Quantum Interference Effects in Spacetime of Slowly Rotating Compact Objects in Braneworld
The phase shift a neutron interferometer caused by the gravitational field
and the rotation of the earth is derived in a unified way from the standpoint
of general relativity. General relativistic quantum interference effects in the
slowly rotating braneworld as the Sagnac effect and phase shift effect of
interfering particle in neutron interferometer are considered. It was found
that in the case of the Sagnac effect the influence of brane parameter is
becoming important due to the fact that the angular velocity of the locally non
rotating observer must be larger than one in the Kerr space-time. In the case
of neutron interferometry it is found that due to the presence of the parameter
an additional term in the phase shift of interfering particle emerges
from the results of the recent experiments we have obtained upper limit for the
tidal charge as . Finally, as an example, we
apply the obtained results to the calculation of the (ultra-cold neutrons)
energy level modification in the braneworld.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure

Understanding image-text relations and news values for multimodal news analysis
The analysis of news dissemination is of utmost importance since the credibility of information and the identification of disinformation and misinformation affect society as a whole. Given the large amounts of news data published daily on the Web, the empirical analysis of news with regard to research questions and the detection of problematic news content on the Web require computational methods that work at scale. Today's online news are typically disseminated in a multimodal form, including various presentation modalities such as text, image, audio, and video. Recent developments in multimodal machine learning now make it possible to capture basic “descriptive” relations between modalities–such as correspondences between words and phrases, on the one hand, and corresponding visual depictions of the verbally expressed information on the other. Although such advances have enabled tremendous progress in tasks like image captioning, text-to-image generation and visual question answering, in domains such as news dissemination, there is a need to go further. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for the computational analysis of multimodal news. We motivate a set of more complex image-text relations as well as multimodal news values based on real examples of news reports and consider their realization by computational approaches. To this end, we provide (a) an overview of existing literature from semiotics where detailed proposals have been made for taxonomies covering diverse image-text relations generalisable to any domain; (b) an overview of computational work that derives models of image-text relations from data; and (c) an overview of a particular class of news-centric attributes developed in journalism studies called news values. The result is a novel framework for multimodal news analysis that closes existing gaps in previous work while maintaining and combining the strengths of those accounts. We assess and discuss the elements of the framework with real-world examples and use cases, setting out research directions at the intersection of multimodal learning, multimodal analytics and computational social sciences that can benefit from our approach
High-resolution molecular fingerprinting in the 11.6-15 μm range by a quasi-CW difference-frequency-generation laser source
We report an approach for high-resolution spectroscopy using a widely tunable laser emitting in the molecular fingerprint region. The laser is based on difference-frequency generation (DFG) in a nonlinear orientation-patterned GaAs crystal. The signal laser, a CO2 gas laser, is operated in a kHz-pulsed mode while the pump laser, an external-cavity quantum cascade laser, is finely mode-hop-free tuned. The idler radiation covers a spectral range of ∼11.6-15 μm with a laser linewidth of ∼ 2.3 MHz. We showcase the versatility and the potential for molecular fingerprinting of the developed DFG laser source by resolving the absorption features of a mixture of several species in the long-wavelength mid-infrared. Furthermore, exploiting the wide tunability and resolution of the spectrometer, we resolve the broadband absorption spectrum of ethylene (C2H4) over ∼13-14.2 μm and quantify the self-broadening coefficients of some selected spectral lines

Использование метода гамма-спектрометрии для определения концентрации радона в пробах минеральной радоновой воды
The results of a study on the choice of the optimal measurement geometry, measuring capacity and method of sealing the measuring capacity for determining the concentration of radon-222 in samples of mineral radon water are presented. Studies of radon water samples were carried out in laboratory conditions on a stationary gamma spectrometer based on a semiconductor Ge(Li) detector. The concentration measurements in the samples were carried out in accordance with MVI. MN 3421-2010 “Methodology for measuring the volumetric and concentration of gamma-emitting radionuclides on gamma spectrometers with semiconductor detectors” for standard plastic vessels “Denta, 0.1 l” and “Marinelli, 1 l”, and glass containers with a volume of 0.5 l with lids for twisting and seaming. The results of the research showed that the leakage of radon from a glass container with a metal lid for sealing is minimal. This method of sampling and sealing the measuring vessel makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the presented measurement results by reducing the corrections for sample preparation when calculating the expanded measurement uncertainty. A glass container with a volume of 0.5 l with a metal cap for seaming was used to measure the concentration of radon in samples of mineral radon water taken from wells and a drinking fountain of the Radon sanatorium of Belagrozdravnitsa JSC (Dyatlovo District, Grodno Region). The concentration range was 760–2100 Bq/kg. The selected measuring container, the method of its sealing and the measurement geometry can be used for future measurements of the radon concentration in samples of mineral radon water taken in the sanatoriums of the Republic of Belarus.Представлены результаты исследования по выбору оптимальной геометрии измерения, измерительной емкости и способа герметизации измерительной емкости для определения концентрации радона-222 в пробах минеральной радоновой воды. Исследования проб радоновой воды проводились в лабораторных условиях на стационарном гамма-спектрометре на основе полупроводникового Ge(Li)-детектора. Измерения концентрации в пробах проведены в соответствии с МВИ.МН 3421-2010 «Методика выполнения измерений объемной и концентрация гамма-излучающих радионуклидов на гамма-спектрометрах с полупроводниковыми детекторами» для стандартных пластиковых сосудов «Дента, 0,1 л» и «Маринелли, 1 л», а также стеклянных емкостей объемом 0,5 л с крышками под закрутку и под закатку. Результаты исследований показали, что утечка радона из стеклянной емкости с металлической крышкой под закатку минимальна. Данный способ отбора проб и герметизации измерительной емкости позволяет повысить точность представляемых результатов измерений за счет уменьшения поправок на пробоподготовку при расчете расширенной неопределенности измерений. Стеклянная емкость объемом 0,5 л с металлической крышкой под закатку использована при проведении измерений концентрации радона в пробах минеральной радоновой воды, отобранных из скважин и питьевого фонтана санатория «Радон» ОАО «Белагроздравница» (Дятловский район, Гродненская область). Диапазон значений концентрации составил 760–2100 Бк/кг. Выбранная измерительная емкость, способ ее герметизации и геометрия измерений может использоваться для будущих измерений концентрации радона в пробах минеральной радоновой воды, отобранных в санаториях Республики Беларусь

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF RISK THEORY AND CLASSIFICATION OF THEIR MANAGEMENT
Given the accepted axiom about the potential danger of any human activity, we can conclude that it is impossible that there is no danger. The task of “risk analysis” in any production is to determine the minimum (permissible) values for various hazardous and harmful production factors and the appropriate maximum costs to achieve them
