Features of the marking activity of beavers in the channel-type settlements are considered. On the basis of statistical data it was determined that the signal hillocks may be recommended for investigation of dynamic indexes of scent marking by beavers. On the basis of quantitative methods the role of the level mode of water streams in the appearance of olfactory marks is demonstrated; as a result, the inversely proportional dependence between these parameters has been revealed.
In the Late Cenozoic, the volcanism of the South Khangai Volcanic Region (SKhVR) spanned the Khangai Range and its framing. Geochronological, petrochemical, geochemical, and isotope studies were performed for volcanic rocks of this region, which are represented by high-K basic and intermediate ro...
Morphological ergativity is attested in all Neo-Aramaic dialects of the North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) group, which comprises over a hundred different dialects spoken by Jewish and Christian communities originating in the border areas of Turkey/Iraq/Iran. Historically, Aramaic (Semitic) is nomi...
Transposable elements (TEs) make up a half of the human genome, but the extent of their contribution to cryptic exon activation that results in genetic disease is unknown. Here, a comprehensive survey of 78 mutation-induced cryptic exons previously identified in 51 disease genes revealed the pres...
Cross-linguistic research on the development of tense-aspect marking has revealed a strong effect of lexical aspect. But the degree of this effect varies across languages. Explanation for this universal tendency and language-specific variation is still an open issue. This study investigates the e...
Proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a primary mechanism underlying cardiovascular proliferative disorders. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt (or protein kinase B) axis has been assigned at the center of pathways that regulate cell proliferation. Here we demonstrate that en...
Extreme helium stars are very rare low-mass supergiants in a late stage of evolution. They are probably contracting to become white dwarfs following a violent phase of evolution which caused them to become hydrogen-deficient giants, possibly R CrB stars. Using the latest generation of models for ...
In 1928, Aby Warburg gave his personal cultural and biographical situation visual form in two cartographical diagrams. Marking important places in his life (Hamburg, Florence, Arizona"), they show Warburg's intellectual parcours and reveal something of his specific way of working and thinking. Th...
When an agreement controller such as a subject NP is a hybrid of contrasting syntactic and semantic features, the choice of syntactic versus semantic agreement depends on both the type of agreement target and the type of agreement controller. Two types of controller are contrasted: hybrid pronoun...
Fiber lasers are widely used in industry for various applications. For marking applications the most common types are pulsed fiber lasers with low average power (10-20W), pulse lengths of 100ns and pulse energy in 0,5-1mJ range.However for applications of high speed ablations and cleaning of surf...
Boundary distance (BD) plotting is a technique for making orientation invariant comparisons of the spatial distribution of biochemical markers within and across cells/nuclei. Marker expression is aggregated over points with the same distance from the boundary. We present a suite of tools for impr...
