The research of the maximum wind speed in Tomsk and calculations of dynamic load on antenna systems

The work is concerned with calculations and analysis of the maximum wind speed in Tomsk city. The data for analysis were taken from the TOR-station located in the north-eastern part of the city. The TOR-station sensors to measure a speed and a direction of wind are installed on the 10-meter meteorological mast. Wind is measured by M-63, which uses the standard approach and the program with one-minute averaging for wind gusts recording as well. According to the measured results in the research performed, the estimation of the dynamic and wind load on different types of antenna systems was performed. The work shows the calculations of wind load on ten types of antenna systems, distinguished by their different constructions and antenna areas. For implementation of calculations, we used methods developed in the Central Research and Development Institute of Building Constructions named after V.A. Kucherenko. The research results could be used for design engineering of the static antenna systems and mobile tracking systems for the distant objects

Comparative analysis of the genomic diversity of SARS-COV-₂ circulating in the territories of the Rostov region and the republic of Crimea in the period from March to June 2021

Objective: To compare the genomic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 strains that were spread in the Rostov region and the Republic of Crimea in the period from March to June 2021.Materials and Methods: A total of 194 samples were sequenced and 186 genovariants were recognized among them using the Pangolin program. Multiple alignment was performed and dendrograms were constructed for the samples belonging to the alpha and delta genovariants.Results: Changes of the predominant genovariants were revealed for territories of the Rostov Region and the Republic of Crimea from March to June. An increasing percent of the alpha variant was observed in both regions during the spring followed by the rapid emergence of the delta variant, which became predominant in June.Conclusion: It was shown that alpha variant samples from the Rostov region share a pool of common mutations, while in contrast, alpha variant samples from the Republic of Crimea are closer to those sampled from Moscow and Moscow region. At the end of May, the delta gene variant begins to be revealed, which is rapidly replacing other lines in all the territories considered in this study

Put forward was operational protocol as regards Rospotrebnadzor institutions policies in the territory of the Jewish Autonomous Region for the prevention of epidemiological implications during the post-flooding period in reference to infectious diseases. Carried out were control measures over infection morbidity rate, drinking water quality, disinfection of water supply sources, as well as sewage systems. Actions undertaken made it possible to prevent cluster cases of infectious diseases both in the flooded areas and at the temporal accommodation sites; to provide control over acute intestinal and natural-focal disease incidence, keeping it to the level of long-term average annual indexes; and to supply the population with drinking water of high quality

Хеликобактериоз: изменения слизистой оболочки при нарушении двигательных функций (моторики) в гастроэзофагальной и дуоденогастральной зонах желудка

The morphological changes in the gastric mucosa in the presence of duodenogastric reflux and refluxesophagitis and their connection with the presence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection are studied. The endoscopic and histological examination of the stomach antral part was performed in 1251 patients with different gastroduodenal pathologies. HP was diagnosed by histological and real-time PCR methods. Among patients with different gastroduodenal pathologies the frequency of H. pylori infection was 77.9 %. Duodenogastric reflux was detected in 23.9 % of patients. In the presence of duodenogastric reflux, we have found a decrease in the risk of duodenal ulcer by a factor of 2.5, thus duodenogastric reflux may protect against the development of duodenal ulcer. In patients with duodenogastric reflux in the presence of H. pylori infection, significant differences from the group uninfected of Helicobacter pylori were found in the metaplasia frequency. A significant increase in the frequency of foveolar hyperplasia among patients with duodenogastric reflux was revealed. The prevalence of reflux-esophagitis in the study group was 8.3 %. No increased risk in reflux-esophagitis was observed either in the HP-positive or HP-negative cases. According to our finding, duodenogastric reflux was characterized by foveolar hyperplasia and metaplasia. We suggest that the presence or absence of H. pylori does not affect reflux-esophagitis.я. Определяли характер морфологических изменений слизистой оболочки желудка при нарушении двигательных функций в гастроэзофагеальной и дуоденогастральной зонах и их связь с инфицированием Helicobacter pylori (HP). Обследование 1251 человека с заболеваниями желудочно-кишечного тракта включало гастродуоденоскопию, тестирование на НР, гистологические исследования состояния слизистой желудка. Наличие НР в биопсийном материале подтверждали гистологическим методом и ПЦР в режиме реального времени. Установлено, что в исследуемой группе пациентов с воспалительными заболеваниями верхнего отдела ЖКТ частота выявления H. pylori составила 77,9 %. Среди обследованных пациентов доля случаев с дуоденогастральным рефлюксом (ДГР) составила 23,9 %. Полученные данные указывают на возможную протективную роль ДГР в отношении развития язвы двенадцатиперстной кишки (ДПК), что подтверждается снижением риска развития язвы ДПК у пациентов с ДГР в 2,5 раза (ОШ = 0,4) по сравнению с пациентами с хроническим гастритом в анамнезе без ДГР. Установлено достоверное повышение частоты выявления кишечной метаплазии у пациентов с ДГР и хеликобактерной инфекцией по сравнению с группой не инфицированных пациентов с ДГР. Выявлено достоверное увеличение частоты фовеолярной гиперплазии среди пациентов с ДГР. Частота обнаружения рефлюкс-эзофагита в обследованной группе пациентов составила 8,3 %. Показано, что частота выявления рефлюкс-эзофагита не зависит от наличия или отсутствия у пациента НР, таким образом НР-инфицирование скорее всего не влияет на развитие рефлюкс-эзофагита

Background free search for neutrinoless double beta decay with GERDA Phase II

The Standard Model of particle physics cannot explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our Universe. In many model extensions this is a very natural consequence of neutrinos being their own anti-particles (Majorana particles) which implies that a lepton number violating radioactive decay named neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay should exist. The detection of this extremely rare hypothetical process requires utmost suppression of any kind of backgrounds. The GERDA collaboration searches for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay of $^{76}$Ge (^{76}\rm{Ge} \rightarrow\,^{76}\rm{Se} + 2e^-) by operating bare detectors made from germanium with enriched $^{76}$Ge fraction in liquid argon. Here, we report on first data of GERDA Phase II. A background level of $\approx10^{-3}$ cts/(keV$\cdot$kg$\cdot$yr) has been achieved which is the world-best if weighted by the narrow energy-signal region of germanium detectors. Combining Phase I and II data we find no signal and deduce a new lower limit for the half-life of $5.3\cdot10^{25}$ yr at 90 % C.L. Our sensitivity of $4.0\cdot10^{25}$ yr is competitive with the one of experiments with significantly larger isotope mass. GERDA is the first $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiment that will be background-free up to its design exposure. This progress relies on a novel active veto system, the superior germanium detector energy resolution and the improved background recognition of our new detectors. The unique discovery potential of an essentially background-free search for $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay motivates a larger germanium experiment with higher sensitivity.Comment: 14 pages, 9 figures, 1 table; ; data, figures and images available at http://www.mpi-hd.mpg/gerda/publi

Limits on uranium and thorium bulk content in GERDA Phase I detectors

Internal contaminations of $^{238}$U, $^{235}$U and $^{232}$Th in the bulk of high purity germanium detectors are potential backgrounds for experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge. The data from GERDA Phase~I have been analyzed for alpha events from the decay chain of these contaminations by looking for full decay chains and for time correlations between successive decays in the same detector. No candidate events for a full chain have been found. Upper limits on the activities in the range of a few nBq/kg for $^{226}$Ra, $^{227}$Ac and $^{228}$Th, the long-lived daughter nuclides of $^{238}$U, $^{235}$U and $^{232}$Th, respectively, have been derived. With these upper limits a background index in the energy region of interest from $^{226}$Ra and $^{228}$Th contamination is estimated which satisfies the prerequisites of a future ton scale germanium double beta decay experiment.Comment: 2 figures, 7 page

Results on ββ\beta\beta decay with emission of two neutrinos or Majorons in 76^{76}Ge from GERDA Phase I

A search for neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay processes accompanied with Majoron emission has been performed using data collected during Phase I of the GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN (Italy). Processes with spectral indices n = 1, 2, 3, 7 were searched for. No signals were found and lower limits of the order of 10$^{23}$ yr on their half-lives were derived, yielding substantially improved results compared to previous experiments with $^{76}$Ge. A new result for the half-life of the neutrino-accompanied $\beta\beta$ decay of $^{76}$Ge with significantly reduced uncertainties is also given, resulting in $T^{2\nu}_{1/2} = (1.926 \pm 0.095)\cdot10^{21}$ yr.Comment: 3 Figure
