    The sources of O.M. Kovalevsky's Mongolian-Russian-French Dictionary

    The written sources of the Mongolian-Russian-French Dictionary (Dictionnaire mongol-russe-français) compiled by O.M. Kovalevsky (Józef Kowalewski) and printed in Kazan in 1844–1849 were considered. The research is highly relevant, because O.M. Kovalevsky himself did not clearly indicated the above-mentioned sources, especially those written in Asian languages. The fate of the unpublished Mongolian-Russian dictionaries by A. Igumnov, V. Novoselov, and Archimandrite Peter (Kamensky), all used by O.M. Kovalevsky, was traced. The titles of the dictionaries in Asian languages used by O.M. Kovalevsky and having only abbreviated titles were identified. The translation of a long Tibetan title of the Tibetan-Mongolian Dictionary used by O.M. Kovalevsky was provided. This title contains the name of its author (Lobsang-Galsang) and the name of the Buryat monastery where it was compiled (the Egituiskiy Datsan Monastery). O.M. Kovalevsky’s unpublished diaries stored at the National Archives of the Republic of Tatarstan and containing valuable information about the activities of P.L. Schilling von Canstadt in Siberia were analyzed. On P.L. Schilling von Canstadt’s initiative, a dictionary of Buddhist terms in three languages was engraved and printed. It was concluded that O.M. Kovalevsky’s dictionary embodied the most advanced achievements of contemporary Mongol studies and is based on a large number of written sources and dictionaries, both European and Asian

    Genealogy in the System of Modern Knowledge: Theory and Methodology of Cognitive History of O.M. Medushevskaya

    No full text
    The author analyzes the place of genealogy as a unique indicator of humanitarian culture both in historical retrospect and modern society, since the subject of its study has traditionally been universal human values - family, kinship and relationships between different generations. The purpose of the article is to show the role of famous historian O.M. Medushevskaya and the significance of the theory and methodology of cognitive history developed by her for determining the place of genealogy in the system of modern knowledge. In the article, within the framework of this theory the place of genealogy in the system of modern knowledge is determined; the author gives a clear definition of the subject area of genealogy as a sphere of research, the possibility of interdisciplinary synthesis with a number of fundamental sciences, and formulates a program for the development of this field of knowledge in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that the approach developed by O.M. Medushevskaya transforms genealogy from an auxiliary and applied discipline into one of the central areas of humanitarian-historical knowledge, making it an information resource for studying the history of family and clan, economic history (movement of property), the socio-political structure of society (or the history of classes), culture and its individual representatives

    Probing the high latitude ionosphere from ground-based observations: The state of current knowledge and capabilities during IPY (2007-2009)

    During the International Polar Year (IPY), one area of great interest is co-coordinated, multi-instrument probing of the ionosphere at high latitudes. This region is important not only for the applications that rely upon our understanding of it, but also because it contains the footprints of processes that have their origin in the interplanetary space. Many different techniques are now available for probing the ionosphere, from radar measurements to the analysis of very low frequency (VLF) wave paths. Combining these methods provides the ability to study the ionosphere from high in the F-region to the bottom of the D-layer. Thus, coupling processes from the magnetosphere and to the neutral atmosphere can be considered. An additional dimension is through comparisons of the response of the two polar ionospheres to similar (or the same) geomagnetic activity. With more instruments available at the South Pole inter-hemispheric, studies have become easier to accomplish such that a fuller picture of the global response to Sun-Earth coupling can be painted. This paper presents a review of the current state of knowledge in ionospheric probing. It cannot provide a comprehensive guide of the work to date due to the scale of the topic. Rather it is intended to give an overview of the techniques and recent results from some of the instruments and facilities that are a part of the IPY cluster 63-Heliosphere Impact on Geospace. In this way it is hoped that the reader will gain a flavor of the recent research performed in this area and the potential for continuing collaboration and capabilities during the IP

    Search for long-range forces of a neutron and atoms with a trap of ultracold neutrons

    AbstractA method of using a gravitational UCN spectrometer to search for long-range forces between neutrons and atoms is proposed. The constraints on the strength of long range forces within the range of 10-10 -10-4cm can be obtained from the experiments on measurements of the total cross section of interaction of UCN with atoms of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, 86Kr) and the data on the coherent neutron scattering length of the nucleus. The first result of such an analysis is presented

    New experimental limits on neutron - mirror neutron oscillations in the presence of mirror magnetic field

    International audiencePresent experimental and astrophysical limits do not exclude that the neutron (n) oscillation into mirror neutron ( nn' ), a sterile state exactly degenerate in mass with the neutron, can be a very fast process, in fact faster than the neutron decay itself, in which case it would have very interesting implications in cosmology and astrophysics. This process is sensitive to the magnetic field. Namely, if the mirror magnetic field B\mathbf {B}' exists at the Earth, nnn{-}n' oscillation probability can be suppressed or resonantly amplified by the applied magnetic field B\mathbf {B} , depending on its strength and on the angle β\beta between B\mathbf {B} and B\mathbf {B}' . We present the results of ultra-cold neutron storage measurements aiming to check the anomalies observed in previous experiments which could be a signal for nnn{-}n' oscillation in the presence of mirror magnetic field B0.1B'\sim 0.1  G. From the analysis of the experimental data new lower limits on nnn{-}n' oscillation time as a function of BB' were obtained, assuming that the mirror magnetic field is constant in time: τnn>17\tau _{nn'} > 17  s (95 % C.L.) for any BB' between 0.08 and 0.17 G, and τnn/cosβ>27\tau _{nn'}/\sqrt{\cos \beta } > 27  s (95 % C.L.) for any BB' in the interval ( 0.06÷0.250.06\div 0.25 ) G
