Here we report a pilot-sized study to compare the taxonomic composition of sputum microbiome in 17 newly-diagnosed lung cancer (LC) patients and 17 controls. Another object was to compare the representation of individual bacterial genera and species in sputum with the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the blood lymphocytes of LC patients and in controls. Both groups were male; average age 56.1 ± 11.5 in patients and 55.7 ± 4.1 in controls. Differences in the species composition of bacterial communities in LC patients and controls were significant (pseudo-F = 1.94; p = 0.005). Increased prevalence in LC patients was detected for the genera Haemophilus and Bergeyella ; whereas a decrease was observed for the genera Atopobium , Stomatobaculum , Treponema and Porphyromonas . Donors with high frequencies of chromosomal aberrations had a significant reduction in the microbiome of representatives of the genus Atopobium in the microbiome and a simultaneous increase in representatives of the species Alloprevotella compared to donors with a low level of chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes. Thus, a comparison of the bacterial composition in the sputum of donors with cytogenetic damages in theirs lymphocytes, warrants further investigations on the potential role of microorganisms in the process of mutagenesis in somatic cells of the host body.
Construction of the 4+ generation Siberian circular photon source (SKIF synchrotron) has started in Novosibirsk. It will initially be equipped with six research workstations. For two stations, synchrotron radiation is generated by superconducting wigglers, whose radiation power approaches 49 kW, and the power density on the axis is 92 kW/mrad 2 . Most of the optical devices of the stations operate in a vacuum. The high energy density of the synchrotron beamline and the requirements for the values of thermal deformations lead to difficult conditions for the thermal management of optical elements. The article provides an overview of the applied and promising cooling systems; an example of a 3D calculation of a thermal diamond filter of workstation 1-5 is given, the limit for the thermal load of the filter, at which the temperature of the diamond plate will not exceed 600 °C, is estimated.
Oedaleus decorus is a widely distributed acridid over the Eurasian semi-arid territories, from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. In many semi-arid territories, O. decorus was and is the most important pest, but in the south-eastern part of West Siberian Plain, it was not considered a pest until the 1960s.

We compared two sets of data on the acridid distribution in the region: before 1960 and from 1961 until 2021.

Until the 1960s, the species occurred mainly in the southern steppes. Since the 1960s, its distribution changed significantly. Nowadays, it occupies almost all local steppes and the southern part of the forest-steppes and can be also found on the eastern side of the Ob River. These shifts may be explained by both climatic changes and changes in human activities. During upsurges the densities of O. decorus were often more than one to two adults per square meter. It is often abundant in the same habitats and in the same periods as the Italian locust (Calliptamus italicus)-one of the most important acridid pests. This means during joint outbreaks these two species can simultaneously damage almost all spectrum of plants.
We report a novel bioluminescent aptasensor, which consists of 2'-F-RNA aptamer modules joined into a bi-specific aptamer construct.

One aptamer module binds the analyte, then after structural rearrangement the second module recruits non-covalently Ca2+-dependent photoprotein obelin from the solution, thus providing a bioluminescent signal. This concept allows using free protein as a reporter, which brings such advantages as no need for aptamer-protein conjugation, a possibility of thermal re-folding of aptamer component with no harm to a protein, and simpler detection protocol. We developed the new 2'-F-RNA aptamer for obelin, and proposed the strategy for engineering structure-switching bi-modular aptamer constructs which bind the analyte and the obelin in a sequential manner.

With the use of hemoglobin as a model analyte, we showed the feasibility of utilizing the aptasensor in a fast and straightforward bioluminescent microplate assay. With a proper design of a secondary structure, this strategy of aptasensor engineering might be further extended to bi-specific aptamer-based bioluminescent sensors for other analytes of interest.
Two-phase Cryogenic Avalanche Detectors (CRADs) with THGEM multipliers, optically read out with Geiger-mode APDs (GAPDs), were proposed as potential technique for charge recording in rare-event experiments. In this work we report on the degradation of the GAPD performance at cryogenic temperatures revealed in the course of the study of two-phase CRAD in Ar, with combined THGEM/GAPD-matrix multiplier; the GAPDs recorded secondary scintillation photons from the THGEM holes in the Near Infrared. The degradation effect, namely the loss of the GAPD pulse amplitude, depended on the incident X-ray photon flux. The critical counting rate of photoelectrons produced at the 4.4 mm2 GAPD, degrading its performance at 87 K, was estimated as 10000 per second. This effect was shown to result from the considerable increase of the pixel quenching resistor of this CPTA-made GAPD type. Though not affecting low-rate rare-event experiments, the observed effect may impose some limitations on the performance of CRADs with GAPD-based optical readout at higher-rate applications.
The objective of this research is to develop and to study iterative methods in the Krylov subspaces for solving systems of linear algebraic equations (SLAEs) with non-symmetric sparse matrices of high orders arising in the approximation of multi-dimensional boundary value problems on the unstructured grids. These methods are also relevant in many applications, including diffusion-convection equations.

The considered algorithms are based on constructing A T A — orthogonal direction vectors calculated using short recursions and providing global minimization of a residual at each iteration. Methods based on the Lanczos orthogonalization, A T — preconditioned conjugate residuals algorithm, as well as the left Gauss transform for the original SLAEs are implemented. In addition, the efficiency of these iterative processes is investigated when solving algebraic preconditioned systems using an approximate factorization of the original matrix in the Eisenstat modification.

The results of a set of computational experiments for various grids and values of convective coefficients are presented, which demonstrate a sufficiently high efficiency of the approaches under consideration.
In many cases, stress reactivity is one of the important bases of aggressive behavior. It appears as if reduced stress reactivity underlies an abrupt decrease in aggression towards man in domesticated animals. However, the mechanisms of this reduction have yet to be resolved. In this work, we used an experimental domestication model, the silver fox selected for many years for the response to humans to study cortisol stress reactivity in tame and aggressive foxes in response to immobilization in human arms. Additionally, these behavioral fox groups were explored for one of the important mechanisms of glucocorticoid negative feedback, the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) in a portion of the dorsal hippocampus. In recent years, attention has been paid to differences in miRNA expression patterns between animals with different behavior and stress reactivity, as well as to miRNA regulation under stress. The same applies to NR3C1 mRNA as well. That is why we performed a miRNA-seq analysis on a portion of the fox dorsal hippocampus. It has been demonstrated that immobilization in human arms leads to significantly higher stressinduced cortisol levels in aggressive than tame foxes. At the same time, no differences have been found between hippocampal NR3C1 gene expression and the pattern of miRNA expression. Thus, reduced stress reactivity in foxes during selection for the absence of aggressive responses and for the presence of emotionally positive responses to humans does not seem to be associated with important mechanisms of regulation such as alterations in hippocampal NR3C1 gene expression or microRNA-mediated silencing.
This paper reports the development of new phosphors using the chemical unit cosubstituting solid solution design strategy.
The thermal roughening of epitaxial GaAs film surface is studied under anneals at temperatures 700-775 °C in the presence of a saturated Ga-As melt.

Surface roughening consists in the formation of spiral 'inverted pyramids' on the initially flat surface due to the step-flow sublimation induced by screw dislocations.

The observed roughening indicates that, despite the presence of As and Ga vapors provided by the melt, the annealing conditions are shifted from equilibrium towards sublimation.
This Letter presents a search at the LHC for s-channel single top-quark production in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The analyzed data set was recorded by the ATLAS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1. Selected events contain one charged lepton, large missing transverse momentum and exactly two b-tagged jets. A multivariate event classifier based on boosted decision trees is developed to discriminate s-channel single top-quark events from the main background contributions. The signal extraction is based on a binned maximum-likelihood fit of the output classifier distribution. The analysis leads to an upper limit on the s-channel single top-quark production cross-section of 14.6 pb at the 95% confidence level. The fit gives a cross-section of σs=5.0±4.3pb, consistent with the Standard Model expectation.

We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics.

Among the 118 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on Neutrinos in Cosmology. Starting with this edition, the Review is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Summary Tables and all review articles. Volume 2 consists of the Particle Listings. Review articles that were previously part of the Listings are now included in volume 1.
Raman lasing in a graded-index fiber (GIF) attracts now great deal of attention due to the opportunity to convert high-power multimode laser diode radiation into the Stokes wave with beam quality improvement based on the Raman clean-up effect.

Here we report on the cascaded Raman generation of the 2nd Stokes order in the 1.1-km long GIF with 100-μm core directly pumped by 915-nm diodes. In the studied all-fiber scheme, the 1st Stokes order is generated at 950-954 nm in a linear cavity formed at GIF ends by two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs)

Viroids belong to a very interesting class of molecules attracting researchers in phytopathology and molecular evolution. Here we review recent literature data concerning the genetics of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) and the mechanisms related to its pathological effect on the host plants. PSTVd can be transmitted vertically through microspores and macrospores, but not with pollen from another infected plant. The 359 nucleotidelong genomic RNA of PSTVd is highly structured and its 3D-conformation is responsible for interaction with host cellular factors to mediate replication, transport between tissues during systemic infection and the severity of pathological symptoms. RNA replication is prone to errors and infected plants contain a population of mutated forms of the PSTVd genome. Interestingly, at 7 DAI, only 25 % of the newly synthesized RNAs were identical to the master copy, but this proportion increased to up to 70 % at 14 DAI and remained the same afterwards. PSTVd infection induces the immune response in host plants. There are PSTVd strains with a severe, a moderate or a mild pathological effect. Interestingly, viroid replication itself does not necessarily induce strong morphological or physiological symptoms. In the case of PSTVd, disease symptoms may occur due to RNA-interference, which decreases the expression levels of some important cellular regulatory factors, such as, for example, potato StTCP23 from the gibberellic acid pathway with a role in tuber morphogenesis or tomato FRIGIDA-like protein 3 with an early flowering phenotype. This association between the small segments of viroid genomic RNAs complementary to the untranslated regions of cellular mRNAs and disease symptoms provides a way for new resistant cultivars to be developed by genetic editing. To conclude, viroids provide a unique model to reveal the fundamental features of living systems, which appeared early in evolution and still remain undiscovered.
Aim . To assess the clinical, biochemical, and genetic risk factors for the development of hepatocyte cytolysis syndrome in patients with a combination of fatty liver disease and recrudescence of chronic cardiovascular pathology. Material and methods . The study included 74 patients with chronic cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, hypertension) treated in the cardiology department of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences with a normal baseline transaminase level (AST and ALT); 12 of them have increasing of transaminase level on 10-12 days. All patients underwent therapeutic and diagnostic procedures in accordance with the medical standards in Russian Federation. Genotyping of polymorphic loci of the genes of the cytochrome P450 family was carried out using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results . There was no significant correlation between cytolysis syndrome and phenotypic characteristics: gender, age, body mass index. A positive correlation of fatty liver disease with abdominal obesity and body mass index was confirmed. There was no significant correlation between cytolysis syndrome and clinical and biochemical risk factors: comorbidity and lipid profile. The presence of minor minor allele of cytochrome P-450 — CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19 genes in a patient with fatty liver disease increases the risk of cytolysis syndrome during CVD therapy. Conclusion . Pharmacogenetic testing of polymorphic variants of cytochrome P-450 — CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19 genes is advisable to recommend to patients with cardiovascular diseases and high-risk of liver disorders for a personalized approach to therapy.
The Mott scattering of high-energetic twisted electrons by atoms is investigated within the framework of the first Born approximation and Dirac's relativistic equation.

Special emphasis is placed on the angular distribution and longitudinal polarization of the scattered electrons. In order to evaluate these angular and polarization properties we consider two experimental setups in which the twisted electron beam collides with either a single well-localized atom or macroscopic atomic target. Detailed relativistic calculations have been performed for both setups and for the electrons with kinetic energy from 10 to 1000 keV.

The results of these calculations indicate that the emission pattern and polarization of outgoing electrons differ significantly from the scattering of plane-wave electrons and can be very sensitive to the parameters of the incident twisted beam. In particular, it is shown that the angular- and polarization-sensitive Mott measurements may reveal valuable information about both the transverse and longitudinal components of the linear momentum and the projection of the total angular momentum of twisted electron states. Thus, the Mott scattering emerges as a diagnostic tool for the relativistic vortex beams.
Introduction: local treatment of metastases is an integral part of colon cancer treatment. However, there is not enough data on the efficacy of surgical resection of metastases in patients with a BRAF gene mutation to recom‑mend this approach in routine practice. We initiated a retrospective multicenter study to assess the incidence of BRAF gene mutations in patients with metastatic colon cancer and to study the efficacy of metastasectomy in this group of patients. Materials and methods: we selected all patients who underwent surgical resection of metastases in various sites from the database of patients with BRAF gene mutations created as a result of a multicenter retrospective study with participation of 7 clinics in the Russian Federation. All 57 patients with RAS gene mutations and 43 patients with wild‑type RAS and BRAF genes who also underwent surgical resection of metastases at any stage of treatment were selected from the register of the Chemotherapy Department No. 2 of the NMRC of Oncology named after N. N. Blokhin for comparative analysis. Disease‑free survival and overall survival were used as primary efficacy criteria. Results: we found 26 patients with BRAF gene mutations who underwent surgical resection of metastases. When comparing disease‑free survival, the worst median was achieved in the group of patients with BRAF gene mutations: 7 months versus 14 months in patients with RAS gene mutations (HR 0.4, 94 % CI 0.23–0.7, P = 0.006); median disease‑free survival was not achieved in the wild‑type RAS and BRAF group (HR 0.2, 95 % CI 0.11–0.45, P <0.001). The median overall survival in the BRAF gene mutation group was 26 months versus 38 months in the RAS gene mutations group (HR 0.8, 95 % CI 0.33–1.98, P = 0.6) and 49 months in the wtRAS/wtBRAF group (RR 0.46, 95 % CI 0.17–1.24, P = 0.1). Resection of recurrent tumors in patients with metastases in retroperitoneal lymph nodes was associated with extremely low disease‑free survival (2 months); at the same time, disease‑free survival was 7 months after resection of isolated metastases in the liver and 8 months for metastases in the peritoneum. Conclusion: prognosis of patients with a BRAF gene mutation after surgical resection of metastases is worse than in patients with a different mutation phenotype. Nevertheless, literature data, as well as the results of our study, confirm the possibility of performing metastasectomy with careful selection of patients.
The thymidine derivatives araAzT, dTTP(3'N3), TTP(3'NH2), and araTTP(3'N3), were studied as inhibitors of the reverse transcription taking place within endogenous retroviral A-type particles, where retroviral RNAs served as templates and primers, dTTP(3'N3) was shown to be the most efficient inhibitor of retroviral particle reverse transcription. Termination of DNA chain elongation is the basic mechanism of the inhibitory action of dTTP(3'N3). The compound has a very low inhibitory effect on mammalian DNA-dependent DNA polymerases alpha, beta and gamma.
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-}$ using data from the BABAR experiment. The data sample, collected at the center-of-mass energy of the $Υ{(4S)}$ resonance, corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 424 fb$^{-1}$ and to 471 million $B\overline{B}$ pairs. We reconstruct one $B$ meson, produced in the $Υ{(4S)}\rightarrow B^{+} B^{-}$ decay, in one of many hadronic decay modes and search for activity compatible with a $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+} τ^{+}τ^{-}$ decay in the rest of the event. Each $τ$ lepton is required to decay leptonically into an electron or muon and neutrinos. Comparing the expected number of background events with the data sample after applying the selection criteria, we do not find evidence for a signal. The measured branching fraction is ($1.31^{+0.66}_{-0.61}$( stat.)$^{+0.35}_{-0.25}$( sys.)$) \times 10^{-3}$ with an upper limit, at the 90\% confidence level, of $\mathcal{B}(B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}τ^{+}τ^{-})$$< 2.25\times 10^{-3}$.
The authors discuss the problem of the integration approach to artificial intelligence, analyzing the content and positive aspects of the integration agent approach. It is noted that this approach implicitly follows the task approach. It also discusses the classification of intellectual problems into direct, inverse, and hybrid. It is noted that modern artificial intelligence focuses mainly on solving direct and inverse problems, leaving a huge and important class of hybrid problems outside its scope of attention.

The paper gives answers to the questions that make up the essence of the task approach - where do the tasks come from, what is the task, what should be considered a solution to the problem. The paper describes the theoretical model approach to solving the whole variety of intellectual problems, called semantic modeling. It analyzes the advantages of the proposed conception, including the possibility of a flexible combination when solving hybrid problems of tools already created in artificial intelligence.

It also discusses the problem of creating a 'strong' / 'general' artificial intelligence (AGI) in the framework of the task approach.

Results of a search for the pair production of photon-jets---collimated groupings of photons---in the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. Highly collimated photon-jets can arise from the decay of new, highly boosted particles that can decay to multiple photons collimated enough to be identified in the electromagnetic calorimeter as a single, photonlike energy cluster. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36.7\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, were collected in 2015 and 2016. Candidate photon-jet pair production events are selected from those containing two reconstructed photons using a set of identification criteria much less stringent than that typically used for the selection of photons, with additional criteria applied to provide improved sensitivity to photon-jets. Narrow excesses in the reconstructed diphoton mass spectra are searched for. The observed mass spectra are consistent with the Standard Model background expectation. The results are interpreted in the context of a model containing a new, high-mass scalar particle with narrow width, $X$, that decays into pairs of photon-jets via new, light particles, $a$. Upper limits are placed on the cross section times the product of branching ratios $\ensuremath{\sigma}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathcal{B}(X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}aa)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathcal{B}(a\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}{)}^{2}$ for $200\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}<{m}_{X}<2\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ and for ranges of ${m}_{a}$ from a lower mass of 100 MeV up to between 2 and 10 GeV, depending upon ${m}_{X}$. Upper limits are also placed on $\ensuremath{\sigma}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathcal{B}(X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}aa)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathcal{B}(a\ensuremath{\rightarrow}3{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{)}^{2}$ for the same range of ${m}_{X}$ and for ranges of ${m}_{a}$ from a lower mass of 500 MeV up to between 2 and 10 GeV.
