Within a differential expression of the Heisenberg operator, the forward and backward evolution can be joined together along a closed time contour. This manipulation leads to a dramatic cancellation of oscillations due to the two individual propagators in the Heisenberg operator and the resulting forward-backward propagator is more tractable to semiclassical approximations. This article gives a detailed description of the forward-backward semiclassical dynamics (FBSD) formalism. The semiclassical propagators, especially those of the initial value representations (IVRs), are briefly discussed. The derivation of the FBSD based on the Herman–Kluk propagator is reviewed. Different FBSD formulations with other semiclassical IVRs are worked out and numerical calculations show that they are also capable of describing quantum dynamics semiquantitatively and all display accuracy similar to the classical Wigner method.

A method is being developed which not only measures cerebral blood flow as a static quantity but also its changes with time. For that purpose a semiconductor device ascertains the proportion of intracerebral81 Rb and 81mKr activities. By opening the haemato-encephalic barrier in animal experiments a sufficient concentration of intracerebral81 Rb could be attained and the modified blood circulation after step-wise ligature of all brain arteries brought into relation to the corresponding Rb/Kr quotient. Over the range from undisturbed to completely interrupted cerebral blood flow this quotient varied up to 25% of its initial value.
