On Gauge Poisson Brackets with Prescribed Symmetry
In the context of averaging method, we describe a reconstruction of invariant
connection-dependent Poisson structures from canonical actions of compact Lie
groups on fibered phase spaces. Some symmetry properties of Wong's type
equations are derived from the main results.Comment: 12 page
Hydrobionts of a freshwater oil-polluted northern lake: bioaccumulation of heavy metals in fish and the rate of ecosystem recovery
The response of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic and fish community structure to one of the biggest oil spill in history of Komi Republic (north-west part of Russia) was investigated using data from a long-term survey off the polluted lake. The characteristics of aquatic freshwater communities observed in the study area 10, 11 and 22 years after the spill (1994) were compared to find out the rate of natural recovery of the ecosystem after oil decontamination of bottom sediments. The concentrations of fifteen trace metals (Al, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Cd, Sb, Pb, U, Bi, Th) were analyzed in the tissues (muscle) of three fish species. The concentrations of Al (3-309 mg/kg), Cr (0,1-3,71 mg/kg), Fe (8,6-317 mg/kg), and Cu (0,09-99 mg/kg) in fishes from polluted lake resulted in most cases higher than reference thresholds. Quantitative and qualitative indicators of aquatic invertebrates from polluted lake reach those one of unpolluted lake but do not fully recover 22 years after the spill, despite that oil concentration in water column and in bottom sediments was lower than reference tresholds. We conclude that natural recovery rate of aquatic freshwater ecosystems in northern regions after oil pollution is extremely low. The purification of water and bottom sediments of oil-polluted northern water bodies is necessary for stimulation of ecosystem restoration
Phase Splitting for Periodic Lie Systems
In the context of the Floquet theory, using a variation of parameter
argument, we show that the logarithm of the monodromy of a real periodic Lie
system with appropriate properties admits a splitting into two parts, called
dynamic and geometric phases. The dynamic phase is intrinsic and linked to the
Hamiltonian of a periodic linear Euler system on the co-algebra. The geometric
phase is represented as a surface integral of the symplectic form of a
co-adjoint orbit.Comment: (v1) 15 pages. (v2) 16 pages. Some typos corrected. References and

Charm production nearby threshold in pA-interactions at 70 GeV
The results of the SERP-E-184 experiment at the U-70 accelerator (IHEP,
Protvino) are presented. Interactions of the 70 GeV proton beam with C, Si and
Pb targets were studied to detect decays of charmed , ,
, mesons and baryon near their production threshold.
Measurements of lifetimes and masses are shown a good agreement with PDG data.
The inclusive cross sections of charm production and their A-dependencies were
obtained. The yields of these particles are compared with the theoretical
predictions and the data of other experiments. The measured cross section of
the total open charm production ( = 7.1
2.3(stat) 1.4(syst) b/nucleon) at the collision c.m. energy
= 11.8 GeV is well above the QCD model predictions. The
contributions of different species of charmed particles to the total cross
section of the open charm production in proton-nucleus interactions vary with
energy.Comment: 4 pages, 6 pages, 38th International Conference on High Energy

Properties of Neutral Charmed Mesons in Proton--Nucleus Interactions at 70 GeV
The results of treatment of data obtained in the SERP-E-184experiment
"Investigation of mechanisms of the production of charmed particles in
proton-nucleus interactions at 70 GeV and their decays" by irradiating the
active target of the SVD-2 facility consisting of carbon, silicon, and lead
plates, are presented. After separating a signal from the two-particle decay of
neutral charmed mesons and estimating the cross section for charm production at
a threshold energy {\sigma}(c\v{c})=7.1 \pm 2.4(stat.) \pm 1.4(syst.)
\mub/nucleon, some properties of D mesons are investigated. These include the
dependence of the cross section on the target mass number (its A dependence);
the behavior of the differential cross sections d{\sigma}/dpt2 and
d{\sigma}/dxF; and the dependence of the parameter {\alpha} on the kinematical
variables xF, pt2, and plab. The experimental results in question are compared
with predictions obtained on the basis of the FRITIOF7.02 code.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures,3 table
