Minimal population localization

The minimally invasive local treatment options for lung malignancy are too new to allow for a direct comparison to surgical resection with follow-up data not surpassing the 2-year threshold. There will definitely be a patient bias to consider, as the patient population so far referred to RFA consists of nonre-sectable candidates. 

In selecting a site for an incinerator, proximity to residential and other populations and local meteorologic conditions is considered to ensure a location that minimizes the prevailing wind transport of air emissions to affected populations. 

A common example of neurobehavioral teratogenic effects caused by polluted food is the Minamata disease. In a number of areas in Japan methylmercury from industrial waste accumulated in fish which was one of the main sources of the food of the local population. Another case of poisoning with methylmercury occurred in Iraq, where people consumed grain seed treated with a methylmercury fungicide. Women with only minimal poisoning symptoms gave birth to children that showed many neurological and behavioral abnormalities, such as mental retardation, coordination deficits and seizures (refs. 12, 13). 

E, 1+) states (localized to the left of the potential barrier) to a wave packet of E, 2 ) states (localized to the right of the barrier), while keeping the population 1 of the [ ) states to a bare minimum. The latter serves to minimize spontaneous, emission losses. ... 

Complete localization is, of course, possible only for an isolated system. What is remarkable, however, is the extent to which the electrons of atoms in an ionic molecule approach this limit of perfect localization, with /(fi) values in excess of 95 per cent not being uncommon. In systems, such as the fluorides and chlorides of lithium and sodium displayed in Fig. E7.2, the atomic surface of zero flux is found to minimize the fluctuation in the atomic populations and, thus, the magnitude of the correlation hole per particle is an extremum for such atoms. The properties of the number and pair densities for these...
