The high energy cosmic ray particle spectra measurements with the PAMELA calorimeter

Abstract Up until now there has been limited, contradictive data on the high energy range of the cosmic ray electron-positron, proton and helium spectra. Due to the limitations of the use of a magnetic spectrometer, over 8 years experimental data was processed using information from a sampling electro-magnetic calorimeter, a neutron detector and scintillator detectors. The use of these devices allowed us to successfully obtain the high energy cosmic ray particle spectra measurements. The results of this study clarify previous findings and greaten our understanding of the origin of cosmic rays

Deuteron spectrum measurements under radiation belt with PAMELA instrument

Abstract In this work the results of data analysis of the deuteron albedo radiation obtained in the PAMELA experiment are presented. PAMELA is an international space experiment carried out on board of the satellite Resurs DK-1. The high precision detectors allow to register and identify cosmic ray particles in a wide energy range. The albedo deuteron spectrum in the energy range 70 – 600 MeV/nucleon has been measured

PAMELA Observation of the 2012 May 17 GLE Event

The PAMELA (Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) satellite-borne experiment has been collecting data in orbit since July 2006, providing accurate measurements of the energy spectra and composition of the cosmic radiation from a few hundred MeVn up to hundred GeVn. This wide interval of measured energies makes PAMELA a unique instrument for Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) observations. Not only does it span the energy range between the ground-based neutron monitor data and the observations of SEPs from space, but also PAMELA carries out the first direct measurements of the composition for the highest energy SEP events, including those causing Ground Level Enhancements (GLEs). PAMELA has registered many SEP events in solar cycle 24 including the 2012 May 17 GLE event (GLE 71), offering unique opportunities to address the question of high-energy SEP origin. Experimental performances and preliminary results on the 2012 May 17 events will be presented. We will discuss the derived particle injection time and compare with other time scales at the Sun including the flare and CME onset times

UNDERSTANDING AFFECT IN SPINOZA's "ETHICS" AND G. DELEUZE's INTERPRETATION: HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS

The article addresses the problem of G. Deleuze’s interpretation of the doctrine of affects set forth in B. Spinoza's treatise “Ethics”. The main task of B. Spinoza's ethical doctrine is the search for moral freedom, which he directly connects with the ability of adequate knowledge. Freedom is designed to bring a person out of a state of slavery, reduced to his powerlessness before the subordinate influence of affects. Focusing on the principle of variability, as well as on the specifics of affects existing in the form of binary opposition, G. Deleuze discovers and outlines a practical way to overcome them

Prediction of Disadaptation Disorders in Terms of the Immune Status

The aim of the study is to enable rapid development of forecasting human disadaptation disorders caused by stress factors change living conditions. The developed method allows for the values of salivary immunoglobulin A, ceruloplasmin and proportion of lymphocytes in the blood leukocyte formula to recognize nosological class of diseases which are based on the failure of adaptation processes. Application of the method allows early adaptation period to identify individuals with poor adaptive skills and to predict the likely nosological form disadaptation disorders, which are essential for effective preventive measures

The possibility of developing methane-coal deposits in the Korotaikha depression of the Pechora basin

The Pechora coal basin is considered to be one of the promising targets for the extraction of unconventional hydrocarbon raw materials – coalbed methane. Korotaikha depression is a structural subdivision of two basins – the Timano-Pechora oil and gas basin and Pechora coal basin. Currently, there is a favorable situation for the development of coalbed methane resources: on the one hand, the construction of new coal enterprises is postponed indefinitely, on the other hand, oil producing companies come with technologies close to the technologies for self-extracting methane from coal seams.The issue of perspective methane-coal fields of the Korotaikha depression in the Pechora coal basin is considered in the article. Favorable conditions and significant (about 900 billion cubic meters) methane resources predetermine the prospects of this territory for its independent production. The geological characteristics of the fields are considered and their ranking is carried out taking into account the preliminary selection of the most promising methane-coal objects. Due to the different degree of exploration of fields and the lack of (complete or partial) necessary data, some of the geological indicators served as evaluation criteria, and the preliminary assessment carried out. The prospects of four fields for the experimental work on the methane extraction opportunities are justified
