Strong scintillations of pulsed Laguerrian beams in a turbulent atmosphere.

Turbulent fluctuations of the energy density of broadband pulsed Laguerre-Gaussian beams are studied based on numerical solution of the parabolic wave equation for the complex spectral amplitude of the wave field by the split-step method. It is shown that in the regime of strong scintillations, the relative variance of energy density of the pulsed beams can take values smaller than unity, in contrast to the strong scintillation index of the continuous-wave beams, which tends to unity with increasing the turbulence strength. The level of residual spatial correlation of the energy density of pulsed beams exceeds that for the continuous-wave beams.

[Apoptosis and neutrophils on the regulation of proliferation and differentiation ex vifo of myeloid cells with Ph-chromosome].

Human myeloid cells with Ph chromosome (Ph+ cells) from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the course of proliferation and differentiation ex vivo are regulated under alternation of cell proliferation and neutrophil maturation stages by consecutive blocking and inducing apoptosis with of neutrophils participation as well bcr/abl, bax and bcl2 genes expression. Apoptosis regulation of three main Ph+ cells types from CML patients depends on alternation sequences of proliferation (1) and maturation (2) cell stages and realized by two ways. The first one is performed by consecutive blocking and inducing apoptosis under 2/1/2 stage alternation.
