Maxwell Equations with Accounting of Tensor Properties of Time

The Maxwell equations with accounting for tensors properties of time have been considered. The effects that follow from such consideration are described. These are the appearance of vacuum polarization, anisotropy of electromagnetic wave velocity in vacuum, anisotropy of the vacuum dielectric permittivity, rotation of light polarization plane, as well as the existence of longitudinal components of electromagnetic wave and the rotational (non-potential) component of electric field caused by electric charges.Comment: 13 page

On the problem of phase transitions in lysozyme crystals

We present experimental evidence of the fact that lysozyme crystals, which are grown from their mother solution and exist in it, dissolve on heating above T=307 K. We argue that the anomaly in the light scattering recently observed at the temperature T=307 K and identified in the reference [Svanidze A. V. et al. 2006. JETP Lett. 84: 551] as a structural crystalline phase transition in the single lysozyme crystals, in fact, corresponds to a temperature limit of the crystal existence.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
