As well-known, nucleate boiling is limited from above by the onset of film boiling and from below by the required surface temperature for which a significant number of nucleation centers are activated. The pressure waves arising during film boiling have a significant amplitude, as a result of which special conditions of interphase interactions may occur.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the subcooled water flow boiling on the surface of a metal rod 12 mm in diameter. As a result of the rapid heat release that occurs when an electric current is pulsed through a metal heater, the latter reaches certain temperature levels above the saturation temperature of water at the corresponding pressure ( p = 0.17 MPa). In a system formed by a cold liquid and a heated solid body, the process of intense heat exchange begins, the cooling rate of the metal in which reaches its maximum when the nucleate boiling is realized.

The results of the study showed that self-oscillating pressure pulsations may occur which is associated with the nucleate boiling in an annular channel.
Process of thermal decomposition at different temperatures of the Zr/Ti sol-xerogels, chemically identical but prepared by different methods (mixed and binary), was studied by SAXS/WAXD with the use of synchrotron radiation.

Using the qualitative contrast-variation method it was suggested that primary particle in mixed system consists of Ti nuclear surrounded by Zr atoms in the outer layer and the size of primary particle is about 20 nm. Primary particle in binary system consists of Zr nuclear surrounded by Ti atoms in the outer layer and the size of primary particle is about 5 nm.

Multistage thermal decomposition of the Zr/Ti xerogels proceeds through an intermediate phase formation. The intermediate phase of mixed Zr/Ti sol has an amorphous anatase (TiO2) structure, which is formed presumably inside the primary particle. The intermediate phase of binary Zr/Ti sol has an amorphous structure consisting probably of the disordered metal atoms surrounded by water molecules. The final product of mixed Zr/Ti system with the crystallite size about of 10÷15 nm is formed during the third stage. The final product of binary Zr/Ti system with the crystallite size about of 20÷25 nm is formed during the second and third stages.
Depth estimation has made great progress in the last few years due to its applications in robotics science and computer vision. Various methods have been developed and implemented to estimate the depth, without flickers and missing holes. Despite this progress, it is still one of the main challenges for researchers, especially for the video applications which have more difficulties such as the complexity of the neural network which affects the run time. Moreover to use such input like monocular video for depth estimation is considered an attractive idea, particularly for hand-held devices such as mobile phones, nowadays they are very popular for capturing pictures and videos. Here in this work, we focus on enhancing the existing consistent depth estimation for monocular videos approach to be with less usage of memory and with using less number of parameters without having a significant reduction in the quality of the depth estimation.
Functional MRI was used to map the brains of subjects on-line during the process of media training for the acquisition and improvement of self-regulation mechanisms. The temporal and spatial dynamics of the new neural network formation were studied in real and simulated (false) biofeedback game, and their qualitative characteristics were discussed.

It has been shown that immersion into a virtual competitive game, controlled by physiological responses, causes a wide involvement of the cortices, characterized by a high volume of activation in the mid-temporal, occipital and frontal areas, the cuneus and the precuneus. In both forms of media training, high values of activation volume were identified in the cerebellar structures.
Gorely is one of the most active volcanoes in Kamchatka with a rich magmatic and eruptive history reflected in its composite structure. In 2013–2014, a temporary network of 20 seismic stations was installed on Gorely for one year. During the four months of its high degassing rate, seismic activity was mostly expressed in the form of a long-period (LP) seismic tremor. In this study, we have developed a workflow based on the combination of back-projection (BP), cluster analysis, and matched-filter (MF) methods. By applying it to continuous seismic records for the study period, we were able to identify discrete LP events within the tremor sequence automatically and individually investigate their properties. A catalog obtained using the BP detection algorithm consist of 1741 high-energy events. Cluster analysis revealed that the entire variety of LP earthquakes in this catalog could be grouped into five families, which are sequentially organized in time. Utilizing templates of these families in the MF search resulted in the complementary catalog of 80,615 low-energy events. The long-term occurrence of highly repetitive LP events in the same location may correspond to resonating conduits behaving in response to the high-pressure gases flowing from the decompressed magma chamber up to the volcano’s crater.
Newly synthesised molibdenum diimino clusters interact with alkynes leading to dithiolene species.
Greenbug and Russian wheat aphid (RWA) are two devastating pests of wheat. The first has a long history of new biotype emergence and recently. RWA resistance has just started to break down. Thus, it is necessary to find new sources of resistance that will broaden the genetic base against these pests in wheat.

Seventy‐five doubled haploid recombinant (DHR) lines for chromosome 6A from the F 1 of the cross between "Chinese Spring" and the "Chinese Spring (Synthetic 6A) (Triticum dicoccoides × Aegilops tauschii)" substitution line were used as a mapping population for testing resistance to greenbug biotype C and to a new strain of RWA that appeared in Argentina in 2003.

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) (br antixenosis to greenbug was significantly associated with the marker loci Xgwm1009 and Xgwm1185 located in the centromere region of chromosome 6A. Another QTL which accounted for most of the antixenosis against RWA was associated with the marker loci Xgwm1291 and Xiinni1150. both located on the long arm of chromosome 6A. This is the first report of greenbug and RWA resistance genes located on chromosome 6A. It is also the first report of antixenosis against the new strain of RWA. As most of the RWA resistance genes present in released cultivars have been located in [he D‐ genome, it is highly desirable to find new sources in other genomes to combine the existing resistance genes with new sources.
Comparative analysis of stereotypical behavioral patterns including elements of flexible behavior is presented, with hunting behavior of small mammals as an example. Reactions towards live prey (cockroaches) were investigated in rodents possessing different feeding specialization, in comparison with the insectivorous common shrew.

Quantitative analysis was used, and Markov chains were constructed to generate schemes of stereotypes of hunting behavior in different species.

The characteristic feature of hunting stereotypes in rodents is that after seizing an insect with teeth, they seize and hold it with their forepaws. This is the more evolutionary progressive feature than seizing the prey with teeth only, like shrews do. As schemes of stereotypes and tactics of hunting appeared to be similar in herbivorous narrow-headed voles and granivorous striped field mice, one can assume that these rodents possess specific adaptations to carnivorous life style. Norway rats display the less specialized hunting stereotypes. The studied rodent species demonstrate more primitive hunting stereotypes than specialized hunting rodents; however, their hunting stereotype is rather specific, and this can be considered behavioral adaptation allowing rodents to broaden feeding resources by the use of active hunting towards insects. A suggested scheme of comparative analysis of stereotypical behavior can be used in ethological and psychological studies.
A recent MRI method, fast macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) mapping, was used to quantify demyelination in the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat stroke model.

MPF and other quantitative MRI parameters (T 1 , T 2 , proton density, and apparent diffusion coefficient) were compared with histological and immunohistochemical markers of demyelination (Luxol Fast Blue stain, (LFB)), neuronal loss (NeuN immunofluorescence), axonal loss (Bielschowsky stain), and inflammation (Iba1 immunofluorescence) in three animal groups ( n = 5 per group) on the 1st, 3rd, and 10th day after MCAO.

MPF and LFB optical density (OD) were significantly reduced in the ischemic lesion on all days after MCAO relative to the symmetrical regions of the contralateral hemisphere. Percentage changes in MPF and LFB OD in the ischemic lesion relative to the contralateral hemisphere significantly differed on the first day only. Percentage changes in LFB OD and MPF were strongly correlated (R = 0.81, P < 0.001) and did not correlate with other MRI parameters. MPF also did not correlate with other histological variables. Addition of T 2 into multivariate regression further improved agreement between MPF and LFB OD (R = 0.89, P < 0.001) due to correction of the edema effect. This study provides histological validation of MPF as an imaging biomarker of demyelination in ischemic stroke.
The propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) increases with wavelength, which makes it possible to use radiation from the far-infrared and terahertz ranges to create communication devices employing SPPs as carriers of information. In this paper, we consider methods for implementing the multiplex transmission of information along cylindrical conductors using a combination of SPPs with orbital angular momentum and present experimental setups for the experiments on the Novosibirsk free electron laser.
Presented are the results of numerical experiments on calculation of probability distribution functions (PDFs) for surface elevations of water waves arising during the evolution of statistically homogeneous wave field. Extreme waves or freak waves are an integral part of ocean waving, and PDFs are compared both for nonlinear and linear models. Obviously, linear model demonstrates the Rayleigh distribution of surface elevations while PDFs for nonlinear equation have tails for large elevations similar to Rayleigh distribution, but with much larger σ.
The problem of constructing effective statistical tests for random number generators (RNG) is considered. Currently, there are hundreds of RNG statistical tests that are often combined into so-called batteries, each containing from a dozen to more than one hundred tests.

To reduce this trade-off, we propose an adaptive way to use batteries (and other sets) of tests, which requires less time but, in a certain sense, preserves the power of the original battery. We call this method time-adaptive battery of tests.

When a battery test is used, it is applied to a sequence generated by the RNG, and the calculation time is determined by the length of the sequence and the number of tests. Generally speaking, the longer the sequence, the smaller deviations from randomness can be found by a specific test. So, when a battery is applied, on the one hand, the 'better' tests are in the battery, the more chances to reject a 'bad' RNG. On the other hand, the larger the battery, the less time can be spent on each test and, therefore, the shorter the test sequence. In turn, this reduces the ability to find small deviations from randomness.
It was shown that the application of pressure during consolidation is crucial for the occurrence of graphitization and formation of 3D graphite structures.

We report the formation and phase separation response of nickel-graphite composites with variable-architecture phases by graphitization-accompanied consolidation via Spark Plasma Sintering and hot pressing. Nickel behaved as a space holder with the particle size and spatial distribution changing during consolidation with the temperature and determining the structure of porous graphite formed by phase separation by dissolution in HCl. The response of the consolidated Ni-Cgr to separation of carbon by its burnout in air was studied.

The result of the carbon removal was either the formation of a dense and continuous NiO film on the surface of the compacts or oxidation through the compact thickness. The choice between these two options depended on the density of the compacts and on the presence of carbon dissolved in nickel. It was found that during the burnout of graphite from Ni-Cgr composites, sintering, rather than formation of pores, dominated. We evaluated the suitability of the synthesized composites as precursors for making porous structures.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely applied to analyze the genetic effects on phenotypes. With the availability of high-throughput technologies for metabolite measurements, GWAS successfully identified loci that affect metabolite concentrations and underlying pathways. In most GWAS, the effect of each SNP on the phenotype is assumed to be additive. Other genetic models such as recessive, dominant, or overdominant were considered only by very few studies. In contrast to this, there are theories that emphasize the relevance of nonadditive effects as a consequence of physiologic mechanisms. This might be especially important for metabolites because these intermediate phenotypes are closer to the underlying pathways than other traits or diseases.

In this study we analyzed systematically nonadditive effects on a large panel of serum metabolites and all possible ratios (22,801 total) in a population-based study [Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) F4, N = 1,785]. We applied four different 1-degree-of-freedom (1-df) tests corresponding to an additive, dominant, recessive, and overdominant trait model as well as a genotypic model with two degree-of-freedom (2-df) that allows a more general consideration of genetic effects.

Twenty-three loci were found to be genome-wide significantly associated (Bonferroni corrected P ≤ 2.19 × 10−12) with at least one metabolite or ratio. For five of them, we show the evidence of nonadditive effects. We replicated 17 loci, including 3 loci with nonadditive effects, in an independent study (TwinsUK, N = 846). In conclusion, we found that most genetic effects on metabolite concentrations and ratios were indeed additive, which verifies the practice of using the additive model for analyzing SNP effects on metabolites.
This work is dedicated to the history of Academy in Athens in early and late periods of its existence.I will first consider Academy in the time of Plato and then switch to the Athenian school of Neoplatonism ("the House of Proclus") in the period of late antiquity.Using both archaeological and written evidences, fortunately sufficient in case of both of these institutions, I intend to draw a picture of their physical location and structure.Such an attitude towards the history, typical to the Annales School, will help us to place intellectual life of the ancients in proper everyday context.There is one more reason why I have chosen these objects.One can say that these two institutions represent two different approaches to the way of life and the methods of education.On the one hand, one can see here the evolution of educational system from free discourses to more familiar for our educational system formal instructions.On the other hand, Plato's Academy reminds us of the contemporary tendency of organizing scientific life far from the densely populated cities in the form of university's campuses, which, to some extent, constitutes a return to the classical paradigm.
The processes of the migration and concentration of trace elements during sedimentation in small continental lakes in various landscape zones of the south of Western Siberia have been studied.

We provide a quantitative assessment of the concentration levels and changes in the regional geochemical background of Cd, Hg, Sb, Zn, and Pb in sapropel deposits over the past 200 years.

It was shown that complex natural processes determined by a combination of azonal factors play a fundamental role in the formation of the geochemical and mineral compositions of the bottom sediments of small lakes in various landscape zones in the south of Western Siberia. These consist of: the formation of sedimentary material in the lake catchment depending on the relief, geology, soil, and vegetation cover, as well as anthropogenic influences; the formation of authigenic organic and mineral matter as a result of biological, biochemical, and physicochemical processes; and the deposition of a complex mixture of allochthonous and autochthonous matter at the bottom of a lake, which flows under conditions of prolonged ice formation (anaerobic conditions).
The Ni2P/SiO2 catalyst, which was prepared by in situ temperature-programmed reduction and in the mixture with the inert (SiC, SiO2) or acidic (γ-Al2O3) material was studied in methyl palmitate hydrodeoxygenation (HDO).

Methyl palmitate HDO was carried out at temperatures of 270–330 °C, H2/feed volume ratio of 600 Nm3/m3, and H2 pressure of 3.0 MPa. Ni2P/SiO2 catalyst, diluted with γ-Al2O3 showed a higher activity than Ni2P/SiO2 catalyst diluted with SiC or SiO2. The conversion of methyl palmitate increased significantly in the presence of γ-Al2O3 most probably due to the acceleration of the acid-catalyzed reaction of ester hydrolysis. The synergism of Ni2P/SiO2 and γ-Al2O3 in methyl palmitate HDO can be explained by the cooperation of the metal sites of Ni2P/SiO2 and the acid sites of γ-Al2O3 in consecutive metal-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed reactions of HDO.

The obtained results let us conclude that the balancing of metal and acid sites plays an important role in the development of the efficient catalyst for the HDO of fatty acid esters over supported phosphide catalysts.
The article describes the legal and technical tools used to change the types of permitted use and categories of agricultural land. The article is written on the materials of the Novosibirsk region. The authors analyze the positive and negative trends associated with these processes. The conclusion is drawn on the need for a technical justification for such changes in priority over legal.
We present the first model-independent measurement of the absolute branching fraction of the Λ(c)(+) → pK(-)π(+) decay using a data sample of 978 fb(-1) collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. The number of Λ(c)(+) baryons is determined by reconstructing the recoiling D((*)-) pπ(+) system in events of the type e(+)e(-) → D((*)-) pπ(+)Λ(c)(+). The branching fraction is measured to be B(Λ(c)(+) → pK(-)π(+)) = (6.84 ± 0.24(-0.27)(+0.21))%, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
Air quality monitoring systems differ in composition and accuracy of observations and their temporal and spatial coverage. A monitoring system’s performance can be assessed by evaluating the accuracy of the emission sources identified by its data.

In the considered inverse modeling approach, a source identification problem is transformed to a quasi-linear operator equation with the sensitivity operator. The sensitivity operator is composed of the sensitivity functions evaluated on the adjoint ensemble members. The members correspond to the measurement data element aggregates. Such ensemble construction allows working in a unified way with heterogeneous measurement data in a single-operator equation. The quasi-linear structure of the resulting operator equation allows both solving and predicting solutions of the inverse problem. Numerical experiments for the Baikal region scenario were carried out to compare different types of inverse problem solution accuracy estimates. In the considered scenario, the projection to the orthogonal complement of the sensitivity operator’s kernel allowed predicting the source identification results with the best accuracy compared to the other estimate types.

Our contribution is the development and testing of a sensitivity-operator-based set of tools for analyzing heterogeneous air quality monitoring systems. We propose them for assessing and optimizing observational systems and experiments.
This study aims to help non-expert geologists in locating, classifying and analyzing lamprophyres, the exotic and complex rocks. The process includes three basic steps, a macroscopic study of the formation, petrographic microscopy and lastly whole-rock and trace element analyses of the samples. Fourteen Greek lamprophyric rocks with distinct characteristics were used. Conventional lamprophyres were considered along with rarer alkali minettes, meta-lamprophyres, lamproschists, appinites and para-lamproites.
— We have studied the dynamics of the appearance of cells reacting positively with anti‐S‐100 protein antiserum, during postnatal neurocytogenesis in the brain of rats of two strains differing in their susceptibility to sound stimuli. The postnatal time of appearance of cells reacting positively with anti‐S‐100 protein antiserum was somewhat later in rats susceptible to sound‐induced seizures than in sound‐resistant rats. These differences concerned mainly the cerebral cortex of 12‐day‐old rats. By day 21 of postnatal life these differences had disappeared. In subcortical structures of the brain, S‐100 protein was first found on the 4th to the 5th day of life and the rate of appearance of cells containing this protein was similar in the two strains.
This review fills an apparent gap existing in the literature by providing an overview of the readily available terpenes and existing catalytic protocols for preparation of terpene-derived amines. To address the role of solid catalysts in amination of terpenes the same reactions with homogeneous counterparts are also discussed. Such catalysts can be considered as a benchmark, which solid catalysts should match.

Although catalytic systems based on transition metal complexes have been developed for synthesis of amines to a larger extent, there is an apparent need to reduce the production costs. Subsequently, homogenous systems based on cheaper metals operating by nucleophilic substitution (e.g., Ni, Co, Cu, Fe) with a possibility of easy recycling, as well as metal nanoparticles (e.g., Pd, Au) supported on amphoteric oxides should be developed.

These catalysts will allow synthesis of amine derivatives of terpenes which have a broad range of applications as specialty chemicals (e.g., pesticides, surfactants, etc.) and pharmaceuticals. The review will be useful in selection and design of appropriate solid materials with tailored properties as efficient catalysts for amination of terpenes.
Over the decades, the application of mechanical force to influence chemical reactions has been called by various names: mechanochemistry, tribochemistry, mechanical alloying, to name but a few. The evolution of these terms has largely mirrored the understanding of the field.

But what is meant by these terms, why have they evolved, and does it really matter how a process is called? Which parameters should be defined to describe unambiguously the experimental conditions such that others can reproduce the results, or to allow a meaningful comparison between processes explored under different conditions? Can the information on the process be encoded in a clear, concise, and self-explanatory way?

We address these questions in this Opinion contribution, which we hope will spark timely and constructive discussion across the international mechanochemical community.
