Dielectric Barrier Corona Activation of Electrical Discharge in a Cavitating Liquid.

Water treatment methods based on cold plasma discharge in cavitating liquid have been actively developing in recent years. However, some conditions, such as the conductivity of the medium, can limit the possibility of plasma ignition. The authors proposed a new method for activating an electric discharge in a cavitating liquid environment based on the use of an external corona discharge electrode in the plasma reactor.

Coating of Filter Materials with CeO Nanoparticles Using a Combination of Aerodynamic Spraying and Suction.

Textiles and nonwovens (including those used in ventilation systems as filters) are currently one of the main sources of patient cross-infection. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect 5-10% of patients and stand as the tenth leading cause of death. Therefore, the development of new methods for creating functional nanostructured coatings with antibacterial and antiviral properties on the surfaces of textiles and nonwoven materials is crucial for modern medicine.

Genome instability footprint under rapamycin and hydroxyurea treatments.

The mutational processes dictating the accumulation of mutations in genomes are shaped by genetic background, environment and their interactions. Accurate quantification of mutation rates and spectra under drugs has important implications in disease treatment. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing and time-resolved growth phenotyping of yeast mutation accumulation lines to give a detailed view of the mutagenic effects of rapamycin and hydroxyurea on the genome and cell growth.

Highly-automated, high-throughput replication of yeast-based logic circuit design assessments.

We describe an experimental campaign that replicated the performance assessment of logic gates engineered into cells of by Gander Our experimental campaign used a novel high-throughput experimentation framework developed under Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Synergistic Discovery and Design program: a remote robotic lab at Strateos executed a parameterized experimental protocol. Using this protocol and robotic execution, we generated two orders of magnitude more flow cytometry data than the original experiments. We discuss our results, which largely, but not completely, agree with the original report and make some remarks about lessons learned.

[Eating behavior and skills of premature children in different age periods].

Premature infant feeding often causes a number of difficulties not only during the nursing of a baby in the neonatal period, but also in further periods of the formation of nutritional skills and habits. Eating difficulties are noticeable not only during the first year of life. The further development of the eating behavior of premature children differs from fullterm peers.
