Density of states in the presence of spin-dependent scattering in SF bilayers: a numerical and analytical approach.

We present a quantitative study of the density of states (DOS) in SF bilayers (where S is a bulk superconductor and F is a ferromagnetic metal) in the diffusive limit. We solve the quasiclassical Usadel equations in the structure considering the presence of magnetic and spin-orbit scattering. For practical reasons, we propose the analytical solution for the density of states in SF bilayers in the case of a thin ferromagnet and low transparency of the SF interface.

[Properties of pectolitic phytopathogenic bacteria isolates obtained in Ukraine].

Bacteria obtained from potato tubers having symptoms of soft rot and grown in different regions of Ukraine are identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. These bacteria strains are able to produce bacteriocines.

[Effect of structural P-protein of potato curly dwarf virus on replicase activity of mRNP-complexes of infected plants].

All representatives of rhabdoviruses contain a nucleocapside phosphoprotein - P-protein which is an essential subunit of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex. As a result of studying the effect of nucleocapside protein P(NS) on replicase activity of mRNP isolated from plants infected by potato curly dwarf virus in the system in vitro, it was established that nucleocapside P-protein stimulates considerably the replicase activity of membrane-bound polysomal m-RNP P-protein being available in concentration of 15 microg/ml in the replication system in vitro of membrane-bound polysomal mRNP, the replicase activity increased 11.7 times.

[Matrix activity of mRNP of different cell localization from plants infected by minus-genome curly potato dwarfness virus in protein-synthesizing system in vitro].

Using structures of mRNP of different cell localization isolated from plants infected by minus-genomecurly potato dwarfness virus (CPDV), it was established that synthesis of virus proteins in vitro is mainly realized on membrane-related and free polysomal mRNP capable to direct synthesis of proteins programmed in RNA in cell-free protein-synthesizing systems. The obtained results prove that synthesis of virus proteins is actively realized on membrane-related nonpolysomal mRNP - 23520 imp/min. An analogous distribution of matrix activity is observed also in the case when mRNA isolated from mRNP of different cell localization was introduced in protein-synthesizing system.

Perinatal hypoxia induces a long-lasting increase in unstimulated gaba release in rat brain cortex and hippocampus. The protective effect of pyruvate.

Hypoxia and seizures early in life can cause multiple neurological deficits and even chronic epilepsy. Here, we report the data obtained in rats exposed to hypoxia and seizures at age 10-12 postnatal days and taken in experiments 8-9 weeks after hypoxia treatment. A level of the extracellular GABA and the initial velocity of GABA uptake were measured in the brain cortex, hippocampus and thalamus using isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes).
