Low temperature acoustic properties of amorphous silica and the tunneling model

Internal friction and speed of sound were measured on a-SiO2 above 6 mK using a torsional oscillator at 90 kHz, controlling for thermal decoupling, vibrational heating, background losses, and nonlinear effects. Strain amplitudes epsilon(A) = 10(-8) mark the transition between the linear and nonlinear regimes. In the former, agreement with the tunneling model was observed for both internal friction and speed of sound above 25 mK. The observed deviations in the speed of sound below 25 mK can be described with a cutoff energy of Delta(0, min)/k(B) = 6+/-0.5 mK. In the nonlinear regime, above 10 mK the behavior was typical for nonlinear harmonic oscillators, while below 10 mK different behavior was found.

The alternative model.

Consumers continue to believe in the power of unconventional medical treatments. They are expected to spend $31 billion on alternative and complementary therapies this year alone. But healthcare providers shouldn't see alternative medicine as an instant cash cow. The experts say it's best to start out small, as part of a seamless healthcare organization with established physician alliances.

Organized doctors. Unionization of physicians a small but significant force as relationships with hospitals change.

The number of unionized physicians is still small, but those doctors are becoming a force to be reckoned with as organizing continues to grow and the fledgling union formed by the American Medical Association becomes more established. "The state of the unions in healthcare is excellent," says Barry Liebowitz, M.D., (left) president of the Doctors Council, which represents 16,000 physicians nationally.
