An optimized cryopreservation protocol for embryonic axes (EAs) of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) has been developed based on the encapsulation–vitrification procedure. EAs of mature seeds were aseptically dissected and encapsulated in alginate beads with or without 0.3% (w/v) activated charcoal (AC). Embedded EAs were dehydrated with Plant Vitrification Solution 2 for different treatment times up to 120 min, followed by direct immersion in liquid nitrogen. Cryopreserved embryonic axes encapsulated with AC showed higher survival (70%) compared to those encapsulated without AC (50%). Sixty-four percent of embryonic axes, from synthetic seeds with AC, subsequently developed as whole plants. Plantlet regrowth was faster in AC-encapsulated EAs and showed enhanced postcryopreservation shoot and root regrowth over 2 cm after five weeks from rewarming. Results indicate that encapsulation–vitrification with activated charcoal added to the beads is an effective method for the long-term preservation of Castaneasativa embryonic axes.

The paper presents results of the production and use of the phytofortificant of cytoplasmic sperm membranes based on legume hydrolysate with additional purification with sorbents for cryopreservation of bull sperm as an alternative to yolk diluents. The aim of the research was to achieve biosafety, that is, to avoid infectious gynecological diseases, agents of which can be transmitted by the yolk, to increase the fertility rate of females after artificial insemination and to create the conditions for the development of new long-term cryoprotective diluents. It has been established that legumes grain and their hydrolysates contain a toxic nickel element that adversely affects the cytoplasmic membrane of sperm. To reduce this influence, we conducted a study of the action of different sorbents. Activated charcoal standard, silicon dioxide and fine silica were used as sorbents. Sorbents were added in relation of 3% of the volume of medium. According to the results of the studies, the best results were in semen, diluted with medium using high-dispersion silicon dioxide

This paper presents the results of studies on the strength and adsorption characteristics of granular activated charcoals of the brand ISQ DON GW4, С40/4 EXTRA KJ, and Norit RKJ4. The ultimate strength of samples was measured in different states: initial (H2O vapor saturation as a result of long-term storage), dehydrated, I2 vapor saturated and H2O + I2 vapor saturated. A significant (25…40%) decrease in the activated charcoal fracture stress due to the iodine vapor saturation, concerned with a Rehbinder effect, was observed. The degree of the adsorption decrease in the sorbent mechanical stability should be taken into account when selecting sorbents for filters of NPP air discharge purification systems (ventilation systems).

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

AbstractA long-term photographic search programme for minor planets was begun at the Kleť Observatory at the end of seventies using a 0.63-m Maksutov telescope, but with insufficient respect for long-arc follow-up astrometry. More than two thousand provisional designations were given to new Kleť discoveries. Since 1993 targeted follow-up astrometry of Kleť candidates has been performed with a 0.57-m reflector equipped with a CCD camera, and reliable orbits for many previous Kleť discoveries have been determined. The photographic programme results in more than 350 numbered minor planets credited to Kleť, one of the world's most prolific discovery sites. Nearly 50 per cent of them were numbered as a consequence of CCD follow-up observations since 1994.This brief summary describes the results of this Kleť photographic minor planet survey between 1977 and 1996. The majority of the Kleť photographic discoveries are main belt asteroids, but two Amor type asteroids and one Trojan have been found.

AbstractThe large-scale coronal structures observed during the sporadically visible solar eclipses were compared with the numerically extrapolated field-line structures of coronal magnetic field. A characteristic relationship between the observed structures of coronal plasma and the magnetic field line configurations was determined. The long-term evolution of large scale coronal structures inferred from photospheric magnetic observations in the course of 11- and 22-year solar cycles is described.Some known parameters, such as the source surface radius, or coronal rotation rate are discussed and actually interpreted. A relation between the large-scale photospheric magnetic field evolution and the coronal structure rearrangement is demonstrated.
