Effect of Gas Type and Its Pressure on Nanobubble Generation.

The dependence of the volume number density of ion-stabilized gas nanobubbles (bubstons) on the type of gas and the pressure created by this gas in deionized water and saline solution has been investigated. The range of external pressures from the saturated water vapor (17 Torr) to 5 atm was studied. It turned out that the growth rate of the volume number density of bubstons is controlled by the magnitude of the molecular polarizability of dissolved gases.

Low-level laser therapy as a modifier of erythrocytes morphokinetic parameters in hyperadrenalinemia.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is widely used in clinical practice for treatment of various pathologies. It is assumed that LLLT impact on microcirculation is among the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effect. The microcirculation disorder is observed in the pathogenesis of any inflammatory process and is significantly influenced by red blood cells (RBCs).

[The evaluation of genotoxic effects in buccal epithelium under disorders of adaption status of organism.].

The cyto-morphologic analysis of buccal epithelium is one of technique of evaluation of adaptation status of organism and xenogeneic intoxication. The analysis of reactivity of cells of buccal epithelium is used to obtain information concerning genetic alterations in human cells that is extremely important for proper decision making related to issues of population health protection. The smoking results in manifestation of tension of adaptation mechanisms and significant increasing of risk of development cytogenetic disorders in cells of buccal epithelium of oral cavity.

Nanobubble clusters of dissolved gas in aqueous solutions of electrolyte. I. Experimental proof.

Results of experiments with dynamic light scattering, phase microscopy, and polarimetric scatterometry allow us to claim that long-living gas nanobubbles and the clusters composed of such nanobubbles are generated spontaneously in an aqueous solution of salt, saturated with dissolved gas (say, atmospheric air). The characteristic sizes of both nanobubbles and their clusters are found by solving the inverse problem of optical wave scattering in ionic solutions. These experimental results develop our earlier study reported by Bunkin et al.

Magnetic properties of Pd atomic chains formed during submonolayer deposition of 3d metals on Pd(110).

Recently, an unusual intermixing-driven scenario for the growth of atomic Pd chains on a Pd(110) surface during deposition of 3d metal atoms has been predicted (Stepanyuk 2009 Phys. Rev. B 79 155410) and confirmed by STM and STS experiments (Wie et al 2009 Phys.
