Abstract: In the present section we introduce the notion of a stochastic differential equation and prove some general theorems concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions of these equations. For this purpose it is necessary to generalize the notion of a stochastic integral introduced above. Generally speaking, our approach to stochastic differential equations is based on the following considerations.

TL;DR: Experimental results are given for the photoionization of rubidium vapor using a ruby-laser-pumped dye laser and a doubled ruby laser radiation, and photodissociation of HCl using the Raman-shifted output and the fourth harmonic output of a tunable Nd-glass laser.
Abstract: The general considerations for two-step photoionization of atoms and photodissociation of molecules using tunable laser sources are discussed. Experimental results are given for the (1) photoionization of rubidium vapor using a ruby-laser-pumped dye laser and a doubled ruby laser radiation, and (2) photodissociation of HCl using the Raman-shifted output and the fourth harmonic output of a tunable Nd-glass laser. The possibilities for other laser systems are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have measured the dynamic shear modulus and flow rate through capillaries under constant pressure and under constant velocity of the piston, for polybutadienes and polyisoprenes of narrow molecular weight distribution with molecular weights ranging, respectively, from 3.8 × 104 to 5.8× 105 and from 1.06 × 105 to 6.02 × 105.
Abstract: The dynamic shear modulus and the flow rate through capillaries under constant pressure and under constant velocity of the piston, have been measured for polybutadienes and polyisoprenes of narrow molecular weight distribution with molecular weights ranging, respectively, from 3.8 × 104 to 5.8 × 105 and from 1.06 × 105 to 6.02 × 105. The phenomena of the discontinuous increase of volume flow rate and self-oscillatory flow regime at critical rates of deformation have been considered in detail. It is proposed that these phenomena are due to the induced transition of the polymer from the fluid to the high-elastic state at higher deformation rates. As a result, an inference has been made that polybutadienes and polyisoprenes with a narrow molecular weight distribution in the high-elastic state, behave in certain respects as crosslinked polymers incapable of displaying fluidity. The quantitative relationships among the viscoelastic characteristics measured under dynamic regimes, the parameters determining the critical flow regimes, and the molecular weights of polybutadienes and polyisoprenes have been worked out.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized thermal equation of adsorption, i.e., ψ(θ, p, T) = 0, applicable to the quantitative description of molecules sharply differing in electronic structure on microporous adsorbents widely different in nature (active carbons, zeolites, etc.) is considered.
Abstract: Adsorption on a nonporous, nonswelling adsorbent and adsorption in micropores represent two limiting cases of physical adsorption which are clearly distinguishable thermodynamically. In the first case, the chemical potential of the adsorbent is independent of the amount of the adsorbed substance; in the second case, it varies with it. The works of Brunauer, which made a whole epoch in the theory of adsorption, belong to the first type of adsorption phenomena; adsorption in micropores, however, is beyond the framework of his investigations. It should be treated in terms of volume filling, and not of layer-by-layer coverage of the surface. In computational methods of the theory in hand, a substantial role is played by the concept of the temperature invariance of free energy of adsorption as a function of the degree of filling. An analysis of this concept is given and the limits of its applicability are assessed. Exact and approximate expressions for the calculation of the basic thermodynamic functions in adsorption in micropores have been obtained. A generalized thermal equation of adsorption, i.e., ψ(θ, p, T) = 0, applicable to the quantitative description of adsorption of molecules sharply differing in electronic structure on microporous adsorbents widely different in nature (active carbons, zeolites, etc.) is considered.

TL;DR: In this article, the specific features of the dislocation structure, occuring in the vicinity of indentations have been studied using Si single crystals under different conditions of deformation (at temperatures of 20 to 700 °C and loadings of 0.5 to 10 p).
Abstract: The specific features of the dislocation structure, occuring in the vicinity of indentations have been studied using Si single crystals under different conditions of deformation (at temperatures of 20 to 700 °C and loadings of 0.5 to 10 p). It is shown, that the deformation of crystals at temperatures of 350 to 650 °C results in twin formation with {111} twinning plane. Flat defects with {115} habit plane are revealed. They are shown to be platelets of a new phase, which is of the hexagonal structure with c = 6.31 A and a = 3.86 A. The possible mechanism of the phase transformation is discussed.

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical treatment of the fluctuation mechanism involved in the generation of picosecond laser pulses with saturable absorbers. The processes responsible for the shortening of the pulsewidth and for selection of the most intense pulse are treated. Some experimental results that confirmed the treatment are presented. The influence of inertia of saturable absorber and nonlinear losses (self-focusing and self-modulation) is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated submicrocracks, free radicals, and endgroups of scissioned molecules formed in polyethylene, polypropylene, and polycaprolactam under uniaxial tension.
Abstract: Submicrocracks, free radicals, and endgroups of scissioned molecules formed in polyethylene, polypropylene, and polycaprolactam under uniaxial tension have been investigated. Measurements were carried out by small-angle x-ray scattering, electron paramagnetic resonance, and infrared spectroscopy. The concentration of submicrocracks is almost the same as that of free radicals but is smaller than the concentration of scissioned macromolecules by approximately three orders of magnitude. The number of scissions per crack proved to be close to the number of macromolecules passing through the cross section of a submicrocrack calculated on the assumption of close packing. It is concluded that submicrocracks in stressed polymers are formed as a result of chain reactions of macromolecular decomposition initiated by the active end primary free radicals.

At sufficiently high filler concentration a structural skeleton seems to appear. This affects the properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a priori assumptions about the degree of smoothness of the probability density to be estimated were made and they were used to construct estimates of a probability density function itself and its derivatives which are distinguished by the high rate of decrease of the error in the estimate as the sample size increases.
Abstract: We investigate statistical estimates of a probability density distribution function and its derivatives. As the starting point of the investigation we take a priori assumptions about the degree of smoothness of the probability density to be estimated. By using these assumptions we can construct estimates of the probability density function itself and its derivatives which are distinguished by the high rate of decrease of the error in the estimate as the sample size increases.

TL;DR: Thirty-seven species of marine invertebrates from different systematic and ecological position were quantitatively tested for cellulase and chininase activity in their digestive systems, and Ascidia Halocyntia aurantium and Metridium senile fimbriatum were found to possess the highest chitin enzyme activity.
Abstract: 1. 1. Thirty-seven species of marine invertebrates from different systematic and ecological position were quantitatively tested for cellulase and chininase activity in their digestive systems. 2. 2. Enzymes were tested by several methods. Carboxymethlcellulase (CMC-ase) and carboxymethylchitinase (CMCh-ase) activities were estimated by the decrease in viscosity of these solutions and by the increase of the reducing sugars. Chitinase activity by precipitated chitin (PCh) was tested by the simultaneous measurement of the reducing sugar (RS) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAGA) in an incubation mixture and by chitin (Ch), using the last method only. 3. 3. Ascidia Halocyntia aurantium and Metridium senile fimbriatum were found to possess the highest chitinase activity; mollusca Littorina mandschurica and L. brevicula had the highest cellulase activity.
