This study aimed to determine the prevalence and diversity of archaea and select bacteria in the subgingival biofilm of patients with peri-implantitis in comparison to patients with unaffected implants and patients with periodontitis. Samples of subgingival biofilm from oral sites were collected for DNA extraction (n = 139). A 16S rRNA gene-based polymerase chain reaction assay was used to determine the presence of archaea and select bacteria.

Treeline shift and tree growth often respond to climatic changes and it is critical to identify and quantify their dynamics. Some regions are particularly sensitive to climate change and the Altai Mountains, located in Central and East Asia, are showing unequivocal signs. The mean annual temperature in the area has increased by 1.

Several studies have reported significant emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG) from beaver dams, suggesting that ponds created by beavers are a net source of CO and CH However, most evidence come from studies conducted in North America (on Castor canadensis) without a parallel comparison with the Eurasian beaver's (Castor fiber) impacts and a critical consideration of the importance of the carbon deposition in dam sediments. The most abundant population of the Eurasian beaver lives in Russia, notably within the River Ob watershed in Western Siberia which is the second largest floodplain on Earth. Consequently, we assessed the holistic impact of Eurasian beavers on the multiple carbon pools in water and on other related biogeochemical parameters of the Ob's floodplain streams.

A simple, effective light scattering prototype sensitive to both polarized and depolarized scattering was constructed, and its performance was tested on a variety of pure liquids and optically isotropic and anisotropic polymer solutions and colloidal suspensions. The results, performance, and means to further improvement are reported here. Because of its simplicity and low cost, many identical units can be produced to construct a simultaneous multiple sample light scattering platform that can be used to monitor polymer and colloid solution stability, phase changes, aggregation, degradation, etc.

In this article, we report and discuss the results obtained from a survey of plants, microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), and soil elements along a chronosequence in the first 600 m of the Maliy Aktru glacier's forefront (Altai Mountains, Russia). Many glaciers of the world show effects of climate change. Nonetheless, except for some local reports, the ecological effects of deglaciation have been poorly studied and have not been quantitatively assessed in the Altai Mountains.

The dynamics and periodicity of LPO processes in the nuclei and chromatin were detected during regenerative processes in mouse liver. LPO processes were enhanced in transcriptionally active and replicating chromatin. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, esterified cholesterol, and free fatty acids were maximally oxidized during active transcription, and cardiolipin was oxidized during active replication.
