This letter reports on a search for hypothetical heavy neutrinos, , and right-handed gauge bosons, , in events with high transverse momentum objects which include two reconstructed leptons and at least one hadronic jet. The results were obtained from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb collected in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

The top quark mass has been measured using the template method in the [Formula: see text] channel based on data recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data were taken at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of [Formula: see text] and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb.

This paper presents a search for the -channel exchange of an -parity violating scalar top quark ([Formula: see text]) in the continuum using 2.1 fb of data collected by the ATLAS detector in [Formula: see text] collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds.

A measurement of the top-antitop production charge asymmetry is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb of collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are selected with a single lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse momentum and at least four jets of which at least one jet is identified as coming from a -quark.

We present a measurement of the normalized differential cross section based on the full data set (∫Ldt=36 pb(-1)) acquired by the ATLAS detector during the 2010 sqrt(s)=7 TeV proton-proton run of the LHC. The measured distributions include jets with transverse momenta up to 1.

The authors have developed a homogenous method for the detection of the cells, surface antigen, and Ag8 of glanders and melioidosis pathogens and antibodies to them, based on the compliment-dependent lysis of Ag8-sensitized liposomes. The method is highly specific; its sensitivity to antibodies to glanders and melioidosis pathogens is 24 to 440 times higher than that of RID: its sensitivity to Ag8 is 100 ng/ml corresponding to 1.25x10-10 M, and its sensitivity to cells is 10(5) to 10(6) cells/ml).

The studies were conducted in apparently healthy 19-59-year-old women living in the middle belt of Western Siberia. They revealed the high sensitivity of the study test systems to age-related changes in the blood concentration of DHEA-S.

The factors that affect the function of the liposomal reagent were studied, and the conditions for detecting antibodies and antigenic material were optimized. This system is highly specific and sensitive to be used for the determination of anticholeraic antibodies (30-50 times as effective as agglutination tests), lipopolysaccharide antigen (100 ng/ml, which corresponded to 3.

Described in the paper are the results of designing a combination-luminescence lidar for the automated express determination of the concentration and dynamic distribution of biological pollutants in the atmosphere. It was established as possible to detect simultaneously the signals of aerosols' luminescence and those of combined atmospheric nitrogen dispersion to ensure an effective monitoring of biological aerosols along the probing route.

It was shown that, during the immune lysis of liposome membranes, changes in the dynamics of spin probes occur, which correlate with the formation of transmembrane channels and exit of the fluorescent marker from the interior of liposomes.

The new fluorescence marker Sulforodamine 101 that allows one to avoid a labour-consuming stage of purification of a marker substance (for example, calceine, other fluorescein derivatives) from hydrophobic admixtures that reduce the storage of a liposomal reagent was used in liposomal immunoassay. Sulforodamine 101 shows the maximum increase in a fluorescence signal when liposomes are destroyed with encapsulated marker, which is 45 times greater than does Sulforodamine B (8 times) and comparable with calceine (30 times). The comparative studies using liposomes containing calceine and Sulforodamine 101 have indicated that they are similar storage and sensitivity (50 ng/ml) of liposomal test system as determined by the concentration of F.

Various circuits of flow-type optic aerosol recorders are analyzed. Flow spectral luminescence analysis of some particles flow while exciting the fourth harmonics of a pulse laser on yttrium-aluminium garnet with neodymium by ultraviolet radiation is shown to be the most optimum method for indication of individual aerosol particles.
