Features of Formation of the Cyclone Wakes (Fluctuations in Seawater Temperature) in the Area of Cape Svobodny, the Southeastern Part of the Sakhalin Island

Purpose. The purpose of this work is to study the particulars of the formation of cyclone wakes after the regular passage of cyclones over the area of the wave measurements, and to estimate the internal wave parameters along the track according to the field observations. Methods and Results. The analysis of data from the field observations of sea waves and water temperature is presented. The measurements were carried out by a ARW-K14 device (autonomous recorder of the waves and water temperature) in the area of the Cape Svobodny on the southeastern coast of the Sakhalin Island at a depth about 8 m. The recorded time series of the sea level and temperature fluctuations, lasting about one and a half months, were subjected to spectral analysis using specialized Kyma spectral analysis software. Dominant temperature fluctuations reaching 8.5 °C with a 13.1 h period were detected in the upper mixed layer of the ocean. These fluctuations were identified as the cyclone wakes in the stage of their relaxation. Taking into account the synoptic circumstances that existed during the passage of several cyclones and the associated storms in the observation area, the authors investigated the presence or absence of a trace. Conclusions. It is shown that if the next storm arrives earlier than 10 days after the previous one, the trace may be shorter or even absent due to active water mixing in the upper mixed layer of the ocean. For the data obtained, the value of the coefficient ∈ in the expression ω = (1 + ∈ ) f, which connects the dominant frequency ω of internal waves, i.e. almost inertial oscillations in the trace of each typhoon, with the inertial frequency f (the Coriolis parameter determined by the geographical latitude of the water area where the waves propagate), is close to the value proposed in the paper by E. Kunze. Using a formula due to J. F. Price, the characteristic horizontal lengths of internal waves in the direction of movement inside the wakes of cyclones moving at a speed 15–35 knots are determined. These lengths range from 304.6 to 1066.1 km

Time-optimal algorithms focused on the search for random pulsed-point sources

The article describes methods and algorithms related to the analysis of dynamically changing discrete random fields. Time-optimal strategies for the localization of pulsed-point sources having a random spatial distribution and indicating themselves by generating instant delta pulses at random times are proposed. An optimal strategy is a procedure that has a minimum (statistically) average localization time. The search is performed in accordance with the requirements for localization accuracy and is carried out by a system with one or several receiving devices. Along with the predetermined accuracy of localization of a random pulsed-point source, a significant complicating factor of the formulated problem is that the choice of the optimal search procedure is not limited to one-step algorithms that end at the moment of first pulse generation. Moreover, the article shows that even with relatively low requirements for localization accuracy, the time-optimal procedure consists of several steps, and the transition from one step to another occurs at the time of registration of the next pulse by the receiving system. In this case, the situation is acceptable when during the process of optimal search some of the generated pulses are not fixed by the receiving system. The parameters of the optimal search depending on the number of receiving devices and the required accuracy of localization are calculated and described in the paper.This work was supported in part by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (projects no 18-51-00001 and 19-01-00128), and Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (project no. № AAA-A17-117052410034-6)

Healthy ageing and regional health care system of the Great Patriotic War veterans

The term of "Healthy Ageing" is about creating the environments and opportunities that enable people to be and to do what they value throughout their lives. Healthy ageing require multipurpose policy framework with biological, social, economic, cultural and ecological aspects. The long-term experience of Saratov Regional Hospital for War Veterans in development and management of competencies required for healthy ageing programs is generalized in the article. Science evidence base of healthy ageing was formulated including results of the original studies with veterans of Great Patriotic War involved.</p

Magnetothemopower study of quasi two-dimensional organic conductor α\alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2_2KHg(SCN)4_4

We have used a low-frequency magneto-thermopower (MTEP) method to probe the high magnetic field ground state behavior of $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$KHg(SCN)$_4$ along all three principal crystallographic axes at low temperatures. The thermopower tensor coefficients ($S_{xx}, S_{yx}$ and $S_{zz}$) have been measured to 30 T, beyond the anomalous low temperature, field-induced transition at 22.5 T. We find a significant anisotropy in the MTEP signal, and also observe large quantum oscillations associated with the de Haas - van Alphen effect. The anisotropy indicates that the ground state properties are clearly driven by mechanisms that occur along specific directions for the in-plane electronic structure. Both transverse and longitudinal magnetothermopower show asymptotic behavior in field, which can be explained in terms of magnetic breakdown of compensated closed orbits.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure

Membranes with a boundary

We investigate the recently developed theory of multiple membranes. In particular, we consider open membranes, i.e. the theory defined on a membrane world volume with a boundary. We first restrict our attention to the gauge sector of the theory. We obtain a boundary action from the Chern-Simons terms. Secondly, we consider the addition of certain boundary terms to various Chern-Simons theories coupled to matter. These terms ensure the full bulk plus boundary action has the correct amount of supersymmetry. For the ABJM model, this construction motivates the inclusion of a boundary quartic scalar potential. The boundary dynamics obtained from our modified theory produce Basu-Harvey type equations describing membranes ending on a fivebrane. The ultimate goal of this work is to throw light on the theory of fivebranes using the theory of open membranes.Comment: 48 pages, Latex, v2 references adde
