Application of synchrotron radiation to study the surface atomic structure of 2D materials

In this paper, the current state of X-ray photoelectron diffraction and holography methods are considered. A brief overview of surface research methods is given. The photoelectron diffraction method is attractive for use because of its sensitivity to the chemical environment, as well as its large depth of analysis (units of nanometers). The paper presents the application of methods for studying the atomic structure of bismuth chalcogenides Bi2X3 (X: Se,Te). The results of the holography were verified by theoretical modeling of diffraction patterns using the EDAC algorithm. © 2020 American Institute of Physics Inc.

Galactic Rotation Parameters from Data on Open Star Clusters

Currently available data on the field of velocities Vr, Vl, Vb for open star clusters are used to perform a kinematic analysis of various samples that differ by heliocentric distance, age, and membership in individual structures (the Orion, Carina--Sagittarius, and Perseus arms). Based on 375 clusters located within 5 kpc of the Sun with ages up to 1 Gyr, we have determined the Galactic rotation parameters Wo =-26.0+-0.3 km/s/kpc, W'o = 4.18+-0.17 km/s/kpc^2, W''o=-0.45+-0.06 km/s/kpc^3, the system contraction parameter K = -2.4+-0.1 km/s/kpc, and the parameters of the kinematic center Ro =7.4+-0.3 kpc and lo = 0+-1 degrees. The Galactocentric distance Ro in the model used has been found to depend significantly on the sample age. Thus, for example, it is 9.5+-0.7 kpc and 5.6+-0.3 kpc for the samples of young (50 Myr) clusters, respectively. Our study of the kinematics of young open star clusters in various spiral arms has shown that the kinematic parameters are similar to the parameters obtained from the entire sample for the Carina-Sagittarius and Perseus arms and differ significantly from them for the Orion arm. The contraction effect is shown to be typical of star clusters with various ages. It is most pronounced for clusters with a mean age of 100 Myr, with the contraction velocity being Kr = -4.3+-1.0 km/s.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, 2 table

Asymmetrical current generator operating modes in battery charging

This paper presents the investigation of the different operating modes of the asymmetrical quasi-sinusoidal output current inductive-switch generator. The purpose of investigation is to find the most effective operation mode where an acceptable output current quality is combined with relatively small dynamic losses in switches. Depending on the algorithm of the generator switches, there are four operating modes. The calculations describing the generator operating principle were obtained for each operating mode

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: $l_\circ=128^\circ$ and $R_\circ=150$ pc. The linear velocities reach their maximum at a distance of $\approx300$ pc from the center and are -6 km s$^{-1}$ for the rotation (whose direction coincides with the Galactic rotation) and +4 km s$^{-1}$ 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 $A_G$ and $B_G$. We present evidence that the young clusters $\beta$ Pic, Tuc/HorA, and TWA belong to the Gould Belt structure.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure

Transcriptome 3′end organization by PCF11 links alternative polyadenylation to formation and neuronal differentiation of neuroblastoma

In gene regulation, diversification at the transcriptome 3′end is linked to differentiation and dedifferentiation. Here, the authors discover extensive transcriptome 3′end-alterations in neuroblastoma, regulated by PCF11, and provide an interactive data repository of transcriptome-wide alternative polyadenylation
