Inviscid fixed point of the multidimensional Burgers-Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.

A new scaling regime characterized by a z=1 dynamical critical exponent has been reported in several numerical simulations of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and noisy Burgers equations. In these works, this scaling, differing from the well-known KPZ one z=3/2, was found to emerge in the tensionless limit for the interface and in the inviscid limit for the fluid. Based on functional renormalization group, the origin of this scaling has been elucidated.

Confinement Effects in Droplet Formation on a Solid Particle.

Formation of a droplet around a spherical solid particle in supersaturated vapor is considered. The number and stability of equilibrium solutions in a closed small system are studied in the canonical ensemble in comparison to an open system in the grand canonical ensemble. Depending on the system's parameters, two modes exist in the canonical ensemble: the first one with only one solution and the second one with three solutions; the presence of the third solution is due to confinement.

[Lysozyme activity in diphyllobothriasis patients].

A considerable decrease in lysozime activity has been detected in the serum of patients with diphyllobothriasis especially in the early period of invasion. A 13-20-fold increase in enzyme activity has been found in the urine of patients, which disappeared 1 month after treatment, indicating the normalization of the immune status after the recovery from diphyllobothriasis. The index of lysozyme activity may be used in combination with other tests for the evaluation of the treatment efficacy.

[Inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes in the blood serum of patients with diphyllobothriasis].

The proteinase inhibitors alpha 1-protease inhibitor (alpha 1-antitrypsin) and alpha 2-macroglobulin have been determined in 24 patients with diphyllobothriasis (D. latum and D. dendriticum), with their activity expressed in conventional units per ml serum inhibiting or binding the activity of 1 unit of trypsin, respectively.
