Some properties of convection in hybrid stars
It is shown that the unusual thermodynamic properties of matter within the
region of two-phase coexistence in hybrid stars result in a change of the
standard condition for beginning of convection. In particular, the thermal flux
transported by convection may be directed towards the stellar center. We
discuss favorable circumstances leading to such an effect of "inverse
convection" and its possible influence on the thermal evolution of hybrid
stars.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures. The discussion is extended according to referees

MHD simulations of plasma dynamics in pinch discharges in capillary plasmas
Magnetohydrodynamic simulation results related to the
capillary discharge dynamics are presented. The main physical
process that should be taken into account is the ablation
of the capillary wall material evaporated by the heat flux
from the capillary plasma. The possible applications of
the capillary discharges related to the physics of the
X-ray lasers and the use of the capillary plasma to provide
a guiding for ultrashort high-intensity laser pulses over
a distance greater than the defocusing length are discussed
