Author as a corporal subject of a. Huxley’s works

The relevance of the problem studied in the article is conditioned by the fact that A. Huxley’s works are regarded in the context of the modern theory of mimesis for the first time. The aim of the article is to analyze the author’s problem as a corporal subject of Huxley’s works in the context of the modern theory of mimesis. The leading method for studying this problem is the analytical anthropology of literature which allows describing mimetic features and the author’s image as a corporal subject of Huxley’s works. The main attention in the article is paid to the artistically embodied forms of the author’s corporality. The article may be useful for philologists, philosophers, for developing courses and seminars on the history of the English literature, and also within courses on the anthropology of literature. © 2016 Falaleeva et al

Short-time dynamics of noise-induced escapes and transitions in overdamped systems

Using the path-integral approach, we have developed a general solution of the problem of a noise-induced escape or transition of the overdamped one-dimensional potential system at time scales of the order of dynamic relaxation time. The results strongly differ from those obtained before by other methods. Computer simulations confirm the validity of our theory in the relevant time range. The obtained results may be of interest in studies of Josephson junctions, levitating nanoparticles in optical traps, ionic channels, chemical reactions and chemical-physical systems

Ab initio properties of Li-Group-II molecules for ultracold matter studies

We perform a systematic investigation of the electronic properties of the $^2\Sigma^+$ ground state of Li-alkaline-earth dimers. These molecules are proposed as possible candidates for quantum simulation of lattice-spin models. We apply powerful quantum chemistry coupled-cluster methods with large basis sets to calculate potential energies, permanent dipole moment, and electron density distributions for LiBe, LiMg, LiCa, LiSr, and LiYb. Our results reveal a surprising irregularity in the dissociation energy and bond length with an increase in the reduced mass of the molecule. At the same time the permanent dipole moment at the equilibrium separation has the smallest value between 0.01 a.u. and 0.1 a.u. for the heaviest (LiSr and LiYb) molecules and increases to 1.4 a.u. for the lightest (LiBe), where 1 a.u. is one atomic unit of dipole moment. We consider our study of the $^2\Sigma^+$ molecules a first step towards a comprehensive analysis of their interactions in an optical trap.Comment: the manuscript has 10 pages and 7 figures; accepted by J.

Non-Porous Nitrogen and Ruthenium Co-Doped Titania Films for Photocatalysis

Nitrogen and ruthenium co-doped titania films synthesized by sol–gel technique exhibit high photocatalytic activity under both UV and visible light. Incorporation of nitrogen and ruthenium ions in titania lattice is proven by XPS. Both doping agents affected the structural properties of the films

Fukushima plutonium effect and blow-up regimes in neutron-multiplying media

It is shown that the capture and fission cross-sections of 238U and 239Pu increase with temperature within 1000-3000 K range, in contrast to those of 235U, that under certain conditions may lead to the so-called blow-up modes, stimulating the anomalous neutron flux and nuclear fuel temperature growth. Some features of the blow-up regimes in neutron-multiplying media are discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures.

THE METHOD OF BONE DEFECTS PLASTY IN PATIENTS WITH FOREARM OSTEOMYELITIS BY MUSCLE FLAP FORMING FROM MUSCULUS PRONATOR QVADRATUS

The authors presented new method of plasty of postoperative bone defects in patients with chronic forearm osteomyelitis using muscle flap, which is formed of musculus pronator qvadratus. This method was used in 58 patients. Good or excellent results were obtained in 60% cases, satisfactory – in 35%, unsatisfactory – in 5%. In the long-term average force of fist capture on the operated hand was 24,8±3,7 kg and on the healthy – 37,1±5,5 kg (66,7% of intact). The developed method allows to perform the bone defect plasty with a skin deficit and a significant inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues, reduces the recurrence risk and treatment time by optimizing the wound healing process
