Аssessment of the prospects for growing forest crops of European larch in the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine by Svitlana Raspopina, Maksim Didenko

“…Significant natural mortality (drying-out) of larch was recorded, which probably occurred due to the untimely conducting of forestry activities, in particular, tending treatments (cleaning), cutting, as a result of which the stand corresponds to the category of “very weakened” (Іc (index of health condition) – 3.4). …”

Disproportionate Distribution of HBV Genotypes A and D and the Recombinant Genotype D/E in the High and Low HBV Endemic Regions of Uganda: A Wake-Up Call for Regional Specific HBV... by Hussein Mukasa Kafeero, Dorothy Ndagire, Ponsiano Ocama, Charles Drago Kato, Eddie Wampande, Henry Kajumbula, David Kateete, Abdul Walusansa, Ali Kudamba, Kigozi Edgar, Fred Ashaba Katabazi, Maria Magdalene Namaganda, Jamilu E. Ssenku, Hakim Sendagire

“…There is disproportionate distribution of genotypes A and D and the recombinant genotype D/E in the low and high endemic regions of Uganda. This probably could explain the differences in endemicity of HBV in our country signifying the need for regional specific HBV management and control strategies.…”

Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi

“…In addition to the Acqua Felice, built by pope Sixtus V (1585-1590), two still functioning Roman aqueducts were concerned: the Aqua Virgo (19 BC), probably the only ancient aqueduct which, flowing mainly in underground channels, has remained in continuous operation to the present day, and the Aqua Traiana (109 AD), which was reactivated by pope Paulus V in 1612.The complexity of these structures, of considerable height and tens of kilometres long, makes monitoring, protection and conservation particularly difficult.This is why the Municipality of Rome, when drawing up the New Master Plan for the city in the 1960s, included the aqueducts as part of the city's protective cultural heritage. …”

Influence of urokinase gene-knockout in C57BL/6-PlautmI. IBugThisPlau6FDhu/GFDhu mice on growth factors in malignant melanoma by E. M. Frantsiyants, I. V. Kaplieva, I. V. Neskubina, V. A. Bandovkina, L. K. Trepitaki, E. I. Surikova, N. D. Cheryarina, L. A. Nemashkalova, N. S. Lesovaya

“…Interestingly, a significant, although lesser than in mice with a normal genotype, accumulation of VEGFA in melanoma tissues was observed: in males – in tumors by 44.9 times, in perifocal tissues by 6.8 times, in the skin by 2.4 times; in females – in tumors by 5.6 times, in perifocal tissues by 2.6 times, in the skin by 3.3 times, compared to the corresponding intact controls, due to the probable involvement of the uPA receptor (uPAR) in the implementation of VEGF-induced processes.Conclusion. …”

Differences in Optical Two-dimensional Morphological Characteristics of Downward Lightning Channels with Different Polarities by Mei Ji, Lü Weitao, Qi Qi, Xu Weiqun, Wu Bin, Ma Ying, Liu Hengyi, Chen Lüwen, Zhang Yang

“…Moreover, morphological differences between positive and negative CG flashes can result in varying probabilities of side-flashes on tall buildings. However, because of the infrequent occurrence of positive CG flashes, current research on the morphological characteristics of lightning channel development remains quite limited. …”

La datation dendrochronologique du coffrage de fondation d’une pile du pont-siphon de l’Yzeron à Beaunant (Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, Métropole de Lyon) by François Blondel, David Baldassari

“…A comparison of these results with the route of the Gier aqueduct, which originated at the foot of the Pilat massif, provides clues to a probable source in this sector. Indeed, the dendroprovenance approach indicates a common climatic signal between the Beaunant and Ambert-La Masse sites. …”

Les aqueducs de Lyon à l’approche de la ville antique by Emmanuelle Dumas

A Phenologically Simplified Two-Stage Clumping Index Product Derived from the 8-Day Global MODIS-CI Product Suite by Ge Gao, Ziti Jiao, Zhilong Li, Chenxia Wang, Jing Guo, Xiaoning Zhang, Anxin Ding, Zheyou Tan, Sizhe Chen, Fangwen Yang, Xin Dong

“…In this study, we applied the discrete Fourier transform and an improved dynamic threshold method to estimate the start of season (SOS) and end of season (EOS) from the CI time series and indicated that the CI exhibits significant seasonal variation characteristics that are generally consistent with the MODIS land surface phenology (LSP) product (MCD12Q2), although seasonal differences between them probably exist. Second, we divided the vegetation cycle into two phenological stages based on the MODIS LSP product, ignoring the differences mentioned above, i.e., the leaf-on season (LOS, from greenup to dormancy) and the leaf-off season (LFS, after dormancy and before greenup of the next vegetation cycle), and developed the phenologically simplified two-stage CI product for the years 2001–2020 using the MODIS 8-day CI product suite. …”
