Radiation Pressure Quantization
Kepler's observation of comets tails initiated the research on the radiation
pressure of celestial objects and 250 years later they found new incarnation
after the Maxwell's equations were formulated to describe a plethora of
light-matter coupling phenomena. Further, quantum mechanics gave birth to the
photon drag effect. Here, we predict a novel universal phenomenon which can be
referred to as quantization of the radiation pressure. We develop a microscopic
theory of this effect which can be applied to a general system containing
Bose-Einstein-condensed particles, which possess an internal structure of
quantum states. By analyzing the response of the system to an external
electromagnetic field we find that such drag results in a flux of particles
constituting both the condensate and the excited states. We show that in the
presence of the condensed phase, the response of the system becomes quantized
which manifests itself in a step-like behavior of the particle flux as a
function of electromagnetic field frequency with the elementary quantum
determined by the internal energy structure of the particles.Comment: Manuscript: 4 pages, 3 figure

INTELLIGENT SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL WITH DYNAMIC CHANGE PHASES OF TRAFFIC FLOWS ON CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS
There was method of making an effective system of traffic-light control of the traffic through the intersections in one direction according to which the phase coefficients for each cycle of traffic-light control are computed in real- time using the data of traffic intensity detected by transport detectors. Thus, the built-in traffic control system will be dynamically adapted to the change in the intensity of traffic flows, and the structure of the cycle and its duration will be changed taking into account the parameters of the traffic flow at the intersection. Accordingly, the traffic light cycle, where each cycle has the minimum required duration, will be most effective and will ensure uninterrupted traffic, the lack of traffic jams and the convenience for the pedestrian crossings.There was method of making an effective system of traffic-light control of the traffic through the intersections in one direction according to which the phase coefficients for each cycle of traffic-light control are computed in real- time using the data of traffic intensity detected by transport detectors.

Isospin Splitting in the Baryon Octet and Decuplet
Baryon mass splittings are analyzed in terms of a simple model with general
pairwise interactions. At present, the masses are poorly known from
experiments. Improvement of these data would provide an opportunity to make a
significant test of our understanding of electromagnetic and quark-mass
contributions to hadronic masses. The problem of determining resonance masses
from scattering and production data is discussed.Comment: 9 pages, LATEX inc. 2 LATEX "pictures", CMU-HEP91-24-R9
