Kinetics, Hydrodynamics and Stochastodynamics of Cellular Structure Coarsening
For the first time the phenomenon of cellular structure coarsening are
consistently analysed from the positions of kinetic, hydrodynamic and
stochastodynamic theories of nonequilibrium statistical systems. Thereby
micro-, meso- and macroscopic levels of approach are distinguished. At the
microscopic level the cellular structure is describe by a probability
distribution function in a phase space of cell coordinates and of cell sizes. A
kinetic equation for the function is written and a development to a
hydrodynamic equation of a mesoscopic cell medium is realised. It has the form
of a diffusion-reaction equation with a negative "diffusion" coefficient and
with a cell interface density playing the role of concentration. Its analysis
reveals a new effect of macroscopic patterning in the cell medium: existence of
space-correlated stochastic fluctuations of the cell interface density.Comment: 12 pages, Latex, 3 eps figures. Submitted for publication in Modern

The model of neutrino vacuum flavour oscillations and quantum mechanics
It is shown that the model of vacuum flavour oscillations is in disagreement
with quantum mechanics theorems and postulates. Features of the model are
analyzed. It is noted that apart from the number of mixed mass states neutrino
oscillations are forbidden by Fock-Krylov theorem. A possible reason of
oscillation model inadequacy is discussed.Comment: 12 page
Spiral Waves in Media with Complex Excitable Dynamics
The structure of spiral waves is investigated in super-excitable
reaction-diffusion systems where the local dynamics exhibits multi-looped phase
space trajectories. It is shown that such systems support stable spiral waves
with broken symmetry and complex temporal dynamics. The main structural
features of such waves, synchronization defect lines, are demonstrated to be
similar to those of spiral waves in systems with complex-oscillatory dynamics.Comment: to appear in International Journal of Bifurcation and Chao
Gravitational Wave Detection with High Frequency Phonon Trapping Acoustic Cavities
There are a number of theoretical predictions for astrophysical and
cosmological objects, which emit high frequency (~Hz) Gravitation
Waves (GW) or contribute somehow to the stochastic high frequency GW
background. Here we propose a new sensitive detector in this frequency band,
which is based on existing cryogenic ultra-high quality factor quartz Bulk
Acoustic Wave cavity technology, coupled to near-quantum-limited SQUID
amplifiers at ~mK. We show that spectral strain sensitivities reaching
per per mode is possible, which in principle can
cover the frequency range with multiple () modes with quality factors
varying between allowing wide bandwidth detection. Due to its
compactness and well established manufacturing process, the system is easily
scalable into arrays and distributed networks that can also impact the overall
sensitivity and introduce coincidence analysis to ensure no false detections.Comment: appears in Phys. Rev. D, (2014
