The Isotropic and Cubic Material Designs. Recovery of the Underlying Microstructures Appearing in the Least Compliant Continuum Bodies.

The paper discusses the problem of manufacturability of the minimum compliance designs of the structural elements made of two kinds of inhomogeneous materials: the isotropic and cubic. In both the cases the unit cost of the design is assumed as equal to the trace of the Hooke tensor. The Isotropic Material Design (IMD) delivers the optimal distribution of the bulk and shear moduli within the design domain.

[Dynamic assessment of hemostasis after gynecological operations. I. Effect of gynecological operations on hemostatic function].

In 50 patients operated on from various gynaecological indications the haemostasis system was monitored determining its parameters before and 2 hours after the operation and again after 5 days. Besides routine tests of platelet-related haemostasis, clotting system and fibrinolysis the fibrinolytic activity was assessed in dynamic tests after venous stasis. The obtained results confirmed the presence of a tendency for development of the disseminated intravascular clotting syndrome with associated fibrinolysis activation immediately after the operation.
