When developing information systems aimed at long-term storage of digital data, it is necessary to think over solutions that allow not only to ensure storage security, storage reliability, but also to ensure the safety of digital data in the event of a possible destabilizing effect, including a catastrophic one. That is, there is a need to ensure the stability of digital data under natural, man-made, anthropogenic or other stored influences. The first step towards digital data resilience is to assess data resilience. The aim of the work is to develop a methodological apparatus for assessing the stability of digital data in information systems operating in conditions of disasters and destabilizing factors. The article presents a methodological approach to assessing the stability of digital data, including long-term storage. The stability of digital data to destabilizing influences in the article is understood as the ability to recover in a minimum period of time both the data itself and the operability of applications responsible for the interpretation of this data, as well as the operability of other software and hardware, without which the use of digital data is not possible. The author of the article proposes a methodology for creating a mathematical model for assessing sustainability, presents a model for assessing the sustainability indicator in general. The main steps for the development of a mathematical model of stability are described. Areas of further research on the development of methodological and algorithmic apparatus for modeling the stability of digital data have been identified. The methodological approach proposed in the article can be used to solve the problems of stability of digital data of a fairly wide class of applied information systems operating in conditions of disasters and destabilizing factors. The proposed approach presupposes redundancy of software and hardware of information systems, additional time spent in the design for compiling models, additional costs for storing the "history" of the functioning of information systems, description of destabilizing factors, etc. However, according to the author of the article, this is necessary and justified to ensure the safety of valuable digital data with a long storage period.

In this paper the stability and degree of epimerisation of six major ergot alkaloids at three different temperature levels (-20 °C, +4 °C and +20 °C) over periods of 18 hours and six weeks is reported for the first time. The behaviour of ergometrine, ergocornine, ergocristine, α-ergocryptine, ergosine and ergotamine was thoroughly studied in seven solvents which are employed for the preparation of calibrants and extraction mixtures, respectively. Moreover, the stability of the ergot alkaloids was tested in different cereal extracts (rye, wheat, barley, oats) for 1, 2 and 6 days. Of the toxins tested, the ergopeptide-type toxins ergosine, ergotamine, ergocornine, α-ergocryptine and ergocristine showed similar behaviour patterns. The simple lysergic acid derivative ergometrine was more stable and showed hardly any epimerisation to ergometrinine, with the sum of both epimers remaining constant in all seven solvents. The ergopeptides tested show variable epimerisation tendencies, and were also less stable during six weeks at 20 °C. Ergosine showed the highest degree of epimerisation (43% after 6 weeks at 20 °C). In general, the order of epimerisation promotion was methanol/dichloromethane > acetonitrile/buffer > extraction mix > stabilising solution > acetonitrile >> chloroform. Long-term storage at room temperature can only be carried out in chloroform, which showed no epimerisation for all toxins even at 20 °C and also kept the sum of R and S forms constant, which indicates no formation of aci-epimers or other degradation products. Long-term storage of ergot alkaloids in acetonitrile, the most convenient solvent with respect to HPLC analysis, should be carried out at temperatures of -20 °C or below. The constant epimer ratio of all ergot alkaloids in the extraction mixture acetonitrile/ammonium carbonate buffer (200 mg/l; 92:8, v/v) during an HPLC run (18 hours) demonstrates the stability of the toxins in this extraction mixture.

This paper presents the lime binding forced carbonate-hardening materials properties formation study and determins the stability of these properties during long-term storage and use under normal conditions. The tests showed these materials stability properties over time, confirming the strength and density growth of the test samples after long storage due to the calcium hydroxide recrystallization completion into calcium carbonate processes. Also, the results of the samples carbonate hardening study under natural conditions during 18 months are presented. An efficiency assessment of forced carbonate hardening as one of the methods of recycling technogenic CO2 in order to reduce its emissions in the atmosphere, and, in the result, to obtain high-quality construction materials has been made.

Dinitramide anion [−N(NO2)2] salt composed of resonance structure is a plausible oxidizing agents, as efficient propellant. Among them, guanidinium dinitramide (GDN) is an organic compound improving the stability against moisture, as well long term storage. An additional advantage composed guanidinium ion is the reaction efficient via the decomposed by-product during pyrognostics, maximum yield of 99%. The types of GDN (GDN-I, II, III, IV, V) were synthesized using several starting material such as guanidine acetate, chloride, carbonate, nitrate and sulfate under hydrodeprivation. In this work, the intermediates formed in these processes were closely identified and their thermal properties, and chemical structure were examined. The absorption peaks by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were found guanidinium infrared frequencies (3452, 3402, 3354, 3278, 1642 cm−1) and dinitramide infrared frequencies (3208, 1570, 1492, 1416, 1337, 1179, 1000 cm−1). The activation energy of GDN samples were obtained Ea = 53.26 Kcal/mole (GDN-I), 50.94 Kcal/mole (GDN-II), 52.34 Kcal/mole (GDN-III), 62.19 Kcal/mole (GDN-IV), 55.32 Kcal/mole (GDN-V) from exothermic at over 153°C.

In epidemiological and nutrition research, it is very important to evaluate the stability of biomarkers as function of both storage time and temperature. In this study, the stability of folate and vitamin B12in human serum samples has been tested after long-term storage at −80°C up to 13 years. Serum samples of 16 individuals were used in this study. The concentration of folate and vitamin B12has been determined att=0and at 1, 8, and 13 years after storage at −80°C. The folate concentrations in serum samples remained stable at −80°C. The concentration of vitamin B12was decreasing during the time of the study to about 50%. The correlation of the folate and also of the vitamin B12concentrations in the stored samples compared with the starting values was still good. Therefore, although the concentration of vitamin B12decreased upon storage, reliable comparative analyses can still be performed.

The problem of production waste storage in open areas of an enterprise with a galvanic shop for the production of chips and microchips has been investigated. The composition of the sludge obtained after sewage treatment of the production of the copper line was investigated. The aim of the article is to develop a mathematical model for predicting the distribution of compounds with heavy metals in the soil during long-term storage of galvanic sludge in open areas. Modeling the process of movement of salts from the earth's surface into the lower layers of the aeration zone occurs according to the laws of molecular diffusion. The method is developed on the basis of a mathematical model that makes it possible to estimate the spread over the depth of the ground and level of soil salinity over time using initial information about soil structure and its characteristics (molecular diffusion coefficient, volume humidity), annual volumes and conditions of sludge storage in the enterprise. Restrictions are set: the presence of harmful substances on the soil surface with a concentration that exceeds the permissible level; inadmissibility of harmful substances to aquifers. The practical use of the method made it possible to identify the main dangers during long-term storage of galvanic waste in open areas. The dynamics of soil salinity levels and the depth of penetration of heavy metals increase over twenty years of conservation has been determined, as well as the possibility of hazardous compounds entering groundwater has been assessed. Polyvinyl chloride packaging has a maximum life span of 15 years. Waste should not be stored in packages and in closed areas for more than 10 years. According to the prediction results, it can be stated that storage in landfills of galvanic waste for more than 15 years leads to significant salinization of the soil and creates conditions for an emergency situation, which is caused by harmful substances entering the water horizons. Recommendations for improving storage conditions are given and the need for recycling of industrial waste is substantiated

Abstract. Quantifying sedimentary carbon stocks in the coastal ocean is key to improving our understanding of long-term storage of carbon in the coastal ocean and to further constrain the global carbon cycle. Here we present a methodological approach which combines seismic geophysics and geochemical measurements to quantitatively estimate the total stock of carbon held within marine sediment. Through the application of this methodology to Loch Sunart a sea loch (fjord) on the west coast of Scotland we have created the first sedimentary carbon inventory for a fjordic system. The sediment of Loch Sunart holds 26.88 ± 0.52 Mt of carbon split between 11.05 ± 0.23 Mt and 15.02 ± 0.35 Mt of organic and inorganic carbon respectively. This quantitative estimate of carbon stored in Loch Sunart in significantly higher than previous estimates. Through comparison to Scottish peatland carbon stocks we have determined that Loch Sunart on a per are basis is a significantly more effective store of carbon. This initial work supports the concept that fjords are important environments for the burial and long-term storage of carbon and therefore should be considered as unique environments while considering coastal carbon stocks.

Introduction: In this report, we aimed to examine the stability of various analytes in saliva under different storage conditions. Materials and methods: Alpha-amylase (AMY), cholinesterase (CHE), lipase (Lip), total esterase (TEA), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), lactate (Lact), adenosine deaminase (ADA), Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), ferric reducing ability (FRAS), cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), uric acid (UA), catalase (CAT), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were colorimetrically measured in saliva obtained by passive drool from 12 healthy voluntary donors at baseline and after 3, 6, 24, 72 hours, 7 and 14 days at room temperature (RT) and 4 ºC, and after 14 days, 1, 3 and 6 months at – 20 ºC and – 80 ºC. Results: At RT, changes appeared at 6 hours for TEA and H2O2; 24 hours for Lip, CK, ADA and CUPRAC; and 72 hours for LD, Lact, FRAS, UA and AOPP. At 4 ºC changes were observed after 6 hours for TEA and H2O2; 24 hours for Lip and CUPRAC; 72 hours for CK; and 7 days for LD, FRAS and UA. At – 20 ºC changes appeared after 14 days for AST, Lip, CK and LD; and 3 months for TEA and H2O2. At – 80 ºC observed changes were after 3 months for TEA and H2O2. Conclusions: In short-term storage, the analytes were more stable at 4 ºC than at room temperature, whereas in long-term storage they were more stable at - 80 ºC than at – 20 ºC.
