Changes of some blood indices and myocardial electrolyte content during hypokinesia
Using special hypokinetic cages, the volume changes of circulating blood, its hematocrit and protein content, volume ratios between extra- and intracellular liquids in the body, as well as electrolyte content in the blood and myocardium during hypokinesia were investigated experimentally in rabbits
Post-processing procedure for industrial quantum key distribution systems
We present algorithmic solutions aimed on post-processing for industrial
quantum key distribution systems with hardware sifting. The main steps of the
procedure are error correction, parameter estimation, and privacy
amplification. Authentication of a classical public communication channel is
also considered.Comment: 5 pages; presented at the 3rd International School and Conference

Practical cryptographic strategies in the post-quantum era
We review new frontiers in information security technologies in
communications and distributed storage technologies with the use of classical,
quantum, hybrid classical-quantum, and post-quantum cryptography. We analyze
the current state-of-the-art, critical characteristics, development trends, and
limitations of these techniques for application in enterprise information
protection systems. An approach concerning the selection of practical
encryption technologies for enterprises with branched communication networks is
introduced.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures; review pape
Universality of Brunnian (-body Borromean) four and five-body systems
We compute binding energies and root mean square radii for weakly bound
systems of and identical bosons. Ground and first excited states of
an -body system appear below the threshold for binding the system with
particles. Their root mean square radii approach constants in the limit of weak
binding. Their probability distributions are on average located in
non-classical regions of space which result in universal structures. Radii
decrease with increasing particle number. The ground states for more than five
particles are probably non-universal whereas excited states may be universal
Underwater measurements of muon intensity
Experimental measurements of cosmic ray muon intensity deep underwater aimed at determining a muon absorption curve are of considerable interest, as they allow to reproduce independently the muon energy spectrum at sea level. The comparison of the muon absorption curve in sea water with that in rock makes it possible to determine muon energy losses caused by nuclear interactions. The data available on muon absorption in water and that in rock are not equivalent. Underground measurements are numerous and have been carried out down to the depth of approx. 15km w.e., whereas underwater muon intensity have been measured twice and only down to approx. 3km deep
