The Civil War in Spain, 1936-1939 and the Image of Enemy in the British Fascist Press

The article deals with the analysis of publications of British Fascists newspapers 'Action' and 'The Blackshirt' during the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939. The main directions of image of enemy formation are studied on the example of these papers. Forms of presentation and ways of international problems interpreting by far-right publications are studied. The fascist newspaper Action, The Fascist Week and The Blackshirt spoke from the position of nationalism, Imperial identity, anti-liberalism, anti-Soviet and anti-Semitism. The concept of "communism" in the pages of the fascist press has accumulated the most precisely the image of enemy. Articles and notes shaped confusion between "Soviet", "red" and "Communist". The USSR seemed to be "the warmonger" and the "architect of the Civil war in Spain". The destructive role of Soviet Russia in the conflict was proved in the British fascist press. Soviet Union was accused of seeking to plunge Spain and Europe into anarchy. In British fascist publications trend towards stereotyping and myth-making were noticeable, they were opposed to "Western" civilization (as individualistic) and "Eastern", "Communist" (oppressive, traditionalist)

DERICA Project and Strategies of the Development of Low-Energy Nuclear Physics

Possible strategies of the development of low-energy nuclear physics in Russian Federation on the basis of the DERICA (Dubna Electron–Rare Isotope Collider fAcility ) project is examined. DERICA is a multiuser multipurpose facility for the production and study of radioactive isotopes (RI). In the research program of DERICA, emphasis is placed on studying RI in collector rings, but a stage-by-stage implementation of the program of DERICA would make it possible to address a wide range of fundamental problems at each stage of its development at the cutting-edge level. The ambitious goal of creating an electron–radioactive ion collider for studying basic properties of RI in electron–ion scattering is proposed for the final stage of development of DERICA

Internal Carotid Artery Injury in Transsphenoidal Surgery: Tenets for Its Avoidance and Refit—A Clinical Study

One of the most serious/potentially fatal complications of transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) is internal carotid artery (ICA) injury. Of 6230 patients who underwent TSS, ICA injury occurred in 8 (0.12%). The etiology, possible treatment options, and avoidance of ICA injury were analyzed. ICA injury occurred at two different stages: (1) during the exposure of the sella floor and dural incision over the sella and cavernous sinus and (2) during the resection of the cavernous sinus extension of the tumor. The angiographic collateral blood supply was categorized as good, sufficient, and nonsufficient to help with the decision making for repairing the injury. ICA occlusion with a balloon was performed at the injury site in two cases, microcoils in two patients, microcoils plus a single barrel extra-intracranial high-flow bypass in one case, stent grafting in one case, and no intervention in two cases. The risk of ICA injury diminishes with better preoperative preparation, intraoperative navigation, and ultrasound dopplerography. Reconstructive surgery for closing the defect and restoring the blood flow to the artery should be assessed depending on the site of the injury and the anatomical features of the ICA

Study of complete and incomplete fusion for loosely bound projectiles 6He and 6Li on 165Ho and 166Er targets

Complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions were studied for the cases of the loosely bound 6He and 6Li projectiles bombarding 166Er and 165Ho targets at energy of about 10 MeV/nucleon. Experiments were carried out to test an approach exploiting the measured intensities of γ rays emitted at the transitions between the yrast-band levels of reaction products formed after the termination of neutron evaporation. Partial waves feeding the CF reactions 165Ho ( 6Li, 5n) 166Yb and 166Er( 6He, 6n) 166Yb as well as ICF 165Ho ( 6Li, α3n) 164Er and 166Er( 6He, α4n) 164Er reaction channels were revealed from the obtained γ-ray data. The method of exit channel identification via the triple coincidence (γ1-γ2-light charged particle) was employed for these reactions study. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Background: The rate of scoliosis in syringomyelia patients ranges from 25 to 74.4%. In turn, syringomyelia occurs in 1.2% to 9.7% of scoliosis patients

Resonance states of superheavy hydrogen nuclei obtained in transfer reactions with exotic beams

A resonance state situated at 1.8 ± 0.1 and, most likely, another state positioned at 2.7 ± 0.1 MeV above the t+n+n decay threshold were observed in the missing mass energy spectrum of the 5H nucleus produced in the reaction 3H(t,p) 5H. The peak located close to E 5 ≈ H = 1.8 MeV also was seen in the 5H spectrum obtained from the energy distributions of 3H nuclei emitted in the reaction 2H( 6He, 5H) 3He. The width ( ≤ obs ≤ 0.5 MeV) obtained for the two 5H resonance states is surprisingly small. A state of 4H with E res = 3.3 MeV and γ 2 = 2.3 MeV was obtained in the reaction 2H(t,p) 4H from the proton spectrum.SCOPUS: cp.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Resonance States of Hydrogen Nuclei 4H and 5H Obtained in Transfer Reactions with Exotic Beams

To investigate 5H resonance states with a better instrumental resolution, we utilized the two-neutron transfer reaction 3H(t, p)5H accomplished with the use of a cryogenic liquid-tritium target and 57.5-MeV triton beam. As a result of this study, a valuable fraction of protons detected at θlab = 18°-32° in ptn coincidence events was attributed to the states of the 5H nucleus. Two resonance states situated at 1.8 plusmn; 0.1 and 2.7 ± 0.1 MeV above the t + n + n decay threshold were obtained in the missing mass energy spectrum of the 5H nucleus. The peak located close to E5H = 1.8 MeV was clearly seen in the H spectrum obtained from the energy distributions of 3H nuclei emitted in the reaction 2H(6He, 5H)3He at θ lab = 17°-32°. The width (Γobs ≤ 0.5 MeV) obtained for the two 5H resonance states is surprisingly small. A state of 4H with Eres = 3.3 MeV and γ2 = 2.3 MeV was obtained in the reaction 2H(t, p)4H from the spectra of protons leaving the target at θlab = 18°-32° and detected in coincidence with neutrons emitted in the decay of 4H nuclei. © 2003 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Complete and Incomplete Fusion of6He and6Li Projectiles with Medium Mass Targets at Energy ∼10 AMeV

Complete fusion (CF) and incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions were studied with the beams of loosely bound 6He and 6Li bombarding 166Er and 165Ho targets. Experiments were carried out to test an approach exploiting the measured intensities of y rays emitted at the transitions between the yrast-band levels of reaction products formed after the termination of neutron evaporation. Partial waves feeding the CF [ 165Ho(6Li,5n)166Yb, 166Er( 6He,6n)166Yb] and ICF [165Ho( 6Li,α3n)164Er, and 166Er( 6He,α4n)164Er] reaction channels were revealed from the obtained γ-ray data. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.SCOPUS: cp.pinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
