Polarographically active fraction of alpha 1-unstable glycoprotein in the blood serum during the malignant process

The simple method of polarographical testing of the peripheral blood serum is recommended as a part of the complex cancer diagnosis for the evaluation of the effectivity of cancer treatment and for the mass preventive examination. This method modified by I. A. Pelishenko (POISK-test) has permitted detecting a protein substance in the serum of cancer patients as well as in the serum both of the rats bearing Pliss sarcoma and in the serum of the irradiated dogs. It was proved that this protein indicates the presence of malignancy and represents polarographically active fraction of the alpha 1-unstable glycoprotein. This substance was designated as "Informative Pelishenko Protein" (IPP), and may be revealed by the polarographic indicator (IPM-01) made in Leningrad.     

An approximate analysis of the effect of micro fractures on the caustic of a dynamically moving crack tip

The optical recording of the conditions at the tips of dynamically moving cracks is often associated with a wave pattern which arises from what we call here radial waves. This observation is prevalent for tough solids, especially when the observation tools involve surface deformations such as the caustic method. These waves can modify the caustic shape and size and thus influence the interpretation of measurements. The quantification of the sources of these waves poses a very difficult problem so that a precise evaluation of that phenomenon is not yet possible. However, in an attempt to better understand the limitation imposed on the method of caustics by this set of waves this paper analyzes primarily the change of shape in the caustic associated with the passage of radial waves over the region of the initial curve of the caustic. The analysis is approximate in that the radial waves are assumed to be insensitive to the presence of the crack surfaces, but otherwise accounts for the three dimensional character of wave propagation in a plate of finite thickness.

Résumé On associe souvent l'enregistrement optique des conditions présentes à l'extrémité de fissures en cours de propagation spectaculaire, à une disposition ondulée, due à ce que l'on dénomme ici des ondes radiales. L'observation vaut surtout pour les corps à haute ténacité, et en particulier lorsque les méthodes d'observation tiennent compte des déformations de surface, comme la méthode des caustiques. Les ondes radiales peuvent altérer la forme et la dimension d'une caustique, et, de ce fait, influencer l'interprétation des mesures. Une évaluation précise de ce phénomène n'est pas encore possible, car la quantification des sources de ces ondes pose un problème trés délicat. Néanmoins, en vue de mieux comprendre les limites qu'impose à la méthode des caustiques la formation de ces ondes, on a analysé essentiellement le changement de forme de la caustique lorsque se développent des ondes radiales sur la région couverte par la courbe originale de la caustique. On procède à une approximation dans la mesure où on suppose que les ondes radiales sont insensibles à la présence des surfaces de la fissure, mais prennent par ailleurs en considération le caractère tridimensionnel de la propagation d'une fissure dans une plaque d'épaisseur finie.

     

Fourier Transform Spectrometer for the 1 to 10mm region

A Fourier Transform Spectrometer using a 250 Watt Mercury lamp, a lamellar grating and a pumped He-cooled detector is applied to the millimeter wave spectral region. The pure rotation spectrum of CH₂F, the transmission of graphite particles in a cloud chamber, the interference on round copper dots and the absorption of iron whiskers have been observed.     

Effects of the preparation Undevit on the indicators of vitamin provision of Norilsk's schoolchildren]

The effect of the prophylactic use of multivitamin "Undevitum" on parameters of vitamin providing of schoolchildren in Norilsk was studied. The results of the investigation showed a positive effect of the prophylactic vitamin administration on providing with vitamins of schoolchildren in Norilsk and proved the necessity of conducting mass vitamin administration to schoolchildren.

Optical properties of O2 − centres in KCl∶NaCl mixed crystals

The optical properties of O₂ ^– centres in KClNaCl mixed crystals were investigated. The timeresolved spectra and the fluorescence decay time are shown. From the measurements of the radiative decay time, the oscillator strength of the absorption,f _ab=0.045, the oscillator strength of the fluorescence,f _fluo=0.019, and the activation energy E=0.22 eV for the O₂ ^– centre in KClNaCl were determined.
