Changes of some blood indices and myocardial electrolyte content during hypokinesia
Using special hypokinetic cages, the volume changes of circulating blood, its hematocrit and protein content, volume ratios between extra- and intracellular liquids in the body, as well as electrolyte content in the blood and myocardium during hypokinesia were investigated experimentally in rabbits
Pc2-3 geomagnetic pulsations on the ground, in the ionosphere, and in the magnetosphere: MM100, CHAMP, and THEMIS observations
We analyze Pc2-3 pulsations recorded by the CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) satellite in the F layer of the Earth’s ionosphere, on the ground, and in the magnetosphere during quiet geomagnetic conditions. The spectra of Pc2-3 pulsations recorded in the F layer are enriched with frequencies above 50 mHz in comparison to the
ground Pc2-3 spectra. These frequencies are higher than the
fundamental harmonics of the field line resonances in the
magnetosphere. High quality signals with dominant frequencies 70–200 mHz are a regular phenomenon in the F layer and in the magnetosphere. The mean latitude of the maximum Pc2-3 occurrence rate lies at L � 3:5 in the F layer, i.e., inside the plasmasphere. Day-to-day variations of the L value of the CHAMP Pc2-3 occurrence rate maximum follow the plasmapause day-to-day variations. Polarization and amplitude
of Pc2-3s in the magnetosphere, in the ionosphere, and
on the ground allow us to suggest that they are generated as
fast magnetosonic (FMS) waves in the outer magnetosphere
and are partly converted into shear Alfven waves near the
plasmapause. The observed ground-to-ionosphere amplitude
ratio during the night is interpreted as a result of the Alfven wave transmission through the ionosphere. The problem of wave transmission through the ionosphere is solved theoretically by means of a numerical solution of the full-wave equation for the Alfven wave reflection from and transmission through a horizontally stratified ionosphere. The best agreement between the calculated and measured values of the ground-to-ionosphere amplitude ratio is found for k D 5�1
Computations of Three-Body Continuum Spectra
We formulate a method to solve the coordinate space Faddeev equations for
positive energies. The method employs hyperspherical coordinates and analytical
expressions for the effective potentials at large distances. Realistic
computations of the parameters of the resonances and the strength functions are
carried out for the Borromean halo nucleus 6He (n+n+alpha) for J = 0+, 0-, 1+,
1-, 2+,2-. PACS numbers: 21.45.+v, 11.80.Jy, 31.15.Ja, 21.60.GxComment: 10 pages, 3 postscript figures, LaTeX, epsf.sty, corrected misprints

Quasi-Chaplygin Systems and Nonholonimic Rigid Body Dynamics
We show that the Suslov nonholonomic rigid body problem can be regarded
almost everywhere as a generalized Chaplygin system. Furthermore, this provides
a new example of a multidimensional nonholonomic system which can be reduced to
a Hamiltonian form by means of Chaplygin reducing multiplier. Since we deal
with Chaplygin systems in the local sense, the invariant manifolds of the
integrable examples are not necessary tori.Comment: minor changes, to appear in Letters in Mathematical Physic
Three-Body Halos in Two Dimensions
A method to study weakly bound three-body quantum systems in two dimensions
is formulated in coordinate space for short-range potentials. Occurrences of
spatially extended structures (halos) are investigated. Borromean systems are
shown to exist in two dimensions for a certain class of potentials. An
extensive numerical investigation shows that a weakly bound two-body state
gives rise to two weakly bound three-body states, a reminiscence of the Efimov
effect in three dimensions. The properties of these two states in the weak
binding limit turn out to be universal.

Effect of hypokinesia on blood microcirculation
Blood microcirculation in the region of the scleral bulbar conjunctiva and the nail folds on the fingers and toes was studied in 18 practically healthy men during 182 day antiorthostatic hypokinesia and 30 day rehabilitation period. Marked changes in microcirculation in the sclera and feet and less evident changes on the hands was revealed. A complex of special prophylactic physical exercises had a distinctly favorable effect on circulation in the hands
Time-resolved plasma measurements in Ge-doped silica exposed to infrared femtosecond laser
Using a time-resolved interferometric technique, we study the laser-induced carrier-trapping dynamics in SiO 2 and Ge-doped SiO 2. The fast trapping of electrons in the band gap is associated with the formation of self-trapped excitons (STE). The STE trapping is doping dependent in SiO 2. The mean trapping time of electrons excited in the conduction band was found to be significantly lower in Ge-doped silica (75 ± 5 fs) when compared to pure silica (155 ± 5 fs). At our concentration level, this indicates that the plasma properties are determined by the presence of easily ionizable states such as the presence of Ge atoms in the glass network. Therefore, we suggest that in Ge-doped silica there exist an additional trapping pathway that leads to a significantly faster excitons trapping and a higher plasma density when compared to undoped silica. © 2011 American Physical Society
Weakly bound states of polar molecules in bilayers
We investigate a system of two polarized molecules in a layered trap. The
molecules reside in adjacent layers and interact purely via the dipole-dipole
interaction. We determine the properties of the ground state of the system as a
function of the dipole moment and polarization angle. A bound state is always
present in the system and in the weak binding limit the bound state extends to
a very large distance and shows universal behavior.Comment: Presented at the 21st European Conference on Few-Body Problems in
