Struct. 348, 269 (1995)Author Institution: Department of Physics, Kiev Taras Shevchenko's UniversityThe systematic investigations of the connection of polymorphism spectral developments with thermal pre-history of nematic liquid crystal (LC) have been performed. Regularities connecting parameters of Raman bands with structural peculiarities of MBBA in different phases obtained at various rates of preliminary cooling of sample have been found [1,2]. Using these connections the conformational angles, energetic barriers between different conformers, order of nonarrangement of various phases, quantitative phase composition have been calculated. It has been made the analysis of forming mechanisms of Raman bands contours with using of theory of Raman effect in condensed phase. In spite of the difference of heterogeneous broadening nature for nematics and amorphous phases the proximity of Raman bands widths for these phases is stipulated one of parameters of corresponding averaging statistic distributions. The method of identification and prognostic of structural evolution of phase states for wide class of LC have been proposed

Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, Department of pathological physiology, Lviv, Ukraine; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6232-3951 Abstract In general, the modern literature pays attention to the issues of spine pathology and intervertebral discs. A significant percentage of vertebral disorders - scoliosis, osteochondrosis, spinal disc herniation, etc., occur as a result of exposure to various factors and manifest in changes of the intervertebral discs. The aim of our work was to study at the ultrastructural level the features of pathomorphological manifestations in the structural components of the intervertebral disc at the end of the seventh and fourteenth days of experimental opioid exposure. Materials and methods of research. The objects of the study were 32 sexually mature, white, male rats, weighing 92 - 103 g, aged 4.5 months. Animals were injected with nalbupine intramuscularly once daily (at 10-11 a.m.) for 14 days. The initial dose of nalbuphine was 8 mg/kg during the first week, 15 mg/kg during the second week. It created the conditions of chronic opioid exposure. Before sampling, the animals were withdrawn from the experiment using dibutyl ether. Intervertebral discs of rats were used as a material for ultrastructural study. Ultrastructural specimens were prepared according to the accepted methods. The results of the study. As a result of the sampling after 7 days of opioid exposure we found inhomogeneous osmiophilicity and compaction of the nucleus pulposus matrix in which intensively accumulated osmiophilic grains of glycogen proteoglycans, increased the number of collagen fibers, some of them were heterogeneous. It was also noted the development of moderate degenerative changes in some notochondral cells, which was accompanied by increased vacuolization of the cytoplasm by inhomogeneous compaction of the nucleus and an increase of heterochromatin there. After 14 days necrotic changes in the cells of the nucleus pulposus, as well as the destruction of collagen fibers of the annulus fibrosus were found. In particular, an increase in the amount of heterochromatin in the nucleui of notochondral cells, which was accompanied by a decrease in the volume of the nucleui and inhomogeneous swelling of the cytoplasm. Active fibroblasts were often visualized in the annulus fibrosus. Intense osmiophilicity and thickening of collagen fibers of the annulus fibrosus were observed in some areas of the fibrous ring. Focal destruction of collagen fibers was also noted. In the areas of destruction the fibrils of collagen fibers disintegrated into an inhomogeneous fine-grained stratified mass and were located loosely. Conclusions. At the end of the first week we found that the cytoplasmic processes of chondrocytes decreased in volume, shortened, underwent fragmentation and destruction, some of them detached from the surface of the plasmolemma. At the end of the second week signs of opioid exposure progressed and manifested by an increase in the destruction of cytoplasmic processes in chondrocytes. Also focal destruction of collagen fibers was noted. Keywords: opioid; intervertebral disc; rat; seventh and fourteenth day

    The Image of Witte in Early Soviet Historiography: Tarle vs Romanov (on Ye. V. Tarle’s 150th Birthday)

    Get PDF
    The article was submitted on 28.12.2024.Выход в свет воспоминаний графа С. Ю. Витте в год десятилетия свержения монархии в России вызвал всплеск интереса к этим событиям и фигурам прошлого в советской России. Е. В. Тарле оказался первым, кто подготовил небольшую книжку, посвященную дипломатической деятельности Витте. Несмотря на то, что автор опирался в основном на мемуары своего героя и использовал небольшое количество источников, он сумел дать объективный красочный портрет графа на фоне общей дипломатической истории Европы начала ХХ в., преимущественно русско-германских отношений. Однако в «виттеведении» пальма первенства признается, как правило, за другим историком – Б. А. Романовым, который даже раньше, чем Тарле, начал готовить обстоятельные документальные комментарии к воспоминаниям Витте. По мнению автора, забвение книжки Тарле, написанной в расчете на массового читателя, а не на специалиста, как работы Романова, несправедливо: академик продемонстрировал в ней не только тонкое понимание им эпохи, но и первым представил личностную характеристику крупнейшего политического деятеля Российский империи конца XIX – начала ХХ в.The publication of the memoirs of Count S. Yu. Witte and the tenth anniversary of the overthrow of the monarchy in Russia caused a surge of interest in these events and in the figures of the past in Soviet Russia. Ye. V. Tarle was the first to prepare a small book dedicated to Witte’s diplomatic activity. Despite relying primarily on the memoirs of his character and utilising only a limited number of sources, the author successfully presented an objective and colourful portrait of the count. This portrait was set against the broader context of the diplomatic history of Europe in the early twentieth century, with a particular focus on Russian-German relations. However, in “Witte studies”, B. A. Romanov is usually regarded as a pioneer who began to prepare detailed documentary commentaries on Witte’s memoirs even earlier than Tarle. It appears that the lack of recognition for Tarle’s book, which was intended for a general audience and not for experts like Romanov’s texts, is unjust. The academician demonstrated not only his nuanced understanding of the era but also broke new ground by presenting a personal profile of the most prominent political figure of the Russian Empire of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries

    Nitrogen Dioxide Gas Sensor Based on Monolayer SnS: A First-Principle Study

    No full text
    The sensing behavior of monolayer tin sulfide (SnS) for four gas molecules (NH3, NO2, CO, and H2O) are studied by the first-principle calculation based on density-functional theory. We calculate adsorption energy, adsorption distance, and Hirshfeld charge to estimate the adsorption ability of monolayer SnS for these gas molecules. The results demonstrate that all the gas molecules show physisorption nature. We further calculate the current-voltage (I -V ) curves using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism for evaluating the NO2 gas sensing properties. The monolayer SnS is found to be strongly sensitive to NO2 molecule dependent on moderate adsorption energy, excellent charge transfer, and significant change of I -V property before and after gas adsorption. Therefore, we suggest that monolayer SnS can be a prominent candidate for application as NO2 gas sensor.Accepted author manuscriptElectronic Components, Technology and Material
