LAM modelling of East European economies: Methodology, EU accession and privatisation
The paper presents a new approach to modelling economies in transition, where the adjustment processes are often nonlinear and data series are short. The model presented in the paper, the LAM-3 model, is the latest development in a series of long-run adjustment models, used for simulation and forecasting of several East European Economies. In particular the model contains short-run equations with bilinear error correction derived from a structural vector autoregressive model. The paper also gives derivations of two long-run relationships of the model, those for full-capacity output (reformable and non-reformable labour) and the relationship linking prices, money, incomes and exchange rates. The short-run part evolves around the specification of price and wage dynamics according to the NAIRU principle. Due to the fact that series of data for Eastern European countries are short, the parameters are evaluated with the use of global optimization technique (repetitive stochastic guestimation) rather than by a traditional econometric method. The model was estimated and applied for Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovak Republic, Romania and Ukraine. For each country it consists of 3 long-run and 21 short-run relationships. Examples of simulations presented here evaluate European Union accessibility through inflation correlation measures and Aghion-Blanchard optimal speed of privatisation
Poisson-Lie T-duality and N=2 superconformal WZNW models on compact groups
The supersymmetric generalization of Pisson-Lie T-duality in N=2
superconformal WZNW models on the compact groups is considered. It is shown
that the role of Drinfeld's doubles play the complexifications of the
corresponding compact groups. These complex doubles are used to define the
natural actions of the isotropic subgroups forming the doubles on the group
manifolds of the N=2 superconformal WZNW models. The Poisson- Lie T-duality in
N=2 superconformal U(2)-WZNW model considered in details. It is shown that this
model admits Poisson-Lie symmetries with respect to the isotropic subgroups
forming Drinfeld's double Gl(2,C). Poisson-Lie T-duality transformation maps
this model into itself but acts nontrivialy on the space of classical
solutions. Supersymmetric generalization of Poisson-Lie T-duality in N=2
superconformal WZNW models on the compact groups of higher dimensions is
proposed.Comment: 12 pages, latex, misprints correcte
Mass Shift of Axion in Magnetic Field
A mass-shift of the axion propagating in an external constant homogenious
magnetic field is calculated. The contributions via an electron loop and a
virtual photon are examined. It is shown that the virtual photon contribution
dominates substantially over the electron-loop one. Under the conditions of the
early Universe the electron-loop contribution to the massless axion mass-shift
is equal to zero while the virtual photon contribution is finite and can be of
order of the recent restrictions on the axion mass.Comment: 4 pages, latex2e, 2 PS figures, uses ws-p8-50x6-00.sty (included) and

Double radiative decay in the Standard Model
Z-boson decay in the Standard Model is
analysed. The distribution function on the invariant masses of the photon and
fermion pairs is calculated in the leading logarithmic approximation. It is
shown that this distribution function has a specific shape of a ``crest''. (To
be published in Mod.Phys.Lett.A)Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, (the figures are not included), Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl

Microstructure and phase composition of cold Isostatically pressed and pressureless sintered silicon nitride
The microstructure and physical properties of new Y₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ oxide-doped silicon nitride ceramics fabricated by cold isostatic pressing and free sintering were investigated. The phase composition of produced material was also studied by X-ray diffraction at room and elevated temperature. The fabricated ceramics featured a microstructure of Si₅AlON₇ grains with a fine-grained α-Si₃N₄ with a small amount of Y₂SiAlON₅. Described ceramics is attractive for many high-temperature structural applications due to beneficial combination of fine-grained structure with improved mechanical properties and small weight los

Kinetics of dislocation ensembles in deformable irradiated materials
The development of plastic instability in the initial deformation stages of irradiated materials is studied. The dependence of the fraction of dislocations which overcome obstacles in the dynamic regime (dislocation ‘‘channeling’’) on the degree of radiation hardening (irradiation dose) and the dislocation velocity is analyzed. It is shown that this effect plays a role in radiation embrittlement of reactor materialsyesBelgorod State Universit
