В статье представлена новая математическая модель с высокой степенью детализации описания изучаемых процессов. Проведены расчёты электролизёра Содерберга для модельной задачи, а также расчёты для многоанодного электролизёра. Для описания гидродинамики процесса электролиза используется система уравнений Навье-Стокса. Распределение электромагнитных полей описывается системой уравнений Максвелла. Рассматривается влияние распределения потенциала по аноду на МГД-стабильность электролиза, а также даётся сравнительный анализ численных экспериментовThe mathematical model with a high detailed description of the studied processes is presented in current paper. Results of modeling Soderbergh’s reduction cell for model task and for reduction cell with multiple anodes are also presented. System of the equations of Navier-Stokes is used for modeling of hydrodynamics of process of electrolysis. Distribution of electromagnetic fields is fitted to Maxwell’s system of equations. Influence of distribution of electric potential over the anode on MHD-stability of process is considered and comparative analysis of numerical experiments is also give

New Nanostructured Carbon Coating Inhibits Bacterial Growth, but Does Not Influence on Animal Cells

An electrospark technology has been developed for obtaining a colloidal solution containing nanosized amorphous carbon. The advantages of the technology are its low cost and high performance. The colloidal solution of nanosized carbon is highly stable. The coatings on its basis are nanostructured. They are characterized by high adhesion and hydrophobicity. It was found that the propagation of microorganisms on nanosized carbon coatings is significantly hindered. At the same time, eukaryotic animal cells grow and develop on nanosized carbon coatings, as well as on the nitinol medical alloy. The use of a colloidal solution as available, cheap and non-toxic nanomaterial for the creation of antibacterial coatings to prevent biofilm formation seems to be very promising for modern medicine, pharmaceutical and food industries

Wireless Optogenetic Stimulation of Oxytocin Neurons in a Semi-natural Setup Dynamically Elevates Both Pro-social and Agonistic Behaviors

Complex behavioral phenotyping techniques are becoming more prevalent in the field of behavioral neuroscience, and thus methods for manipulating neuronal activity must be adapted to fit into such paradigms. Here, we present a head-mounted, magnetically activated device for wireless optogenetic manipulation that is compact, simple to construct, and suitable for use in group-living mice in an enriched semi-natural arena over several days. Using this device, we demonstrate that repeated activation of oxytocin neurons in male mice can have different effects on pro-social and agonistic behaviors, depending on the social context. Our findings support the social salience hypothesis of oxytocin and emphasize the importance of the environment in the study of social neuromodulators. Our wireless optogenetic device can be easily adapted for use in a variety of behavioral paradigms, which are normally hindered by tethered light delivery or a limited environment
