The Barnett approximation in the theory of hydrodynamic fluctuations

The Langevin dynamics and fluctuational-dissipative relationships for the hydrodynamic fluctuations for systems which are described in the third Barnett order with respect to the gradients of the hydrodynamic variables are generalized on the basis of a kinetic approach.     

Correlation between time functions of sound pressure, masking, and OAE suppression

Periodic sound-pressure time functions with frequency components below 50 Hz were used to measure within their period (a) the temporal course of masking, called a masking-period pattern (MPP), and (b) the temporal course of suppression of delayed evoked otoacoustic emissions, called a suppression-period pattern (SPP). Three different time functions were used: an alternating Gaussian impulse, its first integral, and its second integral. In each case, the course of the SPP is a mirror image of that of the MPP: Small masking corresponds to small suppression, while strong masking coincides with almost total suppression. Since otoacoustic emissions are assumed to have their origin in the inner ear, it can be argued that simultaneous masking, an effect including central processing, is very strongly based on peripheral processes located in the cochlea. Both MPP and SPP are closely related to the second derivative of the sound-pressure time function.     

Metastable States in Antiprotonic Helium Atoms: An Island of Stability in a Sea of Continuum

Effect of hydrogen on the photoelectronic properties of GaAs/InGaAs quantum-well heterostructures with an island palladium layer on the surface

The effect of hydrogen on the photoluminescence and planar conductivity of GaAs/InGaAs quantum-well heterostructures with an island Pd layer at the anodically oxidized surface was studied. Unlike continuous deposited Pd layers, island layers do not cause the formation of defects in the GaAs surface region and yet the Pd layer maintains high catalytic activity with respect to hydrogen. It is found that the thermal treatment of such a structure in a hydrogen atmosphere causes atomic-hydrogen passivation of the defects in quantum wells. Studies of the characteristics of planar photoresistors with an island Pd layer acting as hydrogen sensors show that their hydrogen detectivity is approximately two orders of magnitude higher than that of diode structures with continuous Pd layers.     

Automatic error correction in inflected languages

Systems for automatic detection and correction of spelling errors in natural language texts are considered. The development of such systems for both English and Russian (and for inflected languages in general, including all Slavic languages) is discussed. An approach associated with morphological analysis of the wordforms in the given text is described. The topics considered in the paper include the main methods of automatic spelling correction, levels of automation of the spelling error correction process, the effect of the type of computer used, the use of spelling error correctors in a stand-alone mode and in combination with word-processing software, and the maintenance of auxiliary dictionaries.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Teoriya Veroyatnostei, Matematicheskaya Statistika, Teoreticheskaya Kibernetika, Vol. 28, pp. 111–139, 1988.
