Occurrences of Threatened Species included in the Third Edition of the Red Data Book of the Komi Republic (Russia).

Background: The purpose of the data paper was to introduce into scientific literature the results of scientific work carried out for the third edition of the 'Red Data Book of the Komi Republic'. The article reflects methodological approaches to the formation of a list of rare and in need of protection species and describes the corresponding datasets published in GBIF.

New Information: Information about 7,187 occurrences of 438 rare species and infraspecies included in the third edition of the 'Red Data Book of the Komi Republic' have been published.

Isotensor Dibaryon in the pp→ppπ^{+}π^{-} Reaction?

Exclusive measurements of the quasifree pp→ppπ^{+}π^{-} reaction have been carried out at WASA@COSY by means of pd collisions at T_{p}=1.2  GeV. Total and differential cross sections have been extracted covering the energy region T_{p}=1.

Spin Dependence of η Meson Production in Proton-Proton Collisions Close to Threshold.

Taking advantage of the high acceptance and axial symmetry of the WASA-at-COSY detector, and the high polarization degree of the proton beam of COSY, the reaction p[over →]p→ppη has been measured close to threshold to explore the analyzing power A_{y}. The angular distribution of A_{y} is determined with the precision improved by more than 1 order of magnitude with respect to previous results, allowing a first accurate comparison with theoretical predictions. The determined analyzing power is consistent with zero for an excess energy of Q=15  MeV, signaling s-wave production with no evidence for higher partial waves.

Distribution of the invasive plant species Manden. in the Komi Republic (Russia).

Occurrences of the invasive plant species Manden. in the Komi Republic (northeastern part of European Russia) were recorded and published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF http://www.gbif.

[Isolated pelvic perfusion in treatment for malignant tumors].

Rationale and feasibility of isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) as a high-tech treatment modality for patients with pelvic malignancies was studied and analyzed based on the systematic review of the literature. Indications, techniques and regimens of IPP are reviewed. There is a focus on anticancer agents for IPP and methods of complete vascular isolation of the perfusated region.
