The role of chemokine genes in the formation of terminal stage of chronic renal failure
The data on the role of chemokine genes (+1931A/T CCL4, A/G CXCL11 (rs4512021), -403A/G CCL5, C/G CCL2 (rs2857657), -801G/A CXCL12) in the formation of terminal stage of chronic renal failure, in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis, is presented in the work. It was established, that the allele A CXCL11 (rs4512021) (OR = 1.65) was the marker for the development of terminal stage of chronic renal insufficiency, and the genotype GG CXCL11was a protective factor for the development of terminal stage of chronic renal failure (OR = 0.22
Identification method based on Zadeh filter models
Mathematical modeling which provides the description of objects and proper organization of control operations in future is an integral stage in the automation of production. One of the approaches to build a mathematical model of an object is to represent nonlinear systems as combinations of inertial and nonlinear inertialess elements. The models thus obtained are called block-oriented. In this paper, we consider nonlinear dynamic objects represented as the models of the Zadeh filter class. In the process of the method development the identification equations were derived for the case when the test signal is a single sinusoid. Then the case of two sinusoids was considered. Such investigations allowed us to identify the patterns and describe the general case for several test components in the signal. The results of digital modeling using the sum of harmonic signals confirm the feasibility and validity of the proposed approach for identifying nonlinear models of the Zadeh filter class

On EPR paradox, Bell's inequalities and experiments which prove nothing
This article shows that the there is no paradox. Violation of Bell's
inequalities should not be identified with a proof of non locality in quantum
mechanics. A number of past experiments is reviewed, and it is concluded that
the experimental results should be re-evaluated. The results of the experiments
with atomic cascade are shown not to contradict the local realism. The article
points out flaws in the experiments with down-converted photons. The
experiments with neutron interferometer on measuring the "contextuality" and
Bell-like inequalities are analyzed, and it is shown that the experimental
results can be explained without such notions. Alternative experiment is
proposed to prove the validity of local realism.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures. I edited a little the text and abstract I

Nonlocality, Bell's Ansatz and Probability
Quantum Mechanics lacks an intuitive interpretation, which is the cause of a
generally formalistic approach to its use. This in turn has led to a certain
insensitivity to the actual meaning of many words used in its description and
interpretation. Herein, we analyze carefully the possible mathematical meanings
of those terms used in analysis of EPR's contention, that Quantum Mechanics is
incomplete, as well as Bell's work descendant therefrom. As a result, many
inconsistencies and errors in contemporary discussions of nonlocality, as well
as in Bell's Ansatz with respect to the laws of probability, are identified.
Evading these errors precludes serious conflicts between Quantum Mechanics and
both Special Relativity and Philosophy.Comment: 8&1/2 pages revtex; v2: many corrections, clairifications &

Promising genetic sources for the creation of varieties of durum spring wheat in Western Siberia
The study, expansion and preservation of the genetic diversity of the source material, and its purposeful use in hybridization is the basis for the creation of adaptive varieties of durum spring wheat that are resistant to biotic and abiotic factors of the environment of Western Siberia. The objects of research were samples of durum spring wheat. Over the years of research (2000–2020), about 3 thousand samples were worked out from the world gene pool of various countries and regions: from the collection of the VIR, the gene pool from Mexico (CIMMYT) within the framework of the agreement and cooperation program (2000–2007), from 2000 to the present time under the program of the Kazakh-Siberian Spring Wheat Breeding Network (KASIB), from other scientific institutions of Russia in exchange activities. Using generally accepted techniques, the obtained material was studied for a complex of traits: yield, adaptability, grain quality, resistance to diseases. In the cycle of studying the gene pool from CIMMYT, 50 genotypes were identified in terms of yield at the level of the Omskaja jantarnaja standard, 276 grains by test weight, 131 samples by pasta color, 131 samples by resistance to hard smut, and 112 by resistance to powdery mildew. Almost all samples were not affected by leaf rust. The study set showed high sensitivity to extreme conditions and most forms of interest in quality and disease resistance were low-productive in our environment. In KASIB nurseries, 29 samples were identified in terms of yield and adaptability, 29 samples in terms of grain quality, 21 in terms of resistance to diseases, including 8 resistant to stem rust. In the set of varieties received from the VIR, 15 genotypes were adaptive, 16 had high grain quality, 11 were resistant to stem rust. In the breeding material, 17 samples of the local population resistant to stem rust (6 of them were comprehensively resistant) and 25 race-resistant to Ug99 were identified. The genotypes identified as a result of research are of interest as sources of valuable traits
Relative luminosity measurement of the LHC with the ATLAS forward calorimeter
In this paper it is shown that a measurement of the relative luminosity
changes at the LHC may be obtained by analysing the currents drawn from the
high voltage power supplies of the electromagnetic section of the forward
calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. The method was verified with a reproduction
of a small section of the ATLAS forward calorimeter using proton beams of known
beam energies and variable intensities at the U-70 accelerator at IHEP in
Protvino, Russia. The experimental setup and the data taking during a test beam
run in April 2008 are described in detail. A comparison of the measured high
voltage currents with reference measurements from beam intensity monitors shows
a linear dependence on the beam intensity. The non-linearities are measured to
be less than 0.5 % combining statistical and systematic uncertainties.Comment: 16 page
