Nongravitational Fields and Space-Time Curvature

The problem of dimensionality of time is considered. The space-time curvature is shown to result not only from the presence of the gravitational field but also from a certain other field whose potential is a positive value.     

Magnetic Properties of Iron-Based Amorphous Metal Wires

It has been studied how the conditions of machining and the elastic tensile stresses affect the magnetic properties of amorphous metal wires of composition Fe₇₅Si₁₀B₁₅ produced by drawing from a melt. The magnetic characteristics of wires subjected to both thermal treatment and treatment with a continuous electric current of different magnitude have been investigated. The residual induction of wires is their magnetic parameter most sensitive to the conditions of treatment. The dependences of the residual induction on temperature and on the magnitude of the treating electric current are qualitatively similar. The greatest changes in residual induction are observed in the range of treating electric currents from 0.5 to 0.8 A, which can be associated with the processes of structural relaxation and crystallization occurring in the wires. The run of the dependence of the residual induction on the magnitude of tensile stresses is nonmonotonic in character and is determined by the level of internal hardening stresses of the test wires.     

The Kapitza Effect in Charge-Ordered Layered Crystals

It is shown that the Kapitza effect in charge-ordered layered crystals can be explained for the case of a parallelism of magnetic field and measuring current when the Landau quantization and its effect on the charge-carrier scattering are considered. There is a linear correlation between the magnetic field and longitudinal resistance under the assumption that the scattering of charge carriers by acoustic phonons is dominant, and the band-to-band transitions are suppressed. The relations for the Kapitza coefficient are derived for different degrees of electron gas degeneracy and different values of interaction resulting in layered charge ordering.     

Calculation of the Characteristics of an Infinite Linear Queue for a Doubly Stochastic Incoming Stream

In the present paper, the mathematical expectation and variance of the number of queries in an infinite linear queue are calculated for the Poisson synchronous doubly stochastic stream of incoming queries with two intensity states.     

Measurements of Time-Varying Characteristics of Optical Signals and Inhomogeneities of Tested Substances with Additional Phase Modulation

The problem of investigation of the amplitude and phase structure of a time-varying probing optical signal and the structure of time-varying inhomogeneities of a substance tested by this signal is considered. The analysis is concerned, in particular, with determination of the structure of signals and processes with resolution in the pico- and femtosecond range. The scheme used for the analysis is based on registration of four spatially separated spectra of the studied radiation. The spectra are formed in a four-channel scheme with a twin-wave Michelson interferometer and a spectral device. Modulators based on electrooptical crystals (perovskites) are placed in the channels. The sum spectra are formed: without modulators, with the effect of either of the modulators, and with both of them affecting the radiation. The effect of the studied substance implies either modulating the radiation (in this case it is described by multiplication) or redistributing the radiation (then it is described by convolution).     

A new solution to the problem of an acoustically transparent body

The method of active impedance matching is applied to the well-known problem of an acoustically transparent body. Two laws of active force control, by velocity and by pressure, are obtained for solving the problem.
