We point out certain inconsistency in the foundations of the standard adiabatic method in quantum theory of molecules. As an alternative, we develop a particular approach that overcomes the appointed inconsistency. Based on this new approach, some interesting physical results come to the scope. First, we point out that the adiabatic method is substantially state-of-the-molecule dependent. E.g., the method distinguishes the denite conformations as a kind of the preferred states of a molecule. Second, the existence of the local minima for the eective potential for the nuclei system appears as a kind of a necessary condition for the validity of the adiabatic method. However, our approach does not fully answer

We review a compressive model for material inertia and the eect of gravitation which follows naturally from it. We show that this model is consistent with the relativity principle, and suggest how a slight departure in the observed advance of the perihelion of the orbit of Mercury could put an upper limit on the Laplace screening parameter h.

It is shown that the nuclear reaction of fusion in cold hydrogen is possible due to formation of metastable atoms of dineutroneum existing as a bound state of two neutrons and one neutrino. Such atoms can appear in a reaction of deuterons with free or quasi-free electrons. The estimation of mass, size and lifetime of dineutroneum atom is fulfilled.

It is claimed that turbulence in uids is inherently coherent phenomenon. The coherence shows up clearly as strongly correlated helicity uctuations of opposite sign. The helicity uctuations have cellular structure forming clusters that are actually observed as vorticity bands and coherent structures in laboratory turbulence, direct numerical simulations and most obviously in atmospheric turbulence. The clusters are named BCC - Beltrami Cellular Clusters - because of the observed nearly total alignment of the velocity and vorticity elds in each particular cell, and hence nearly maximal possible helicity in each cell; although when averaged over all the cells the residual mean helicity in general is small and does not play active dynamical role. The Beltrami like uctuations are short-lived and stabilize only in small and generally contiguous sub-domains that are tending to a (multi)fractal in the asymptotic limit of large Reynolds numbers, Re!1. For the model of homogeneous isotropic turbulence the theory predicts the leading fractal dimension of BCC to be: DF = 2:5: This

According to the classical special theory of relativity any nonstationary system moving with velocityv must evolve (e.g., decay) 1/ times slower than the system at rest, = (1 v 2 ) 1/2 (the Einstein retardation ER). Quantum mechanics allows one to calculate the evolution of both systems separately and to compare them thus verifying ER. It is shown here that ER is not valid for a simple system: the spreading packet of the free spinless particle. Earlier it was shown that ER does not hold for some other systems. So one may state that ER is not a universal kinematic law in quantum mechanics.
根据经典狭义相对论,任何以速度v运动的非平稳系统的演化(例如,衰变)必须比静止系统慢1/ 1倍,= (1 v 2) 1/2(爱因斯坦延迟ER)。量子力学允许人们分别计算两个系统的演化,并对它们进行比较,从而验证ER。本文表明,对于一个简单的系统,即自由无自旋粒子的扩散包,ER是不成立的。前面已经表明,ER不适用于其他一些系统。所以有人可能会说,ER不是量子力学中普遍的运动定律。

A novel model of biological organisms is advanced, treating an organism as a self-consistent system subject to a pathogen flux. The principal novelty of the model is that it describes not some parts, but a biological organism as a whole. The organism is modeled by a five-dimensional dynamical system. The organism homeostasis is described by the evolution equations for five interacting components: healthy cells, ill cells, innate immune cells, specific immune cells, and pathogens. The stability analysis demonstrates that, in a wide domain of the parameter space, the system exhibits robust structural stability. There always exist four stable stationary solutions characterizing four qualitatively differing states of the organism: alive state, boundary state, critical state, and dead state.

The moving light clock system was analyzed with respect to the orientation of the wavefront of the light pulse observed in the moving and stationary frames of reference. The plane wavefront of the light pulse was oriented horizontally in both the frames. The wavefront observed in the stationary frame was not perpendicular to the direction of the light pulse propagation. This showed different characteristics of the light pulse than that assumed in the Lorentz factor derivation. According to the horizontal orientation of the wavefront, velocity c was determined as the vertical component of the light pulse motion observed in the stationary frame. Application of this velocity distribution in the Lorentz factor derivation showed the same travel time for the light pulse observed in the moving and stationary frames of reference. The moving light clock system was therefore found to be unsuitable for the Lorentz factor derivation and illustration of time dilation, and shown to illustrate the relativity of the observation of light rather than the relativity of time.

A problem of possible existence of the “islands of stability” in the region of very heavy (superheavy) elements has long been the subject of intensive discussions. The interest in this problem is linked with determining the limit of nuclear mass existence, predicted by calculation on the basis of various theoretical models. One important consequence of these calculations [1-8] was the disclosure of a significant gap in the spectrum of low lying levels in the region of deformed nuclei around N = 162 (deformed shell) and hypothetical superheavy nuclei, viz. a new (following N = 126) closed spherical neutron shell N = 184. It was also shown that the considerable variations of the binding energy of spherical nuclei were due to the nuclear shells, and that shell effects might be present also in deformed “magic nuclei” (deformed shells). And finally, at further and quite significant increase of the deformation

A descriptive account is given of the “Fusion by Diffusion” theory of nucleus-nucleus amalgamation. The stress is on explaining the physical elements that go into a theory that provides a general conceptual framework for describing nucleus-nucleus fusion, but whose detailed implementation is subject to some flexibility. Despite notable successes, the theory is in need of improvements both as regards the inclusion of important physical refinements and the optimal choice of its adjustable parameter(s).
