Reality property of discrete Wronski map with imaginary step
For a set of quasi-exponentials with real exponents, we consider the discrete
Wronskian (also known as Casorati determinant) with pure imaginary step 2h. We
prove that if the coefficients of the discrete Wronskian are real and for every
its roots the imaginary part is at most |h|, then the complex span of this set
of quasi-exponentials has a basis consisting of quasi-exponentials with real
coefficients. This result is a generalization of the statement of the B. and M.
Shapiro conjecture on spaces of polynomials. The proof is based on the Bethe
ansatz for the XXX model.Comment: Latex, 9 page
Quasi-exactly solvable quartic: elementary integrals and asymptotics
We study elementary eigenfunctions y=p exp(h) of operators L(y)=y"+Py, where
p, h and P are polynomials in one variable. For the case when h is an odd cubic
polynomial, we found an interesting identity which is used to describe the
spectral locus. We also establish some asymptotic properties of the QES
spectral locus.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figure. Added Introduction and several references,

Two-parametric PT-symmetric quartic family
We describe a parametrization of the real spectral locus of the
two-parametric family of PT-symmetric quartic oscillators. For this family, we
find a parameter region where all eigenvalues are real, extending the results
of Dorey, Dunning, Tateo and Shin.Comment: 23 pages, 15 figure
The Effect of Random Surface Inhomogeneities on Microresonator Spectral Properties: Theory and Modeling at Millimeter Wave Range
The influence of random surface inhomogeneities on spectral properties of
open microresonators is studied both theoretically and experimentally. To solve
the equations governing the dynamics of electromagnetic fields the method of
eigen-mode separation is applied previously developed with reference to
inhomogeneous systems subject to arbitrary external static potential. We prove
theoretically that it is the gradient mechanism of wave-surface scattering
which is the highly responsible for non-dissipative loss in the resonator. The
influence of side-boundary inhomogeneities on the resonator spectrum is shown
to be described in terms of effective renormalization of mode wave numbers
jointly with azimuth indices in the characteristic equation. To study
experimentally the effect of inhomogeneities on the resonator spectrum, the
method of modeling in the millimeter wave range is applied. As a model object
we use dielectric disc resonator (DDR) fitted with external inhomogeneities
randomly arranged at its side boundary. Experimental results show good
agreement with theoretical predictions as regards the predominance of the
gradient scattering mechanism. It is shown theoretically and confirmed in the
experiment that TM oscillations in the DDR are less affected by surface
inhomogeneities than TE oscillations with the same azimuth indices. The DDR
model chosen for our study as well as characteristic equations obtained
thereupon enable one to calculate both the eigen-frequencies and the Q-factors
of resonance spectral lines to fairly good accuracy. The results of
calculations agree well with obtained experimental data.Comment: 17+ pages, 5 figure
About Resonant Modes at the Shielded Dielectric Hemisphere
The resonant modes, which are excited at the shielded dielectric hemisphere, are investigated by the theoretical and experimental methods. The low-Q-factor modes of air cavity and high-Q-factor whispering gallery modes of dielectric structure are existed together in the case of high radial index value. The Q-factor value of the whispering gallery modes of the shielded dielectric sphere with the certain correlation between the sizes of dielectric hemisphere and metal shield can be more great than the Q-factor of the whispering gallery modes of the similar open dielectric resonator
Whispering-Gallery Modes in Shielded Hemispherical Dielectric Resonators
The results of the numerical and experimental investigations of whispering-gallery (WG) modes in shielded hemispherical dielectric resonators are presented in this paper. It is shown that the Q factor of WG modes in the shielded resonator can be ten times much higher than the Q factor of the similar open hemispherical dielectric-resonator modes. Shielding the resonator can decrease the dimensions of both the dielectric hemisphere and resonator as a whole, saving the high-Q factor of WG modes. The usage of a cylindrical shield and local flat reflectors in the experiment provides the investigation of the high-Q factor of WG modes in the resonator
HIV INFECTION AS A RISK FACTOR OF TUBERCULOSIS IN CHILDREN
The article presents the results of three year follow-up over 96 HIV positive children registered in the AIDS Center. During 3 year follow up the infection with tuberculous mycobacteria was diagnosed in 27.3% (n = 23) of HIV positive children from the followed up group. The leading risk factor of tuberculosis is family exposure to a tuberculosis patient – 22.6% (n = 19). Compliance to follow-up and treatment, timely prescribed preventive anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy and highly active antiretroviral therapy enhanced prevention of development of local forms of tuberculosis in the followed up group of children
Generalized Faddeev equations in the AGS form for deuteron stripping with explicit inclusion of target excitations and Coulomb interaction
Theoretical description of reactions in general, and the theory for
reactions, in particular, needs to advance into the new century. Here deuteron
stripping processes off a target nucleus consisting of nucleons are
treated within the framework of the few-body integral equations theory. The
generalized Faddeev equations in the AGS form, which take into account the
target excitations, with realistic optical potentials provide the most advanced
and complete description of the deuteron stripping. The main problem in
practical application of such equations is the screening of the Coulomb
potential, which works only for light nuclei. In this paper we present a new
formulation of the Faddeev equations in the AGS form taking into account the
target excitations with explicit inclusion of the Coulomb interaction. By
projecting the -body operators onto target states, matrix three-body
integral equations are derived which allow for the incorporation of the excited
states of the target nucleons. Using the explicit equations for the partial
Coulomb scattering wave functions in the momentum space we present the AGS
equations in the Coulomb distorted wave representation without screening
procedure. We also use the explicit expression for the off-shell two-body
Coulomb scattering -matrix which is needed to calculate the effective
potentials in the AGS equations. The integrals containing the off-shell Coulomb
T-matrix are regularized to make the obtained equations suitable for
calculations. For and nucleon-target nuclear interactions we assume the
separable potentials what significantly simplifies solution of the AGS
equations.Comment: 34 pages, 13 figure
