Some estimates on the space scales of vortex pairs emitted from river mouths

International audienceTwo-dimensional vortex pairs are frequently observed in geophysical conditions, for example, in a shelf zone of the ocean near river mouths. The main aims of the work are to estimate the space scales of such vortex structures, to analyze possible scenarios of vortex pair motion and to give the qualitative classification of their trajectories. We discuss some features of the motion of strong localized vorticity concentrations in a given flow in the presence of boundaries. The analyses are made in the framework of a 2D point vortex mo-del with an open polygonal boundary. Estimations are made for the characteristic parameters of dipole vortex structures emitted from river mouths into the open ocean

Estimates for parameters and characteristics of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an η′\eta^\prime-meson

The confinement mechanism proposed earlier by the author is applied to estimate the possible parameters of the confining SU(3)-gluonic field in an $\eta^\prime$-meson. For this aim the electric form factor of an $\eta^\prime$-meson is nonperturbatively computed in an explicit analytic form. The estimates obtained are also consistent with the width of the electromagnetic decay $\eta^\prime\to2\gamma$. The corresponding estimates of the gluon concentrations, electric and magnetic colour field strengths are also adduced for the mentioned field at the scales of the meson under consideration.Comment: 20 pages, LaTe

Asymptotic normalization coefficients for mirror virtual nucleon decays in a microscopic cluster model

It has been suggested recently (Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 232501 (2003)) that charge symmetry of nucleon-nucleon interactions relates the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients (ANCs) of proton and neutron virtual decays of mirror nuclei. This relation is given by a simple analytical formula which involves proton and neutron separation energies, charges of residual nuclei and the range of their strong interaction with the last nucleon. Relation between mirror ANCs, if understood properly, can be used to predict astrophysically relevant direct proton capture cross sections using neutron ANCs measured with stable beams. In this work, we calculate one-nucleon ANCs for several light mirror pairs, using microscopic two-, three- and four-cluster models, and compare the ratio of mirror ANCs to the predictions of the simple analytic formula. We also investigate mirror symmetry between other characteristics of mirror one-nucleon overlap integrals, namely, spectroscopic factors and single-particle ANCs.Comment: 12 pages, submitted to Phys.

The influence of nanoparticles on biological objects

The modem opportunities o f medical care are basing on usage of new methods of diagnostic and treatment, including nanotechnologies and nanoobjects in clinical medicine and pharmacology. The experiment was carried out on 58 rats. The nanoparticles of iron oxide were used intranasally and by application on skin in kind of suspension. The methods were used: light, transmission, electron, probe and scanning microscopy with microelement analysi
