Myasthenia Gravis Diagnosis with Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Modern medicine aims to diagnose diseases at early stages which constitutes a relevant task of biomedical research. The present investigation focuses on myasthenia, a disease that takes the third place in terms of frequency worldwide, has complex symptoms and is difficult to treat. It is early diagnostics that allows for providing competent medical assistance and, sometimes, curing the patient. To detect the cause of the disease, the Raman spectroscopy was used to study blood serum samples covered with quartz glass with gold clusters embedded. The Raman cross-section has been amplified with the gold nanoparticles which made it possible to detect Botulotoxin-A in blood serum of patients suffering from myastheni

Ecological and Economic Advantages of Remote Heat Supply from Reactor Plant of Advanced Safety BN-1200

The heat supply based on the combined heat and power production is the basis of rational use of energy resources. This will increase the efficiency of existing nuclear power plants (NPP) and give a significant cut in the nitrogen oxide and greenhousegases emissions from burning fossil fuels. The data of the remote heat transport are summarized. The technical, economic, and ecological preconditions determining the long-distance transportation of heat possibility are given. The estimation of the efficiency of long-distance transport of heat from NPP is made. A variant of a scheme of Ekaterinburg heat supply from Beloyarsk NPP is given. Keywords: nuclear power plant, efficiency, the heat supply based on the combined heat and power production, waste heat, heat pump, radiation safet
