Influence of intestinal coccidiosis on weight gain of young cattle

The purpose of the research is to study the effect of coccidiosis infection (cryptosporidiosis, eimeriosis) on the average daily gains in live weight of young cattle.Materials and methods. The studies were carried out on animals spontaneously infected with Eimeria spp. And Cryptosporidium spp. According to the principle of analogues, 4 groups of animals were formed, 10 heads each. In the first experiment, the average daily weight gain of 1-20-day-old animals infected with Cryptosporidium (1st experimental group) and clinically healthy calves (1st control group) was compared. For the second experiment, calves at the age of 2-4 months, infected with Eimeria spp. (2nd), were selected, young animals free from infection were selected in the second control group.Results and discussion. In calves infected with Cryptosporidium spp., the average daily gains ranged from 0.597±0.017 to 0.675±0.018 kg. The decrease in growth per day relative to the animals of the control group was, on average, 0.346 kg. The maximum loss of weight gain, 11.0±0.88 kg, was recorded in November. A similar dynamic of the decrease in average daily weight gain was established in animals at eimeriosis. During the research period, the shortfall in live weight of calves infected with Eimeria spp. was 21.5±2.6 kg, which is 12.3 kg less relative to the mass of calves infected with Cryptosporidium spp. Sharp fluctuations in the reduction of average daily weight gain in this group were not recorded: on average, 0.248±0.113 kg relative to the control group. Thus, the reason for the lack of live weight gain (up to 40 %) in calves in the farm of the Uvinsky district of the Udmurt Republic is intestinal coccidiosis. The minimum indicator of the average daily gain in live weight (0.597±0.017 kg) falls on the group of calves infected with cryptosporidiosis, which is almost 2 times less relative to the gain of animals from the control group

Recrystallized microstructures and mechanical properties of a C-containing CoCrFeNiMn-type high-entropy alloy

The effect of cold rolling to 80% thickness reduction and annealing at 973-1373 K for 1h our on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a C-containing CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy was studied. Cold rolling significantly strengthened the alloy to the yield strength of 1310 MPa. Annealing at 973 K or 1073 K resulted in incomplete recrystallization of an fcc matrix and M23C6-type carbide precipitations aligned with highly elongated grains/subgrains. Complete recrystallization occurred during annealing at 1173-1373

Verification of mathematical models of flow around a spherical element by the PIV-method

При создании высокотемпературных газоохлаждаемых ядерных реакторов альтернативой засыпке из шаровых тепловыделяющих элементов является подвес шаровых элементов в каналах с специально организованным потоком газа. При этом отсутствуют термомеханические напряжения тепловыделяющих элементов, и значительно интенсифицируется теплообмен. Целью данного исследования является экспериментальная верификация математической модели обтекания шарового тепловыделяющего элемента с помощью метода цифровой трассерной визуализации (PIV-метод). Экспериментально получено поле скорости при обтекании шарового элемента, которое позволило установить достоверность разработанной ранее математической модели.When a high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors are creating, alternative of spherical fuel elements backfilling is a suspension of spherical elements in channels with specially organized gas flow. Then there are no thermomechanical stresses of the fuel elements, and the heat exchange intensifies greatly. The purpose of this study is experimental verification of mathematical models of flow around a spherical fuel element by the method of particle image velocimetry (PIV-method). The velocity field obtained experimentally in the flow around of spherical element, which allowed to establish the accuracy of the previously developed mathematical model

Effect of carbon on recrystallised microstructures and properties of CoCrFeMnNi-type high-entropy alloys

The effect of carbon content (x = 0, 0.5, and 2.0 at.%) on the phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of thermomechanically processed CoCrFeMnNi system high-entropy alloys was studied. The molar fraction of Cr in the program Co₁Cr₀.₂₅Fe1Mn1Ni1 alloy was reduced to 0.25 compared with the equiatomic alloy to increase the solubility of carbon in the face-centred cubic solid solution. The as-cast alloys were cold rolled to 80% thickness reduction and then annealed at 600e1000 C for 1 h. The addition of carbon to the CoCrFeMnNi alloys resulted in an increase in the temperature at which recrystallisation starts and in the precipitation of the Cr-rich M₂₃C₆ carbide particles. The volume fraction of the second phase increased with an increase in the carbon content and decreased with increasing annealing temperatur

HUMAN GRANULOCYTOTROPIC ANAPLASMOSIS

Natural focal tick-borne infections are widespread in the world and are characterized by a great etiologic diversity. Human granulocytotropic anaplasmosis (HGA), also transmitted by the bite of ticks became relevant in the last century of detection not only in animals but also in humans. The review provides an overview of the incidence of HGA in Russia and in the world, the prevalence of the habitat of mites, the diversity of reservoirs and sources of infection, mechanisms and pathways of transmission of the pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum and its biological features. The links and stages of the disease pathogenesis are considered in detail. Scientific data on the clinical course of the disease, the frequency and diversity of various symptoms of the disease, the issues of laboratory and differential diagnosis of anaplasmosis and its place in the nosological structure in patients with fever of unknown origin are discussed. At the same time, choosing a method of laboratory diagnostics it is necessary to take into account that molecular-genetic method (polymerase chain reaction PCR-diagnosis) allows to confirm the diagnosis quickly, while serological methods of research in a greater degree - to put a retrospective diagnosis. The article presents current data on the treatment of disease and methods of HGA prevention and also presents the results of the authors’ own observations based on the survey of 63 patients. The analysis of Moscow residents treatment about sucking mites is carried out and summarized the incidence of infections transmitted by ixode mites. For the diagnosis of HGA and other tick-borne fever used a technique called polymerase chain reaction. It has been revealed that in Moscow, lime borreliosis occupies a leading place among mites associated with infections 60%, and the share of granulocytic anaplasmosis of a person is only 5% of patients. However, the study of ticks for the presence of HGA pathogens and other natural focal tick infections is carried out in insufficient volume (less than 30%), which should be considered in clinical and laboratory differential diagnosis, as well as preventive measures

Effect of nitrogen on microstructure and mechanical properties of the CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy after cold rolling and subsequent annealing

The effect of nitrogen on the structure and mechanical behavior of a CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy after rolling and subsequent annealing was examined. The as-cast alloys doped with 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 at% N were cold rolled to 80% thickness reduction. Further annealing in the temperature range of 700-1000 °C for 1 h has resulted in (i) development of recrystallization in the fcc matrix and (ii) precipitation of the M2N type nitrides in the alloys with 1.0 and 2.0 at% N. The recrystallization onset temperature lowered with an increase in the N content. Besides, the fcc grain size in the alloy with 2.0 at
