Soyuz 22: New contribution to earth study from space
The mission of space flight Soyuz-22 was to develop new and improved methods and means for finding tthe Earth's natural resources from outer space to aid the economy. With the help of the new multispectral space camera, MKF-6, the cosmonauts were able to photograph selected areas of U.S.S.R. and the German Democratic Republic in 4 visible and 2 infrared regions of the spectrum. The MKF-6 can simultaneously photograph areas in 6 spectral regions and register both the natural electromagnetic radiation of surface objects and the solar radiation reflected by them
Spectral stability of metric-measure Laplacians
We consider a "convolution mm-Laplacian" operator on metric-measure spaces and study its spectral properties. The definition is based on averaging over small metric balls. For reasonably nice metric-measure spaces we prove stability of convolution Laplacian's spectrum with respect to metric-measure perturbations and obtain Weyl-type estimates on the number of eigenvalues
Vortex solitons in dispersive nonlinear Kerr type media
We have investigated the nonlinear amplitude vector equation governing the
evolution of optical pulses in optical and UV region. We are normalizing this
equation for the cases of different and equal transverse and longitudinal size
of optical pulses, of week and strong dispersion. This gives us the possibility
to reduce the amplitude equation to different nonlinear evolution equations in
the partial cases. For some of these nonlinear equations exact vortex solutions
are found. Conditions for experimental observations of these vortices are
determined.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figures, Late
Confined spin waves reveal an assembly of nanosize domains in ferromagnetic La(1-x)CaxMnO3 (x=0.17,0.2)
We report a study of spin-waves in ferromagnetic LaCaMnO,
at concentrations x=0.17 and x=0.2 very close to the metallic transition
(x=0.225). Below T, in the quasi-metallic state (T=150K), nearly
q-independent energy levels are observed. They are characteristic of standing
spin waves confined into finite-size ferromagnetic domains, defined in {\bf a,
b) plane for x=0.17 and in all q-directions for x=0.2. They allow an estimation
of the domain size, a few lattice spacings, and of the magnetic coupling
constants inside the domains. These constants, anisotropic, are typical of an
orbital-ordered state, allowing to characterize the domains as "hole-poor". The
precursor state of the CMR metallic phase appears, therefore, as an assembly of
small orbital-ordered domains.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
