Temperature dependent graphene suspension due to thermal Casimir interaction

Thermal effects contributing to the Casimir interaction between objects are usually small at room temperature and they are difficult to separate from quantum mechanical contributions at higher temperatures. We propose that the thermal Casimir force effect can be observed for a graphene flake suspended in a fluid between substrates at the room temperature regime. The properly chosen materials for the substrates and fluid induce a Casimir repulsion. The balance with the other forces, such as gravity and buoyancy, results in a stable temperature dependent equilibrium separation. The suspended graphene is a promising system due to its potential for observing thermal Casimir effects at room temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, in APL production 201

Symbolic-numeric approach for solving linear differential equations of the fourth order

This paper presents a symbolic-numeric approach for solving linear differential equations of the fourth order in the form of generalized power series. The working program allows to find solutions to differential equations of the fourth order in the form of power series, generally, of any order, but is limited by capabilities of a given computer. Some examples of solving differential equations of the fourth order are presented, which show the efficiency of the developed progra

Mathematical model of coordination number of spherical packing

The article considers a mathematical model of the coordination number, which allows obtaining an equation for multi component spherical packing in the entire range of its change. The resulting model can be used in both 2-d and 3-d spaces. The concept of the coordination index is introduced as a function of the inter-particle distance related to a single particle located near the central particle. The model provides unambiguous compliance between the simulated and calculated data on the coordination numbers of the spherical packin

INFLUENCE of inhalation coal and rock dust on morphological changes of heart muscle (experimental research)

Early stages of coal-dust exposure on laboratory animals do not cause morphological changes in heart muscle. Later periods (6—9 weeks of experiment) are accompanied on the one hand expressed compensatory-adaptive processes, on the other hand. - selective accumulation of lipofuscin in cardiomyocytes. Accumulation of lipofuscin is directly dependent on the duration of the adverse effects of the dust factor and. may be one of the main morphological markers of deep damage and cell death with prolonged exposure to coal and rock dust

Study of antimicrobial activity and technology optimization of Calendulae flos galenicals

The article presents materials on optimization of manufacture technology for Calendulae flos galenicals with medium level of antibacterial activity. For antibacterial study of extracts, we used agar well diffusion method. In our research, we utilized six test-strain microorganisms: E. coli ATCC 25922, S. aureus ATCC 25923, P. vulgaris ATCC 4636, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, C. albicans ATCC 885/653, and B. subtilis ATCC 6633. We have found that the maximum level of extracts’ antimicrobial activity is achieved in the range of ethanol content in the extractant from 70 to 97 % v/

Nonpolar optical scattering of positronium in magnesium fluoride

We report the results of the analysis of the temperature broadening of the momentum distribution of delocalized Positronium (Ps) in Magnesium Fluoride in terms of optical deformation-potential scattering model (long-wavelength optical phonons). The Ps optical deformation-potential coupling constant $D_{o}$ in MgF$_{2}$ has been determined to be $(1.8\pm0.3)\times10^{9}$ eV/cm. We also show that the Ps momentum distribution is sensitive to second-order phase transitions in those crystals where optical deformation-potential scattering is allowed in one and forbidden in another crystalline phase
