A charge of the erythrocyte test by automated method

New methods of an automated evaluation of the blood rheological parameters: 1) the viscosity, 2) electric conductivity and 3) the charge of erythrocytes have been theoretically and experimentally substantiated by way of registering the Q-factor of the tuned-circuit, containing a capillary with the blood flow. A design of an electronic measuring complex is based on modeling the physical blood conditions in the natural environment.

The study of the interactions between graphene and Ge（001）/Si（001）

The interaction between graphene and germanium surfaces was investigated using a combination of microscopic and macroscopic experimental techniques and complementary theoretical calculations.Density functional theory （DFT） calculations for different reconstructions of the Ge（001） surface showed that the interactions between graphene and the Ge（001） surface introduce additional peaks in the density of states,superimposed on the graphene valence and conduction energy bands.The growth of graphene induces nanofaceting of the Ge（001） surface,which exhibits well-organized hill and valley structures.The graphene regions covered by hills are of high quality and exhibit an almost linear dispersion relation,which indicates weak graphene-germanium interactions.On the other hand,the graphene component occupying valley regions is significantly perturbed by the interaction with germanium.It was also found that the stronger graphene-germanium interaction observed in the valley regions is connected with a lower local electrical conductivity.Annealing of graphene/Ge（001）/Si（001） was performed to obtain a more uniform surface.This process results in a surface characterized by negligible hill and valley structures;however,the graphene properties unexpectedly deteriorated with increasing uniformity of the Ge（001） surface.To sum up,it was shown that the mechanism responsible for the formation of local conductivity inhomogeneities in graphene covering the Ge（001） surface is related to the different strength of graphene-germanium interactions.The present results indicate that,in order to obtain high-quality graphene,the experimental efforts should focus on limiting the interactions between germanium and graphene,which can be achieved by adjusting the growth conditions.

Memory effects in scattering from accelerating bodies

Interaction of electromagnetic,acoustic,and even gravitational waves with accelerating bodies forms a class of nonstationary time-variant processes.Scattered waves contain intrinsic signatures of motion,which manifest in a broad range of phenomena,including Sagnac interference,and both Doppler and micro-Doppler frequency shifts.Although general relativity is often required to account for motion,instantaneous rest frame approaches are frequently used to describe interactions with slowly accelerating objects.We investigate theoretically and experimentally an interaction regime that is neither relativistic nor adiabatic.The test model considers an accelerating scatterer with a long-lasting relaxation memory.The slow decay rates violate the instantaneous reaction assumption of quasistationarity,introducing nonMarkovian contributions to the scattering process.Memory signatures in scattering from a rotating dipole are studied theoretically,showing symmetry breaking of micro-Doppler combs.A quasistationary numeric analysis of scattering in the short-memory limit is proposed and validated experimentally with an example of electromagnetic pulses interacting with a rotating wire.
