We report here the detection of two new ULXs viz. CXOUJ111306.0-264825 (X-1) and CXOUJ111325.3-264732 (X-2) with their bolometric luminosity > 1039erg s−1 in its various Chandra observations. X-1 was found to be a spectrally hard ULX in both the epochs where it was detected. However in the ULX, X-2, a slight hardening of the spectra was observed within a period of 17 years. Assuming isotropic emission and explained by disk blackbody model, the spectrally softer epoch of X-2 with an inner disk temperature, kTin ∼ 0.79 keV and bolometric luminosity ∼ 2.51 × 1039erg s−1 implies for X-2 to be powered by a compact object, necessarily a black hole of mass, MBH ∼ 44.85+82.11−25.92M⊙ accreting at ∼ 0.42 times the Eddington limit. The Lightcurve of X-1 and X-2 binned at 500s, 1ks, 2ks and 4ks has shown no signature of short-term variability in both the ULXs in kilo-seconds time scales. Overall, both the detected ULXs seem to be almost static sources both in long-term (years) as well as short-term (kilo-seconds) time scales with the presently available Chandra Observations.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For all these electronic transitions, analytical expressions of the partial absorption spectra are obtained from two different types of the Kubo-Greenwood formula.

Secondly, obtaining HS Fe/SiO2/p-Si and Fe/SiO2/n-Si. Based on the results, it is shown that sufficiently good HS has been obtained. Experiments on the study of LPE have shown that in the studied HS there is a pronounced manifestation of the lateral photoelectric effect, the magnitude and nature of which strongly depend on the type of conductivity and resistivity of the compensated silicon. The observed features are explained by the fact that in С, HC, and OC silicon samples, impurities that create deep levels in the silicon band gap form various multi-charged complexes that modulate the energy band of silicon, which lead to significant changes in its physicochemical and generation-recombination properties, which underlies the observed effects. Based on the LPE studies, depending on the contact distance, it is possible to determine the numerical values of the diffusion lengths of the minor current carriers (Lp and Ln), their lifetimes (τp and τn), and diffusion coefficients (Dp and Dn) on the substrate material.","PeriodicalId":42569,"journal":{"name":"East European Journal of Physics","volume":"72 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139187578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study adsorption process computer models of fullerene and \"infinite\" graphene were approached to the required distance with a different set of geometric arrangement of fullerene with respect to the graphene surface.

Due to the multitude of binding pockets and functional groups on the protein surface, these nanocarriers seem to be highly efficient multifunctional nanotheranostic systems that could incorporate both a therapeutic drug and a visualizing agent. This integration serves multiple purposes, including the regulation of drug release, monitoring the alterations at the target site in response to treatment, and offering crucial insights into the efficacy of the intervention in its early stages. The development of these advanced nanosystems necessitates a thorough comprehension of the potential interactions within these intricate systems. In the present study we assessed the potential of six trimethine and seven pentamethine cyanine dyes to serve as visualizing agents in the drug-protein-dye systems which include functionally significant proteins (cytochrome c, serum albumin, lysozyme and insulin and four antiviral drugs, viz. favipiravir, molnupiravir, nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. The ternary systems with the highest dye-protein surface shape complementarity were established for all groups of the examined cyanine dyes. The influence of the cyanine dye structure on the stability of the drug-protein-dye complexes was assessed. The obtained results indicate that the dye-protein affinity is not solely dependent on the length of the polymethine chain.
