Initial-Boundary Value Problem for the Reynolds Lubrication Equation

The nonstationary Reynolds equation of the theory of gas lubrication is considered. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to the initial-boundary value problem for this equation are established in the case of sufficiently smooth data. Estimates for the solution are obtained for large bearing numbers. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Dynamics of fluorescence of solid solutions of quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI: Experiment and numerical simulation

The fluorescence of solid solutions of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and the organic dye DODCI is investigated. It is shown that nonradiative transfer of electronic excitation energy to dye molecules, which with some probability lose their acceptor properties as a result of photoisomerization or photodegradation, is responsible for a significant increase in the fluorescence intensity of a donor. The degree of polarization of the donor fluorescence attains values exceeding 0.5, which is due to the difference in the fluorescence quantum yields of donors with different orientations of the oscillator with respect to the electric vector of an excitation light wave. A numerical simulation of the experimentally observed dependences is performed.     

Chernoff efficiency of the sign and Wilcoxon tests for testing the symmetry hypothesis

The local Chernoff efficiency of the sign and Wilcoxon statistics are derived for the testing of symmetry on the basis of the analysis of the probabilities of large deviations of these statistics under the hypothesis and the alternative.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Self-similar solution of the problem of pseudo-three-dimensional vertical hydraulic fracture propagation in an impermeable stratum

The initial stage of propagation of a vertical hydraulic fracture in an impermeable or low-permeability stratum is considered within the framework of the pseudo-three-dimensional Perkins-Kern model.Moscow.

Average and local magnetic moments on Fe atoms in microcrystalline and amorphous Fe100−xPx alloys

We have measured the concentration dependence of the average magnetic moment per Fe atom _Fe(x) in microcrystalline and amorphous Fe-P alloys obtained over a wide concentration range using electrochemical deposition. The model of local magnetic moments has been used to described _Fe(x). On the basis of this model the effects of phosphorus on the value _Fe are explained in terms of the parameters of the local environment of the Fe atom.
