Numerical study of vortex system quantum melting
We report a numerical study of the vortex system in the two dimensional
II-type superconductors. We have proposed a phenomenological model that takes
into account quantum fluctuations of Abrikosov's vortices. The results of the
quantum Monte-Carlo simulations by the SSE algorithm show that the thermal
fluctuations are dominated by quantum fluctuations at low temperatures. In
particular, we demonstrate the possibility of the quantum melting transition
for vortex system in the temperature region where thermal melting transition is
improbable
Negative magnetoresistance of heavily doped silicon p-n junction
At the liquid helium temperature and under application of magnetic fields up to 9.4 T, a voltage drop across a silicon diode with metallic conductivity of the emitter and base has been measured under passing a constant forward current through the diode. Observed magnetoresistance of the diode is proved as a whole to be extremely small, negative at low fields and changing its sign when the field increases. In the positive region of the diode magnetoresistance, its field dependence is quadratic at first and then becomes close to the linear one. With increase in the current through the diode, the negative component of the diode magnetoresistance decreases, and the smaller its value, the more extended is the quadratic section and the shorter is the linear one. The results are interpreted as caused by hopping conduction over a system of electron “lakes” in the region of p-n junction
Dendritic flux avalanches in superconducting Nb3Sn films
The penetration of magnetic flux into a thin superconducting film of Nb3Sn
with critical temperature 17.8K and critical current density 6MA/cm^2 was
visualized using magneto-optical imaging. Below 8 K an avalanche-like flux
penetration in form of big and branching dendritic structures was observed in
response to increasing perpendicular applied field. When a growing dendritic
branch meets a linear defect in the film, several scenarios were observed: the
branch can turn and propagate along the defect, continue propagation right
through it, or "tunnel" along a flux-filled defect and continue growth from its
other end. The avalanches manifest themselves in numerous small and random
jumps found in the magnetization curve.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Cryogenics. Revision: M(H) data

Медико-организационные аспекты совершенствования ультразвуковой диагностики
One of the important directions of improving ultrasound diagnostics is to improve the resource support of the service. According to the data obtained, 25.2% of ultrasound diagnosticians rated the existing ultrasound equipment as obsolete. 18.9% of respondents reported a lack of consumables for conducting ultrasound examinations, 13.8% of office equipment (printer, scanner, xerox), 10.1% of computers, 11.9% of internal document management software . The proportion of doctors of ultrasound diagnostics dissatisfied with the premises for the workplace amounted to 14.5%.Одним из важных направлений совершенствования ультразвуковой диагностики является улучшение ресурсного обеспечения службы.Согласно полученным данным, 25,2% врачей ультразвуковой диагностики оценили имеющееся ультразвуковое оборудование как устаревшее.
