Mathematical model of a two-stage process of laser fragmentation of nitrocompound molecules and subsequent laser-induced fluorescence of characteristic fragments

The paper presents a mathematical model describing the kinetics of the two-stage process of laser fragmentation of vapors of nitrocompounds and subsequent nitric oxide (NO-fragments) laser-induced fluorescence. The use of the developed model in the lidar equation for the case of fluorescent objects allows to calculate the expected value of the lidar signal for a particular nitrocompound on the basis of spectroscopic information about the object of detection, parameters of the radiation propagation medium, and transceiver equipment parameter

Enhancement of the Raman lidar sensitivity using overtones of vibrational-rotational Raman bands of oxygen or nitrogen as the reference signals

Influence of the vibrational-rotational Raman bands of molecules of the main components of the atmosphere (oxygen and nitrogen) on the sensitivity of Raman lidar is considered. A method is proposed of using the first overtones of the vibrational-rotational Raman bands of oxygen and nitrogen molecules as the reference signals for the measurement of low concentrations of chemicals in the atmosphere by the Raman method

Some Realization Problems of Rights of Persons with Disabilities to Access to Social Infrastructure Facilities Access

In the article there is analyzed the norm of the Federal Law "On Social protection of people with disabilities in the Russian Federation", devoted to priority of providing disabled persons with spot for building a garage or parking space for vehicles. Here is revealed its declarative nature and problems of implementation as well as a new version of this norm is proposed

Remote detection of traces of high energetic materials

The possibility of remote detection of traces of high energetic materials using laser fragmentation/laser-induced fluorescence (LF/LIF) method is studied. Experimental data on the remote visualization of traces of trinitrotoluene, hexogen, composition B, octogen, and tetryl obtained at a distance of 5 m with a scanning lidar detector of traces of high energetic materials are presented

IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The article considers the importance of an effective risk management system in the conditions of uncertainty and instability for Russian companies. It concludeis that it is necessary to implement such a system to improve the management efficiency of a modern organization, using the example of PJSC “Geotek Seismo Razvedka”. The advantages and disadvantages of the existing risk management policy are identified. The authors suggest measures to improve the risk management system for this company. The article proposes to develope (define) the key risk indicators, offers to intensify risk management activities in the field of risk monitoring. To do this, the authors recommend to implement the Omnitracker Risk  Management software product as a system for automating the company’s risk management processes. The advantages of this product are considered, and a schedule for the implementation of Omnitracker Risk Management in PJSC “Geotek Seismo Razvedka”is developed

ADJUSTMENT OF THRUSTING STRUCTURE IN THE KOVYKTA-KHANDINSKAYA REFLECTED FOLDING ZONE

The Kovykta-Khandinskaya zone, which includes the Kovykta gas condensate field, is a giant located in the junction zone of the Angara-Lena stage with the craton edge – the Cis-Baikal trough. Here, according to the results of long-term geological exploration, the Verkhnelenskoe uplift was identified, the northern part of which is reflected on tectonic maps as the Kovykta ledge. At the same time, the geological model of the field today is based on the standard two-member model, which includes a slightly disturbed sedimentary cover and basement. However, new geophysical studies revealed that the sedimentary cover of the eastern part of the zone is intensely deformed and has a two-tiered nodular-thrust structure (the lower layer is autochthon, the upper layer is allochthon). The main object for gas exploration within the Kovykta gas condensate field is the Vendian formation. The middle (halogen-carbonate) section has been studied fragmentarily, mainly as an object of geological geohazards when drilling deep wells. The involvement of new data from 3D seismic and 3D transient electromagnetic methods made it possible to clarify the Kovykta gas condensate field tectonic structure to assess the potential of secondary carbonate reservoirs characterized by intense fluid (natural gas, brines) inflows

Molecular alliance of Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and a short unmodified antisense oligonucleotide of its anti-apoptotic IAP-3 gene: A novel approach for gypsy moth control

Baculovirus IAP (inhibitor-of-apoptosis) genes originated by capture of host genes. Unmodified short antisense DNA oligonucleotides (oligoDNAs) from baculovirus IAP genes can down-regulate specific gene expression profiles in both baculovirus-free and baculovirus-infected insects. In this study, gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) larvae infected with multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (LdMNPV), and LdMNPV-free larvae, were treated with oligoDNA antisense to the RING (really interesting new gene) domain of the LdMNPV IAP-3 gene. The results with respect to insect mortality, biomass accumulation, histological studies, RT-PCR, and analysis of DNA apoptotic fragmentation suggest that oligoRING induced increased apoptotic processes in both LdMNPV-free and LdMNPV-infected insect cells, but were more pronounced in the latter. These data open up possibilities for promising new routes of insect pest control using antisense phosphodiester DNA oligonucleotides

The study of bats by ultrasound detector in the zone of influence of wind farms in Ukrainian Azov region

UK: За останнє десятиріччя вітрові електростанції (ВЕС) набули значної популярності у Європі. Саме з ними пов'язують розвиток майбутньої енергетики та скорочення темпів зростання парникового ефекту. Одна кВт/година вітрової енергії скорочує виділення діоксиду вуглецю приблизно на 600 т порівняно з електростанціями, що спалюють кам'яне вугілля або нафту. Так, наприклад, у Німеччині використання поновлюваних джерел енергії дало змогу уникнути викиду в атмосферу 35 млн. тон різних газів (Deutschland, 2002). Великий інтерес до виробництва електроенергії за допомогою вітру є і в Україні, де вже створено кілька парків ВЕС
