Advanced algorithms for monochromatic monitoring of complex optical coatings.

The paper proposes to use combinations of two algorithms for the on-line prediction of the termination times of layer depositions in the case of complex optical coatings with large numbers of layers with significantly different layer thicknesses. Notch filters with very thin and thick coating layers are considered as examples of coatings where such combinations of algorithms can be useful. Computational manufacturing experiments are used to estimate expected levels of thickness errors and the strength of the error self-compensation effect for various notch filter designs.

[Study of the influence of etoxidol on expression of follistatin-like protein-1 (FSTL-1) in myocardium after experimental infarction in rats].

In heart attack, FSTL-1 is actively secreted by cardiomyocytes, accelerates growth of heart myofibrils and stimulates of vascular endothelial growth factor expression. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of Etoxidol on synthesis of FSTL-1 in rats after myocardial infarction. The experiments were performed on Wistar rats weighing 250-350 g with simulated myocardial infarction or intact (group 5).

The Mechanism of Action of Ethoxidol on Oxidative Stress Indices in Heart Failure and Hypotension.

Unlabelled: was to study the effect of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine malate (Ethoxidol) on the concentration of oxidative stress metabolites in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and hypertension.

Materials And Methods: 126 patients with FC I-III CHF have been examined. In addition to their individual therapy these patients received intravenous infusions of Ethoxidol.

Safety and efficacy of valproic acid preparations.

Background: Rising of the cost of drug therapy is one of the most notable negative tendencies of modern medicine. The main reasons for this trend are the increased costs for preclinical and clinical phases of drug development. Reproduction of drugs after cessation of patent protection is much less costly.

On the reliability of reverse engineering results.

Determination of actual parameters of manufactured optical coatings (reverse engineering of optical coatings) provides feedback to the design-production chain and thus plays an important role in raising the quality of optical coatings production. In this paper, the reliability of reverse engineering results obtained using different types of experimental data is investigated. Considered experimental data include offline normal incidence transmittance data, offline ellipsometric data, and online transmittance monitoring data recorded during depositions of all coating layers.
