Rotation in cosmology

Cosmological models for a universe with expansion and rotation are considered. In particular, we analyse some effects of the universal rotation on the observational cosmology. It is shown that pure cosmic rotation does not produce neither causality voilations, nor parallax effects, nor anisotropy of the microwave background radiation. It can be detected by studying angular dependence of standard cosmological tests, and is directly measurable via polarization observations. The latter are used to obtain experimental estimates for the direction and value of the rotation of the universeThis essay received the third award from the Gravity Research Foundation, 1991 — Ed.

Complexity of factorization and GCD computation for linear ordinary differential operators

This paper presents an algorithm of polynomial complexity for finding greatest common (right) divisors of families of linear ordinary differential operators. An algorithm is presented for factorization of operators into the product of irreducible operators with complexity significantly better than that of previously known algorithms. Estimates are given for the coefficients of the expansion of the fundamental solution of the corresponding linear differential equation.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Difference in micellar properties of sodium dodecyl sulfonate from sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate in D2O solution studied by 1H NMR relaxation and 2D NOESY

¹H chemical shift changes of sodium 4-decyl naphthalene sulfonate (SDNS) at 313 K show that its critical micellar concentration lies between 0.82 and 0.92 mmol/dm³, which is in the same range as that of the previous study at 298 K. The spin–lattice relaxation time, spin–spin relaxation time and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments give information about the structure of the SDNS micelle and the dynamics of the molecules in the micelle. The size of the SDNS micelle remains almost unchanged in the temperature range from 298 to 313 K as deduced by analyzing the self-diffusion coefficient. Special arrangement of the naphthyl rings of SDNS in the micelles affects the packing of these hydrophobic chains. The methylene groups of the alkyl chain nearest the naphthalene groups penetrate into the aromatic region, which results in a more tightly packed hydrophobic micellar core than that of sodium dodecyl sulfonate.     

在教学中加强对学生非智力因素的培养

仅仅依靠智力因素的作用，并不能充分地理解学习过程中的成功和失败，人们越来越多地注意到非智力因素在学习过程中所起的巨大作用。中国在这方面的格言甚多；“哀莫过于心死，愁莫过于无志”；“勤能补拙”；“笨鸟先飞”等都是说非智力因素的重要性。     

Interactions of surface states of copper with transition metals and cesium

The pseudopotential augmented-plane-wave method was used to study the surface structure of thin copper films with monolayers of Co, Ni, and Cs. Local densities of electron states, distributions of charge densities in the layers, and electron energy spectra are analyzed. The effect of adsorbates on the electronic properties of the Cu(001) surface and work function are discussed. Satisfactory agreement with available experimental data has been obtained.
