Робота является комплексным научным исследованием проблем надзорной деятельности транспортной прокуратуры Украины. Отмечается, что в условиях переходного периода и уровня правопорядка в стране продолжает существовать необходимость в существовании прокурорского надзора за соблюдением и применением законов. Это, в частности, касается и транспортных отраслей, учитывая их социальную и государственную значимость. Задачами прокурорского надзора на транспорте является защита прав и свобод человека и гражданина правоотношениях, связанных с деятельностью транспорта, интересов государства и общества по обеспечению бесперебойного функционирования транспорта, противодействие преступным посягательством в сфере транспорта. Обосновывается закрепление правового статуса транспортных прокуратур непосредственно в Законе Украины «О прокуратуре», необходимость совершенствования структуры указанных прокуратур путем создания органов транспортной прокуратуры на правах областных. Подробно рассмотрены задачи и предмет прокурорского надзора за соблюдением и применением законов на транспорте (бывшего общего надзора): особенности надзора за законностью правовых актов, за соблюдением законов, направленных на обеспечение сохранности грузов, соблюдения правил эксплуатации транспортных средств и предотвращения аварийности. Детально проанализированы полномочия прокурора, используемые им при осуществлении надзора с учётом специфики функционирования транспорта. В частности, предлагается ограничить законодательном порядке использование прокурором предписаний об устранении нарушений закона исключительно необходимостью предотвращения аварий и катастроф с тяжелыми последствиями. В тоже время, высказано мнение о том, чтобы по примеру России следует предусмотреть в Законе Украины «О прокуратуре» вынесение прокурорами предписаний о недопустимости нарушений закона. Надзорная деятельность прокурора в сфере противодействия преступления на транспорте освещена в работе применительно к надзору за соблюдением законов при расследовании хищений перевозимых грузов, денег и имущества пассажиров, а также нарушений правил эксплуатации транспортных средств, повлекших тяжелые последствия. Выделена роль транспортного прокурора как лица, не только осуществляющего надзор, но и непосредственно участвующего в расследовании этих преступлений. В работе высказаны предложения по совершению надзорной деятельности транспортных прокуроров.The thesis for a Candidate of Legal Sciences Degree on Speciality 12.00.10 – Judicature; Prosecution and Advocacy. – National University “Odessa Law Academy”, Odessa, 2011.

Blue horizontal branch stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: II. Kinematics of the Galactic halo

We carry out a maximum-likelihood kinematic analysis of a sample of 1170 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey presented in Sirko et al. (2003) (Paper I). Monte Carlo simulations and resampling show that the results are robust to distance and velocity errors at least as large as the estimated errors from Paper I. The best-fit velocities of the Sun (circular) and halo (rotational) are 245.9 +/- 13.5 km/s and 23.8 +/- 20.1 km/s but are strongly covariant, so that v_0 - v_halo = 222.1 +/- 7.7 km/s. If one adopts standard values for the local standard of rest and solar motion, then the halo scarcely rotates. The velocity ellipsoid inferred for our sample is much more isotropic [(sigma_r,sigma_theta,sigma_phi) = (101.4 +/- 2.8, 97.7 +/- 16.4, 107.4 +/- 16.6) km/s] than that of halo stars in the solar neighborhood, in agreement with a recent study of the distant halo by Sommer-Larsen et al. (1997). The line-of-sight velocity distribution of the entire sample, corrected for the Sun's motion, is accurately gaussian with a dispersion of 101.6 +/- 3.0 km/s.Comment: 23 pages including 4 figures, 1 color; submitted to A

Explicitly solvable cases of one-dimensional quantum chaos

We identify a set of quantum graphs with unique and precisely defined spectral properties called {\it regular quantum graphs}. Although chaotic in their classical limit with positive topological entropy, regular quantum graphs are explicitly solvable. The proof is constructive: we present exact periodic orbit expansions for individual energy levels, thus obtaining an analytical solution for the spectrum of regular quantum graphs that is complete, explicit and exact

Experimental and numerical investigation of the reflection coefficient and the distributions of Wigner's reaction matrix for irregular graphs with absorption

We present the results of experimental and numerical study of the distribution of the reflection coefficient P(R) and the distributions of the imaginary P(v) and the real P(u) parts of the Wigner's reaction K matrix for irregular fully connected hexagon networks (graphs) in the presence of strong absorption. In the experiment we used microwave networks, which were built of coaxial cables and attenuators connected by joints. In the numerical calculations experimental networks were described by quantum fully connected hexagon graphs. The presence of absorption introduced by attenuators was modelled by optical potentials. The distribution of the reflection coefficient P(R) and the distributions of the reaction K matrix were obtained from the measurements and numerical calculations of the scattering matrix S of the networks and graphs, respectively. We show that the experimental and numerical results are in good agreement with the exact analytic ones obtained within the framework of random matrix theory (RMT).Comment: 15 pages, 8 figure

Distant field BHB stars and the mass of the Galaxy II: Photometry and spectroscopy of UKST candidates 16<B<19.5, 11<R<52 kpc

This is the second in a series of papers presenting a new calculation of the mass of the Galaxy based on radial velocities and distances for a sample of faint 16 < B < 21.3 field blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars. We present accurate BV CCD photometry and spectra for 142 candidate A-type stars selected from ub_jr photometry of UK Schmidt telescope plates in six high-Galactic-latitude fields. Classification of these candidates produces a sample of 60 BHB stars at distances of 11-52 kpc from the Sun (mean 28 kpc), with heliocentric line-of-sight velocities accurate to 15 km/s, and distance errors < 10%. We provide a summary table listing coordinates and velocities of these stars. The measured dispersion of the radial component of the Galactocentric velocity for this sample is 108+-10 km/s, in agreement with a recent study of the distant halo by Sirko and coworkers. Measurements of the Ca II K line indicate that nearly all the stars are metal-poor with a mean [Fe/H] = -1.8 with dispersion 0.5. Subsequent papers will describe a second survey of BHBs to heliocentric distances 70 < R < 125 kpc and present a new estimate of the mass of the Galaxy.Comment: 16 pages, 15 figures.

Quantum fingerprints of classical Ruelle-Pollicot resonances

N-disk microwave billiards, which are representative of open quantum systems, are studied experimentally. The transmission spectrum yields the quantum resonances which are consistent with semiclassical calculations. The spectral autocorrelation of the quantum spectrum is shown to be determined by the classical Ruelle-Pollicot resonances, arising from the complex eigenvalues of the Perron-Frobenius operator. This work establishes a fundamental connection between quantum and classical correlations in open systems.Comment: 6 pages, 2 eps figures included, submitted to PR

Characterization of mAb6-9-1 monoclonal antibody against hemagglutinin of avian influenza virus H5N1 and its engineered derivative, single-chain variable fragment antibody

Hemagglutinin (HA), as a major surface antigen of influenza virus, is widely used as a target for production of neutralizing antibodies. Monoclonal antibody, mAb6-9-1, directed against HA of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A/swan/Poland/305-135V08/2006(H5N1) was purified from mouse hybridoma cells culture and characterized. The antigenic specificity of mAb6-9-1 was verified by testing its cross-reactivity with several variants of HA. The mimotopes recognized by mAb6-9-1 were selected from two types of phage display peptide libraries. The comparative structural model of the HA variant used for antibody generation was developed to further facilitate epitope mapping. Based on the sequences of the affinity- selected polypeptides and the structural model of HA the epitope was located to the region near the receptor binding site (RBS). Such localization of the epitope recognized by mAb6-9-1 is in concordance with its moderate hemagglutination inhibiting activity and its antigenic specificity. Additionally, total RNA isolated from the hybridoma cell line secreting mAb6-9-1 was used for obtaining two variants of cDNA encoding recombinant single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody. To ensure high production level and solubility in bacterial expression system, the scFv fragments were produced as chimeric proteins in fusion with thioredoxin or displayed on a phage surface after cloning into the phagemid vector. Specificity and affinity of the recombinant soluble and phage-bound scFv were assayed by suitable variants of ELISA test. The observed differences in specificity were discussed

One-dimensional quantum chaos: Explicitly solvable cases

We present quantum graphs with remarkably regular spectral characteristics. We call them {\it regular quantum graphs}. Although regular quantum graphs are strongly chaotic in the classical limit, their quantum spectra are explicitly solvable in terms of periodic orbits. We present analytical solutions for the spectrum of regular quantum graphs in the form of explicit and exact periodic orbit expansions for each individual energy level.Comment: 9 pages and 4 figure

Spectra of regular quantum graphs

We consider a class of simple quasi one-dimensional classically non-integrable systems which capture the essence of the periodic orbit structure of general hyperbolic nonintegrable dynamical systems. Their behavior is simple enough to allow a detailed investigation of both classical and quantum regimes. Despite their classical chaoticity, these systems exhibit a ``nonintegrable analog'' of the Einstein-Brillouin-Keller quantization formula which provides their spectra explicitly, state by state, by means of convergent periodic orbit expansions.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figure

From chaos to disorder: Statistics of the eigenfunctions of microwave cavities

We study the statistics of the experimental eigenfunctions of chaotic and disordered microwave billiards in terms of the moments of their spatial distributions, such as the Inverse Participation Ratio (IPR) and density-density auto-correlation. A path from chaos to disorder is described in terms of increasing IPR. In the chaotic, ballistic limit, the data correspond well with universal results from random matrix theory. Deviations from universal distributions are observed due to disorder induced localization, and for the weakly disordered case the data are well-described by including finite conductance and mean free path contributions in the framework of nonlinear sigma models of supersymetry.Comment: 5 pages + 2 JPG figure
