Narrowband filters based on one-barrier crystallike structures

A method of producing narrowband high-selectivity filters based on resonance tunneling in onebarrier crystallike structures is proposed. Characteristics illustrating the efficiency of the method are presented.     

Charge injection in study of ferroelectric film properties

A model of a capacitor with a two-layer insulator has been considered. The current density exponentially depends on voltage in one of layers and is negligible in the other layer. The dependences of current on the time of voltage action and the charge-voltage characteristics of the two-layer capacitor have been calculated. The results obtained can be used to detect and study charge injection during polarization of ferroelectrics.     

Low-mode tomography of inhomogeneities in a shallow sea

Potentialities of observing spatially localized inhomogeneities by the low-frequency low-mode pulsed diffraction tomography in a shallow sea are analyzed. A numerically simulated model is used to study the procedure of reconstructing the parameters of inhomogeneities by coprocessing the signals of the tomographic projections formed at the multistatic excitation and reception of low-frequency low-mode acoustic pulses.     

Copolymers of acrylic acid with urea

Composition and rheological characteristics of aqueous solutions of acrylic acid/urea copolymers were studied, including the composition dependences of the equivalent conductivity and viscosity.     

Thermochemistry of potassium morpholinodithiocarbamate

Results of thermochemical studies of a new compound, potassium morpholinodithiocarbamate, are presented. The enthalpies of its solution in water at various dilutions and the specific heat at 173–348 K were examined by the experimental methods of isothermal and dynamic calorimetry.     

Literal‐paraconsistent and literal‐paracomplete matrices

We introduce a family of matrices that define logics in which paraconsistency and/or paracompleteness occurs only at the level of literals, that is, formulas that are propositional letters or their iterated negations. We give a sound and complete axiomatization for the logic defined by the class of all these matrices, we give conditions for the maximality of these logics and we study in detail several relevant examples.

The preparation and structure of 1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-2-endo-ferrocenylhydroxymethyl-3-endo-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene

The crystal structure of a novel ferrocene derivative with potential flame-retardant/smoke-suppressant activity, 1,4,5,6,7,7-hexachloro-2-endo-ferrocenyl-hydroxymethyl-3-endo-hydroxymethyl-5-norbornene, has been determined. Some of the carbon–carbon bonds within the chlorendic residue are unusually long, and there is no interaction between the hydroxyl groups and the iron atom. There is evidence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the two hydroxyl groups.     

Weakly Nonlinear Lower-Branch Stability of Fully Developed and Developing Free-Surface Flows

We examine the weakly nonlinear stability of both fully developedand of developing liquid layers. The study of these free-surfaceflows is more complicated than that of many other flows owingto the fully nonlinear boundary conditions present. The scalingsused for the two problems follow from the work of J. S. B. Gajjar,who described their linear stability properties. We use thetechnique given by F. T. Smith to derive amplitude equationsof the type presented by J. T. Stuart and J. Watson. Both flowsare found to be supercritically stable in general and a varietyof asymptotic cases are considered.     

Lower bounds for positive and negative parts of measures and the arrangement of singularities of their Laplace transforms

For a real measure with variation V(x) satisfying the estimate V(x) ≤ c ₀ exp(Cx) and for the Laplace transform holomorphic in the disk {¦ -C¦ ≤ C} and having at least one pole of order m, we obtain lower bounds for the positive and negative parts of the measure V _± (x) > cx ^m , x > x ₀. We establish lower bounds for V _+- (x) on “short” intervals. Applications to number theory of the results obtained are considered.
