Determination Of Toxicity Of Chopped Meat-based Semi-products In Vivo
At solving the problem of protein deficiency, the great role of the raw material for its production is played by leguminous cultures such as peas, haricot beans, lupine, forage beans, lentil, chick-peas, peavine and other. The chemical composition and food value of proteins of these cultures are most close to animal proteins – of meat, fish and also milk. Among the essential quantity of vegetable raw material that contains protein (33 - 50 %), the special place is occupied by lupine, characterized as an important reserve of high-quality protein substances at the World congress in 1991 in the USA [1].There were elaborated certain recipes of meat chopped semi-products, based on beef that contains 5 %, 10 %, 15 % of lupine flour and 0,5 % of elecampane root powder.There were carried out the studies on the determination of toxicity of functional raw material and cutlets with 10 % content of lupine flour and 0,5 % of elecampane on white mice organisms. There were used methods, based on toxic substances extraction from forages and peeled gains under condition of the intra-stomach administration and cutlets feed during 10 days. Blood was taken for hematological studies in mice, fed by functional cutlets.It was proved, that these products have no toxic influence on organisms. At the pathoanatomical dissection, any macroscopic changes in tissues were not revealed, blood hematological results are within norm.The best sample № 2 with 10 % content of lupine flour and 0,5 % of elecampane was determined by the gustatory method.It was determined, that functional meat chopped semi-product may be included in the ration for the sound, treating-prophylactic nutrition
Effect of Long Aging on the Resistivity Properties of Aluminum Doped YBa2Cu3−y Al y O7−δ Single Crystals with a Given Twin Boundary Topology
Criteria of efficiency for conformal prediction
We study optimal conformity measures for various criteria of efficiency of
classification in an idealised setting. This leads to an important class of
criteria of efficiency that we call probabilistic; it turns out that the most
standard criteria of efficiency used in literature on conformal prediction are
not probabilistic unless the problem of classification is binary. We consider
both unconditional and label-conditional conformal prediction.Comment: 31 page
The Electromagnetic Lorentz Problem and the Hamiltonian Structure Analysis of the Maxwell-Yang-Mills Type Dynamical Systems within the Reduction Method
Based on analysis of reduced geometric structures on fi bered manifolds, invariant under action of an abelian functional symmetry group, we construct the symplectic structures associated with connection forms on the related principal fi ber bundles with abelian functional structure groups. The Marsden-Weinstein reduction procedure is applied to the Maxwell and Yang-Mills type dynamical systems. The geometric properties of Lorentz type constraints, describing the electromagnetic fi eld properties in vacuum and related
with the well known Dirac-Fock-Podolsky problem, are discussed

Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer in Samples Pre-Diagnosis Using CA125 and MALDI-MS Peaks
Aim: A nested case-control discovery study was undertaken 10 test whether information within the serum peptidome can improve on the utility of CA125 for early ovarian cancer detection. Materials and Methods: High-throughput matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) was used to profile 295 serum samples from women pre-dating their ovarian cancer diagnosis and from 585 matched control samples. Classification rules incorporating CA125 and MS peak intensities were tested for discriminating ability. Results: Two peaks were found which in combination with CA125 discriminated cases from controls up to 15 and 11 months before diagnosis, respectively, and earlier than using CA125 alone. One peak was identified as connective tissue-activating peptide III (CTAPIII), whilst the other was putatively identified as platelet factor 4 (PF4). ELISA data supported the down-regulation of PF4 in early cancer cases. Conclusion: Serum peptide information with CA125 improves lead time for early detection of ovarian cancer. The candidate markers are platelet-derived chemokines, suggesting a link between platelet function and tumour development
The astrometric Gaia-FUN-SSO observation campaign of 99 942 Apophis
Astrometric observations performed by the Gaia Follow-Up Network for Solar
System Objects (Gaia-FUN-SSO) play a key role in ensuring that moving objects
first detected by ESA's Gaia mission remain recoverable after their discovery.
An observation campaign on the potentially hazardous asteroid (99 942) Apophis
was conducted during the asteroid's latest period of visibility, from
12/21/2012 to 5/2/2013, to test the coordination and evaluate the overall
performance of the Gaia-FUN-SSO . The 2732 high quality astrometric
observations acquired during the Gaia-FUN-SSO campaign were reduced with the
Platform for Reduction of Astronomical Images Automatically (PRAIA), using the
USNO CCD Astrograph Catalogue 4 (UCAC4) as a reference. The astrometric
reduction process and the precision of the newly obtained measurements are
discussed. We compare the residuals of astrometric observations that we
obtained using this reduction process to data sets that were individually
reduced by observers and accepted by the Minor Planet Center. We obtained 2103
previously unpublished astrometric positions and provide these to the
scientific community. Using these data we show that our reduction of this
astrometric campaign with a reliable stellar catalog substantially improves the
quality of the astrometric results. We present evidence that the new data will
help to reduce the orbit uncertainty of Apophis during its close approach in
2029. We show that uncertainties due to geolocations of observing stations, as
well as rounding of astrometric data can introduce an unnecessary degradation
in the quality of the resulting astrometric positions. Finally, we discuss the
impact of our campaign reduction on the recovery process of newly discovered
asteroids.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&
Detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the gravitationally-lensed blazar QSO B0218+357 with the MAGIC telescopes
Context. QSO B0218+357 is a gravitationally lensed blazar located at a
redshift of 0.944. The gravitational lensing splits the emitted radiation into
two components, spatially indistinguishable by gamma-ray instruments, but
separated by a 10-12 day delay. In July 2014, QSO B0218+357 experienced a
violent flare observed by the Fermi-LAT and followed by the MAGIC telescopes.
Aims. The spectral energy distribution of QSO B0218+357 can give information on
the energetics of z ~ 1 very high energy gamma- ray sources. Moreover the
gamma-ray emission can also be used as a probe of the extragalactic background
light at z ~ 1. Methods. MAGIC performed observations of QSO B0218+357 during
the expected arrival time of the delayed component of the emission. The MAGIC
and Fermi-LAT observations were accompanied by quasi-simultaneous optical data
from the KVA telescope and X-ray observations by Swift-XRT. We construct a
multiwavelength spectral energy distribution of QSO B0218+357 and use it to
model the source. The GeV and sub-TeV data, obtained by Fermi-LAT and MAGIC,
are used to set constraints on the extragalactic background light. Results.
Very high energy gamma-ray emission was detected from the direction of QSO
B0218+357 by the MAGIC telescopes during the expected time of arrival of the
trailing component of the flare, making it the farthest very high energy
gamma-ray sources detected to date. The observed emission spans the energy
range from 65 to 175 GeV. The combined MAGIC and Fermi-LAT spectral energy
distribution of QSO B0218+357 is consistent with current extragalactic
background light models. The broad band emission can be modeled in the
framework of a two zone external Compton scenario, where the GeV emission comes
from an emission region in the jet, located outside the broad line region.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in A&
