[System automatically processing psychophysiologic parameters of pilots].

For ergonomic evaluation of aircraft, the authors developed and subjected to flight testing a system automatically processing psychophysiologic parameters of pilots, providing post-flight automated PC processing of values registered during flight--cardiac rhythm, skin and sub-clothing temperatures, pulmonary ventilation and working load.

[The duration of action of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus after encapsulation by infusoria Tetrahymena pyriformis].

The study of the duration of the insecticidal activity of a mixture of infusoria with each of these bacteria revealed differences in the pattern of their relations during their long contact. T. pyriformis may be used for the prolongation of its insecticidal action if Bti is applied.

[Use of the recombinant bacterial strain to control blood-sucking mosquito larvae].

The recombinant strain of Methylobacillus flagellatum with the cloned synthesis gene Cry 4B of the toxic Bac. thuringiensis var. israelensis protein proved to be effective against larvae of the Anopheles stephensi, An.

[The entomological and acarological situation in Nizhegorod Province].

Ixodes, persulcatus, I. ricinus, D. reticulatus, D.

[The effect of microwaves (UHF) and magnetic fields on the insecticidal properties of biological and chemical preparations].

The larvicidal activity of preparations from different groups of compounds was assayed after their exposure to microwaves and magnetic field. The radiation was found to have a varying impact on the insecticidal properties of the preparations. Thus, the efficiency of spheric larvicides decreased, which is likely to be associated with the structural changes of toxin crystals, whereas the larvicidal activity of the organophosphorus compound dursban and the pyrethroid aikon increased 2-5-fold.
