Tendencies and prospects of public-private partnership development in the field of physical culture and sport

Attraction of supplementary sources of funding into the sphere of the physical culture and sport (PhCS) is an acute issue in the Russian economy as well as in the countries with higher economic potential. In this connection, the authors of the article consider the public-private partnership (PPP) to be a perspective form of cooperation between the state and the private sector in the aspect of financing of the PhCS development. The article provides the statistic data on the PhCS financing and examines the options of investment return by the private partner that depend on the concrete scheme of the PPP project implementation: further exploitation of the object by the public or the private partner. The authors of the article summarize the foreign experience in the field of support and implementation of the PPP projects in the sports industry and suggest adopting the most effective, tried models of financing, that would allow making comparative evaluation and revision of the current practice of the project financing in Russia, and furthermore would lead to diversification of the services rendered.peer-reviewe

Using WRF mesoscale model to restore temperature profile in atmosphere boundary layer in Tomsk

In the paper, the possible use of a WRF mesoscale model for the detailed restoring of a temperature profile in the atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) during winter anticyclone is studied. The correctness of air temperature modeling as well as the possible use of a WRF model for predicting a vertical temperature distribution was show

Immobilization of organic reagents on optically transparent mesoporous polymers and its analytical use

© 2015 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Sorption of organic reagents Arsenazo III and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol onto optically transparent mesoporous polymers prepared from macroinitiators and toluene 2,4-diisocyanate was studied. The possibility of preconcentration of organic reagents and their complexation with Cu(II) and Ca(II) ions in the polymer pore voids was demonstrated. Experiments on spectrophotometric analysis using the polymeric support showed that the lower limit of determination was 20 μg mL-1 for Ca(II) and 2 μg mL-1 for Cu(II)

Synthesis and properties of novel polyurethanes based on amino ethers of boric acid for gas separation membranes

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. Herein we present the structural and mechanical properties of polyurethanes synthesized from amino ethers of boric acid for gas separation. The polymers were characterized by light scattering methods, conductivity measurements, thermal gravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Additionally, the permeability of ammonia and carbon dioxide, as well as the selectivity for their diffusion and resultant impurity are presented. The results illustrate the steric hindrance, resulting in a branched architecture borate formation, leads to intermolecular complexation which may assist the polymer in ammonia diffusion selectivity

The effect of microporous polymeric support modification on surface and gas transport properties of supported ionic liquid membranes

© 2015 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Microporous polymers based on anionic macroinitiator and toluene 2,4-diisocyanate were used as a support for 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([emim][Tf2N]) immobilization. The polymeric support was modified by using silica particles associated in oligomeric media, and the influence of the modifier used on the polymeric structure was studied. The supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) were tested for He, N2, NH3, H2S, and CO2 gas separation and ideal selectivities were calculated. The high values of ideal selectivity for ammonia-based systems with permanent gases were observed on polymer matrixes immobilized with [bmim][PF6] and [emim][Tf2N]. The modification of SILMs by nanosize silica particles leads to an increase of NH3 separation relatively to CO2 or H2S

The comparative analysis of obtained results is carried out. The correlation of the surface topography of studied membranes with their gas separation properties is shown.Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке Российского научного фонда в рамках проекта № 15-19-10057

Transcriptional Profiling of the Dose Response: A More Powerful Approach for Characterizing Drug Activities

The dose response curve is the gold standard for measuring the effect of a drug treatment, but is rarely used in genomic scale transcriptional profiling due to perceived obstacles of cost and analysis. One barrier to examining transcriptional dose responses is that existing methods for microarray data analysis can identify patterns, but provide no quantitative pharmacological information. We developed analytical methods that identify transcripts responsive to dose, calculate classical pharmacological parameters such as the EC50, and enable an in-depth analysis of coordinated dose-dependent treatment effects. The approach was applied to a transcriptional profiling study that evaluated four kinase inhibitors (imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib and PD0325901) across a six-logarithm dose range, using 12 arrays per compound. The transcript responses proved a powerful means to characterize and compare the compounds: the distribution of EC50 values for the transcriptome was linked to specific targets, dose-dependent effects on cellular processes were identified using automated pathway analysis, and a connection was seen between EC50s in standard cellular assays and transcriptional EC50s. Our approach greatly enriches the information that can be obtained from standard transcriptional profiling technology. Moreover, these methods are automated, robust to non-optimized assays, and could be applied to other sources of quantitative data
