Development of pitting corrosion of steel pipes of water supply systems by V. A. Chukhin, N. A. Makisha

“…To explain the corrosion process occurring in the tubercle, a comparison of a dense layer of tubercles with an anion exchange membrane with selective properties was carried out, as a result of which the concentration of aggressive chloride ions increases in the structure of the tubercles. At the same time, due to the hydrolysis of the formed iron chloride and a decrease in pH, the corrosion rate increases significantly. …”

Effects of aging-related muscle degeneration on dynamic stability during walking: a musculoskeletal computer simulation study by Shoma Kudo, Masahiro Fujimoto, Akinori Nagano

“…To assess the effects of aging-related deficits in muscle function on dynamic stability during walking, five models with different muscle properties were created, namely young adult (YA) and older adult (OA) models, models with reduced maximum isometric muscle force, reduced maximum muscle contraction velocity, and prolonged muscle deactivation time (∆F, ∆V, and ∆T models, respectively). The margin of stability (MoS) was used as a measure of dynamic stability during walking.Results and DiscussionThe MoS value of the OA model was greater than that of the YA model, and the ∆F model yielded a larger MoS value than those of the ∆V and ∆T models. …”

Computer analysis shows differences between mitochondrial miRNAs and other miRNAs by P. S. Vorozheykin, I. I. Titov

“…The analysis revealed, for the first time, a significant difference between mitomiRs and other microRNAs by the following criteria (in descending order of importance in the classification): mitomiRs are evolutionarily older (have a lower phylostratigraphic age index, PAI); have more targets and disease associations, including mitochondrial ones (twosided Fisher’s exact test, average p-values 1.82×10–89/1.13×10–96 for all mRNA/diseases and 6.01×10–22/1.09×10–9 for mitochondria, respectively); and are in the class of “circulating” miRNAs (average pvalue 1.20×10–56). …”
