Determination of the temperature of a dense plasma from a spectral line shift
The method of maximum spectral line shift proposed by Bardocz, et al, (1966) was successfully applied in the diagnostics of dense plasmas produced by high power pulse discharges. It is pointed out that the effect of the shock wave pressure on the spectral line shift has to be taken into account in order to obtain accurate results with this method for high power discharges. A pressure dependent function was introduced in the expression given by those authors to provide the necessary correction
Rotational stability of thoracolumbar junction fixation systems
Objective To compare the rotational stability of fusion constructs using bisegmental fixation of Th12-L2 vertebrae with anterior stabilization or pedicle screw fixation.Material and Methods The strength, rigidity and limit of elasticity in the “injured vertebral motion segments (VMS) – bisegmental anterior stabilization” system under dislocating rotational loads were estimated. The data obtained were compared with the similar characteristics of the “injured VMS – bisegmental 4-screw transpedicular metal construction” system and intact spine segments.Results Under rotational loads the limits of elasticity of injured spine segments of Th12-L2 with anterior stabilization and transpedicular screw fixation (TSF) is 45.5 and 41.7%, respectively, and the general strength is 66.4% and 80%, respectively, as compared with those intact VMS. Rigidity parameters of anterior-stabilized and pedicle screw fixated VMS with unstable damage of L1 are 60.2 and 93.9%, accordingly, in comparison with those intact VMS.Conclusion No significant differences were observed between bisegmental anterior stabilization and bisegmental pedicle screw fixation of thoracolumbar junction in terms of the key mechanical properties. When treating patients with unstable thoracolumbar spine injuries using bisegmental anterior stabilization or transpedicular fixation with 4-screw spinal system possible rotation motion amplitude of operated segments must not exceed 50% of maximum physiological limits

SOLUTION METHOD OF DYNAMIC ROUTING AND WAVE LENGTH ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM FOR WDM NETWORKS WITH TAKING INTO ACCOUNT FOUR-WAVE MIXING EFFECT
The problem of dynamic route selection and wavelengths assignment in WDM networks is solved. This problem is important in WDM network management when requests are serviced for short-term connection installation and excess traffic is transferred. The proposed solution method is heuristic and is an improvement of the previously known method by taking into account the influence of four-wave mixing and using the new metric for finding the routes prospective for application. This makes it possible to reduce the probability of blocking calls during the connections at the average of 13% and the value of Q factor at 0.812

Tunnel nitrogen spill experiment
The Energy Saver Safety Analysis Report (SAR) found the tunnel oxygen deficiency considerations emphasized helium spills. These reports concluded the helium quickly warms and because of its low denisty, rises to the apex of the tunnel. The oxygen content below the apex and in all but the immediate vicinity of the helium spill is essentially unchanged and guarantees an undisturbed source of oxygen especially important to fallen personnel. In contrast nitrogen spills warm slower than helium due to the ratio of the enthalpy changes per unit volume spilled spread more uniformly across the tunnel cross-section when warmed because of the much smaller density difference with air, and generally provides a greater hazard than helium spills as a result. In particular there was concern that personnel that might fall to the floor for oxygen deficiency or other reasons might find less, and not more, oxygen with dire consequences. The SAR concluded tunnel nitrogen spills were under-investigated and led to this work
Principles of 137Cs transition from the soil to the plant
Different kinds of rapidly maturing plants were grown simultaneously at experimental sites under natural conditions
at the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Content of 137Cs and potassium in the plant and in the corresponding soil solution and
content of the soil solution in the soil unit were measured. It was established for the first time, that for all investigated
plants and experimental sites 137Cs plant content is approximately proportional to concentration of dissolved 137Cs in the
soil. Transition coefficient plant - soil solution is approximately proportional to the content of soil solution per unit of
the soil volume
