The features of the spatial structure of the gramicidine A-cesium complex

AbstractEarlier obtained two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy data were used to analyze the spatial structure and conformational mobility of the double right ↑↓ ππLD7.2 helix of the complex formed by gramicidine A and Cs+ ions in an organic solvent (a chloroform-methanol mixture). Analysis of the experimental data permitted the determination of a set of conformations for each of the high-mobility residue side chains in the solution. The energy refinement of the most probable conformation of the double right ↑↓ ππLD7.2 helix was made and conformational rearrangements of the tryptophan residue side chain were studied in detail

Consequences of Raising The Retirement Age for the Labor Market in the Regions of Russia

The article presents the results of a study aimed at assessing the consequences for the labor market of raising the retirement age in Russia. The foreign experience of raising the retirement age, on the basis of which a number of characteristic moments of this process are highlighted, is presented. The review of the scientific literature showed a polemical character of the problem under investigation and allowed to formulate a hypothesis of the study, which is as follows: raising the retirement age will lead to an increase in the supply of labor, which will entail the reduction of the labor price. The article presents an analysis of the current situation in the labor market. Since the raise of the retirement age will require the availability of vacant jobs in an amount not less than the number of people detained in the labor market, two tasks have been solved in this study. In the first task, the change in the average wage was calculated, provided that the number of jobs will meet the increased need, i.e. unemployment will remain at the same level. In the second task, the number of jobs is fixed to estimate the potential effect of raising the retirement age. Evaluation of the effect of raising the retirement age with a fixed number of jobs was carried out by constructing a regression relationship between wages and unemployment, differences in age groups were taken into account by introducing fictitious shift and tilt variables into the model. According to the calculations obtained under the first and second tasks, wages will decrease with the raising of the retirement age by one year for both sexes. The results of the study showed that the decision to raise the retirement age should be accompanied by a number of serious additional measures, primarily in the employment of population sector. © 2019, Economic Laboratory for Transition Research.

Methods of Burning Solid Fuel Mixtures in Power Plants (Review)

В работе представлен один из наиболее доступных способов перехода к ресурсосберегающей и экологически безопасной выработке тепловой и электрической энергии угольными объектами теплоэнергетики, заключающийся в сжигании смесей топлив. Проведен обзор существующего опыта перевода действующего теплотехнического оборудования как в России, так и за рубежом, подробно описаны основные трудности в процессе сжигания твердотопливных смесей. Наиболее эффективные смеси по своим экологическим показателям получаются на основе угля и биомассы с ее добавлением по теплосодержанию не более 20 %. Горение остается одним из самых сложных и не исследованных процессов, а при совместном горении нескольких твердых топлив происходят дополнительные взаимодействия, которые влияют на основные характеристики горения, поэтому в работе отдельно рассмотрены методики исследований процесса горения и оборудование для проведения опытного сжигания твердотопливных смесейThe paper presents one of the most accessible ways to transition to resource-saving and environmentally safe generation of heat and electricity by coal-fired thermal power facilities, which consists in burning fuel mixtures. A review of the existing experience in the transfer of existing heat engineering equipment both in Russia and abroad is carried out, the main difficulties in the process of burning solid fuel mixtures are described in detail. The most effective mixtures in terms of their environmental performance are obtained on the basis of coal and biomass with its addition in terms of heat content of no more than 20 %. The combustion remains one of the most complex and unexplored processes, and during the joint combustion of several solid fuels, additional interactions occur that affect the main combustion characteristics, therefore, the paper separately considers the methods for studying the combustion process and equipment for experimental combustion of solid fuel mixture

Information Entropy of Molecular Tunneling

Molecular tunneling process has been considered by means of radiation theory. The formula for information entropy calculation has been derived by means of interaction model of thermal equilibrium radiation with a molecule at low temperatures. The physical meaning of information entropy for low-temperature plateau of unimolecular chemical reaction has been determined. It is a measure of conversion of thermal radiation energy to mechanical energy that moves atoms in a molecule during elementary activation act. It is also a measure of uncertainty of this energy conversion. The conversion takes place at a temperature when the average energy of the elementary activation act is equal to a part of zero energy of the transforming molecule. Two unimolecular reactions have been investigated. These are Fe-CO bond recombination in β-hemoglobin and double proton transfer in benzoic acid dimer for sequential deuteration of hydrogen bond and various hydrostatic pressures. Using the information entropy formula it is possible to calculate its value in energy units of measurements for low-temperature plateau. Probabilities of occurrence of the reactions under considerations, their efficiency and mean-square fluctuations of the distribution function parameters have also been determined

The Features of Native Gold in Ore-Bearing Breccias with Realgar-Orpiment Cement of the Vorontsovskoe Deposit (Northern Urals, Russia)

This paper describes native gold in ore-bearing breccias with realgar-orpiment cement from the Vorontsovskoe gold deposit (Northern Urals, Russia). Particular attention is paid to the morphological features of native gold and its relation to other minerals. The latter include both common (orpiment, barite, pyrite, prehnite, realgar) and rare species (Tl and Hg sulfosalts, such as boscardinite, dalnegroite, écrinsite, gillulyite, parapierrotite, routhierite, sicherite, vrbaite, etc.). The general geological and geochemical patterns of the Turyinsk-Auerbakh metallogenic province, including the presence of small non-economic copper porphyry deposits and general trend in change of the composition of native gold (an increase in the fineness of gold from high-temperature skarns to low-temperature realgar-orpiment breccias) confirm that the Vorontsovskoe deposit is an integral part of a large ore-magmatic system genetically associated with the formation of the Auerbakh intrusion
