The focal-plane detector system for the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment consists of a multi-pixel silicon p-i-n-diode array, custom readout electronics, two superconducting solenoid ...magnets, an ultra high-vacuum system, a high-vacuum system, calibration and monitoring devices, a scintillating veto, and a custom data-acquisition system. It is designed to detect the low-energy electrons selected by the KATRIN main spectrometer. We describe the system and summarize its performance after its final installation.
Alimentary instrumental conditioned reflex (CR) was elaborated in dogs to light flashes (I series), electrostimulation (ES) of the hippocampus (II series) and the hypothalamus (III series). ...Nonreinforced ES of the hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus and septum reproduced pressings on the pedal to the least extent in the I series (17-40% of trials), increasing in the II-nd one up to 40-87% during stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus, medial amygdala and contralateral hippocampus. In the III-rd series the number of pressings increased statistically significantly in comparison with the I-st series for most structures. Probably, besides the artificial increase of motivation during ES of the limbic structures which took place in all series, in the II-nd and III-rd series significance for movement reproduction was acquired by CR generalization appearing due to close interconnection of the structures. In this phenomenon connections (evaluated by the EPs) from the tested structures to the initially signal one are important.
Astron.Nachr. 325 (2004) 580-582 We present the first russian robot-telescope designed to make prompt
observations of gamma-ray bursts (http://observ.pereplet.ru). The telescopes
are near Moscow. The ...system of telescopes with prompt pointing rates connects
to the internet. The main parameters are the following: Richter-Slefogt system
telescope (355 mm, f/d=2.4); Richter-Slefogt system telescope (200mm, f/d=2.4);
Flugge system telescope (280mm, f/d=2.5); TV-camera with 20x40 degree
objective; Two CCD cameras (Pictor 416); One CCD Apogee Camera AP16E. The type
of mount is German with 8 grad/sec slew rate. MASTER images stars down to 19
magnitude in a 1 min exposure covering 6 square degrees.
