ROC-ANALYSIS OF NEUROIMMUNOLOGIC INDICES IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PSYCHOGENIC URTICARIA
Psychological stress connects with increased level of substance P, wherewith there may be interconnection between psychosomatic component and neuroimmunologic one in the chronic urticaria. Modern methods of findings statistical manipulation have been used in this work. Neuroimmunologic criteria of psychogenic urticaria were defined by the use of ROC-analysis. Substance P role in the pathogenesis of the disease have been indicated, correlation between substance P level and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity have been corroborated. Assessment of anxiety disorders level have been carried out
Control of operational properties of the structural materials using AFM and SEM methods
Peculiarities in produced particles emission in 208Pb + Ag(Br) interactions at 158 A GeV/c
The angular structures of particles produced in 208Pb induced collisions with
Ag(Br) nuclei in an emulsion detector at 158 A GeV/c have been investigated.
Nonstatistical ring-like substructures in azimuthal plane of the collision have
been found and their parameters have been determined. The indication on the
formation of the ring-like substructures from two symmetrical emission cones -
one in the forward and other in the backward direction in the center-of mass
system have been obtained. The ring-like substructures parameters have been
determined. The experimental results are in an agreement with I.M. Dremin idea,
that mechanism of the ring-like substructures formation in nuclear collisions
is similar to that of Cherenkov electromagnetic radiation.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Report at the HADRON STRUCTURE'04 Conference,

Switching ferroelectricity in SnSe across diffusionless martensitic phase transition
We experimentally investigate transport properties of a hybrid structure,
which consists of a thin single crystal SnSe flake on a top of 5~m spaced
Au leads. The structure initially is in highly-conductive state, while it can
be switched to low-conductive one at high currents due to the Joule heating of
the sample, which should be identified as - -- -
diffusionless martensitic phase transition in SnSe. For highly-conductive
state, there is significant hysteresis in curves at low biases, so
the sample conductance depends on the sign of the applied bias change. This
hysteretic behavior reflects slow relaxation due to additional polarization
current in the ferroelectric SnSe phase, which we confirm by direct measurement
of time-dependent relaxation curves. In contrast, we observe no noticeable
relaxation or low-bias hysteresis for the quenched -
low-conductive phase. Thus, ferroelectric behavior can be switched on or off in
transport through hybrid SnSe structure by controllable - --
- phase transition. This result can also be important for
nonvolatile memory development, e.g. phase change memory for neuromorphic
computations or other applications in artificial intelligence and modern
electronics
Gate-dependent non-linear Hall effect at room temperature in topological semimetal GeTe
We experimentally investigate non-linear Hall effect as zero-frequency and
second-harmonic transverse voltage responses to ac electric current for
topological semimetal GeTe. A thick single-crystal GeTe flake is placed on the
Si/SiO substrate, where the p-doped Si layer serves as a gate electrode. We
confirm, that electron concentration is not gate-sensitive in thick GeTe flakes
due to the gate field screening by bulk carriers. In contrast, by transverse
voltage measurements, we demonstrate that the non-linear Hall effect shows
pronounced dependence on the gate electric field at room temperature. Since the
non-linear Hall effect is a direct consequence of a Berry curvature dipole in
topological media, our observations indicate that Berry curvature can be
controlled by the gate electric field. This experimental observation can be
understood as a result of the known dependence of giant Rashba splitting on the
external electric field in GeTe. For possible applications, the zero-frequency
gate-controlled non-linear Hall effect can be used for the efficient broad-band
rectification
Current-induced control of the polarization state in a polar metal based heterostructure SnSe/WTe
The concept of a polar metal proposes new approach of current-induced
polarization control for ferroelectrics. We fabricate SnSe/WTe
heterostructure to experimentally investigate charge transport between two
ferroelectric van der Waals materials with different polarization directions.
WTe is a polar metal with out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization, while
SnSe ferroelectric semiconductor is polarized in-plane, so one should expect
complicated polarization structure at the SnSe/WTe interface. We study
curves, which demonstrate sharp symmetric drop to zero
differential conductance at some threshold bias voltages , which
are nearly symmetric in respect to the bias sign. While the gate electric field
is too small to noticeably affect the carrier concentration, the positive and
negative threshold positions are sensitive to the gate voltage. Also,
SnSe/WTe heterostructure shows re-entrant transition to the low-conductive
state for abrupt change of the bias voltage even below the threshold
values. This behavior can not be observed for single SnSe or WTe flakes, so
we interpret it as a result of the SnSe/WTe interface coupling. In this
case, some threshold value of the electric field at the SnSe/WTe interface
is enough to drive 90 change of the initial SnSe in-plane polarization
in the overlap region. The polarization mismatch leads to the significant
interface resistance contribution, analogously to the scattering of the charge
carriers on the domain walls. Thus, we demonstrate polarization state control
by electron transport through the SnSe/WTe interface
