Mathematical problems arising in the development of an "ecological policeman"
N.A. Tikhonov, M.K. Trubetskov, G.N. Medvedev
Based on numerical techniques, the potentialities of an integral-sorption method for monitoring the presence of contaminants in waste water are studied using an instrument called an "ecological policeman". The simplest linear model of the process and an ion-exchange sorption model that makes it possible to study the sorption dynamics in conditions close to the actual ones, where the dissolved components undergo sorption not independently, but while affecting one another, are considered.

The Dirichlet-Neumann problem for the Helmholtz equation outside cuts in a plane
P.A. Krutitskii, К.V. Prozorov
For the Helmholtz equation outside cuts in a plane a boundary-value problem is studied. The Dirichlet condition is specified on one side of each cut and the Neumann condition, on its other side. The existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution of the boundary-value problem are proved. An integral representation for the solution is obtained in the form of potentials. From a uniquely solvable system of integral equations, the density in the potentials is determined.

Dynamics of the spin of a charged particle with anomalous magnetic moment in an arbitrary constant electric field is investigated. The fields, where a solution of the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation can be represented in a complete form, are found. Rotation of a particle spin in scattering in the Coulomb field is studied.

Studies of the distribution of the arrival times of extensive air showers from the data obtained with the eas msu setup using nonlinear analysis techniques
M.Yu. Zotov, G.V. Kulikov, Yu.A. Fomin
The results of nonlinear analysis of the times of registration of extensive air showers (EAS), obtained with the "Prototype EAS-1000" unit operating as part of the EAS MSU setup are presented. In particular, EAS clusters and also sets of showers showing signs of chaotic dynamics are detected. Possible mechanisms responsible for the emergence of these phenomena are discussed.

Effect of the longitudinal magnetic field on the radial electric field in a low-pressure discharge
R.Z. Shaikhitdinov, V.M. Shibkov
The measurement results of the radial behavior of the plasma potential of a low-pressure discharge in a cylindrical dielectric tube placed in a longitudinal magnetic field are presented. It is demonstrated that for the correct measurement of the radial electric field from the probe floating potential difference account should be taken of the plasma potential displacement caused by the inhomogeneous radial distribution of the electron concentration.

Variation of the domain-wall relaxation frequency in an amorphous ferromagnet under adsorption of methanol molecules
V.E. Zubov, A.D. Kudakov, N.L. Levshin, T.S. Fedulova
Using a magnetooptical method, a reversible decrease in the relaxation frequency of a domain wall on the surface of an amorphous soft ferromagnet during adsorption of methanol molecules was observed. The detected effect is explained by the appearance of magnetic defects that form in the adsorption of methanol molecules on the ferromagnet's surface, a process in which hydrogen bonds are formed. The results of this research and the earlier data on the effect of reversible adsorption of water molecules on the dynamics of the domain walls in ferromagnets are compared.

Model of shear layer interaction and description of mass exchange in a density flow
В.I. Samolyubov, A.V. Shil'nev
The results of experimental and theoretical studies into the vertical heat and suspended matter transfer in a near-bottom stratified flow are presented. To calculate the distributions of water temperature and suspended particle concentration over the entire flow depth, a mathematical model verified against in-situ measurement data is suggested. The model is constructed on the basis of the hypothesis of interaction between the shear layers (the near-bottom layer and the mixing layer). The method developed is suitable for the theoretical description of the profiles of water temperature and suspended matter concentration differing in local curvature, as well as quasistepped profiles and those containing suspended matter concentration maxima. Time variations of the profiles are calculated under nonsteady-state boundary conditions. The effects of the density flow stratification and the suspended matter activity on the vertical mass exchange in the shear layers and in the flow core are taken into account.

The conditions for the ferromagnetic state of the chromomagnetic vacuum to exist are considered. It is shown that tachyonic modes can condense into a spatially uniform state if the length of the chromomagnetic field is limited. The problem of the phase transition between the ferromagnetic and superconducting states is considered.

Effect of ultralow-frequency commutation of radiation direction in solid-state ring lasers in self-modulation modes of the second kind
A.N. Shelaev
It has been established both experimentally and theoretically that in YAG:Nd$^{3+}$ solid-state ring lasers (SRLs) with strong competition and nonlinear coupling of counter-running waves (CRW) there exists, due to CRW self-diffraction on induced inverted-population gratings, an unusual (for laser physics) effect of ultralow-frequency instability in both uni- and bidirectional lasing when the radiation-direction commutation frequency is lower than the lowest-frequency SRL parameter, the rate of inverted-population relaxation $1/T_1$, by a factor of $10^5$ or more (commutation period Tc longer than $T_k>10^2$ s).

Investigation of dissipation in the torsion modes of thin fused silica fibers
I.A. Bilenko, S.L. Lourie
In highly sensitive experiments with test masses, the use of thin quartz fibers with small intrinsic losses as suspensions is planned. The results of measurements of losses in fibers with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 19 pm are presented. The results obtained suggest that the contribution of surface losses increases as the diameter decreases.
