We investigated the bulk electrical conductivity and microbial population distribution in sediments at a site contaminated with light nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL). The bulk conductivity was measured using in-situ vertical resistivity probes; the most probable num­ ber method was used to characterize the spatial distri­ bution of aerobic heterotrophic and oil-degrading mi­ crobial populations...

We have analyzed the topological organization of chromatin inside mitotic chromosomes. We show that mitotic chromatin is heavily self-entangled through experiments in which topoisomerase (topo) II is observed to reduce mitotic chromosome elastic stiffness. Single chromosomes were relaxed by 35% by exogenously added topo II in a manner that depends on hydrolysable adenosine triphosphate (ATP), w...

Studies were made of the influence of ICRF-187 on the functional and morphological effects of very large cumulative doses of doxorubicin given over a prolonged period of time. Adult beagles of either sex (6.2-11.6 kg) were given doxorubicin (1.75 mg/kg i.v.) either alone or 15 min after ICRF-187 (25 mg/kg, i.v.) at 3-week intervals. Control dogs received ICRF-187 (25 mg/kg, i.v.) or 0.9% saline...

In this study, PP films were modified with an organic pro-degradant in different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 wt.%), exposed in the first step of degradation to natural ageing for 100 days followed by biodegradation in simulated soil in the respirometric test for 100 days. At the end of the combined degradation process the PP samples were characterized according to their morphological and physica...

The cyclotron frequency ratio of $^{187}\mathrm{Os}^{29+}$ to $^{187}\mathrm{Re}^{29+}$ ions was measured with the Penning-trap mass spectrometer PENTATRAP. achieved result $R=1.000\:000\:013\:882(5)$ is date most precise such measurement performed on ions. Furthermore, total binding-energy difference 29 missing electrons in Re and Os calculated by relativistic multiconfiguration methods, yield...
