The missing part of the greenhouse effect

Summary Global average temperatures from 1860 to 1989 were analysed with a simple fitting procedure. The temperature records can be fitted with a rising exponential up to 1946 and with the same exponential minus an increasing cooling action from 1946 to 1989. It is shown that the results are compatible with the hypothesis of an albedo increase caused by SO₂ emissions. This hypothesis gives satisfactory explanations of the temperature drop in the years 1940–1970, of the different warming of the northern and southern hemispheres and of the slower warming observed over North America. The results give an indication that the greenhouse warming in the next years could be faster than predicted until now. Due to the relevance of its scientific content, this paper has been given priority by the Journal Direction.     

A generalised model and calculation of the hyperfine interaction constant for anomalous muonium in the crystalline lattice of silicon

A new microscopic model of anomalous muonium for the elemental semiconductors is proposed. The relevant configuration consisting of both a diamagrentic molecule Si−Mu and an unpaired orbital e⁻ is contained into a semivacancy of the real lattice. By using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock computational method the principal properties of the system are established. A dynamical version of the model together with a question on the formation of such system are discussed.     

Green's temperature functions of massive scalar particles for finite matter density

An explicit expression is obtained for the Green's functions of a massive scalar field for nonnull temperatures and density in the form of a series in powers of m/T. The equivalence of the spectral-geometric approach and the temperature technique of Matsubara and Bernard is demonstrated. Corrections to the Stefan-Boltzmann law are obtained on the basis of the calculated Green's functions. The energy density is calculated in regions of high and low temperatures. The formulas obtained can prove to be useful in the discussion of the phase transition hadrons-quark-gluon plasma.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 32–40, July, 1991.     

The exactly resolved nonlattice model of random media based on Markov walks with a stable law for jumps

A random-medium model which is a correlated distribution of points (particles) randomly positioned in the 3-dimensional space is considered. The construction of the medium starts from a noncorrelated (Poisson) distribution of parent particles, each of them initiates a finite Markov chain of its descendants. The complete collection of correlation functions of all orders within the scope of the model have been obtained. The use of the 3-dimensional stable law (Lévy law) as a transition probability allows us to present the correlation function in an explicit form.

Resistance of composite flywheel rim to radial tensile stresses from centrifugal forces based on results of pure bending of a rim segment

A method is proposed for evaluating the resistance of a flywheel rim to radial stresses in free rotation. The method is based on loading a rim segment in pure bending and calculating the limiting moment and the corresponding limiting angular velocity. Applicability of the method is substantiated theoretically by investigating the similarity of the radial stress diagrams in rotation and pure bending. The method is verified experimentally for the strained state of a rim segment in pure bending.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 29, No. 4, pp. 521–526, July–August, 1993.     

Hamiltonian and recursion operators for two-dimensional scalar fields

The equation for the Noether operator is obtained. It gives the necessary conditions for complete integrability of the field equations. For several double-component models the Hamiltonian pairs and the recursion operators are presented.
