Construction And Research Of Full Balance Energy Of Variational Problem Motion Surface And Groundwater Flows
Based on the laws of conservation of mass and momentum the basic equations of motion with unknown quantities velocity and piezometric pressure are written. These equations are supplemented with boundary and initial conditions describing the motion of compatible flows. Based on the laws of motion continuum, received conditions contact on the common border interaction of surface and groundwater flows. Variational problems formulated compatible flow. Energy norms of basic components of variational problem are analyzed. Correctness of constructing variational problem arising from construction of the energy system of equations that allow to investigate properties of the problem solution, its uniqueness, stability, dependence on initial data and more. Energy equation of motion of surface and groundwater flows are derived and investigated. It is shown that the total energy compatible flow depends on sources that are located inside the domain or on its border
Interplay between carotenoids, abscisic acid and jasmonate guides the compatible rice-Meloidogyne graminicola interaction
In this study, we have characterized the role of carotenoids and chlorophyll in the compatible interaction between the sedentary root knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne graminicola and the monocot model plant rice (Oryza sativa). Previous transcriptome data showed a differential expression of carotenoid and chlorophyll biosynthesis genes in nematode-induced giant cells and gall tissue. Metabolite measurement showed that galls indeed accumulate chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids, as well as the hormone abscisic acid (ABA). When ABA was externally applied on rice plants, or when ABA-biosynthesis was inhibited, a significant increase in gall formation and nematode development was found, showing the complex role of ABA in this interaction. ABA application suppressed jasmonic acid (JA) levels in the plants, while ABA-biosynthesis inhibition lead to increased JA levels confirming an antagonism between ABA and JA in rice roots. In addition, combined applications of ABA and JA showed that the ABA-effect can overcome JA-induced defense. Based on these observations, we hypothesized that the accumulation of chlorophyll and carotenoid precursors would be beneficial to nematode infection. Indeed, when chemically blocking the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway at different steps, which leads to differential accumulation of carotenoids and chlorophyll in the plants, a positive and clear link between accumulation of carotenoids and chlorophyll and rice susceptibility to RKN was detected
A chromomagnetic mechanism for the X(3872) resonance
The chromomagnetic interaction, with proper account for flavour-symmetry
breaking, is shown to explain the mass and coupling properties of the X(3872)
resonance as a = 1 state consisting of a heavy quark-antiquark
pair and a light one. It is crucial to introduce all the spin-colour
configurations compatible with these quantum numbers and diagonalise the
chromomagnetic interaction in this basis. This approach thus differs from the
molecular picture and from the diquark-antidiquark picture.Comment: 4 pages - revtex4 - Typos corrected, refs. added, to be published in

Nonequilibrium Fock space for the electron transport problem
Based on the formalism of thermo field dynamics we propose a concept of
nonequilibrium Fock space and nonequilibrium quasiparticles for quantum
many-body system in nonequilibrium steady state. We develop a general theory as
well as demonstrate the utility of the approach on the example of electron
transport through the interacting region. The proposed approach is compatible
with advanced methods of electronic structure calculations such as coupled
cluster theory and configuration interaction
