Electrostatically Interacting Wannier Qubits in Curved Space.

A derivation of a tight-binding model from Schrödinger formalism for various topologies of position-based semiconductor qubits is presented in the case of static and time-dependent electric fields. The simplistic tight-binding model enables the description of single-electron devices at a large integration scale. The case of two electrostatically Wannier qubits (also known as position-based qubits) in a Schrödinger model is presented with omission of spin degrees of freedom.

Simulation of limb frostbites in air medium.

The clinical course of frostbites of the limbs was studied in 3 animal species (swine, dog, rabbit) with frostbites of different intensity and duration. Animals of different species exhibited different sensitivity of their limb tissues to cold. The rabbit proved to be the most adequate animal for frostbite simulation.

Effect of local application of superoxide dismutase on dielectric parameters of cooled skin in rats.

The effect of on Changes in dielectric parameters of the skin (modulus of complex dielectric permittivity |e| and dielectric loss tangent tgd) were studied on rats with local surface contact cooling followed by treatment with various cream formulations. Addition of antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) to the cream significantly prevented the shifts in these parameters, which attested to less pronounced changes in the water balance in SOD-treated skin. Application of SOD during the early terms after cooling accelerated wound healing.

Comparative evaluation of the depth of collagen and hyaluronic acid hydrolysis in vitro by collagenase and hyaluronidase preparations.

The molecular weights of collagen and hyaluronic acid solutions after their incubation with collagenase and hyaluronidase were evaluated by capillary viscosimetry. The results indicate high amylolytic activity of collagenase and the absence of proteolytic activity in hyaluronidase in an in vitro system.

Effect of differences in proton and neutron density distributions on fission barriers.

The neutron and proton density distributions obtained in constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations with the Gogny force along the fission paths of 232Th, 236U, 238U, and 240Pu are analyzed. Significant differences in the multipole deformations of neutron and proton densities are found. The effect on potential energy surfaces and on barrier heights is studied under an additional constraint by imposing similar spatial distributions to neutrons and protons, as assumed in macroscopic-microscopic models.
