Change in blood glucose level in rats after immobilization
Experiments were carried out on male white rats divided into four groups. In group one the blood glucose level was determined immediately after immobilization. In the other three groups, two hours following immobilization, the blood glucose level was determined every 20 minutes for 3 hours 40 minutes by the glucose oxidase method. Preliminary immobilization for 2 hours removed the increase in the blood glucose caused by the stress reaction. By the 2nd hour of immobilization in the presence of continuing stress, the blood glucose level stabilized and varied within 42 + or - 5.5 and 47 + or - 8.1 mg %. Within 2 hours after the immobilization, the differences in the blood glucose level of the rats from the control groups were statistically insignificant
Manifestation of interface anisotropy in CdTe quantum wells
Photoluminescence and polarized reflection spectra of quantum well structures
with symmetric CdZnTe/CdTe/CdZnTe and
asymmetric CdZnTe/CdTe/CdMgTe barriers were
studied. The Stokes parameters of the reflected light from these structures
were measured. In the structures with symmetric barriers, exciton resonances
were found in the reflection spectra and were not present in the
photoluminescence spectra. In structures with asymmetric barriers, in the
region of exciton resonances, the phenomenon of light birefringence was
detected, caused by a lower symmetry of the interfaces compared to the symmetry
of bulk crystals. A discussion of both phenomena was given
The influence of HfO2 additives on the optical properties of Nd3+-doped Y2O3 ceramics
Transparent yttria ceramics were fabricated by sintering a mixture of 1 at.% Nd:Y2O3 and HfO2 nanopowders produced by laser synthesis method. The best transmittance was 80.96% at the wavelength of λ=1080 nm in 6 mol.% HfO2 doped sample (1.5 mm thick). The additives of hafnium broaden both pumping and luminescence bands of Nd3+ ion in yttria ceramics. The luminescence intensity of 4F3/2→4I11/2 transition was little affected by hafnium concentration. The effective lifetime of 4F3/2 level in Nd:Y2O3 ceramics enhanced by 30% at 10 mol.% HfO2 doping concentration and the decay kinetics of laser transition attains Förster's behavior. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The method of manufacture of nylon dental partially removable prosthesis using additive technologies
© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The article is devoted to the topic of creating new methods of dental prosthesis. The aim of this work is to investigate the possibility of using additive technology to create nylon prosthesis. As a result of experimental studies, was made a sample of nylon partially removable prosthesis using 3D printing has allowed to simplify, accelerate and reduce the coat of manufacturing high-precision nylon dentures
Non-invasive evaluation of the effect of metoprolol on the atrioventricular node during permanent atrial fibrillation.
During atrial fibrillation (AF), conventional electrophysiological techniques for assessment of refractory period or conduction velocity of the atrioventricular (AV) node cannot be used. We aimed at evaluating changes in AV nodal properties during administration of metoprolol from electrocardiogram data, and to support our findings with simulated data based on results from an electrophysiological study
There is no "Theory of Everything" inside E8
We analyze certain subgroups of real and complex forms of the Lie group E8,
and deduce that any "Theory of Everything" obtained by embedding the gauge
groups of gravity and the Standard Model into a real or complex form of E8
lacks certain representation-theoretic properties required by physical reality.
The arguments themselves amount to representation theory of Lie algebras in the
spirit of Dynkin's classic papers and are written for mathematicians.Comment: Final version, to appear in Communications in Mathematical Physics.
The main difference, from the previous version, is the creation of a new
section, containing a response to Lisi's objections to our wor

Phase Transitions in Terbium Oxide Nanopowders Synthesized by Laser Ablation under Various Buffer Gases
Synthesis of nanosized particles of terbium oxide by laser ablation under various buffer gases is reported. Influence of the gas composition (air, Ar, Ar+H2) on the morphology, average particle size and phase evolution during heating up was investigated.The reported study was carried out with the use of grant № 22-23-00658 of the Russian Science Foundation, https://rscf.ru/en/project/22-23-00658
