[Rare cases of head traumas incited by propeller blades of small vessels].

2 cases of death in males due to multiple head impacts by propeller blades of small vessels are given. The set of the following signs provides a basis for confirming the above-mentioned mechanism and properties of the traumatic object: multiplicity, oblong shape, parallel step-like arrangement of injury lengths, acute-angled M-shaped or Y-shaped injury ends, uneven edges, sometimes with the formation of small flaps and abrasion, lumpy wound walls, multi-fragmented nature of fractures in a limited area of the skullcap and facial skull bones, the location of damage to intracranial structures in the projection of external injuries and fractures of the cerebral skull bones.

Osmotic Attraction: A New Mechanism of Nanoparticle Aggregation.

Solvent-induced interactions of nanoparticles in colloidal solutions can substantially affect their physicochemical and transport properties. Predicting these interactions is challenging because the natural causes of the interactions are unclear. Here, we present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of the coagulation stability of the surfacted magnetic colloids.

Towards Automated Emotion Classification of Atypically and Typically Developing Infants.

The World Health Organization estimates that 15 million infants are born preterm every year [1]. This is of concern because these infants have a significant chance of having neuromotor or cognitive developmental delays due to cerebral palsy or other developmental issues [2]. Our long-term goal is to determine the roles emotion and movement play in the diagnosis of atypical infants.

Explanation of Experimentally Observed Phenomena in Hot Tokamak Plasmas from the Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics Position.

In studying the hot plasma behavior in tokamak devices, the classical approach for collisional processes is traditionally used. This approach leaves unexplained a number of phenomena observed in experiments related to plasma energy confinement. Further, it is well known that tokamak plasma is always turbulent and self-organized.

Formation and use of anaerobic consortia for the biotransformation of sulfur-containing extracts from pre-oxidized crude oil and oil fractions.

A new solution for fossil raw materials desulfurization based on a hybrid chemical-biocatalytic scheme with biogas and sulfide production is proposed.·HO, formic acid and NaMoO were used for petroleum or oil fractions pre-oxidation. Ethanol or dimethylformamide was used as extractant to remove sulfur-contained compounds from pre-oxidized straight-run diesel oil fraction, non-hydro treated vacuum gas oil, gas condensate or crude oil.
