ГЕОДИНАМИЧЕСКИЕ ВОЛНЫ И ГРАВИТАЦИЯ

 Gravity phenomena related to the Earth movements in the Solar System and through the Galaxy are reviewed. Such movements are manifested by geological processes on the Earth and correlate with geophysical fields of the Earth. It is concluded that geodynamic processes and the gravity phenomena (including those of cosmic nature) are related.  The state of the geomedium composed of blocks is determined by stresses with force moment and by slow rotational waves that are considered as a new type of movements [Vikulin, 2008, 2010]. It is shown that the geomedium has typical rheid properties [Carey, 1954], specifically an ability to flow while being in the solid state [Leonov, 2008]. Within the framework of the rotational model with a symmetric stress tensor, which is developed by the authors [Vikulin, Ivanchin, 1998; Vikulin et al., 2012a, 2013], such movement of the geomedium may explain the energy-saturated state of the geomedium and a possibility of its movements in the form of vortex geological structures [Lee, 1928]. The article discusses the gravity wave detection method based on the concept of interactions between gravity waves and crustal blocks [Braginsky et al., 1985]. It is concluded that gravity waves can be recorded by the proposed technique that detects slow rotational waves. It is shown that geo-gravitational movements can be described by both the concept of potential with account of gravitational energy of bodies [Kondratyev, 2003] and the nonlinear physical acoustics [Gurbatov et al., 2008]. Based on the combined description of geophysical and gravitational wave movements, the authors suggest a hypothesis about the nature of spin, i.e. own moment as a demonstration of the space-time ‘vortex’ properties.   Проводится обзор гравитационных явлений, связанных с движениями Земли в Солнечной системе и Галактике. Эти движения и их вариации отражаются в геологических процессах, происходящих в Земле, и коррелируют с ее геофизическими полями. Формулируется вывод о существовании взаимосвязи между геодинамическими процессами и гравитационными (космической природы в том числе) явлениями. Состояние геосреды, являющейся блоковой по своему строению, определяется напряжениями с моментом силы и новым типом движений – медленными ротационными волнами [Vikulin, 2008a, 2008b, 2010]. Показано, что для гео­среды характерны реидные [Carey, 1953] свойства – способность течь в твердом состоянии [Leonov, 2008]. Такое движение геосреды позволяет в рамках развиваемой авторами ротационной модели с симметричным тензором напряжений [Vikulin, Ivanchin, 1998; Vikulin et al., 2012a, 2013] объяснить ее энергонасыщенное состояние и возможность движения в виде вихревых геологических структур [Lee, 1928]. Обсуждается метод регистрации гравитационных волн, в основе которого заложена идея их взаимодействия с блоками земной коры [Braginsky et al., 1985]. Формулируется вывод о том, что в рамках такой методики с использо­ванием в качестве детектора медленных ротационных волн оказывается возможным зарегистрировать гравитационные волны. Описание геогравитационных движений возможно в рамках как теории потенциала с учетом гравитационной энергии тел [Kondratiev, 2003], так и нелинейной физической акустики [Gurbatov et al., 2008]. Обобщение гео­физических и гравитационных волновых движений позволило авторам предложить гипотезу о природе спина – собственного момента как проявления «вихревых» свойств пространства–времени. 

Эффективность применения модификаций препарата Суперстим в малых дозах на этапе адаптации микрорастений жимолости (Lonicera L.) подсекции синей (Caeruleae Rehd.) к нестерильным условиям с учетом последействия на этапе доращивания

Relevance. In recent years, interest in the edible honeysuckle culture has increased in Russia, the wide distribution of which is hampered by the lack of quality planting material. The technology of clonal micropropagation allows for a short time to obtain a large amount of honeysuckle planting material, more than a thousand regenerated plants per year from one meristematic apex introduced into an in vitro culture. It is hundreds of times more than in traditional methods of vegetative propagation. Adaptation to non-sterile conditions is the final and most crucial stage of clonal micropropagation, the loss of which can be from 50 to 90%. It should be noted that there is practically no research on how the further development of adapted honeysuckle plants takes place during subsequent growing.Methods. Researching of growth regulators of the new generation Superstim 1 and Superstim 2 effect in low and ultra-low doses on the survival rates and development of honeysuckle plants at the stages of adaptation subsequent growing.Results. Superstim 1 is more effective at physiological concentrations – 1 x 10-7 and in the field of ultra-low doses – 1 x 10-14, 1 x 10-15%. At the stage of subsequent growing, a positive after-effect of physiological concentrations – 1x10-3 and 1x10-7 was observed, and an ultra-low dose – 1x10-17%. The growth regulator Superstim 2 at the stages of adaptation and subsequent growing is effectively used only in one concentration – 1x10-16%. The additional foliar treatments at the stage of subsequent growing are not necessary. Актуальность. В последние годы в России увеличивается интерес к культуре жимолости съедобной, широкое распространение которой сдерживается из-за дефицита качественного посадочного материала. Технология клонального микроразмножения позволяет за короткий срок получить большое количество посадочного материала жимолости, более тысячи растений-регенерантов в год из одного введенного в культуру in vitro меристематического апекса, что в сотни раз больше, чем при использовании традиционных методов вегетативного размножения. Адаптация к нестерильным условиям является заключительным и наиболее ответственным этапом клонального микроразмножения, потери на котором могут составлять от 50 до 90% мериклонов. Следует отметить, что практически нет исследований о том, каким образом происходит дальнейшее развитие адаптированных растений жимолости при доращивании.Методика. Проведено изучение влияния препаратов нового поколения Суперстим 1 и Суперстим 2 в малых и сверхмалых дозах на показатели приживаемости и развития растений жимолости на этапах адаптации и доращивания.Результаты. Выявлено, что препарат Суперстим 1 более эффективен в физиологической концентрации – 1x10-7% и в области сверхмалых доз – 1x10-14, 1x10-15%. На этапе доращивания выявлено положительное последействие физиологических концентраций – 1x10-3, 1x10-7%, и сверхмалой дозы – 1x10-17%. Препарат Суперстим 2 на этапах адаптации и доращивания эффективно применять только в одной концентрации – 1x10-16%. В дополнительных некорневых обработках на этапе доращивания нет необходимости.

Key indicators of innovation activity of Russia (From 2011 to 2017)

© 2019, Allied Business Academies. All rights reserved. Innovation as a priority for development Russia's economy became relevant relatively recently. Management of innovation processes federal and regional level requires knowledge of their patterns, problems and the specifics of innovation in Russia, as well as the problems and specifics of the innovation activities of enterprises in the context of economic activities. Official federal statistics contain extremely limited number of indicators characterizing innovative processes in business. The innovation sphere is currently the subject of a study of various branches of scientific knowledge and is actualized in numerous scientific publications. However, they do not have common conceptual foundations, and for the most part they have only economic content. In the literature there is no single definition of the concept of "innovation", we tried to give a single comprehensive definition of the concept of "innovation", consider different points of view, identified two main approaches to the definition of the concept of innovation. In the article we tried to analyze the basic indicators of the innovative development of the Russian Federation over the past 7 years

Comparative cytotoxicity of kaolinite, halloysite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide

This study aimed at comparative examining of the interactions between conventionally used clay and carbon nanomaterials and human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells). The following platy and tubular nanomaterials were tested: carbon nanoparticles, i.e. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) as well as nanoclays, i.e. halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and kaolinite nanosheets (Kaol). Nanoparticle physicochemical properties and their internalization into cells were examined using dynamic light scattering as well as atomic force, 3D laser scanning confocal and darkfield hyperspectral microscopies. Biological aspects of the nanomaterial-cell interaction included assessment of cellular toxicity, DNA damage, metabolic activity, and physical parameters of the cells. Regardless of a shape, carbon nanomaterials demonstrated cell surface adsorption, but negligible penetration into cells compared to nanoclays. However, carbon nanomaterials were found to be the most toxic for cells as probed by the MTS assay. They also turned out to be the most genotoxic for cells compared to nanoclays as revealed by the DNA-Comet assay. GO significantly increased the fraction of apoptotic cells and was the most cytotoxic and genotoxic nanomaterial. Comparison of flow cytometry and MTS data indicated that a cytotoxic effect of MWCNTs was not associated with increased cell death, but was rather due to a decrease in cell metabolic activity and/or proliferation. Finally, no significant effect of the shape of the tested nanomaterials on their internalization and cytotoxicity was revealed

Spontaneous shrinkage drives macromolecule encapsulation into layer-by-layer assembled biopolymer microgels

Hypothesis: Recently, the anomalous shrinkage of surface-supported hyaluronate/poly-l-lysine (HA/PLL) microgels (µ-gels), which exceeds that reported for any other multilayer-based systems, has been reported [1]. The current study investigates the capability of these unique µ-gels for the encapsulation and retention of macromolecules, and proposes the shrinkage-driven assembly of biopolymer-based µ-gels as a novel tool for one-step surface biofunctionalization. Experiments: A set of dextrans (DEX) and their charged derivatives - carboxymethyl (CM)-DEX and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-DEX - has been utilized to evaluate the effects of macromolecular mass and net charge on µ-gel shrinkage and macromolecule entrapment. µ-gels formation on the surface of silicone catheters exemplifies their potential to tailor biointerfaces. Findings: Shrinkage-driven µ-gel formation strongly depends on the net charge and mass content of encapsulated macromolecules. Inclusion of neutral DEX decreases the degree of shrinkage several times, whilst charged DEXs adopt to the backbone of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, resulting in shrinkage comparable to that of non-loaded µ-gels. Retention of CM-DEX in µ-gels is significantly higher compared to DEAE-DEX. These insights into the mechanisms of macromolecular entrapment into biopolymer-based µ-gels promotes fundamental understanding of molecular dynamics within the multilayer assemblies. Organization of biodegradable µ-gels at biomaterial surfaces opens avenues for their further exploitation in a diverse array of bioapplications

Pharmaceuticals removal by adsorption with montmorillonite nanoclay

The problem of purifying domestic and hospital wastewater from pharmaceutical compounds is becoming more and more urgent every year, because of the continuous accumulation of chemical pollutants in the environment and the limited availability of freshwater resources. Clay adsorbents have been repeatedly proposed as adsorbents for treatment purposes, but natural clays are hydrophilic and can be inefficient for catching hydrophobic pharmaceuticals. In this paper, a comparison of adsorption properties of pristine montmorillonite (MMT) and montmorillonite modified with stearyl trimethyl ammonium (hydrophobic MMT-STA) towards carbamazepine, ibuprofen, and paracetamol pharmaceuticals was performed. The efficiency of adsorption was investigated under varying solution pH, temperature, contact time, initial concentration of pharmaceuticals, and adsorbate/adsorbent mass ratio. MMT-STA was better than pristine MMT at removing all the pharmaceuticals studied. The adsorption capacity of hydrophobic montmorillonite to pharmaceuticals decreased in the following order: carbamazepine (97%) >ibuprofen (95%) > paracetamol (63–67%). Adsorption isotherms were best described by Freundlich model. Within the pharmaceutical concentration range of 10–50 µg/mL, the most optimal mass ratio of adsorbates to adsorbents was 1:300, pH 6, and a temperature of 25◦ C. Thus, MMT-STA could be used as an efficient adsorbent for deconta×ating water of carbamazepine, ibuprofen, and paracetamol
