two new methods are uniform and a new form which is different from the result obtained by Zhang and Fan [Phys. Lett. A 165 （1992） 14]. By virtue of the normalization constant of the ESVS and the intermediate coordinate-momentum representation, the tomogram of the normalized ESVS and some useful formulae are derived.
