Since the first pacemaker implantation in 1950s, cardiac pacemaker technology has rapidly advanced. Reduction in generator size, increased battery longevity, quality of pacemaker leads, algorithmic and rate responsive programming-all have revolutionized and transformed the implantation and management of transvenous cardiac pacemaker （TV-PPM）.展开更多

Using the real method of interpolation （K-functional） we prove the interpolation theorems that permit to characterize of tensor products of spaces of exponential type vectors, We show an application of abstract results to the theory of regular elliptic operators on bounded domains. For such operators the exponential type vectors are root vectors. Thus we describe the tensor products of root vectors of regular elliptic operators on bounded domains.展开更多

As a further step along this line, we provide an explicit derivation of Casimlr effect for massless spin-3/2 field with periodic boundary condition imposed in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The corresponding results with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are also discussed.展开更多

The stress intensity factors for all these problems have been determined in terms of Dundurs＇ parameters a, b by the application of FEM in the authors＇ previous papers. In this paper, the variations of the stress intensity factors for all these problems are discussed under arbitrary a, b, then the maximum and minimum values of dimensionless stress intensity factors FI,max, FII,max, FI,min, FII,max are indicated on the map of a, b. As an example, it is found that FI,max always appears when （a, b）= （0.2,0.3）, and FI,min always appears when （a, b）= （1,0）, for the central internal interface cracks independent of crack length.展开更多
