CETTE ETUDE EST CONSACREE AU PHENOMENE DE CAVITATION LORS DE LA FERMETURE BRUSQUE D'UNE VANNE SITUEE EN AMONT OU EN AVAL D'UNE CONDUITE OU S'ECOULE DE L'EAU EN PRESENCE DE GAZ DISSOUS (AIR OU GAZ CARBONIQUE). LA PLUPART DES MODELES PROPOSES ANTERIEUREMENT, CONSIDERENT LE MELANGE LIQUIDE/GAZ COMME UN ECOULEMENT DIPHASIQUE A BULLES SANS GLISSEMENT, CECI POUR SIMPLIFIER LA MODELISATION DU PROBLEME. LE BUT DE NOTRE TRAVAIL EST DE TENIR COMPTE DE LA DIFFERENCE DE VITESSE ENTRE LES DEUX PHASES AFIN DE DETERMINER L'INFLUENCE DE CE PARAMETRE. LE MODELE MATHEMATIQUE PRESENTE EST UN SYSTEME HYPERBOLIQUE NON LINEAIRE TRADUISANT LA CONSERVATION DE MASSE DES DEUX PHASES, LA CONSERVATION DE QUANTITE DE MOUVEMENT DU MELANGE ET UNE EQUATION DE GLISSEMENT EXPRIMANT LA VITESSE DES BULLES DE GAZ PAR RAPPORT AU FLUIDE, LE DEGAZAGE ETANT MODELISE PAR LA LOI DE HENRY. LA FORME NON CONSERVATIVE DE CE MODELE DUE A L'EQUATION DE GLISSEMENT, EXCLUT TOUTE POSSIBILITE D'APPLIQUER LES METHODES NUMERIQUES CLASSIQUES. NOUS PROPOSONS DONC UN SCHEMA DE CALCUL SPECIFIQUE AUX DIFFERENCES FINIES AINSI QU'UN TRAITEMENT NUMERIQUE PARTICULIER DES CONDITIONS AUX LIMITES. A TITRE DE TEST, CETTE METHODE A ETE VALIDEE DANS LE CAS PARTICULIER DU PROBLEME DE RIEMANN ASSOCIE AU MODELE SANS GLISSEMENT. LES RESULTATS NUMERIQUES OBTENUS SONT COMPATIBLES AVEC LES DIVERS RESULTATS EXPERIMENTAUX TIRES DE LA LITTERATURE

Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

The second edition of a guide, which introduced a simple, yet highly effective method for the relief of cancer pain. Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition further refines the WHO method, which advocates the use of a small number of relatively inexpensive drugs, including morphine. Revisions draw on experiences with millions of patients around the world as well as new knowledge about the specific pain syndromes unique to cancer. Completely new are chapters describing the international system by which morphine and other opioids are made available for medical purposes. The book has two parts. Part one provides a practical guide to the relief of cancer pain, concentrating on drug treatment as the mainstay of pain management. The most extensive section sets out detailed guidelines for the selection and prescribing of non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, drugs for neuropathic pain, and adjuvant drugs for the treatment of adverse effects, the enhancement of pain relief and the management of concomitant psychological disturbances. Information ranges from explanations of how specific drugs work, through the precautions to take in the presence of certain disorders, to a list of factors that influence the effectiveness of opioids. Concerning the use of opioids, readers are reminded that psychological dependence does not occur in cancer patients and that the only correct dose of morphine is the one that relieves the pain. Part two provides a guide to opioid availability. A discussion of the reasons why opioids continue to be underprescribed or difficult to obtain is followed by an explanation of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
