Polynomial reconstruction of electric charge distribution on the conductive plate caused by external electric field
The paper proposes an original method of calculating the charge distribution on the surface of the conductive plate introduced into the external electrostatic field. The authors managed to obtain the polynomials which allow to solve the integral equation that establishes the relationship between charge distribution of the conductive plate and the potential distribution of the external field and the potential on the surface of the plate. The proposed algorithms solutions are valid in the presence of axial symmetry of the field and the plate. Examples of calculation of conductor charge distribution in the presence of external field by using a polynomial expansion have been presented. The comparisons of results calculated by the polynomial method and by known analytical solutions have been given
Estimation of reproductive toxicity of the complex plant remedy "Tireoton"
To study the probable negative influence of the complex remedy "Tireoton" on the reproductive function of the laboratory animals the following tests have been carried out, namely the probable occurrence of embryo-toxicity, teratogenicity, foetotoxicity and its influence on the postnatal development of the laboratory animals progeny. The experiments have been carried out of the white Wistar rats. It has been established that the "Tireoton" at the doses of 75 and 750 mg/kg has no embryotoxic, teratogenic and fetotoxical effect. The introduction of the "Tireoton" at the dose of 750 mg/kg since 6th to 19th day of pregnancy does not influence on the postnatal development of white rats progeny
Impact of Nordic walking on health outcomes in older women
There are a number of factors that contribute to the accelerated rate of aging, one of which is physical activity. The increasing proportion of elderly and senile people in the Russian Federation requires urgent implementation of the elderly generation subprogram within the framework of the Demography federal project. In this regard, the problems of maintaining health and the development of methodological approaches to assessing the health of people in the older age group are especially significant.Objective: evaluation of anthropometry, stabilometry and biochemical parameters in the dynamics of Nordic walking in elderly womenMaterials and methods: 30 women were examined, mean age 69.0 (63.0–71.5) years. Examination by a therapist and a neurologist, biochemical blood tests, stabilometry, anthropometry, osteodensitometry (ODM) were carried out. Training loads of Nordic walking (NW) for 3 months were carried out according to the generally accepted method 3 times a week.Results: According to the biochemical analysis of blood, a statistically significant increase in the level of phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (AP), total protein, as well as a decrease in the level of calcium and total cholesterol were revealed. When considering anthropometry data, there was a statistically significant decrease in body weight, BMI, body fat mass according to the Durnin — Womersley method, SBP and an increase in the cardiovascular index. According to the results of computer stabilometry — a statistically significant increase in the average position of the CP in the sagittal plane with open and closed eyes.Conclusion: 1. The use of NW as a training factor to achieve active longevity in the elderly leads to an improvement in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, due to a statistically significant decrease in body weight, a decrease in SBP by an average of 15 mm Hg. art., as well as the level of total cholesterol. 2. With regular NW exercises for 3 months, the functional stability indicators in the sagittal plane are corrected both with open and closed eyes
On insertion-deletion systems over relational words
We introduce a new notion of a relational word as a finite totally ordered
set of positions endowed with three binary relations that describe which
positions are labeled by equal data, by unequal data and those having an
undefined relation between their labels. We define the operations of insertion
and deletion on relational words generalizing corresponding operations on
strings. We prove that the transitive and reflexive closure of these operations
has a decidable membership problem for the case of short insertion-deletion
rules (of size two/three and three/two). At the same time, we show that in the
general case such systems can produce a coding of any recursively enumerable
language leading to undecidabilty of reachability questions.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure

Methodology. The methods of mathematical statistics are used as research methods for estimation of calculated volumes of traffic and loaded traffic, in particular, the methods of time series analysis; the methods of mathematical modeling are used to evaluate the calculated volumes of empty traffic. Findings. Calculated volumes of the main-line and industrial railway stations activity are determined according to the monthly and daily irregularity. Monthly irregularity is proposed to evaluate against the trend of the indicator over the last 3-5 years, constructed using the method of weighted moving average. The 30-day period in the previous year with the largest total amount of work is proposed to use as the calculation period for the assessment of daily irregularity. The computation size of empty traffic volumes is proposed to be determined on the basis of loaded traffic volumes with the probability matrix of cars usage for dual operations. The proposed method is verified by the work volume calculation for the year 2014 according to previous time periods. The test results showed that the proposed method as compared with traditional one provides higher stability of the results when changing time periods, used for analysis, as well as a more accurate assessment of the calculated volumes of work.

EFFECT OF COMPLEX PLANT REMEDY ON THE MORPHOFUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE LIVER OF RATS WITH ETHANOL-INDUCED HEPATITIS
The influence of the complex plant remedy (Urtica dioica L., Polygonum aviculare L., Achillea millefolium L., Zingiber officinalis L., Cinnamomum cassia L.) on the morphofunctional state of the liver in rats with ethanol-induced hepatitis was studied. The liver injury was simulated with 40% ethanol introduction to rats in dose of 10.0 ml/kg for 7 days. The extract of the complex remedy was administered to animals in dose of 200 ml/kg for 14 days. The findings showed that the tested remedy inhibited the development of microcirculatory impairments, decreased the intensity of inflammatory infiltration and diminished the amount of hepatocytes subjected to adipose and cloudy degeneration as well as to necrotic changes. The increased amount of hypertrophied and binuclear hepatocytes in the area of the portal tract and central vein testifies reparation processes in the liver of the rats treated with the tested plant extract
