The problem of reproduction cattle in the Russian Federation remains relevant from year to and is characterized by a rather low yield offspring per 100 queens, which causes significant economic damage. solution this associated with an increase efficiency implementation genetically determined reproductive capabilities animals. Scientific novelty lies study molecular genetic mechanisms fertility ...

Androgen receptors (ARs) play a critical role in the development of prostate cancer. Targeting ARs results in important salutary effects in this malignancy. Despite mounting evidence that ARs also participate in the pathogenesis and/or progression of diverse tumors, exploring the impact of hormonal manipulation of these receptors has not been widely pursued beyond prostate cancer. This review d...

We developed a new type of molecular rods consisting of two (or more) rigid units linked by a flexible joint. Consequently we called these constructs articulated rods (ARs). The syntheses of ARs were carried out by a flexible and modular approach providing access to a number of compounds with various functionalizations in terminal positions. First applications were presented with pyrene, cinnam...

Audio Response Systems (ARS) are currently used as a mechanism to enhance face to face education in classrooms and the results are promising. These systems could also improve certain aspects in e-learning if designed appropriately. This paper presents a design and implementation of an ARS adapted to both face to face education and distance learning scenarios. We also show how this ARS system is...

Twist is a parameter to measure turning of the field lines around axis of the flux tube. Observations show that each active region (AR) has a pronounced overall twist, following hemispheric helicity rule (Pevtsov et al. 1995; Bao & Zhang 1998). etbest, best-fit single value for a whole AR, is used to characterize the overall twist. Writhe is a measure of the spatial turning of the axis of the f...
