Bottom sediment radioactivity of the six Caucasus lakes located in different altitude zones.

Natural and artificial radioactivity of bottom sediment in the six lakes of the Western and Central Caucasus have been evaluated. It allowed to define the variation of sedimentation rate during the last 100-150 years using technogenic (Cs) and natural (Pb, Ra) radionuclides as a chronomarkers. The studied lakes are located in the contrasting geographic conditions, different orographic positions, and have different origin.

Study of the EFG tensor at 75As nuclei in Ge-As-Se chalcogenide glasses.

Asymmetry parameters of the electric field gradient tensor at (75) As nuclei were determined for chalcogenide glassy semiconductors (CGS) of the Ge-As-Se system by comparing the experimental and simulated (75) As nuclear quadrupole resonance nutation interferograms. The electric field gradient asymmetry in CGS was analyzed, and it is believed that a structural change in these glassy semiconductors takes place at r¯ =  2.425.

NQR study of chalcogenide glasses Ge-As-Se.

A three-component Ge-As-Se system is studied by the nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) method on (75)As nuclei and by the nutation NQR spectroscopy. The NQR (75)As spectra of the glasses Ge(0.021) As(0.

[Comprehensive examination of the female urogenital tract infection by polymerase chain reaction using multiplex test systems].

The results of the polymerase chain reaction studies performed in 2006-2008 were used to make a retrospective analysis of the detection of urogenital herpesvirus infections in reproductive-aged women constituting the urban population of the central region of Russia. The study used both monotarget and mutiplex test systems to detect herpes simplex virus (HSV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus types 6 and 7. A total of about 7.
