An economic evaluation was made of the WHO tuberculosis control strategy in Armenia. The evaluation concentrated on newly detected smear-positive patients. This strategy, characterized by rapid case detection, mandatory hospitalization during the intensive phase of treatment and shortened treatment duration, was compared with the strategy formerly employed, characterized by extensive hospitaliz...

We show that the measure of the three dimensional Nambu-Goto string theory has a simple decomposition as a measure on two parameter group of induced areapreserving transformations of the immersed surface and a trivial measure for the area of the surface.

The paper is devoted to the description of hybrid pattern recognition method developed by research groups from Russia, Armenia and Spain. The method is based upon logical correction over the set of conventional neural networks. Output matrices of neural networks are processed according to the potentiality principle which allows increasing of recognition reliability.

In the context of current, in general, extremely problematic situation with integration ethnic minorities that have appeared on territory certain countries, both as a result recent migrations (European countries) and traditionally living their (the states post-Soviet space, Asia, also, some reservations, USA), positive experience this regard looks especially relevant.
