In this paper,we discuss a large number of sets of global parametric sufficient optimality condi-tions under various gcneralized (η,ρ)-invexity assumptions for a semi-infinite minmax fractional programmingproblem.     

A lithium experiment in the program of solar neutrino research

Experiments sensitive to pp neutrinos from the Sun are very promising for precise measurement of the mixing angle ϑ ₁₂. A νe ⁻ scattering experiment (XMASS) and/or a charged-current experiment (indium detector) can measure the flux of electron pp neutrinos. One can find the total flux of pp neutrinos from a luminosity constraint after the contributions of ⁷Be and CNO neutrinos to the total luminosity of the Sun are measured. A radiochemical experiment utilizing a lithium target has high sensitivity to the CNO neutrinos; thus, it has a good promise for precise measurement of the mixing angle and for a test of the current theory of evolution of the stars. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Relaxation processes in glasses of the Ge-As-S system

The internal friction in Ge _x As_{40 ? x} S₆₀ glasses is investigated in the temperature range 100 K-T _g at infralow frequencies (10^?3?10^?1 Hz). It is shown that the concentration dependence of the internal friction of these materials changes as a result of the transformation of the dominant kinetic unit in dissipative processes of the relaxation and nonrelaxation types. It is established tha the change in the mechanism of internal friction in the Ge _x As_{40 ? x} S₆₀ glasses leads to a jump in the activation energy of the α relaxation and to a local minimum in the frequency factor τ₀.     

Description of the smooth rms charge radius surface R(N, Z) and prediction of neutron skin by a two-liquid drop model

The smooth N and Z dependence of nuclear rms charge radii is interpereted by a two-liquid drop model with ?_p+?_n=?₀=const. Proton and neutron radii R _p and R _n are given in closed form. In addition to rms charge radii, the model yields the nucleon number dependence of the skin thickness, s, e.g. ds=0.00124×dA for Sn isotopes, in agreement with experimental results and theoretical calculations. A strong correlation between the two global parameters of the model — including s _stthe skin thickness of the stable isotope — is established. If s _stis taken from experiment, the other parameter is also fixed; this parameter (m) characterizes the restoring force responsible for the skin thickness. Its value m=2.2 suggests that — in addition to the number of nucleons in the skin — the skin thickness also influences the distribution of “surplus” nucleons between volume and skin.     

Kinetics of heterogeneous hydrodynamic coagulation of microscopic drops

A prototype reactor for heterogeneous hydrodynamic coagulation of emulsions was developed and tested. The efficiency of coagulation of water emulsions of some organic liquids was studied in relation to process conditions.
