A system consisting of a mass attached to a nonlinear spring with negative linear stiffness and cubic nonlinearity, (i.e., a spring obeying Duffing's equation with negative linear stiffness) and a linear spring at a certain offset distance is studied. Melnikov's method is applied to determine the existence of homoclinic points for the Poincare map, and preserved resonant orbits and boundaries for these are given in the parameter space. This system is then compared to the system consisting of only the nonlinear spring with regard to the existence of parameter regimes where chaotic motion is possible. It is shown that if the linear spring is of appropriate stiffness the chaotic motion for a given set of parameter values occurring for the system consisting of only the nonlinear spring is replaced by periodic motion and the mechanism of this phenomenon is explained.

The theory of multiple scattering has been worked out by Groves and comparisons have been made between predicted and observed signals for thick specimens observed in a STEM under conditions where phase contrast effects are unimportant. Independent measurements of the collection efficiencies of the two STEM detectors, calculations of the ratio σe/σi = R, where σe, σi are the total cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering respectively, and a model of the unknown mass distribution are needed for these comparisons. In this paper an extension of this work will be described which allows the determination of the required efficiencies, R, and the unknown mass distribution from the data without additional measurements or models. Essential to the analysis is the fact that in a STEM two or more signal measurements can be made simultaneously at each image point.

The article deals with the problem of determining market boundaries for antitrust law enforcement in the field of telecommunications. An empirical approach has been proposed for determining the product boundaries of the market in the area of mass distribution of messages, taking into account the comparative characteristics of the types and methods of notification (informing) of end users; the possibilities of switching from one way of informing to another, including the evolution of such opportunities under the influence of technological changes; switching between different notification methods. Based on the use of surveys of customers of sending SMS messages, it is shown that the product boundaries should include not only sending messages via SMS, but also e-mail, instant messengers, Push notifications and voice information. The paper illustrates the possibilities of applying the method of critical loss analysis to determining the boundaries of markets based on a mixture of surveys and economic modeling.
