Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage is an important pro- cess for population transfer as well as for implementing quantum gates. This process requires large Rabi frequencies, which is an undesirable in many experimental applications. To overcome this problem transition- less (superadiabatic) STIRAP was proposed. In this paper we study the role of su

Introduction: Religious fasting has been shown to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), as compared to during non-fasting period. This has been suggested to be associated with the reduction of total body water and body fat, as well as reduced intakes of fluid and dietary fat.
