BACKGROUND Historical records suggest that multiple burial sites from the 14th-16th centuries in Venice, Italy, were used during the Black Death and subsequent plague epidemics. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS High throughput, multiplexed real-time PCR detected DNA of seven highly transmissible pathogens in 173 dental pulp specimens collected from 46 graves. Bartonella quintana DNA was identif...

The article is devoted to the problem of clarifying practical purposes using manuscripts Liturgy Apostle James in 16th–17th centuries, their applied significance. This period characterized by appearance a huge number Slavic containing text Jacob. At same time, we are talking not only about manuscripts, but also presence several translation options for texts contained these manuscripts. Based on...

This study was carried out to compare the hepatoprotective effect of methionine on paracetamol treated rats at both the peaks of toxicity and absorption. Female Wistar rats were divided into 17 groups consisting of eight rats per group and treated with different doses of paracetamol/methionine (5:1). Each control rat received 5 ml of physiologic saline. The study was terminated at two different...

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the growth rate of the weight and body measurements of pheasants reared up to the 24th week of life, fed with all-mash mixtures. In the 3rd, 8th, 12th , 16th, 20th and 24th week of life the birds were weighed individually and their body measurements were measured based on which the growth rate indices of the traits researched were calculated. It w...

Bifurcation of limit cycles in a cubic Hamiltonian system with quintic perturbed terms is investigated using both qualitative analysis and numerical exploration. The investigation is based on detection functions which are particularly effective for the perturbed cubic Hamiltonian system. The study reveals firstly that there are at most 15 limit cycles in the cubic Hamiltonian system with pertur...

One of the main problems in the qualitative theory of real planar differential systems is the determination of number and relative positions of limit cycles. The problem concerns “the most elusive” second part of Hilbert’s 16th problem (see [Smale, 1998; Lloyd, 1988]). In 1983, Jibin Li (see [Li, 2003; Li & Li, 1985; Li & Liu, 1991, 1992]) posed a method of detection functions to investigate po...

We consider planar polynomial vector fields. We aim to find the (asymptotic) upper and lower bounds for the number of orbital topological equivalence classes for the fields of degree n. An evident obstacle for this is the second part of Hilbert’s 16th problem. To circumvent this obstacle we introduce the notion of equivalence modulo limit cycles. Both upper and lower bounds can be obtained for ...
