Impact of β-defensin 103 (DEFB103) copy number variation on bull sperm parameters and post-insemination uterine gene expression. by Ozge Sidekli, Edward J Hollox, Sean Fair, Kieran G Meade

“…As genetic diversity of DEFB103 CN was only apparent in the LF group, three bulls per CNV class (low, intermediate and high CN) were chosen for more detailed comparative functional analysis. Sperm from low CN bulls exhibited higher binding to the oviductal epithelium, while high CN increased sperm membrane fluidity in vitro (p < 0.05). …”

Using mathematical research methods for analyzing environmental and economic prospects of the Russian arctic oil and gas producing shelf projects by O. V. Kudryavtseva, E. V. Serebrennikov

“…Objective: to study the ecological and economic prospects of Russian Arctic oil and gas offshore projects by the method of functional analysis.Methods: mathematical modeling, comparative analysis, empirical analysis.Results: a method is proposed for assessing the financial provision of measures to eliminate the alleged environmental damage caused by hydrocarbon spills in Arctic offshore oil and gas production projects; models of oil spills in the “Prirazlomnoye” and “Pobeda” Arctic offshore fields are considered; the cost of measures to eliminate these incidents is estimated.Scientific novelty: for the first time, the paper investigates the function of financial provision for measures to eliminate the alleged environmental damage due to hydrocarbons spills at the “Prirazlomnoye” and “Pobeda” Arctic offshore oil and gas fields with the mathematical method of functional analysis, calculation of the maximum costs, as well as the time from the start of the spill, which accounts for these functional values. …”
