Towards Rigorous Derivation of Quantum Kinetic Equations
We develop a rigorous formalism for the description of the evolution of
states of quantum many-particle systems in terms of a one-particle density
operator. For initial states which are specified in terms of a one-particle
density operator the equivalence of the description of the evolution of quantum
many-particle states by the Cauchy problem of the quantum BBGKY hierarchy and
by the Cauchy problem of the generalized quantum kinetic equation together with
a sequence of explicitly defined functionals of a solution of stated kinetic
equation is established in the space of trace class operators. The links of the
specific quantum kinetic equations with the generalized quantum kinetic
equation are discussed.Comment: 25 page
Approximations of singular vertex couplings in quantum graphs
We discuss approximations of the vertex coupling on a star-shaped quantum
graph of edges in the singular case when the wave functions are not
continuous at the vertex and no edge-permutation symmetry is present. It is
shown that the Cheon-Shigehara technique using interactions with
nonlinearly scaled couplings yields a -parameter family of boundary
conditions in the sense of norm resolvent topology. Moreover, using graphs with
additional edges one can approximate the -parameter family of
all time-reversal invariant couplings.Comment: LaTeX source file, 33 pages, with 3 eps figure
The von Neumann Hierarchy for Correlation Operators of Quantum Many-Particle Systems
The Cauchy problem for the von Neumann hierarchy of nonlinear equations is
investigated. One describes the evolution of all possible states of quantum
many-particle systems by the correlation operators. A solution of such
nonlinear equations is constructed in the form of an expansion over particle
clusters whose evolution is described by the corresponding order cumulant
(semi-invariant) of evolution operators for the von Neumann equations. For the
initial data from the space of sequences of trace class operators the existence
of a strong and a weak solution of the Cauchy problem is proved. We discuss the
relationships of this solution both with the -particle statistical
operators, which are solutions of the BBGKY hierarchy, and with the
-particle correlation operators of quantum systems.Comment: 26 page
On the spectrum of a bent chain graph
We study Schr\"odinger operators on an infinite quantum graph of a chain form
which consists of identical rings connected at the touching points by
-couplings with a parameter . If the graph is "straight",
i.e. periodic with respect to ring shifts, its Hamiltonian has a band spectrum
with all the gaps open whenever . We consider a "bending"
deformation of the chain consisting of changing one position at a single ring
and show that it gives rise to eigenvalues in the open spectral gaps. We
analyze dependence of these eigenvalues on the coupling and the
"bending angle" as well as resonances of the system coming from the bending. We
also discuss the behaviour of the eigenvalues and resonances at the edges of
the spectral bands.Comment: LaTeX, 23 pages with 7 figures; minor changes, references added; to

Parents and Children: Way to Choice of Profession
It is reported the monograph “Parent assistance in professional self-determination of senior pupils” (2016), prepared by T. D. Zelenkina, E. Yu. Pryazhnikova and M. G. Sergeyeva, touches upon the problem of effective vocational guidance. The value of the edition is based on the fact that problems of choosing the profession do not lose its relevance. The views of the authors of the monograph on parental involvement in career choice of their children are characterized. For example, it is noted that the family may not only contribute to the process of professional self-determination, but also prevent correct choice. Model of training parents to help in professional self-determination of senior pupils proposed by the authors is briefly described

The Reference System in Determining the Parameters of Horizontal Deformations of the Earth's Crust on Geodynamic Polygons
The article is devoted to the choice of the reference system and the related problem of initial data errors while determining the features of the earth's crustal deformations, determined at the geodynamic polygons (GDP) by the differences of the equalized coordinates of network points between the geodetic measurements epochs. It is shown that the problem is not eliminated in the transition to satellite measuring instruments. In determining the geometric component of the earth's crust deformations, it is recommended to take into account the physical nature of its origin. To ensure the uniformity of the reference system for all geodesic measurements epochs on the local GDPs it is recommended to use the free geodetic networks equalization device without reference points. The deformation components obtained according to the theory of elasticity should be recognized the priority features of the earth's crust deformations on such GDPs
Periodic Pattern in the Residual-Velocity Field of OB Associations
An analysis of the residual-velocity field of OB associations within 3 kpc of
the Sun has revealed periodic variations in the radial residual velocities
along the Galactic radius vector with a typical scale length of
lambda=2.0(+/-0.2) kpc and a mean amplitude of fR=7(+/-1) km/s. The fact that
the radial residual velocities of almost all OB-associations in rich
stellar-gas complexes are directed toward the Galactic center suggests that the
solar neighborhood under consideration is within the corotation radius. The
azimuthal-velocity field exhibits a distinct periodic pattern in the region
0<l<180 degrees, where the mean azimuthal-velocity amplitude is ft=6(+/-2)
km/s. There is no periodic pattern of the azimuthal-velocity field in the
region 180<l<360 degrees. The locations of the Cygnus arm, as well as the
Perseus arm, inferred from an analysis of the radial- and azimuthal-velocity
fields coincide. The periodic patterns of the residual-velocity fields of
Cepheids and OB associations share many common features.Comment: 21 page
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF MYASTHENIA GRAVIS
Aim. To assess the main epidemiological indicators of myasthenia gravis in various countries of the world, as well as in the territory of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. Materials of publications on the study of epidemiological and population characteristics of myasthenia gravis of native and foreign authors are studied.Results. The indicator of the prevalence of myasthenia in the world varies from 0.5 to 20.0 per 100,000. The average primary morbidity of myasthenia gravis in the world is 0.53 per 100,000 population. The indicator varies from 0.17 to 2.13 per 100 thousand of the population.Conclusion. A fairly large range of epidemiological characteristics of myasthenia gravis in the world is revealed. The high prevalence of this pathology in the territory of the Russian Federation is established, which causes further interest in this type of research
