Regularities of electrochemical cleaning of oil-contaminated soils

Electrochemical cleaning of oil-contaminated soils is a promising area of environmental safety, as it can be easily organized even in locations remote from settlements. For this purpose, a power source and a system of electrodes are necessary as equipment. It is possible to use an electric generator if there are no power supply lines nearby. The material of electrodes affects the features of redox processes, which can affect the energy consumption and the degree of soil cleansing from oil or oil products. Therefore, the correct choice of electrode materials is one of the important tasks in the field of engineering electrochemical methods of purification. Changes in the main parameters (humidity, temperature, degree of acidity) in an oil-contaminated model soil, similar in composition to one of the oil fields, were investigated. Measurements of parameters when using graphite and metal electrodes were carried out at several fixed sections of the interelectrode space depending on the treatment time. The established patterns of parameter changes in the purification of oil-contaminated soils allow us to draw conclusions about the stages of the electrochemical process, its speed, and energy efficiency. The results obtained form a basis for designing industrial facilities for soil treatment

An algorithm for secondary prevention of kidney and urinary tract diseases in outpatient clinics

Aim – to evaluate the effectiveness of an algorithm of the medical staff actions during the secondary prevention of kidney and urinary tract diseases in an outpatient polyclinic. Material and methods. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conducted a survey among outpatient clinic doctors with job-experience longer than 10 years using a specially developed questionnaire (score from 1 to 10). To assess the consistency of doctors' opinions, the Kendall's Concordance Coefficient (W) was calculated. W 0.7 was considered as a high degree of agreement between doctors' opinions. To assess the significance of the obtained concordance coefficient, the ÷2 criterion was calculated at a significance level of α ≤0.05. Results. Our analysis of the doctors' answers revealed that the proposed algorithm can be used as an alternative to sanatorium treatment for the prevention of exacerbations of urinary system diseases. Conclusion. The medical and organizational measures for the secondary prevention of exacerbations of urinary system diseases, embodied in the algorithm, allow for improving general well-being in patients under dispensary observation. The algorithm was positively assessed by doctors of outpatient clinics

Gene expression atlas of fruit ripening and transcriptome assembly from RNA-seq data in octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)

RNA-seq has been used to perform global expression analysis of the achene and the receptacle at four stages of fruit ripening, and of the roots and leaves of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). About 967 million reads and 191 Gb of sequence were produced, using Illumina sequencing. Mapping the reads in the related genome of the wild diploid Fragaria vesca revealed differences between the achene and receptacle development program, and reinforced the role played by ethylene in the ripening receptacle. For the strawberry transcriptome assembly, a de novo strategy was followed, generating separate assemblies for each of the ten tissues and stages sampled. The Trinity program was used for these assemblies, resulting in over 1.4 M isoforms. Filtering by a threshold of 0.3 FPKM, and doing Blastx (E-value < 1 e-30) against the UniProt database of plants reduced the number to 472,476 isoforms. Their assembly with the MIRA program (90% homology) resulted in 26,087 contigs. From these, 91.34 percent showed high homology to Fragaria vesca genes and 87.30 percent Fragaria iinumae (BlastN E-value < 1 e-100). Mapping back the reads on the MIRA contigs identified polymorphisms at nucleotide level, using FREEBAYES, as well as estimate their relative abundance in each sample
