    Abstract: V. V. Uchaikin suggested a mathematical model of an anomalous diffusion in a space. These model origins in an investigation of processes in complex systems with variable structure: glasses, liquid crystals, biopolymers, proteins and a turbulence in a plasma. Here a coordinate of diffusing particle has stable distribution and so its density satisfie... Show More

    Abstract: Recently the spectacular result was derived quantum mechanically that the total angular momentum of photons in light beams with finite lateral extensions can have half-integer quantum numbers. In a circularly polarized Gauss light beam it is half of the spin angular momentum which it would have in a respective infinitely extended wave. In another p... Show More

    Abstract: An equation that describes the wave propagation in the disturbed medium was deduced from the Lighthill’s equation. The so-called perturbation-cumulative approximation was suggested to solve this equation and the period-doubling bifurcation solutions were given. The results obtained in this paper helps to provide insights to the mechanism of the tur... Show More

    Abstract: Phenomenology of nonequilibrium thermodynamics based on independent thermodynamic forces with kinetic coefficients independent of the applied forces. Whereas the traditional thermoelectric phenomenology is based on the experimentally measured material parameters of the medium. At the same time, their historically emerging definitions have neither m... Show More

    Abstract: For domestic energy – fuel sources biomass such as wood, animal dung and agricultural waste that are normally burned in traditional stove is used by the developing world. Diverse biomass resource is found in Ethiopia which can be used for energy through pyrolysis cook stove co-producing biochar. Specifically, coffee husks are the major solid residu... Show More
