Synthesis and sorption properties of filled fibrous sorbents with immobilized hetarylformazan groups
New sorbents were prepared by immobilization of structurally different sulfur-containing hetaryl-formazans on nonwoven polyacrylonitrile fiber tilled with AV-17 anion exchanger. Sorption of some heavy metals on these materials was studied as influenced by various factors. Sorbents for selective recovery of copper(II) in the presence of nickel(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) cations were found

Age and metamorphic conditions of the granulites from Capral-Jegessky synclinoria, Anabar shield
The paper presents the results of the isotope, geochemical and thermobarometric study of plagio-crystalline schist containing in the Upper Anabar series of the Anabar Shield. Granulite complexes of the paleoplatforms are the most important issue in addressing the fundamental problem of the Earth's crust origin and its composition. The early stages of crust formation which correspond to the deeply metamorphosed rocks of the platform basements, available for study within the shields, are of particular interest. The study of the age and metamorphic conditions of granulites by the case of the Upper Ananbar series allows specifying the stages the Anabar Shield's ancient crust formation.
Isotope-geochemical (U-Pb geochronology for zircon and Sm-Nd for garnet-amphibole-WR) and thermoba-rometric (Theriak-Domino) studies of plagio-crystalline schist allowed to identify two Paleoproterozoic metamorphism stages within the territory of the Anabar Shield with an age of about 1997 and 1919 million years. The peak conditions of granulite metamorphism are determined as 775±35 С and 7.5±0.7 kbar, the parameters of the regressive stage are 700 C and 7 kbar. The sequence of the rocks metamorphic transformations can be assumed: high-thermal metamorphism of the granulite facies (T ≤ 810 C) and subsequent sub-isobaric (about 7 kbar) cooling to 700 C with a water activity increase and formation of Grt-Amp paragenesis corresponding to the transition from the granulite to amphibolite facies. Data on the REE and other trace elements distribution in zircon and rock-forming minerals obtained by the ion microprobe analysis contribute significantly to the isotope-geochemical data interpretation
Quadrupole deformation of deuterons and final state interaction in scattering on tensor polarized deuterons at CEBAF energies
The strength of final state interaction (FSI) between struck proton and
spectator neutron in scattering depends on the alignment of
the deuteron. We study the resulting FSI effects in the tensor analyzing power
in detail and find substantial FSI effects starting at still low missing
momentum p_m \gsim 0.9 fm^{-1}. At larger p_m \gsim 1.5 fm^{-1}, FSI
completely dominates both missing momentum distribution and tensor analyzing
power. We find that to a large extent FSI masks the sensitivity of the tensor
analyzing power to models of the deuteron wave function. For the transversely
polarized deuterons the FSI induced forward-backward asymmetry of the missing
momentum distribution is shown to have a node at precisely the same value of
as the PWIA missing momentum distribution. The position of this node is
not affected by FSI and can be a tool to distinguish experimentally between
different models for the deuteron wave function.Comment: 24 pages, figures available from the authors on reques
Neutron stars from young nearby associations the origin of RXJ1605.3+3249
Many neutron stars (NSs) and runaway stars apparently come from the same
regions on the sky. This suggests that they share the same birth places, namely
associations and clusters of young massive stars. To identify NS birth places,
we attempt to and NS-runaway pairs that could be former companions that were
disrupted in a supernova (SN). The remains of recent (<few Myr) nearby (< 150
pc) SNe should still be identifiable by observing the emission of rare
radioisotopes such as 26Al and 60Fe that can also be used as additional
indicators to confirm a possible SN event. We investigated the origin of the
isolated NS RXJ1605.3+3249 and found that it was probably born ~100 pc far from
Earth 0.45 Myr ago in the extended Corona-Australis or Octans associations, or
in Sco OB4 ~1 kpc 3.5 Myr ago. A SN in Octans is supported by the
identification of one to two possible former companions the runaway stars HIP
68228 and HIP 89394, as well as the appearance of a feature in the gamma ray
emission from 26Al decay at the predicted SN place. Both, the progenitor masses
estimated by comparison with theoretical 26Al yields as well as derived from
the life time of the progenitor star, are found to be ~11MSun.Comment: accepted for publication in PASA, special volume Astronomy with

Superconductivity in diamond
We report the discovery of superconductivity in boron-doped diamond
synthesized at high pressure (8-9 GPa) and temperature (2,500-2,800 K).
Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and
field-dependent resistance measurements show that boron-doped diamond is a
bulk, type-II superconductor below the superconducting transition temperature
Tc=4 K; superconductivity survives in a magnetic field up to Hc2(0)=3.5 T. The
discovery of superconductivity in diamond-structured carbon suggests that Si
and Ge, which also form in the diamond structure, may similarly exhibit
superconductivity under the appropriate conditions.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
Kinematic Peculiarities of Gould Belt Stars
We analyzed the space velocities of Gould Belt stars younger than 125 Myr
located at heliocentric distances <650 pc. We determined the rotation and
expansion parameters of the Gould Belt by assuming the existence of a single
kinematic center whose direction was found to be the following:
and pc. The linear velocities reach their
maximum at a distance of pc from the center and are -6 km s
for the rotation (whose direction coincides with the Galactic rotation) and +4
km s for the expansion. The stellar rotation model used here is shown to
give a more faithful description of the observed velocity field than the linear
model based on the Oort constants and . We present evidence that the
young clusters Pic, Tuc/HorA, and TWA belong to the Gould Belt
structure.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
