Operational experience of GNSS receivers with Chip Scale Atomic Clocks for baseline measurements

Currently, one of the topical issues of improving GLONASS system is modernization of its uniformity measurement equipment, including RF measurement equipment and electronic length measurement equipment. To this end, at the Spatial Reference Proving Ground of theSiberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies (SSUGT), the authors of this article carried out a successful experiment to measure a short GNSS baseline by receivers equipped with Chip Scale Atomic Clocks (CSACs) with instability of 10−11 showed that the mean deviation between the slant distance (D) measured using GNSS receivers connected to CSACs and their certified value varied in the range of 0.1–2.5 mm, with the average value of 0.9 mm. The mean deviation obtained using GNSS geodetic receivers not connected to CSAC and their certified value made up 9.4 mm. The obtained experimental results suggest that substitution of quartz frequency generators with temperature compensation used in geodetic GNSS receivers for Chip Scale Atomic Clocks in any metrological or verification kit increases accuracy and reliability of short baselines measurements results, which highly perspective in view of development of techniques for creating reference baselines with a reproduction error of unit length of about 1 mm per 1 km. The above-mentioned experiment opens up new horizons for the use of Chip Scale Atomic Clocks in such fields of science as metrological support of geodetic equipment, geodesy, etc

Криомассаж грудной клетки и сильвинитовая спелеотерапия в комплексной медицинской реабилитации больных бронхиальной астмой

Summary. The study was conducted to evaluate therapeutic and preventive effect of chest cryomassage and sylvinite speleotherapy in addition to the standard drug therapy in patients with mild to moderate persistent partially controlled bronchial asthma. Effects of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme were confirmed by a distinct reduction in eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation, significant improvements in systemic immunity, lung function, cardiorespitatory hemodynamics, exercise tolerance, and psychological adaptation.Резюме. Изучено лечебно-профилактическое действие криомассажа грудной клетки и сильвинитовой спелеотерапии на фоне стандартного медикаментозного лечения у больных легкой и среднетяжелой персистирующей бронхиальной астмой с частично контролируемым течением. Отчетливый регресс эозинофильного и нейтрофильного воспаления, выраженное улучшение показателей системного иммунитета, внешнего дыхания, легочной кардиогемодинамики, физической толерантности, психологической адаптации позволил констатировать преимущество комплексного применения реабилитационных методов

Development of a Standardized DNA Database for Chinook Salmon

An international multi-laboratory project was conducted to develop a standardized DNA database for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). This project was in response to the needs of the Chinook Technical Committee of the Pacific Salmon Commission to identify stock composition of Chinook salmon caught in fisheries during their oceanic migrations. Nine genetics laboratories identified 13 microsatellite loci that could be reproducibly assayed in each of the laboratories. To test that the loci were reproducible among laboratories, blind tests were conducted to verify scoring consistency for the nearly 500 total alleles. Once standardized, a dataset of over 16,000 Chinook salmon representing 110 putative populations was constructed ranging throughout the area of interest of the Pacific Salmon Commission from Southeast Alaska to the Sacramento River in California. The dataset differentiates the major known genetic lineages of Chinook salmon and provides a tool for genetic stock identification of samples collected from mixed fisheries. A diverse group of scientists representing the disciplines of fishery management, genetics, fishery administration, population dynamics, and sampling theory are now developing recommendations for the integration of these genetic data into ocean salmon management.Original Abstract: Se realizo un proyecto internacional con la participation de diversos laboratorios con la finalidad de desarrollar una base de datos estandarizada de DNA para el salmon rey (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Dicho proyecto surgi6 como respuesta a las necesidades del Comite Tecnico Chinook de la Comision del Salmon del Pacifico para identificar la composition poblacional del salmon rey que es capturado por la pesqueria durante su migration. Un total de nueve laboratorios de analisis geneticos identificaron y reprodujeron cada uno 13 loci microsatelites. Con el objeto de probar que dichos loci fueran reproducibles entre laboratorios, se condujeron pruebas anonimas para verificar la consistencia de casi 500 alelos. Una vez estandarizada, se construyo una base de datos construida con information proveniente de mas de 16,000 salmones que representan 110 poblaciones putativas distribuidas a lo largo del area de interes de la Comision del Salm6n del Pacifico, del sureste de Alaska hasta el Rio Sacramento, California. La base de datos sirve tanto para identificar gene'ticamente los distintos stocks de salmon rey a partir de muestras combinadas provenientes de la pesqueria como para diferenciar el linaje genetico conocido mas importante de esta especie. En la actualidad, un importante grupo de cientificos especializados en disciplinas como el manejo y administracion de pesquerias, genetica, dinamica poblacional y teoria del muestreo estan desarrollando recomendaciones para que esta base de datos geneticos se incorpore en el manejo del salmon
