Spectral variations of AeBe Herbig stars in the Mon R1 association
We present the change in the Halpha emission-line profile of the spectra of
some AeBe Herbig stars. In the spectrum of VY Mon, Halpha may have one of three
profile types: P Cyg, P Cyg III or single line in accordance with the
brightness variations of the star. HD259431 now shows a double Halpha profile
with the red component stronger than the blue component, while in the earlier
observations the blue peak was higher than the red peak. Finally, the last
Halpha profile of LkHalpha215 is very similar to that obtained by Finkenzeller

Traditions and Innovations in the Formation of the Image of a Russian City in the Media: National Media View
This article is devoted to traditions and innovations in the cultural space of Russian cities. The author uses a notion of city portrait to analyze how national media cover cities’ life. A number of city details, a list of information sources and agenda are analyzed to find out if the image of a city could be an instrument of adaptating the innovations and saving local identity.В статье рассматривается проявление традиционных ценностей и адаптация инноваций в культурном пространстве крупных российских региональных городов. Автор, опираясь на понятие «портрета» города, анализирует освещение в федеральных печатных СМИ жизни провинциальных центров. Исследователь выводит предположение о том, что портрет города в СМИ может служить индикатором восприятия инноваций в регионах России и сохранения их собственной идентичности
State of the mineral component of rat bone tissue during hypokinesia and the recovery period
Experiments were conducted on young growing rats. Hypokinesia lasting from 20 to 200 days caused retarded gain in weight and volume of the femur and delayed development of the cortical layer of the diaphysis. In contrast, the density of the cortical layer of the femoral diaphysis increased due to elevation of the mineral saturation of the bone tissue microstructures. Incorporation of Ca into the bone tissue in hypokinesia had a tendency to reduce. Partial normalization of the bone tissue mineral component occurred during a 20 day recovery period following hypokinesia
An anomalous subauroral red arc on 4 August, 1972: comparison of ISIS-2 satellite data with numerical calculations
International audienceThis study compares the Isis II satellite measurements of the electron density and temperature, the integral airglow intensity and volume emission rate at 630 nm in the SAR arc region, observed at dusk on 4 August, 1972, in the Southern Hemisphere, during the main phase of the geomagnetic storm. The model results were obtained using the time dependent one-dimensional mathematical model of the Earth's ionosphere and plasmasphere (the IZMIRAN model). The major enhancement to the IZMIRAN model developed in this study to explain the two component 630 nm emission observed is the analytical yield spectrum approach to calculate the fluxes of precipitating electrons and the additional production rates of N+2, O+2, O+(4S), O+(2D), O?(2P), and O+(2P) ions, and O(1D) in the SAR arc regions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In order to bring the measured and modelled electron temperatures into agreement, the additional heating electron rate of 1.05 eV cm?3 s?1 was added in the energy balance equation of electrons at altitudes above 5000 km during the main phase of the geomagnetic storm. This additional heating electron rate determines the thermally excited 630 nm emission observed. The IZMIRAN model calculates a 630 nm integral intensity above 350 km of 4.1 kR and a total 630 nm integral intensity of 8.1 kR, values which are slightly lower compared to the observed 4.7 kR and 10.6 kR. We conclude that the 630 nm emission observed can be explained considering both the soft energy electron excited component and the thermally excited component. It is found that the inclusion of N2(v > 0) and O2(v > 0) in the calculations of the O+(4S) loss rate improves the agreement between the calculated Ne and the data on 4 August, 1972. The N2(v > 0) and O2(v > 0) effects are enough to explain the electron density depression in the SAR arc F-region and above F2 peak altitude. Our calculations show that the increase in the O++N2 rate factor due to the vibrationally excited nitrogen produces the 5?19% reductions in the calculated quiet daytime peak density and the 16?24% decrease in NmF2 in the SAR arc region. The increase in the O++N2 loss rate due to vibrationally excited O2 produces the 7?26% decrease in the calculated quiet daytime peak density and the 12?26% decrease in NmF2 in the SAR arc region. We evaluated the role of the electron cooling rates by low-lying electronic excitation of O2(a1?g) and O2(b1?g+), and rotational excitation of O2, and found that the effect of these cooling rates on Te can be considered negligible during the quiet and geomagnetic storm period 3-4 August, 1972. The energy exchange between electron and ion gases, the cooling rate in collisions of O(3P) with thermal electrons with excitation of O(1D), and the electron cooling rates by vibrational excitation of O2 and N2 are the largest cooling rates above 200 km in the SAR arc region on 4 August, 1972. The enhanced IZMIRAN model calculates also number densities of N2(B3∏g+),N2(C3∏u), and N2(A3?u+) at several vibrational levels, O(1S), and the volume emission rate and integral intensity at 557.7 nm in the region between 120 and 1000 km. We found from the model that the integral intensity at 557.7 nm is much less than the integral intensity at 630 nm

Innovative methods of atomic force microscopy in oncology diagnostics
The purpose of this work is to study the morphological forms of erythrocytes, and also pathomorphological changes in prostate gland and kidneys with the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) during oncological processes. Results: The decrease of discocytes was observed, and the number of transitional, pre-hemolytic and degenerative forms of erythrocytes increased. During the study of the external level of erythrocytes using AFM, it was established that the depth of the discocyte cavity counted by the study of a cell profile changed significantl
Effect of chemically active medium on frequency dependence of magnetic losses in soft magnetic Fe-based amorphous alloys
The effects of the electrolytic hydrogenation and oxidation and of the interaction of the surface ribbon with water and vapor on the frequency dependence of magnetic losses per magnetization-reversal cycle are studied based on the example of soft magnetic Fe81B13Si 4C2 amorphous alloy, which exhibits a positive saturation magnetostriction. It was shown that, after the hydrogenation and oxidation of soft magnetic amorphous alloys, their frequency dependences of magnetic losses per magnetization-reversal cycle, which are reduced to unit induction, exhibit groups of hydrogen- and oxygen-related peaks in the frequency ranges of 35-55 and 55-80 Hz, which can be explained by the formation of O-A and H-A atomic pairs (where A are atoms of alloy components) and their reorientation in a magnetic field in the course of magnetization reversal at certain frequencies. The formation of analogous groups of peaks for samples of soft magnetic Fe-based amorphous alloys was observed after the interaction of the ribbon surface with water and vapor and after heat treatment in air. This fact confirms the possibility of the hydrogenation and oxidation of the alloys during the aforementioned processes. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
