Bound states of scalar particles in the presence of a short range potential
We analyze the behavior of the energy spectrum of the Klein-Gordon equation
in the presence of a truncated hyperbolic tangent potential. From our analysis
we obtain that, for some values of the potential there is embedding of the
bound states into the negative energy continuum, showing that, in opposition to
the general belief, relativistic scalar particles in one-dimensional short
range potentials can exhibit resonant behavior and not only the Schiff-Snyder
effect.Comment: To appear in Modern Physics Letters
English → Russian MT evaluation campaign
This paper presents the settings and the result of the ROMIP 2013 MT shared task for the English→Russian language direction. The quality of generated translations was assessed using automatic metrics and human evaluation. We also discuss ways to reduce human evaluation efforts using pairwise sentence comparisons by human judges to simulate sort operations
Induced current in the presence of magnetic flux tube of small radius
The induced current density, corresponding to the massless Dirac equation in
(2+1) dimensions in a magnetic flux tube of small radius is considered. This
problem is important for graphene. In the case, when an electron can not
penetrate the region of nonzero magnetic field, this current is the odd
periodical function of the magnetic flux. If the region inside the magnetic
tube is not forbidden for penetration of electron, the induced current is not a
periodical function of the magnetic flux. However in the limit , where
is the radius of magnetic flux tube, this function has the universal form
which is independent of the magnetic field distribution inside the magnetic
tube at fixed value of the magnetic flux.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
Planar Dirac Electron in Coulomb and Magnetic Fields
The Dirac equation for an electron in two spatial dimensions in the Coulomb
and homogeneous magnetic fields is discussed. For weak magnetic fields, the
approximate energy values are obtained by semiclassical method. In the case
with strong magnetic fields, we present the exact recursion relations that
determine the coefficients of the series expansion of wave functions, the
possible energies and the magnetic fields. It is found that analytic solutions
are possible for a denumerably infinite set of magnetic field strengths. This
system thus furnishes an example of the so-called quasi-exactly solvable
models. A distinctive feature in the Dirac case is that, depending on the
strength of the Coulomb field, not all total angular momentum quantum number
allow exact solutions with wavefunctions in reasonable polynomial forms.
Solutions in the nonrelativistic limit with both attractive and repulsive
Coulomb fields are briefly discussed by means of the method of factorization.Comment: 18 pages, RevTex, no figure
Alkene and Olefin Functionalization by Organoaluminum Compounds, Catalyzed with Zirconocenes: Mechanisms and Prospects
Alkene and olefin functionalization via addition of electro‐ or nucleophilic reagents is one of the convenient synthetic methods for the insertion of heteroatoms into organic molecules. The use of organometallic reagents in these reactions in combination with the specific catalysts provides high substrate conversion and process selectivity. The introduction of this approach into the chemistry of organoaluminum compounds leads to the development of chemo‐, regio‐ and stereoselective catalytic methods of alkene and olefin functionalization. The chapter focuses on the modern concepts of the alkene hydro‐, carbo‐ and cycloalumination mechanisms, that is, the experimental and theoretical data on the intermediate structures involved in the product formation, the effects of the catalyst and organoaluminum compound structure, reaction conditions on the activity and selectivity of the bimetallic systems. The prospects of the development of enantioselective methods using these catalytic systems for the alkene and olefin transformations are considered
N-tert-Butyl-3-mesitylpropanamide
In the title compound, C16H25NO, the N-tert-butylpropanamide fragment is essentially planar, with the exception of two C atoms of the tert-butyl group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å), forming a dihedral angle of 84.09 (10)° with the plane of the mesityl fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). The crystal packing is stabilized by an intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which links the molecules into chains with graph-set notation C(4) running parallel to the c axis
Clinic and Diagnosis of Benign Tumors of the Oropharynx
Despite some progress in the treatment of oncological diseases, a significant number of patients turn to medical institutions late. Improving the early diagnosis of oropharyngeal neoplasms and organizing specialized care for patients is the common goal of oncologists and otorhinolaryngologists, the achievement of which will allow effective treatment of these patients. Based on a large clinical material, an analysis of the data of the clinical course was carried out and a detailed assessment of each of the methods for diagnosing tumors of the oropharynx was given
Dynamic changes from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing GABAergic actions during giant depolarizing potentials in the neonatal rat hippocampus
© 2015 the authors. During development, GABA exerts depolarizing action on immature neurons and, acting in synergy with glutamate, drives giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs) in the hippocampal network. Yet, blockade of the GABA(A) receptors transforms GDPs to epileptiform discharges suggesting dual, both excitatory and inhibitory, actions of GABA in the immature hippocampal network. However, the nature of this dualism in early GABA actions is poorly understood. Here we characterized the dynamics of synaptic currents mediated by GABA(A) and glutamate receptors through an estimation of the changes in their conductance and driving forces in neonatal rat CA3 pyramidal cells during GDPs. We found that depolarizing GABAergic and glutamatergic currents act in synergy at the GDPs’ onset. However, during the peak of the population discharge, the inward synaptic current was essentially mediated by glutamate receptors whereas GABA currents transiently switched their direction from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing as a result of neuronal depolarization above the GABA(A) reversal potential. Thus, the action of GABA on CA3 pyramidal cells dynamically changes during GDPs from excitatory at the GDPs’ onset to inhibitory at the GDPs’ peak. We propose that the dynamic changes in GABA actions occurring during GDPs enable GABAergic interneurons not only to initiate the discharge of pyramidal cells but also to control excitation in the recurrent CA3 network preventing epileptiform synchronization
