Modeling of atmospheric air quality in the Tomsk using WRF/CAMx complex

The results of numerical modeling of meteorological parameters and concentrations of small components of atmospheric air Tomsk city obtained using the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) and Comprehensive Air quality Model with eXtensions (CAMx) models are presented. Several periods were selected when increased concentrations of pollutants were observed with the TOR-station of the IAO SB RAS to estimate the level of atmospheric air quality in the city based on numerical modeling. For these periods, the values of the Air Quality Index were calculated using the WRF/CAMx complex with using US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations. The obtained results of the numerical forecast show the possibility of the formation of a high level of air pollution under certine meteorological conditions in the city

Shed urinary ALCAM is an independent prognostic biomarker of three-year overall survival after cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer.

Proteins involved in tumor cell migration can potentially serve as markers of invasive disease. Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM) promotes adhesion, while shedding of its extracellular domain is associated with migration. We hypothesized that shed ALCAM in biofluids could be predictive of progressive disease. ALCAM expression in tumor (n = 198) and shedding in biofluids (n = 120) were measured in two separate VUMC bladder cancer cystectomy cohorts by immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The primary outcome measure was accuracy of predicting 3-year overall survival (OS) with shed ALCAM compared to standard clinical indicators alone, assessed by multivariable Cox regression and concordance-indices. Validation was performed by internal bootstrap, a cohort from a second institution (n = 64), and treatment of missing data with multiple-imputation. While ALCAM mRNA expression was unchanged, histological detection of ALCAM decreased with increasing stage (P = 0.004). Importantly, urine ALCAM was elevated 17.0-fold (P < 0.0001) above non-cancer controls, correlated positively with tumor stage (P = 0.018), was an independent predictor of OS after adjusting for age, tumor stage, lymph-node status, and hematuria (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.03-2.06; P = 0.002), and improved prediction of OS by 3.3% (concordance-index, 78.5% vs. 75.2%). Urine ALCAM remained an independent predictor of OS after accounting for treatment with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, carcinoma in situ, lymph-node dissection, lymphovascular invasion, urine creatinine, and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.02-1.19; P = 0.011). In conclusion, shed ALCAM may be a novel prognostic biomarker in bladder cancer, although prospective validation studies are warranted. These findings demonstrate that markers reporting on cell motility can act as prognostic indicators

Search for f1(1285)→π+π−π0f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decay with VES detector

The isospin violating decay $f_1(1285)\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ has been studied at VES facility. This study is based at the statistics acquired in $\pi^- Be$ interactions at 27, 36.6 and 41 GeV/c in diffractive reaction $\pi^- N \to (f_1 \pi^-) N$. The $f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decay is observed. The ratio of decay probabilities $BR(f_1(1285) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$ to $BR(f_1(1285) \to \eta \pi^+\pi^-) \cdot BR(\eta \to \gamma\gamma)$ is $\sim\:1.4$.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, presented at XII Conference on Hadron Spectroscop

The Effect of Tile Light Collection Reduction along Radius on the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter Uniformity

We report on the light collection non uniformity of trapezoidal scintillating tiles along radius and its consequence on the miscalibration of the middle and back longitudinal calorimeter samplings. We discuss the need to apply extra corrections to the cells response after equalization and corrections obtained by the cesium calibration system, in order to bring all three longitudinal samplings to the right electromagnetic scale

Influence of enhanced Amino Acid Compositions on Human Cognitive Functions after COVID-19

This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of enhanced Amino Acid (AA) compositions on human cognitive functioning after Covid-19 damaging effect. The research study design included an open, randomized, placebo-controlled trial for 60 days. Participants in the study were measured initially, randomly divided into three groups: people who had Covid in the previous year. people who never had Covid. and placebo. Experimental and non-Covid groups used amino-acid compositions. while placebo group used sugar pills. All people were measured after 30 and 60 days. 70 healthy people aged 35-65. men and women. divided into three groups: 35 people in experimental Covid group, 15 people in non-covid group, and 20 people in placebo group. People in placebo group all had Covid. People in experimental covid and non-covid groups consumed daily specially prepared aminoacidic composition, charged with the radiation of a cold plasma. In the first test Covid groups demonstrated a statistically significant difference with a non-Covid group. After 30-and 60-days results of the experimental Covid group had no statistical difference with the results of non-Covid group. while results of both these groups demonstrated a statistically significant difference with the results of placebo group. The results showed that using AA compositions during the longitude period significantly affected cognitive functions in particular memory, speed of reactions and attention and allow to overcome negative effects of the Covid inflammation
