The computation of the real part of the nucleus-nucleus optical potential based on the microscopic double-folding model was implemented within both the MPI and OpenMP parallelising techniques. Test calculations of the total cross section of the 6He + 28Si scattering at the energy 50 A MeV show that both techniques provide significant comparable speedup of the calculations.

The data on the 12,14Be + p elastic scattering cross sections at 700 Mev are compared with those obtained by solving the relativistic wave equation with the microscopic optical potentials calculated as folding of the NN amplitude of scattering with densities of these nuclei in the form of the symmetrized Fermi function with the fitted radius and diffuseness parameters, and also with the densities obtained in two microscopic models, based on the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) and the other one – on the Variational Method of Calculations (VMC). For 12Be, above models turn out to be in a small disagreement with the data at "large" angles of scattering θ ≥ 9°, while for the 14Be one sees some inconsistence at smaller angles, too.

Live-cell super-resolution of proteins labeled with genetically encoded fluorescent tags is a challenging task because of the imperfect labeling and the inevitable deterioration of the signal in the course of the experiment. Incomplete maturation of the covalently attached fluorescent tags, inefficient photoconversion, and photobleaching further complicate prolonged live-cell nanoscopy. We have implemented two strategies for lowering the photodamage: ensuring the dynamic replacement of damaged molecules and establishing conditions for the robust intrinsic blinking of the tags at lower illumination powers.

Elastic scattering cross sections are calculated and compared to the data of π± + 28Si and 40Ca at energies 130, 180, and 230 MeV by using the both microscopic optical potentials (OP), the high-energy folding and the local Kisslinger type potentials. In the folding OP, we use the known nuclear density distributions while parameters of the elementary πN-scattering amplitude are fitted to the data with the aim to estimate the inmedium effect on pions scattered on bound nucleons. As to the local modified Kisslinger OP its parameters are known from the earlier studies. The cross sections for both OPs are calculated by solving the Klein-Gordon wave equation, and thus the relativistic and distortion effects on the process are accounted for exactly. A fairly well agreement with experimental data was obtained and the decisive role of a surface region of potentials was established where both OPs occur in close coincidence.
