On the example of the Priobskoye oil field of the West Siberian oil and gas province, we show the relevance of studying thin-layered oil-saturated reservoirs, as well as consider the corresponding world experience. The operating principle of a probe system with toroidal sources and receivers is described, after which we perform 2D finite-difference simulation and analysis of its signals in typical geoelectric reservoir models. The dependence of the signals on the resistivity anisotropy coefficient is demonstrated. In realistic geoelectric sections of the Priobskoye field, obtained by numerical inversion of BKZ field data, 2D finite-difference simulation for the system with toroids is conducted. It implies the fundamental possibility of investigating thin-layered electrically anisotropic deposits of the Priobskoye field by means of the system with toroidal sources and receivers.
The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) plays an important role in childbirth, breastfeeding, and social interactions. There is emerging evidence that OXTR is associated with the breast cancer (BC) initiation and progression. However, the mechanisms leading to a change in its expression, the diagnostic or prognostic value of the receptor in BC are currently poorly understood.

Here, we have evaluated the relative level of OXTR expression in BC samples (n=107), and also investigated the effect of estradiol on its expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The level of OXTR expression was significantly lower in breast tumor tissue than in normal tissue obtained from the same patient. The expression of OXTR was dependent on the status and expression of the estrogen receptor (ER): the level of OXTR mRNA was significantly lower in ER-negative BC samples compared to ER-positive BC samples. Moreover, OXTR expression was also lower in samples from patients with luminal subtype with a low value of ER expression (0-5 score according to the IHC assay, Allred scoring) compared with samples with high ER expression (6-8 score). In luminal BC, OXTR expression was associated with the HER2 expression level: the OXTR mRNA level was higher in tumors with a HER2 IHC score of 1+ as compared to cases with the HER2 expression score of 2+, 3+. We also showed that estradiol increased the level of OXTR mRNA in MCF-7 cells, but not in ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cells.

These data indicate that changes in OXTR expression in BC tissues can be caused by increased ER expression. We found no association between OXTR and T or N stages and progesterone receptor expression.
The article presents 3 clinical observations of women of 51, 55 and 57 years old with severe rosacea, who reached the state of remission after a prolonged course of systemic therapy with low doses of isotretinoin. Cumulative dose of isotretinoin for persistent clinical remission was 46.4 mg/kg of weight, 17.6 mg/kg, 12.6 mg/kg respectively. Difficulties related to the subjective perception of patients of his condition has limited the possibility of increasing daily dose of isotretinoin, and the lack of result from the previous therapy with basic medications has made isotretinoin a drug of choice.
The generic status of Lasiopodomys and its division into subgenera Lasiopodomys (L. mandarinus, L. brandtii) and Stenocranius (L. gregalis, L. raddei) are not generally accepted because of contradictions between the morphological and molecular data.

To obtain cytogenetic evidence for the Lasiopodomys genus and its subgenera and to test the autosome to sex chromosome translocation hypothesis of sex chromosome complex origin in L. mandarinus proposed previously, we hybridized chromosome painting probes from the field vole (Microtus agrestis, MAG) and the Arctic lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus, DTO) onto the metaphases of a female Mandarin vole (L. mandarinus, 2n = 47) and a male Brandt's vole (L. brandtii, 2n = 34). In addition, we hybridized Arctic lemming painting probes onto chromosomes of a female narrow-headed vole (L. gregalis, 2n = 36).

Cross-species painting revealed three cytogenetic signatures (MAG12/18, 17a/19, and 22/24) that could validate the genus Lasiopodomys and indicate the evolutionary affinity of L. gregalis to the genus. Moreover, all three species retained the associations MAG1bc/17b and 2/8a detected previously in karyotypes of all arvicolins studied. The associations MAG2a/8a/19b, 8b/21, 9b/23, 11/13b, 12b/18, 17a/19a, and 5 fissions of ancestral segments appear to be characteristic for the subgenus Lasiopodomys. We also validated the autosome to sex chromosome translocation hypothesis on the origin of complex sex chromosomes in L. mandarinus. Two translocations of autosomes onto the ancestral X chromosome in L. mandarinus led to a complex of neo-X1, neo-X2, and neo-X3 elements. Our results demonstrate that genus Lasiopodomys represents a striking example of rapid chromosome evolution involving both autosomes and sex chromosomes. Multiple reshuffling events including Robertsonian fusions, chromosomal fissions, inversions and heterochromatin expansion have led to the formation of modern species karyotypes in a very short time, about 2.4 MY.
A search for decays of the Higgs boson into a pair of new spin-zero particles, H→aa, where the a-bosons decay into a b-quark pair and a muon pair, is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. No significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are placed on the branching ratio (σH/σSM)×B(H→aa→bbμμ), ranging from 1.2×10−4 to 8.4×10−4 in the a-boson mass range of 20–60 GeV. Model-independent limits are set on the visible production cross-section times the branching ratio to the bbμμ final state for new physics, σvis(X)×B(X→bbμμ), ranging from 0.1 fb to 0.73 fb for mμμ between 18 and 62 GeV.
A search is presented for the pair production of heavy vectorlike quarks, $T\overline{T}$ or $B\overline{B}$, that decay into final states with jets and no reconstructed leptons. Jets in the final state are classified using a deep neural network as arising from hadronically decaying $W/Z$ bosons, Higgs bosons, top quarks, or background.

The analysis uses data from the ATLAS experiment corresponding to $36.1\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ delivered by the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. Results are interpreted assuming the vectorlike quarks decay into a Standard Model boson and a third-generation-quark, $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}Wb,Ht,Zt$ or $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}Wt,Hb,Zb$, for a variety of branching ratios.

No significant deviation from the Standard Model expectation is observed. At 95% confidence level, the observed (expected) lower limit on the vectorlike $B$-quark mass for a weak-isospin doublet ($B$, $Y$) is 950 (890) GeV, and the lower limits on the masses for the pure decays $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}Hb$ and $T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}Ht$, where these results are strongest, are 1010 (970) GeV and 1010 (1010) GeV, respectively.
Angular correlations in ${B}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}X(3872){K}^{+}$ decays, with $X(3872)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}J/\ensuremath{\psi}$, ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and $J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, are used to measure orbital angular momentum contributions and to determine the ${J}^{PC}$ value of the $X(3872)$ meson. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector. This determination, for the first time performed without assuming a value for the orbital angular momentum, confirms the quantum numbers to be ${J}^{PC}={1}^{++}$. The $X(3872)$ is found to decay predominantly through an S wave and an upper limit of 4% at 95% C.L. is set on the D-wave contribution.
Background . Recent studies demonstrated immunosuppressive properties of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) and identified VEGF-A as a key mediator of tumor-induced immunosuppression. Placental growth factor (PlGF) is another member of VEGF family in which dramatic elevation is associated with effective immune adaptation in successful pregnancy, whereas low concentrations are related to pregnancy complications resulting from the activation of immune system. Previously, we have shown that activated T cells express VEGF receptor type 1 (VEGFR-1), and PlGF inhibits T cell proliferation in VEGFR-1–dependent manner.

The aim of the present study was to further characterize PlGF effects on T cell responses in vitro . Materials and methods. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors were stimulated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (a-CD3) in the absence or presence of PlGF and assessed for IL-10 production, programmed cell death and the expression of inhibitory receptors (PD-1, CTLA-4, Tim-3) in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets.

Results. The addition of PlGF to PBMC cultures activated with a-CD3 resulted in increased percentages of IL- 10-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Besides, PlGF promoted CD8+ T cells apoptosis while did not affect programmed cell death within CD4+ T cells. Notable, T cell activation with a-CD3 in the presence of PlGF was accompanied by the enhancement of PD-1-expressing cells in CD8+ T cell subset and Tim-3-expressing cells in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and by the increased expression of PD-1 and Tim-3 on T cells. Conclusion. Our in vitro findings indicate that PlGF can inhibit T cell responses due to the increasing interleukin-10 (IL-10) production, promoting CD8+ T cell apoptosis and enhancing the expression of PD-1 and Tim-3 inhibitory receptors. Given the elevated levels of PlGF in successful pregnancy and its decrease in gestation complications, the obtained data also suggest that PlGF-mediated suppression may be implicated into the governing immune evasion in pregnancy.
New triple tungstate phosphors NaPbLa(WO4)3:Yb3+/Ho3+ (x = Yb3+/Ho3+ = 7, 8, 9, 10) are successfully fabricated by microwave assisted sol-gel synthesis and their structural and frequency upconversion (UC) characteristics are investigated. The compounds crystallized in the tetragonal space group I41/a and the NaPbLa(WO4)3 host have unit cell parameters a = 5.3927(1) and c = 11.7961(3) Å , V = 343.05(2) Å 3, Z = 4. Under excitation at 980 nm, the phosphors have yellowish green emissions, which are derived from the intense 5S2/ 5F4 → 5I8 transitions of Ho3+ ions in the green spectral range and strong 5F5 → 5I8 transitions in the red spectral range. The optimal Yb3+:Ho3+ ratio is revealed to be x = 9, which is attributed to the quenching effect of Ho3+ ions, as indicated by the composition dependence. The UC characteristics are evaluated in detail under consideration of the pump power dependence and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity. The spectroscopic features of Raman spectra are discussed in terms of the superposition of Ho3+ luminescence and vibrational lines. The possibility of controlling the spectral distribution of UC luminescence by the chemical content of tungstate hosts is demonstrated.
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) produce global ocean analyses based on the Global Ocean Data Assimilation System (GODAS). This system uses a state of the art ocean general circulation model named moduler ocean model (MOM) and the 3D-Variational (3DVar) data assimilation technique.

In this study we have evaluated the INCOIS-GODAS operational analysis products with an upgrade of the physical model from MOM4p0d to MOM4p1. Two experiments were performed with same atmospheric forcing fields:(i) using MOM4p0d (GODAS_p0), and (ii) using MOM4p1 (GODAS_p1). Observed temperature and salinity profiles were assimilated in both experiments.

Validation with independent observations show improvement of sea surface temperature(SST), sea surface salinity (SSS) and surface currents in the new analysis GODAS_p1 as compared to the old analysis GODAS_p0.
We report results from a search for the decay ${B}_{s}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\eta}$ using $121.4\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data collected at the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}(5S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider.

We do not observe any signal and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of $14.3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ at 90% confidence level.

This result represents a significant improvement over the previous most stringent limit.
We report the genetic analysis of 18 population samples of animals, which were taken from cattle (Bos taurus) breeds of European and Asian origins. The main strength of our study is the use of rare and ancient native cattle breeds: the Altai, Ukrainian Grey, Tagil, and Buryat ones. The cattle samples studied have different production purposes, belong to various eco-geographic regions, and consequently have distinct farming conditions.

In order to clarify the genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and historical origin of the studied breeds, we carried out an analysis of the genetic variation of 14 high-variability microsatellite loci at 1168 genotyped animals.

High levels of heterozygosity and allelic richness were identified in four of the ancient local breeds, namely the Kalmyk, Tagil, Kyrgyz native, and Buryat breeds. The greatest phylogenetic distances from a common ancestor were observed for the Yakut and Ukrainian Grey breeds, while the Tagil breed showed the smallest difference. By using clustering approaches, we found that the Altai cattle is genetically close to the Kyrgyz one. Moreover, both the Altai and Kyrgyz breeds exposed genetic divergences from other representatives of the Turano-Mongolian type and genetic relationships with the Brown Swiss and Kostroma breeds. This phenomenon can be explained by the extensive use of the Brown Swiss and Kostroma breeds in the breeding and improvement processes for the Kyrgyz breeds, which have been involved in the process of keeping the Altai cattle. Our results can be valuable for conservation and management purposes.
Five trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (chdc2−) metal–organic frameworks of transition metals were synthesized in aqueous systems. A careful control of pH, reaction temperature and solvent composition were shown to direct the crystallization of a particular compound.

Isostructural [Co(H2O)4(chdc)]n (1) and [Fe(H2O)4(chdc)]n (2) consist of one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains. Compounds [Cd(H2O)(chdc)]n∙0.5nCH3CN (3), [Mn4(H2O)3(chdc)4]n (4) and [Mn2(Hchdc)2(chdc)]n (5) possess three-dimensional framework structures. The compounds 1, 4 and 5 were further characterized by magnetochemical analysis, which reveals paramagnetic nature of these compounds.

A presence of antiferromagnetic exchange at low temperatures is observed for 5 while the antiferromagnetic coupling in 4 is rather strong, even at ambient conditions. The thermal decompositions of 1, 4 and 5 were investigated and the obtained metal oxide (cubic Co3O4 and MnO) samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
Large amplitude internal solitary waves in a continuously stratified fluid are discussed analytically. Long-wave scaling procedure is used in order to construct approximate plateau-shape solitary waves possessing table-top crests and narrow fronts. Existence of exact solutions is proved near the Boussinesq limit by means of generalized Lyapunov-Schmidt method.
Drosophila melanogaster plays an important role in molecular, genetic, and genomic studies of heredity, development, metabolism, behavior, and human disease. The initial reference genome sequence reported more than a decade ago had a profound impact on progress in Drosophila research, and improving the accuracy and completeness of this sequence continues to be important to further progress.

We previously described improvement of the 117-Mb sequence in the euchromatic portion of the genome and 21 Mb in the heterochromatic portion, using a whole-genome shotgun assembly, BAC physical mapping, and clone-based finishing. Here, we report an improved reference sequence of the single-copy and middle-repetitive regions of the genome, produced using cytogenetic mapping to mitotic and polytene chromosomes, clone-based finishing and BAC fingerprint verification, ordering of scaffolds by alignment to cDNA sequences, incorporation of other map and sequence data, and validation by whole-genome optical restriction mapping.

These data substantially improve the accuracy and completeness of the reference sequence and the order and orientation of sequence scaffolds into chromosome arm assemblies. Representation of the Y chromosome and other heterochromatic regions is particularly improved. The new 143.9-Mb reference sequence, designated Release 6, effectively exhausts clone-based technologies for mapping and sequencing. Highly repeat-rich regions, including large satellite blocks and functional elements such as the ribosomal RNA genes and the centromeres, are largely inaccessible to current sequencing and assembly methods and remain poorly represented. Further significant improvements will require sequencing technologies that do not depend on molecular cloning and that produce very long reads.
Peat is a polar, highly porous material that could have significant applications as an adsorbent for removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Various functional groups in lignin allow such compounds to bind on active sites of peat.

The adsorption of Cu (II) from aqueous solutions on peat from the West Siberia was studied in the concentration range of 10–150 mg/L and time variations of 0.25-12 hours. The pH of the solutions varied over a range of 3.2–4.3.

The adsorption data could be fitted to a Freundlich adsorption isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity of peat was determined to be 2.5⋅10 -3 mmol / g when the initial concentration for Cu 2+ was at its minimum (0.05 mmol / L), and the time of adsorption was 30 minutes.
The channel of singlet oxygen O2((1)Δg) photogeneration from van der Waals complexes of oxygen X-O2 has been investigated to discriminate between two possible mechanisms based on charge-transfer (CT) or double spin-flip (DSF) transitions. The results obtained in this work for complexes with X = ethylene C2H4, 1,3-butadiene C4H6, deuterated methyl iodide CD3I, benzene C6H6 and water H2O and for those investigated previously indicate the DSF mechanism as a source of singlet oxygen. The formation of O2((1)Δg) is observed only when the energy of exciting quantum is sufficient for DSF transition. Universally detected low vibrational excitation of O2((1)Δg) arising in the photodissociation of van der Waals complexes X-O2 indicates the DSF mechanism as its source. For complex of ethylene C2H4-O2ab initio calculations of vertical energy ΔE(vert) for DSF and CT transitions have been carried out. The positive results of singlet oxygen formation from C2H4-O2 can be explained by the DSF but not by the CT mechanism.
Analysis of the frequencies of chromosomes carrying various classes of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) and combinations of these classes was performed in the swine species Sus scrofa L. by using maps constructed in two principal component coordinates. Four population clusters can be recognized in the maps. Cluster 1 is formed by wild boars,cluster 2 by domestic meat breeds, cluster 3 by meat-and-lard (universal) breeds, and cluster 4 by miniature pigs. The maps indicate that modern domesticated swine meat breeds are the closest to the wild type. Meat-and-lard domestic swine breeds are more distant from wild boars, and miniature pigs are diverged the most. The maps showed that microevolution processes associated with PERV carriership frequency had two basic dimensions, or vectors: the vector of fat deposition variation and the "minus" selection vector (determination of commercial traits). Thus, PERVs may cause variation in pig physiology.
In our research 20 benthic samples were collected from small rivers and streams from industrial and nature areas of Novosibirsk region. Benthic invertebrates were fixed at 75% ethanol and identified up to the family taxonomical level at the laboratory. Samples were dried up to stable weight, animals from each taxonomical group were placed at the conductive tape for further investigation.

The analysis was carried out using the μXRF-SR according to the standard certified method at the experimental station "Elemental analysis" in the SCSTR (Budker INP SB RAS). Experimental conditions: excitation energy 21 keV, dimensions of the exciting radiation beam 0.5 mm in height and 10 mm in width of the sample. Measuring time for one point was 100 s. The contents of more than 20 elements, including essential Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, and trace elements Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Pb were determined. The concentration range for essential elements was 150-500000 ppm, for trace elements 0.3–15000 ppm. Scanning was done in two directions – the length and width of the sample animal. The profile of scanning was compared with photos from the electronic microscope.

That gave us an opportunity to find out a specific locus of accumulation of some elements. Results obtained shown patchy spreading distribution of elements in the samples, that could be interpreted by various forms of chemical compounds, which included explored elements. For more complete result 3d scanning with the function of focused X-ray optics could be used.
Low-temperature transport properties of a lateral quantum dot formed by overlaying finger gates in a clean one-dimensional channel are investigated.

Continuous and periodic oscillations superimposed upon ballistic conductance steps are observed, when the conductance G of the dot changes within a wide range 02e^2/h may be due to suppression of inter-1D-subband scattering.

Fully transmitted subbands contribute to coherent background of conductance, while sequential tunneling via weakly transmitted subbands leads to Coulomb charging of the dot.
Acute cerebral ischemia induces distant inflammation in the hippocampus; however, molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon remain obscure.

Here, hippocampal gene expression profiles were compared in two experimental paradigms in rats: middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and intracerebral administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Functional annotation clustering revealed that these genes built the same clusters related to innate immunity/immunity/innate immune response in all MCAO differentially expressed genes and responded to the direct pro-inflammatory stimulus group. The gene ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses also indicate that LPS-responding genes were the most abundant among the genes related to "positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor biosynthetic process", "cell adhesion", "TNF signaling pathway", and "phagosome" as compared with non-responding ones.

The main finding is that 10 genes (Clec5a, CD14, Fgr, Hck, Anxa1, Lgals3, Irf1, Lbp, Ptx3, Serping1) may represent key molecular links underlying acute activation of immune cells in the hippocampus in response to experimental ischemia. In contrast, positive and negative "regulation of cell proliferation" and "HIF-1 signaling pathway" mostly enriched with genes that did not respond to LPS. These results contribute to understanding genomic mechanisms of the impact of immune/inflammatory activation on expression of hippocampal genes after focal brain ischemia.
