Plasma dispersion of multisubband electron systems over liquid helium
Density-density response functions are evaluated for nondegenerate
multisubband electron systems in the random-phase approximation for arbitrary
wave number and subband index. We consider both quasi-two-dimensional and
quasi-one- dimensional systems for electrons confined to the surface of liquid
helium. The dispersion relations of longitudinal intrasubband and transverse
intersubband modes are calculated at low temperatures and for long wavelengths.
We discuss the effects of screening and two-subband occupancy on the plasmon
spectrum. The characteristic absorption edge of the intersubband modes is
shifted relatively to the single-particle intersubband separation and the
depolarization shift correction can be significant at high electron densities
Coupled phonon-ripplon modes in a single wire of electrons on the liquid-helium surface
The coupled phonon-ripplon modes of the quasi-one-dimensional electron chain
on the liquid helium sutface are studied. It is shown that the electron-ripplon
coupling leads to the splitting of the collective modes of the wire with the
appearance of low-frequency modes and high-frequency optical modes starting
from threshold frequencies. The effective masses of an electron plus the
associated dimple for low frequency modes are estimated and the values of the
threshold frequencies are calculated. The results obtained can be used in
experimental attempts to observe the phase transition of the electron wire into
a quasi-ordered phase.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, Physical Review (in press
Pseudo-epsilon expansion and the two-dimensional Ising model
Starting from the five-loop renormalization-group expansions for the
two-dimensional Euclidean scalar \phi^4 field theory (field-theoretical version
of two-dimensional Ising model), pseudo-\epsilon expansions for the Wilson
fixed point coordinate g*, critical exponents, and the sextic effective
coupling constant g_6 are obtained. Pseudo-\epsilon expansions for g*, inverse
susceptibility exponent \gamma, and g_6 are found to possess a remarkable
property - higher-order terms in these expansions turn out to be so small that
accurate enough numerical estimates can be obtained using simple Pade
approximants, i. e. without addressing resummation procedures based upon the
Borel transformation.Comment: 4 pages, 4 tables, few misprints avoide
Interfering Doorway States and Giant Resonances. II: Transition Strengths
The mixing of the doorway components of a giant resonance (GR) due to the
interaction via common decay channels influences significantly the distribution
of the multipole strength and the energy spectrum of the decay products of the
GR. The concept of the partial widths of a GR becomes ambiguous when the mixing
is strong. In this case, the partial widths determined in terms of the - and
-matrices must be distinguished. The photoemission turns out to be most
sensitive to the overlapping of the doorway states. At high excitation
energies, the interference between the doorway states leads to a restructuring
towards lower energies and apparent quenching of the dipole strength.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures as JPEG, to appear in PRC (July 1997
Structuring meat systems using natural biopolymers
The features of the structure and properties of raw materials, which are a source of biopolymers of natural origin are presented. The main focus of the theoretical part is paid to the study of the process of structuring of biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharides). Practical approbation was carried out on the example of meat-containing meat and meat chopped products and semi-finished product
JIT Philosophy in Modern Management Cost Accounting and Performance Management Systems
Currently, traditional cost accounting methods are losing their relevance. Modern production environment is unpredictable and customer-oriented. Product life cycle becomes shorter, and consumers’ tastes are more capricious and fickle. All these factors suggest the need for flexible and adaptive control schemes.Successful decision-making is determined by well-built cost accounting system. The article proposes on the basis of the symbiosis of “just-in-time” approach, adherence to the principles of continuous improvement, and cost accounting methods — Kaizen-costing, standard-costing, target-costing, time-driven activity based costing, backflush accounting and value stream costing — to develop business performance management system that meets the needs of the modern business environment. The principles of continuous improvement, integrated into «Just In Time” management system, expand the horizon of opportunities for strategic management accounting. Zero-inventory philosophy, combined with flexible and adaptable management schemes, can also provide a powerful competitive advantage. The article recommends a system of key performance indicators to monitor the implementation of “Just in Time” philosophy in the symbiosis with these cost accounting methods. Zero-inventory approach has a number of drawbacks. However, integration of concepts with advanced cost accounting techniques will partly offset these shortcomings.The purpose of the article is to study the possibility of integration of «Just in Time” philosophy and advanced cost accounting methods, with respect to their features and peculiarities. The theoretical basis is the hypothesis of improving business performance management system based on “Just in Time” management approach, through its integration with the principles of continuous improvement and modern management approaches, quality assurance and approval.The main result of the article is an enhanced management accounting tools that allow to respond to changes in the environment of the company, develop measures aimed at adapting to these changes and ensuring compliance with the company’s strategy
Formation of bound states of electrons in spherically symmetric oscillations of plasma
We study spherically symmetric oscillations of electrons in plasma in the
frame of classical electrodynamics. Firstly, we analyze the electromagnetic
potentials for the system of radially oscillating charged particles. Secondly,
we consider both free and forced spherically symmetric oscillations of
electrons. Finally, we discuss the interaction between radially oscillating
electrons through the exchange of ion acoustic waves. It is obtained that the
effective potential of this interaction can be attractive and can transcend the
Debye-Huckel potential. We suggest that oscillating electrons can form bound
states at the initial stages of the spherical plasma structure evolution. The
possible applications of the obtained results for the theory of natural
plasmoids are examined.Comment: 9 pages in LaTeX2e, no figures; paper was significantly modified, 2

Interfering Doorway States and Giant Resonances. I: Resonance Spectrum and Multipole Strengths
A phenomenological schematic model of multipole giant resonances (GR) is
considered which treats the external interaction via common decay channels on
the same footing as the coherent part of the internal residual interaction. The
damping due to the coupling to the sea of complicated states is neglected. As a
result, the formation of GR is governed by the interplay and competition of two
kinds of collectivity, the internal and the external one. The mixing of the
doorway components of a GR due to the external interaction influences
significantly their multipole strengths, widths and positions in energy. In
particular, a narrow resonance state with an appreciable multipole strength is
formed when the doorway components strongly overlap.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, 3 ps-figures, to appear in PRC (July 1997
Scalar second order evolution equations possessing an irreducible sl-valued zero curvature representation
We find all scalar second order evolution equations possessing an
sl-valued zero curvature representation that is not reducible to a proper
subalgebra of sl. None of these zero-curvature representations admits a
parameter.Comment: 10 pages, requires nath.st
