A new approach to the problem of prediction of secondary structures of RNA, which is based on the kinetic analysis of self-organising molecules is proposed. Structural reconstructions that take place during formation of secondary structures are described in terms of Markov process. A set of states and probability transition were defined. Monte-Carlo methods were used to describe this process. Probability distributions of various secondary structures depending on time are given. Examples of calculations for ensembles of secondary structures of some tRNAs are described. An effective method of steady-state ensemble research, which is based on a quick RESETTING of all possible variance of the secondary structures of RNAs is given. By ascribing to each of these structures the value of probabilities as a function of free energy it was possible to obtain the Boltzmann ensemble of secondary structures.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.

Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.
