Adatom incorporation and step crossing at the edges of 2D nanoislands

Adatom incorporation into the ``faceted'' steps bordering the 2D nanoislands is analyzed. The step permeability and incorporation coefficients are derived for some typical growth situations. It is shown that the step consisting of equivalent straight segments can be permeable even in the case of fast egde migration if there exist factors delaying creation of new kinks. The step consisting of alternating rough and straight segments may be permeable if there is no adatom transport between neighboring segments through the corner diffusion.Comment: 3 pages, one figur

Formation of phase structure in the system Ti-3Al at the stage of secondary structurization at synthesis in the mode of thermal explosion

Features of phase formation processes in the system Ti-3Al at realization of self-extending synthesis in the mode of thermal explosion have been established with use of technological reactor enabling instant switching-off of the heating source. The analysis of synthesis finished products allows to draw a conclusion that phase structure of charge is abnormally depends on sizes of titanium particles. The single-phase product corresponding to initial stoichiometry is synthesized on fine and large fractions for the induction period. On intermediate fraction the product of synthesis is multiphas

Representation and usage of knowledge for initialization of accelerator control equipment

A knowledge based application, called SETUP, to initialize and diagnose the CERN/PS accelerators' control equipment is described. The object model and the general features of control algorithms are presented, together with their relation to the knowledge description of the setting up of the system. The different ways of the integration of the SETUP in the control system are outlined

DETERMINATION OF INFLUENCE OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF PIEZOCERAMIC PLATE ON AMPLITUDE CHARACTERISTICS OF LINEAR PIEZOMOTOR

Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to determine the influence of the geometric parameters of the stator of a linear piezoceramic motor in the form of a piezoceramic plate on the characteristics of its amplitude oscillations. Methodology. For the research, mathematical modeling in the COMSOL Multiphysics software package was used, taking into account the interrelation of electrostatic and mechanical phenomena. Results. By numerical simulation of the process of operating of a linear piezoceramic motor, a rational ratio of the width to the length of the piezoceramic plate is determined. Originality. The rational value of the thickness h of the piezoceramic plate of the motor is also established. Approximate dependencies are proposed for determining the parameters of the relationship between the geometric dimensions of the piezoceramic plate of a linear piezomotor, which makes it possible to predict its characteristics. The adequacy of calculation models is confirmed by experimental studies. Practical value. The results obtained can be used in the design of piezoceramic motors

THE INFLUENCE OF CONCOMITANT CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY (ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION) ON THE CHANGES OF RIGHT VENTRICLE OF HEART IN MINERS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

Associated cardiovascular pathology (ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension.) in miners with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increases the degree of hypertrophy of myocardium of right ventricle of heart and worsens its systolic and diastolic functions
