Composition of Fluids Responsible for Gold Mineralization in the Pechenga Structure-Imandra-Varzuga Greenstone Belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia.

This study presents the first fluid inclusion data from quartz of albite–carbonate–quartz altered rocks and metasomatic quartzite hosting gold mineralization in the Pechenga structure of the Pechenga– Imandra–Varzuga greenstone belt. A temperature of 275–370°C, pressure of 1.2–4.5 kbar, and the fluid composition of gold-bearing fluid are estimated by microthermometry, Raman spectroscopy, and LA-ICP-MS of individual fluid inclusions, as well as by bulk chemical analyses of fluid inclusions. In particular, the Au and Ag concentrations have been determined in fluid inclusions. It is shown that albite–carbonate–quartz altered rocks and metasomatic quartzite interacted with fluids of similar chemical composition but under different physicochemical conditions. It is concluded that the gold-bearing fluid in the Pechenga structure is similar to that of orogenic gold deposits

ВЛИЯНИЕ ЭКСТРАКТА СУХОГО КОМПЛЕКСНОГО РАСТИТЕЛЬНОГО СРЕДСТВА НА ПОВЕДЕНИЕ БЕЛЫХ КРЫС ПРИ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНОМ ГИПОТИРЕОЗЕ

In experiments on Wistar rats, the effect of an extract of a dry complex herbal remedy on the behavior of white rats in the open field and elevated plus-maze tests in experimental hypothyroidism induced by the administration of mercazolyl was investigated. It was established that the extract of dry complex herbal remedy in doses of200 and 300 mg/kg in the open field test increases the number of animals' entries the central squares of the plant (3.6 and 5.0 times; p<0.05) and the mink reflex (4.0 and 4.6 times; p<0.05); in the elevated plus maze - the number of entries (1.9 and 2.2 times; p<0.05) and the time the animals stay in the open arms of the maze (2.0 and 2.8 times; p<0.05). Thus, the test remedy levels the anxiogenic effect that develops against the background of experimental hypothyroidism, and contributes to an increase in the motor and orienting-exploratory activity of animals.В опытах на белых крысах линии Wistar исследовали влияние экстракта сухого комплексного растительного средства на поведение белых крыс в тестах «открытое поле» и «приподнятый крестообразный лабиринт» при экспериментальном гипотиреозе, индуцированном введением мерказолила. Установлено, что экстракт сухой комплексного растительного средства в дозах 200 и 300 мг/кг в тесте «открытое поле» увеличивает количество заходов животных в центральные квадраты установки (в 3,6 и 5 раз; p<0,05) и норковый рефлекс (в 4 и 4,6 раза; p<0,05); в приподнятом крестообразном лабиринте - количество заходов (1,9 и 2,2 раза; p<0,05) и время нахождения животных в открытых рукавах лабиринта (в 2 и 2,8 раза; p<0,05). Таким образом, исследуемое средство нивелирует анксиогенный эффект, развивающийся на фоне экспериментального гипотиреоза, и способствует повышению двигательной и ориентировочно-исследовательской активности животных

ALICE: Physics performance report, volume I

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. It currently includes more than 900 physicists and senior engineers, from both nuclear and high-energy physics, from about 80 institutions in 28 countries. The experimentwas approved in February 1997. The detailed design of the different detector systems has been laid down in a number of Technical Design Reports issued between mid-1998 and the end of 2001 and construction has started for most detectors. Since the last comprehensive information on detector and physics performance was published in the ALICE Technical Proposal in 1996, the detector as well as simulation, reconstruction and analysis software have undergone significant development. The Physics Performance Report (PPR) will give an updated and comprehensive summary of the current status and performance of the various ALICE subsystems, including updates to the Technical Design Reports, where appropriate, as well as a description of systems which have not been published in a Technical Design Report. The PPR will be published in two volumes. The currentVolume I contains: 1. a short theoretical overview and an extensive reference list concerning the physics topics of interest to ALICE, 2. relevant experimental conditions at the LHC, 3. a short summary and update of the subsystem designs, and 4. a description of the offline framework and Monte Carlo generators. Volume II, which will be published separately, will contain detailed simulations of combined detector performance, event reconstruction, and analysis of a representative sample of relevant physics observables from global event characteristics to hard processes. © 2004 IOP Publishing Ltd
