Mathematical model for the analysis of environmental risk factors

The article studies the economic consequences of harmful effects on the environment. A mathematical model has been developed for the analysis of environmental risk factors. When constructing a model, the probability of an insured event depending on time is taken into account. It is shown that different probabilistic impact models can be used for different categories of risk factors. The development of a dynamic model is based on the methods of probability theory, actuarial mathematics and, accordingly, on the, numerical methods and simulation methods. Analytical expressions for the risk factor integral value of environmental management are obtained in the work. The mathematical calculation of the distribution function, or the survival function before the time period occurrence of an insured event in different cases is performed, namely: in the case of a risk factor with a constant intensity, in the case of gradually emerging risk factors with their constant intensities, in the case when the survival function is decreasing at a linear rate, as well as in the case when equipment wear and tear leads to an exponential increase in the risk intensity

Influence of maternal hemoconcentration on fetal development

This paper deals with the modern views on the rheological properties of blood in pregnant women and their effect on placental blood flow, fetal growth and development. Physiological role of hemodilution was determined during the second trimester of pregnancy. We have presented our own data on gestation process and perinatal outcomes in women with elevated blood concentration indices. It was found that the most typical complication in such cases is a fetal growth retardation, being detected in 40% of cases. It has been shown that the pathophysiological mechanism of this condition is based on the increased viscosity of blood in the small vessels and on disorders of microcirculatory blood flow. The rationality of the therapy aimed at improving the rheological properties of blood has been proved. In particular, pregnant women with high hemoglobin indices in the second trimester are recommended to take Dipyridamole

The role of highly dispersed silica nanoparticles in the realization of the effects of granulosa on the maturation and fertilization competence of <i>Sus scrofa domesticus</i> oocytes

Reproductive technologies are some of the key directions in the context of the need to preserve and select highly productive farmed animals in terms of economically useful traits. Improvements of the existing models of the in vitro oocyte maturation system help to solve the problem of low yield of porcine embryos at the final stages of preimplantation development. In the present study, a model of culture medium for gametes (NCSU-23 with 10 % homologous follicular fluid, 10 IU hCG and 10 IU eCG) modernized by the addition of 1·106 granulosa cells (GCs) per ml and 0.001 % of highly dispersed silica nanoparticles (HDSn) is proposed for use in the IVM and IVF technology of donor porcine oocytes. Analysis of the oocyte chromatin status by the Tarkowsky method and assessment of the level of destructive changes in chromatin (apoptosis, pyknosis) revealed a significant percentage increase in matured oocytes and a decrease in the proportion of granulosa cells with degenerated chromatin when using the original culture system. The positive effects of a joint addition of GCs and HDSn to the maturation system have made it possible to increase the indicators of the meiotic maturation and fertilization of oocytes. Optimal results of developmental competence of oocytes were achieved with the joint use of GCs and HDSn in the maturation system (the proportion of matured cells reached 89 %, the level of oocytes with chromosome degeneration was 12 %, 39 % of embryos reached the final stage of preimplantation development). The positive effect of HDSn on oocyte fertilization was accompanied by an abrupt decrease in destructive processes in GCs during culture in the presence of HDSn. The level of somatic cells with pyknotic nuclei was 32 % and the level of apoptosis (TUNEL-test), 21 %, compared with the control (43 and 31 %, p &lt;0.01, respectively). Thus, a high efficiency of the porcine oocyte maturation system in the joint culture of gametes with GCs and HDSn was revealed. It makes it possible to recommend a model of this culture medium at the IVM of female gametes of Sus scrofa domesticus for improving the quality of donor oocytes used in cell and genetic engineering

DIFFERENTIATION OF MUNICIPALITIES AND THE INFLUENCE OF FLAGSHIP ENTERPRISES ON THE LEVEL OF THEIR SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The article studies the impact of flagship enterprises on the level of socio-economic development of territories, the inflow of human capital and the intensification of entrepreneurial activity on the example of municipalities of three  subjects of the Siberian Federal district by constructing a regression model. The paper reveals the significant level  of differentiation of socio-economic development indicators for municipalities located within the same region. The  study determines the high influence of the growth of the population incomes in the absence of a significant increase in the population on the aggregate indicator of territorial development, the gross municipal product in  municipalities with flagship enterprises. The authors have identified the average impact of the flagship enterprises, in terms of stimulating the development of entrepreneurial activity, as well as revenue growth of companies  operating in these enterprises

Magnetic Phase Separation and Magnetic Moment Alignment in Ordered Alloys FE 65

The structure and the magnetic state of ordered Fe65Al35-xMx (Mx = Ga, B; x = 0; 5 at.%) alloys are investigated using X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The behavior of the magnetic characteristics and Mössbauer spectra of the binary alloy Fe65Al35 and the ternary alloy with gallium addition Fe65Al30Ga5 is explained in terms of the phase separation into two magnetic phases: a ferromagnetic one and a spin density wave. It is shown that the addition of boron to the initial binary alloy Fe65Al35 results in the ferromagnetic behavior of the ternary alloy

Observation of time quasicrystal and its transition to superfluid time crystal

We report experimental realization of a quantum time quasicrystal, and its transformation to a quantum time crystal. We study Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons, associated with coherent spin precession, created in a flexible trap in superfluid $^3$He-B. Under a periodic drive with an oscillating magnetic field, the coherent spin precession is stabilized at a frequency smaller than that of the drive, demonstrating spontaneous breaking of discrete time translation symmetry. The induced precession frequency is incommensurate with the drive, and hence the obtained state is a time quasicrystal. When the drive is turned off, the self-sustained coherent precession lives a macroscopically-long time, now representing a time crystal with broken symmetry with respect to continuous time translations. Additionally, the magnon condensate manifests spin superfluidity, justifying calling the obtained state a time supersolid or a time super-crystal

Study of vaginal microbiota in postmenopausal women with surgical correction of genital prolapse

The study of the vaginal microflora of women with genital prolapse (GP), who are ref erred to surgical treatment, is of particular importance. Infectious and inflammatory complications after the surgical correction of GP significantly increase the recovery time, the length of the patient’s hospital stay and the cost of treatment. It is important to be able to change the qualitative composition of microflora, thereby exerting a beneficial effect on the course of the postoperative period, affecting the outcome of surgical treatment. Evaluation of the vaginal microbiota by real-time polymerase chain reaction in postmenopausal women with surgical correction of genital prolapse against the background of using low-dose local therapy regimens with a drug containing estriol, progesterone and Lactobacillus culture

FEATURES OF IMMUNE RESPONSE IN PRETERM BABIES WITH BRONCHOPULMONARY DISPLASIA OF VARIOUS SEVERITY

To evaluate the immunity indexes in the children who were born with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) of varying severity at very early delivery terms (22-27 weeks), dynamic examinations were performed in 35 infants: 17 children were with severe BPD; 18, with mild-severity and moderately severe BPD. The comparison group consisted of seven children born at 22-27 weeks of gestational age without signs of BPD. Relative numbers of lymphocyte subpopulations (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, CD16+CD56+, CD4+CD25+), and monocytes (CD14+CD64+, CD14+HLA-DR+) were determined by flow cytometry. The level of cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-4) was measured by enzyme immunoassay technique. The features of immune status in children with BPD of severe, mild and moderate severity were discerned. It was found that the predictors of severe BPD development in the children born at very early terms, are: increased content of IL-8 at birth and at the age of 1 month, reduced level of expression on monocytes (CD64, HLA-DR) on the 1 month of life, and CD14+CD64+ cells at 38-40 weeks post conception. The revealed features of immune status in newborns with BPD can be used to assess the effectiveness of the therapy, which requires further research in this direction

U-Pb LA-ICP-MS DATING OF DETRITAL ZIRCON FROM UPPER PERMIAN SANDSTONE OF THE BOYEVAYA GORA SECTION (ORENBURG REGION, SOUTHERN CIS-URALS)

The first results of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of 150 detrital zircon grains from the Upper Permian sandstone of the Boyevaya Gora section (Orenburg region, the Southern Cis-Urals) are presented. 95 conditional zircon U-Pb isotopic dates form two age peaks – 381 and 529 Ma. It is assumed that clastic material entered the sedimentation basin mainly due to erosion of the Early Hercynian Ural complexes and relics of the Protouralian-Timanian orogen
