[Experimental studies of reliability of symbolic information perception from the aviation LCD panel].

Results of tachistiscopic experiments on reliability of symbol recognition on LCD panel as a function of screen definition (640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 pixels), angular size of a picture element (10, 15, 20 and 30 angular min) and luminance contrast (LC) with the background (0.2 to 1.4 standard units) are presented.

[A compact microarray for sub-typing of influenza A virus].

A universal oligonucleotide hybridazation microchip 6 x 5 spot (4 x 4 mm) for influenza A virus subtyping was suggested, functioning on a principle one spot--one subtype. This microchip with additional printing quality control is a prototype of a biosensor for detection of influenza A virus and typing of 15 subtypes of hemagglutinin and 9 subtypes of neuraminidase.

[Peculiarities of pilot's perception of flight information presented on on-board liquid crystal displays].

The article deals with results of experimental studies conducted on flight testing desk and covering peculiarities of pilot's perception of flight information presented on on-board liquid crystal display in dependence on changes speed and update rate of the screen. The authors determine frequency characteristics of information update rate, that achieve acceptable quality of the flight parameters perception in accordance with the changes speed. Vigorous maneuvering with high angular velocities of changed parameters of roll and pitch causes visual distortions that are connected with poor frequency of information update rate, deteriorate piloting quality and can cause flight unsafety.

[Oligo(2'-O-Methylribonucleotides) and their derivatives: IV. Conjugates of oligo(2'-O-methylribonucleotides) with minor groove binders and intercalators: synthesis, properties and application].

Conjugates of pyrimidine triplex forming 3'-protected oligo(2'-O-methylribonucleotides) with minor groove binders (MGB) and triplex specific intercalator benzoindoloquinoline (BIQ) at 5'-terminus were synthesized. The conjugates formed stable complexes with target dsDNA by simultaneous binding both in its minor and major grooves and BIQ intercalation. The dissociation constants and thermal stability of the conjugate complexes with model dsDNA corresponding to polypurine tract (PPT) of genes nef and pol from HIV proviral genome were determined.
