On the Bayesian multidimensional-matrix polynomial empirical regression

The problem of the parameters estima-tion for the polynomial in the input variables regression function is formu-lated and solved. The input and output variables of the regression function are multidimensional-matrices. The pa-rameters of the regression function are assumed to be random independent multidimensional matrices with Gauss-ian distribution and known mean value and dispersion matrices. The solution to this problem is a multidimensional-matrix system of the linear algebraic equations in multidimensional-matrix unknowns – function regression pa-rameters. We have considered particu-lar case of quadratic regression func-tion, for which we have obtained for-mulas for parameters calculation. The computer simulation of the quadratic regression functions is performed for the two-dimensional matrix input and output variables

ИНВЕСТИЦИОННАЯ ПРИВЛЕКАТЕЛЬНОСТЬ ЖИЛИЩНО-КОММУНАЛЬНОЙ СФЕРЫ

Investment attractiveness of housing and utilities sector for private operators refers to conditions of investment of communal infrastructure as principles of investment, as well as long-term rent, i.e.: on account of state and municipal assistance on non-return or beneficial terms; possibility to acquire such electricity, heat, water supply and drainage objects being constructed, that have not been included as a part of concession agreement against guarantee of investment return with regard to interest rated specified by such concession agreement, and one of tools of investment attraction thereof is application of new methods of tariff management and various models of agreements.Инвестиционная привлекательность коммунальной сферы для частных операторов состоит в условиях инвестирования объектов коммунальной инфраструктуры как на принципах вложения, так и долгосрочной аренды, а именно: за счет государственной и муниципальной помощи на безвозвратных или льготных условиях; в возможности приобретения в собственность тех строящихся объектов по электро-, тепло-, водоснабжению и водоотведению, которые не вошли в состав концессионного соглашения с гарантией возврата своих инвестиций с учетом определенной концессионным соглашением доли процентов. Одним из инструментов привлечения инвестиций является применение новых методов тарифного регулирования и различных договорных моделей

Selection of cultivation medium for production of late stationary phase serine proteinases from Bacillus intermedius

B. intermedius have been shown previously to secrete two serine proteinases: glutamyl endopeptidase 2 and subtilisin 2 during the late stationary phase, with maximal levels of the enzymes activities recorded at the 40th and 44th hours of growth, respectively. In the current study, we analyzed the impact of various culture medium components on biosynthesis of these proteinases. Yeast extract and gelatin did not stimulate the enzymes biosynthesis. However, on the medium containing 0.1% casein subtilisin 2 production increased to reach 140%. Biosynthesis of both serine proteinases, produced by B. intermedius at the late stationary phase, were found to be inhibited by individual amino acids, and to be insensitive to catabolite repression. In order to maximise enzyme production, the presence of Ca 2+ and Mg2+ at concentration of 5 mM was shown to be necessary. Based on the results of this work, the composition of a complex culture media for the effective production of late stationary phase proteinases by B. intermedius was developed

Picosecond Fluorescence Relaxation Spectroscopy of the Calcium-Discharged Photoproteins Aequorin and Obelin

Addition of calcium ions to the Ca2+-regulated photoproteins, such as aequorin and obelin, produces a blue bioluminescence originating from a fluorescence transition of the protein-bound product, coelenteramide. The kinetics of several transient fluorescent species of the bound coelenteramide is resolved after picosecond-laser excitation and streak camera detection. The initially formed spectral distributions at picosecond-times are broad, evidently comprised of two contributions, one at higher energy (25000 cm-1) assigned as from the Ca2+-discharged photoprotein-bound coelenteramide in its neutral state. This component decays much more rapidly (t1/2 2 ps) in the case of the Ca2+-discharged obelin than aequorin (t1/2 30 ps). The second component at lower energy shows several intermediates in the 150-500 ps times, with a final species having spectral maxima 19400 cm-1, bound to Ca2+-discharged obelin, and 21300 cm-1, bound to Ca2+-discharged aequorin, and both have a fluorescence decay lifetime of 4 ns. It is proposed that the rapid kinetics of these fluorescence transients on the picosecond time scale, correspond to times for relaxation of the protein structural environment of the binding cavit

Disease characteristics of MCT8 deficiency : an international, retrospective, multicentre cohort study

Background Disordered thyroid hormone transport, due to mutations in the SLC16A2 gene encoding monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), is characterised by intellectual and motor disability resulting from cerebral hypothyroidism and chronic peripheral thyrotoxicosis. We sought to systematically assess the phenotypic characteristics and natural history of patients with MCT8 deficiency. Methods We did an international, multicentre, cohort study, analysing retrospective data from Jan 1, 2003, to Dec 31, 2019, from patients with MCT8 deficiency followed up in 47 hospitals in 22 countries globally. The key inclusion criterion was genetically confirmed MCT8 deficiency. There were no exclusion criteria. Our primary objective was to analyse the overall survival of patients with MCT8 deficiency and document causes of death. We also compared survival between patients who did or did not attain full head control by age 1·5 years and between patients who were or were not underweight by age 1–3 years (defined as a bodyweight-for-age Z score <–2 SDs or <5th percentile according to WHO definition). Other objectives were to assess neurocognitive function and outcomes, and clinical parameters including anthropometric characteristics, biochemical markers, and neuroimaging findings. Findings Between Oct 14, 2014, and Jan 17, 2020, we enrolled 151 patients with 73 different MCT8 (SLC16A2) mutations. Median age at diagnosis was 24·0 months (IQR 12·0-60·0, range 0·0-744·0). 32 (21%) of 151 patients died; the main causes of mortality in these patients were pulmonary infection (six [19%]) and sudden death (six [19%]). Median overall survival was 35·0 years (95% CI 8·3–61·7). Individuals who did not attain head control by age 1·5 years had an increased risk of death compared with patients who did attain head control (hazard ratio [HR] 3·46, 95% CI 1·76–8·34; log-rank test p=0·0041). Patients who were underweight during age 1–3 years had an increased risk for death compared with patients who were of normal bodyweight at this age (HR 4·71, 95% CI 1·26–17·58, p=0·021). The few motor and cognitive abilities of patients did not improve with age, as evidenced by the absence of significant correlations between biological age and scores on the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 and Bayley Scales of Infant Development III. Tri-iodothyronine concentrations were above the age-specific upper limit in 96 (95%) of 101 patients and free thyroxine concentrations were below the age-specific lower limit in 94 (89%) of 106 patients. 59 (71%) of 83 patients were underweight. 25 (53%) of 47 patients had elevated systolic blood pressure above the 90th percentile, 34 (76%) of 45 patients had premature atrial contractions, and 20 (31%) of 64 had resting tachycardia. The most consistent MRI finding was a global delay in myelination, which occurred in 13 (100%) of 13 patients. Interpretation Our description of characteristics of MCT8 deficiency in a large patient cohort reveals poor survival with a high prevalence of treatable underlying risk factors, and provides knowledge that might inform clinical management and future evaluation of therapies

(Table 2) Contents of labile mercury forms in soils from the area of the Bol'shoe Yarovoe lake

We examined mercury distribution in soils and plants of the catchment area of the Bol'shoe Yarovoe lake with the Altaikhimprom chemical industrial complex localized on its shore. Data on mercury contents show considerable mercury flow into environment, though the industrial complex and its waste do not pose serious threat. Revealed pollution in the immediate vicinity of the industrial complex including that due to atmospheric transport, as well as elevated content of mercury in hydrochloric and alkaline extracts suggest its intense migration from the waste. Therefore, it is necessary to make an inventory of the industrial-complex waste and perform a detailed study of the lake ecosystem as a model unit
