    The technique of culture modernization level measurement developed by Yu.Vasserman was the base of our survey. The survey checked the hypothesis that effect of culture modernization level on electoral practices and Perm culture project estimations is availability. The data could not refute the hypothesis.На основе разработанной Ю. M. Вассерманом методики измерения уровня модернизации культуры проверяются гипотезы о влиянии указанного уровня, как на электоральные практики обследуемых студентов, так и оценки ими Пермского культурного проекта. Эмпирические данные не опровергают выдвинутые гипотезы

    Hadron Production via e+e- Collisions with Initial State Radiation

    Full text link
    A novel method of studying e+e- annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e+e- colliders is described. After brief history of the method, its theoretical foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive cross sections of e+e- annihilation into hadrons below the center-of-mass energy of 5 GeV have been measured are presented. Some applications of the results obtained to fundamental tests of the Standard Model are listed.Comment: 50 pages, 88 figures, accepted for publication in Rev. Mod. Phy

    Pion and Kaon Electromagnetic Form Factors

    Full text link
    We study the electromagnetic form factor of the pion and kaons at low-energies with the use of Chiral Perturbation Theory. The analysis is performed within the three flavour framework and at next-to-next-to-leading order. We explain carefully all the relevant consistency checks on the expressions, present full analytical results for the pion form factor and describe all the assumptions in the analysis. From the phenomenological point of view we make use of our expression and the available data to obtain the charge radius of the pion obtaining Vπ=(0.452+0.013)fm2_V^\pi=(0.452+-0.013) fm^2, as well as the low-energy constant L9r(mρ)=(5.93+0.43)103L_9^r(m_\rho)= (5.93+-0.43)10^{-3}. We also obtain experimental values for 3 combinations of order p6p^6 constants.Comment: 50 page

    Extracting Br(omega->pi^+ pi^-) from the Time-like Pion Form-factor

    Full text link
    We extract the G-parity-violating branching ratio Br(omega->pi^+ pi^-) from the effective rho-omega mixing matrix element Pi_{rho omega}(s), determined from e^+e^- -> pi^+ pi^- data. The omega->pi^+ pi^- partial width can be determined either from the time-like pion form factor or through the constraint that the mixed physical propagator D_{rho omega}^{mu nu}(s) possesses no poles. The two procedures are inequivalent in practice, and we show why the first is preferred, to find finally Br(omega->pi^+ pi^-) = 1.9 +/- 0.3%.Comment: 12 pages (published version

    © 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Cell functionalization with recently developed various nano- and microcarriers for therapeutics has significantly expanded the application of cell therapy and targeted drug delivery for the effective treatment of a number of diseases. The aim of this progress report is to review the most recent advances in cell-based drug vehicles designed as biological transporter platforms for the targeted delivery of different drugs. For the design of cell-based drug vehicles, different pathways of cell functionalization, such as covalent and noncovalent surface modifications, internalization of carriers are considered in greater detail together with approaches for cell visualization in vivo. In addition, several animal models for the study of cell-assisted drug delivery are discussed. Finally, possible future developments and applications of cell-assisted drug vehicles toward targeted transport of drugs to a designated location with no or minimal immune response and toxicity are addressed in light of new pathways in the field of nanomedicine

    A constraint on antigravity of antimatter from precision spectroscopy of simple atoms

    Consideration of antigravity for antiparticles is an attractive target for various experimental projects. There are a number of theoretical arguments against it but it is not quite clear what kind of experimental data and theoretical suggestions are involved. In this paper we present straightforward arguments against a possibility of antigravity based on a few simple theoretical suggestions and some experimental data. The data are: astrophysical data on rotation of the Solar System in respect to the center of our galaxy and precision spectroscopy data on hydrogen and positronium. The theoretical suggestions for the case of absence of the gravitational field are: equality of electron and positron mass and equality of proton and positron charge. We also assume that QED is correct at the level of accuracy where it is clearly confirmed experimentally
