Measurement of the 214Bi spectrum in the energy region around the Q-value of 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay
In this work we present the results obtained measuring the 214Bi spectrum
from a 226Ra source with a high purity germanium detector. Our attention was
mostly focused on the energy region around the Q-value of 76Ge neutrinoless
double-beta decay (2039.006 keV). The results of this measurement are strongly
related to the first indication for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge,
given by a recent analysis \cite{Evidence,KK02-PN,KK02-Found,KK-BigArt02} of
the data collected during ten years of measurements from the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW
experiment.Comment: 10 pages, latex2e, 5 figures, see also Home Page of HEIDELBERG

First 10 kg of Naked Germanium Detectors in Liquid Nitrogen installed in the GENIUS-Test-Facility
The first four naked high purity Germanium detectors were installed
successfully in liquid nitrogen in the GENIUS-Test-Facility (GENIUS-TF) in the
GRAN SASSO Underground Laboratory on May 5, 2003. This is the first time ever
that this novel technique aiming at extreme background reduction in search for
rare decays is going to be tested underground. First operational parameters are
presented.Comment: 10 pages, latex2e, 8 figures, Was presented (first presentation) at

Background Analysis around Q_(beta-beta) for 76Ge Double Beta Decay experiments, and Statistics at Low Count Rates
The background in the region of the Q-value for neutrinoless double beta
decay of 76Ge has been investigated by different methods: Simulation with GEANT
4 of the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment, analysis of other Ge double beta
experiments.Statistical features of the analysis at very low count rates are
discussed.Comment: 15 pages, latex2e, 12 figure
Support of Evidence for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Indirect support for the evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay reported
recently, is obtained by analysis of other Ge double beta experiments, which
yield independent information on the background in the region of Q_(beta-beta).
Some statistical features as well as background simulations with GEANT 4 of the
HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment are discussed which disprove recent criticism.Comment: 15 pages, latex2e, 13 figure
Current trends of reconstructive surgery of traumatic damages of anterior segment of the eye (a literature review)
ABSTRACT
In a review article the current state of a problem of surgical treatment of combined traumatic damages of an anterior segment of the eyeball is analyzed. Principles of the optic — reconstructive interventions directed on restoration of normal anatomic and topographical correlations in the injured eye are considered in detail, as well as the main methods of an artificial masking: extraocular, corneal, intraocular
Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance (by N.Liberman. Y.Trope)
H. Lieberman’s, and J. Troup’s Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance is widely known in the English sources of social psychology. Wherein, it is used to explain various phenomena and cognitive memory research, perception and categorization. The review describes the basic tenets of the theory, concerning the relationship of psychological distance and the level of constructs. A brief description and basic key studies of different topics within the theory are included. The importance of the theory constructs at different levels of social cognition is stressed. Basic concepts of the theory are given to describe and explain various phenomena of social cognition. The key researches in the field of the theory are described to deal with such phenomena as the fundamental attribution error, the prediction of social events, behavioral intentions, self-control, goals and means of action. In conclusion, issues that remain unsolved at the present stage of development of the theory are discussed
