Confined quantum systems have been studied by various authors over the past decades, by using various mathematical techniques. In this work, we derive the WKB quantization rules for quantum systems confined in an impenetrable spherical box of radius r0. We apply the proposed method to two systems explicitly, viz., the confined harmonic oscillator and the confined hydrogen atom. The results are found to be in reasonable agreement with those obtained by other methods. PACS No.: 03.65

An approach to constructing quantum systems with dynamical symmetry is proposed. As examples, we construct generalized systems of the hydrogen atom and harmonic oscillator, which can be regarded as the systems with position-dependent mass. They have symmetries that are similar to the corresponding ones, and can be solved by using the algebraic method. We also exhibit an example of the method applied to the noncentral field.

The concept of bisection of a harmonic oscillator or hydrogen atom, vised in the past in establishing the connection between U(3) and 0(4), is generalized into multisection (trisection, tetrasection, etc). It is then shown that all symmetries of the N-dimensional anisotropic harmonic oscillator with rational ratios of frequencies (RHO), some of which are underlying the structure of superdeformed and hyperdeformed nuclei, can be obtained from the U(N) symmetry of the corresponding isotropic oscillator with an appropriate combination of multisections. Furthermore, it is seen that bisections of the N-dimensional hydrogen atom, which possesses an 0(N+1) symmetry, lead to the U(N) symmetry, so that further multisections of the hydrogen atom lead to the symmetries of the N-dim RHO. The opposite is in general not true, i.e. multisections of U(N) do not lead to 0(N+1) symmetries, the only exception being the occurence of 0(4) after the bisection of U(3).

Within the past decade it has become apparent that HVEM offers the biologist a means to explore the three-dimensional structure of cells and/or organelles. Stereo-imaging of thick sections (e.g. 0.25-10 μm) not only reveals anatomical features of cellular components, but also reduces errors of interpretation associated with overlap of structures seen in thick sections. Concomitant with stereo-imaging techniques conventional serial Sectioning methods developed with thin sections have been adopted to serial thick sections (≥ 0.25 μm). Three-dimensional reconstructions of the chondriome of several species of trypanosomatid flagellates have been made from tracings of mitochondrial profiles on cellulose acetate sheets. The sheets are flooded with acetone, gluing them together, and the model sawed from the composite and redrawn.The extensive mitochondrial reticulum can be seen in consecutive thick sections of (0.25 μm thick) Crithidia fasciculata (Figs. 1-2). Profiles of the mitochondrion are distinguishable from the anterior apex of the cell (small arrow, Fig. 1) to the posterior pole (small arrow, Fig. 2).
