Each section of this document is analyzed in sequence. Dwelling on the basic provisions of the concept, the Author exposes them to critical analysis both from a scientific and from a practical point of view, identifies advantages and disadvantages and formulates proposals for improving the model of the future new federal law on administrative responsibility

Several Theses in Support of an Integrative Understanding of the Administrative Process

An Author’s approach to substantiating the concept of an integrative understanding of the administrative process as a combination of two components is proposed: the executive administrative process and the judicial administrative process. The approaches that have developed in domestic legal science are refuted, according to which the legal process can take place only in the administration of justice, only in the resolution of disputes and in the presence of at least two disputing parties, and the administrative process is identified with administrative proceedings. Based on the interpretation of the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the article shows that each of the three branches of state power: legislative, executive and judicial, has its own procedural form of functioning. Such a procedural form of exercising executive power, according to the Author, is an extrajudicial (executive) administrative process. Examples are given that show the existence of a common algorithm for resolving administrative cases by both administrative-public bodies and courts, which indicates a single procedural nature of the corresponding types of judicial and extrajudicial activities and the absence of fundamental differences between them. The conclusion is substantiated that the legal enforcement process is the activity of the competent authorities to resolve any categories of individual legal cases, and the legal procedural procedure is the procedure for carrying out such activities, in connection with which they are related to each other as content and form. The Author concludes that the law enforcement process carried out by public administrative bodies, both positive and jurisdictional, can be characterized as an administrative process and is not, in contrast to administrative proceedings, a kind of administrative procedure. Administrative proceedings are considered as a meaningful category of executive administrative process, namely, as an activity for the consistent, stage-by-stage resolution of an administrative case. The close relationship and interdependence of executive and judicial administrative processes are shown, the presence of which indicates that these two types of process are constituent parts of a single whole - the administrative process as a general procedural category, in connection with which it is possible to properly construct and systematize the administrative procedural legislation of the Russian Federation

Photon-mediated long range coupling of two Andreev level qubits

In a superconducting weak link, the supercurrent is carried by Andreev bound states (ABSs) formed by the phase-coherent reflection of electrons and their time-reversed partners. A single, highly transmissive ABS can serve as an ideal, compact two-level system, due to a potentially large energy difference to the next ABS. While the coherent manipulation of such Andreev levels qubits (ALQs) has been demonstrated, a long-range coupling between two ALQs, necessary for advanced qubit architectures, has not been achieved, yet. Here, we demonstrate a coherent remote coupling between two ALQs, mediated by a microwave photon in a novel superconducting microwave cavity coupler. The latter hosts two modes with different coupling rates to an external port. This allows us to perform fast readout of each qubit using the strongly coupled mode, while the weakly coupled mode is utilized to mediate the coupling between the qubits. When both qubits are tuned into resonance with the latter mode, we find excitation spectra with avoided-crossings, in very good agreement with the Tavis-Cummings model. Based on this model, we identify highly entangled two-qubit states for which the entanglement is mediated over a distance of six millimeters. This work establishes ALQs as compact and scalable solid-state qubits.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure

Моделирование трехмерных пористых иерархических материалов, организованных посредством самосборки наносфер

The article considers possibilities of using modeling fo r the development of two promising areas of modern nanomaterials, i. e.  materials with a hierarchy of pores organized hierarchical self- assembly and hierarchical structures with nanoporous elements. The  pore size of hierarchical structures was estimated by means of quasi- two-dimensional projection of three-dimensional deterministic fractal Julien aggregate. Three-dimensional modeling of hierarchical  structures organized by means of nanosphere self-assembly was conducted in the Autodesk 3ds Max environment. The article provides analysis of dependences of porosity, density, specific  surface area of fractal structures on the size of aggregates (with the  appearance of new pore levels of hierarchical materials),  dependences of the porosity change in the case of replacement of primary identical spherical particles on porous spheres.Рассмотрены возможности применения моделирования для развития двух перспективных направлений современного наноматериаловедения: материалов с иерархией пор, собранных посредством иерархической самосборки, а также иерархических структур из нанопористых  элементов. С использованием квазидвумерной проекции трехмерного детерминированного  фрактального агрегата Жюльена оценен размер пор в иерархических структурах. Трехмерное  моделирование иерархических структур, организованных посредством самосборки наносфер,  проведено в среде Autodesk 3ds Max. Проанализированы зависимости пористости, плотности,  удельной площади поверхности фрактальных структур от размеров агрегатов (при  возникновении новых уровней пор иерархических материалов), а также изменения пористости при замене первичных идентичных сферических частиц на пористые сферы

Precise measurement of RudsR_{\text{uds}} and RR between 1.84 and 3.72 GeV at the KEDR detector

The present work continues a series of the KEDR measurements of the $R$ value that started in 2010 at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider. By combining new data with our previous results in this energy range we measured the values of $R_{\text{uds}}$ and $R$ at nine center-of-mass energies between 3.08 and 3.72 GeV. The total accuracy is about or better than $2.6\%$ at most of energy points with a systematic uncertainty of about $1.9\%$. Together with the previous precise $R$ measurement at KEDR in the energy range 1.84-3.05 GeV, it constitutes the most detailed high-precision $R$ measurement near the charmonium production threshold.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.02827 and substantial text overlap with arXiv:1510.0266

Measurement of J/ψ→γηcJ/\psi\to\gamma\eta_{\rm c} decay rate and ηc\eta_{\rm c} parameters at KEDR

Using the inclusive photon spectrum based on a data sample collected at the $J/\psi$ peak with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we measured the rate of the radiative decay $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_{\rm c}$ as well as $\eta_{\rm c}$ mass and width. Taking into account an asymmetric photon lineshape we obtained $\Gamma^0_{\gamma\eta_{\rm c}}=2.98\pm0.18 \phantom{|}^{+0.15}_{-0.33}$ keV, $M_{\eta_{\rm c}} = 2983.5 \pm 1.4 \phantom{|}^{+1.6}_{-3.6}$ MeV/$c^2$, $\Gamma_{\eta_{\rm c}} = 27.2 \pm 3.1 \phantom{|}^{+5.4}_{-2.6}$ MeV.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Measurement of B(J/psi->eta_c gamma) at KEDR

We present a study of the inclusive photon spectrum from 6.3 million J/psi decays collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider. We measure the branching fraction of the radiative decay J/psi -> eta_c gamma, eta_c width and mass. Taking into account an asymmetric photon line shape we obtain: M(eta_c) = (2978.1 +- 1.4 +- 2.0) MeV/c^2, Gamma(eta_c) = (43.5 +- 5.4 +- 15.8) MeV, B(J/psi->eta_c gamma) = (2.59 +- 0.16 +- 0.31)%$.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure.
