Automatic processing system for shadowgraph and interference patterns
The design and operation of an automatic system for the processing of shadowgraph and interference images are described. The system includes a two-coordinate processing table with an optical system for the projection of transparent images onto the photodetector, an image filter in the photodetector field, and a device for controlling the movement of the table and transmitting information to the minicomputer
Long-term production planning problem: scheduling, makespan estimation and bottleneck analysis
In this paper, a long-term production planning problem is considered with the objective criteria Cmax and Tmax and under resource capacity and precedence constraints. The case study presented is characterized by four years planning horizon, 3552 operations, 51 workers and 57 units of equipment. The solution method elaborated in this study is a heuristic algorithm. Its performances are evaluated in numerical experiments. New procedures for makespan and resource load estimation are developed in order to identify bottleneck resources. The makespan estimation algorithm is tested on the well-known PSPLIB benchmark library where the best known lower bounds are improved for 5 instances. This procedure can also be used for the estimation of the gap from optimal value of the makespan time provided by the heuristic algorithm

Quantum Oscillations of Elastic Moduli and Softening of Phonon Modes in Metals
In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of the effect of
magnetostriction on quantum oscillations of elastic constants in metals under
strong magnetic fields.
It is shown that at low temperatures a significant softening of some acoustic
modes could occur near peaks of quantum oscillations of the electron density of
states (DOS) at the Fermi surface (FS). This effect is caused by a magnetic
instability of a special kind, and it can give rise to a lattice instability.
We also show that the most favorable conditions for this instability to be
revealed occur in metals whose Fermi surfaces include nearly cylindrical
segments.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
Transformación digital de la economía rusa: desafiando el rango más alto en el desarrollo de la innovación global
A simple prognostic method was applied to estimate the percentage ratio of the digital economy in Russia’s GDP relying on technology solutions expenditure and sectoral investment. The research indicates a significant impact of Russia’s digital sector on innovation development in B2B, B2G, and B2C segments. The prognostic analysis shows the extension of on-line education, social networking, e-commerce, private and corporate banking, and end-to-end technology solutions in manufacturing. The findings point at the opportunity for the sectoral investment extension and steady annual growth 7-8 % in the next few years. Due to requirements on updating the technological solutions in the related public services, the digital sphere can support the annual growth in the national economy by 1,0-1,2 % until 2024. Respectively the digital economy in Russia will be growing faster the world's average to provide the sector’s contribution of 8,0-8,1 % in GDP by 2024. The findings show the digital platforms are becoming a driver for innovation development integrating the production process, cloud resources, data analysis, and e-learning services. The research contains hints on improving the research efficiency and winning the talent battle that promises to improve the country’s global innovation and economic ranks.Un método de pronóstico simple aplicado para estimar la relación porcentual de la economía digital en el PIB de Rusia que se basa en el gasto en soluciones tecnológicas y la inversión sectorial.

Design and Modeling of Optoelectronic Photocurrent Reconfigurable (OPR) Multifunctional Logic Devices (MFLD) as the Universal Circuitry Basis for Advanced Parallel High- Performance Processing
Transfer of 0-order coherence matrix along spin-1/2 chain
In this work, we study transfer of coherence matrices along spin-1/2 chains
of various length. Unlike higher order coherence matrices, 0-order coherence
matrix can be perfectly transferred if its elements are properly fixed. In
certain cases, to provide the perfect transfer, an extended receiver together
with optimized its unitary transformation has to be included into the protocol.
In this work, the asymptotic perfectly transferable 0-order coherence matrix
for an infinitely long chain is considered and deviation of a perfectly
transferred state from this asymptotic state is studied as a function of the
chain length for various sizes of the extended receiver. The problem of
arbitrary parameter transfer via the nondiagonal elements of the 0-order
coherence matrix is also considered and optimized using the unitary
transformation of the extended receiver.Comment: 32 pages, 5 figure
Electrical control of optical orientation of neutral and negatively charged excitons in n-type semiconductor quantum well
We report a giant electric field induced increase of spin orientation of
excitons in n-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. It correlates strongly with the
formation of negatively charged excitons (trions) in the photoluminescence
spectra. Under resonant excitation of neutral heavy-hole excitons, the
polarization of excitons and trions increases dramatically with electrical
injection of electrons within the narrow exciton-trion bias transition in the
PL spectra, implying a polarization sensitivity of 200 % per Volt. This effect
results from a very efficient trapping of neutral excitons by the quantum well
interfacial fluctuations (so-called "natural" quantum dots) containing resident
electrons.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figure
