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.

This study assessed the predictive value of intraoperative electroencephalography (EEG) patterns for POD in adults.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the PRISMA and Cochrane Handbook guidelines.
The development of highly sensitive diagnostic systems for the early revelation of diseases in humans is one of the most important tasks of modern biomedical research, and the detection of the core antigen of the hepatitis C virus (HCVcoreAg)-a protein marker of the hepatitis C virus-is just the case. Our study is aimed at testing the performance of the nanoribbon biosensor in the case of the use of two different types of molecular probes: the antibodies and the aptamers against HCVcoreAg. The nanoribbon sensor chips employed are based on "silicon-on-insulator structures" (SOI-NR).

However, the influence of the genetic affiliation of the culture and the technological factors of yeast strains, the composition of growth media on the efficiency of essential trace elements incorporation into the biomass and on the change of theirs intracellular components content have hardly been investigated. In this regard, of this work was to select promising races of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, develop a biotechnological method for obtaining food ingredients enriched with selenium and chromium on their basis, and study their trace element composition.
