Mathematical modeling of high-energy materials rheological behavior in 3D printing technology.

In this paper, a mathematical model of the extrusion process in 3D printing of high-energy composites is studied. These composites are formed from polymer binder and powder with bimodal particles obtained by electric explosion technique. The main difficulty of extrusion 3D printing method is primarily linked to the high viscosity of utilized material, especially one with high concentration of particles.

[Surgical treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and ischaemic heart disease].

Presented herein are the results of treatment of 137 patients with infrarenal aneurysms of the abdominal portion of the aorta in a combination with ischaemic heart disease. Severity of lesions to the coronary bed and the risk of cardiac complications were assessed according to the SYNTAX score. Depending on severity of angina pectoris and the clinical course of infrarenal aortic aneurysms, we used different tactical approaches to operative treatment of patients.

Thermo-Optical Studies of Laser Ceramics.

A cycle of works on manufacturing and studying laser and magnetooptical ceramics with a focus on their thermo-optical characteristics performed by the research team is analyzed. Original results that have not been published before such as measurements of the Verdet constant in the Zr:TAG, Re:MgAlO, and ZnAlO ceramics are also presented.

High-purity CVD-ZnSe polycrystal as a magneto-active medium for a multikilowatt Faraday isolator.

Prospects for using ZnSe polycrystals synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for the development of Faraday isolators for high-power radiation at a wavelength of 1076 nm are investigated. A Faraday isolator was built by a conventional scheme for room temperature operation. No thermally induced depolarization was observed in the device for the laser power range up to 1270 W, which is the main limiting factor for powerful isolators.

Enzymatic degradation of the polymer capsules with a hydrophobic core in the presence of Langmuir lipid monolayer as a model of the cellular membrane.

Submicrocapsules were prepared from diethylaminoethyl dextran (DEAE-D), xanthan gum (XG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on oil cores by ultrasonic treatment. These capsules were modified with poly-L-lysine (PLL) via electrostatic adsorption. The behavior of the capsules was investigated at an air-water interface after their introduction into an aqueous subphase.
