In Memory of Vsevolod Gantmakher . ... Having received his Ph.D. in 1964, V. Gantmakher continued work at the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which had been founded a year before. For the next three years, he worked on his D.Sc. thesis at IPP. ... For many years, as an outstanding personality and highest scientific authority, V.Gantmakher made a remarkable contribution to creating a friendly atmosphere and a creative approach to the research work at ISSP. ...

It is supported by 15 EU member states, including new member states, and thus integrates the entire European optical interferometry community. ...

Mikhail TAMM (LPTMS, Paris-11 Orsay): "Clover-leaf structures in associating polymers: a toy model for RNA folding . The clover-leaf structures under discussion are defined as follows. The polymer is supposed to bear numerous sticky centers along the chain, these centers being capable of forming thermoreversible bonds with each other. ... Now, we say that some given structure belongs to the clover-leaf type if the archs on the corresponding diagram do not intersect each other. ...

... We have used a coupled dynamical and chemical model to examine the chemical changes caused by the passage of a density wave propagating into the protostellar cloud. ... The chemical coupling between gas and dust causes locally increased number densities of active ra dicals, such as C, N, O, NH, and OH, and hydrogen saturated molecules CH 4 , NH 3 and H 2 O. We show that chemical evolution in the post-wave gas can account for the observed abundance of water and NH 3 observed in interstellar clouds. ...
