This paper describes the tools developed to link the SIBERIA model with a GIS. SIBERIA simulates the evolution of landforms within a catchment using digital elevation data. Integration of SIBERIA with a GIS provides easier access to the model for non-specialist users, and also extends model functionality. The complexity of the model means that integrating the two technologies using an ‘embedded...

Influence of springtime surface condition over Siberia upon subsequent summertime blocking activity over northeastern Siberia, and the Okhotsk sea is examined. It is found that when the surface temperature over Siberia is high in April (the high years), blocking events over northeastern Siberia, and the Okhotsk sea in May and June, occur more frequently than climatology. In the high years, a je...

The Y chromosomes of 549 individuals from Siberia and the Americas were analyzed for 12 biallelic markers, which defined 15 haplogroups. The addition of four microsatellite markers increased the number of haplotypes to 111. The major Native American founding lineage, haplogroup M3, accounted for 66% of male Y chromosomes and was defined by the biallelic markers M89, M9, M45, and M3. The founder...

Seventeen species are listed. Five new species: Arachnospila (Ammosphex) kasparyani sp. nov. (Tuva), A. (A.) maxim sp. nov. (Tuva, Khakassia), A. (A.) moczari sp. nov. (Tuva), A. (A.) scythia sp. nov. (Tuva), A. (A.) sibirica sp. nov. (Tuva, Republic of Altai) are described and illustrated. Arachnospila (Ammosphex) eoabnormis Lelej, 1995, A. (A.) orientausa Loktionov & Lelej, 2011, and A. (A.) ...

We report here the genome sequence of the influenza A virus strain A/swine/Siberia/1sw/2016, isolated from a swine in Russia. On the basis of sequence analysis, A/swine/Siberia/1sw/2016 is characterized by unusual surface glycoproteins phylogenetically distinct from those of swine A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus.

mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtdna) polymorphisms were examinedin bone samples of individuals buried inan early neolithic (c. 5800–4900 bce) hunter-gatherer cemetery, shamanka ii, located atthe southwestern tip of lake baikal, siberia. the mainobjective was to compare the mtdna polymorphisms observed at shamanka ii to those previously reportedfrom the lokomotiv (early neolithic) and ust...

Wildfires significantly affect the boreal ecosystem of Siberia. However, records on burnt areas and fire impact are still not satisfactory in Russia. The dense smoke from active burning and the persistent cloud covers impeded the application of optical sensors to the detection of burnt area in Siberia forest during the summer fire season. The high resolution SAR data are of limited use for burn...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of CYP2C19*2, *3 allelic variants, associated with poor response to clopidogrel, and CYP2C19*17, associated with excessive response to clopidogrel, in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) from Siberia and Moscow regions of Russia. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 512 ACS patients who were subsequently treated with cor...
