Polystichum Roth is one of the largest and most taxonomically challenging fern genera. South American species have a rich and complex nomenclatural history; many of the early names are inadequately typified. Based on extensive examination of original type material, we designate eleven lectotypes (including Aspidium mohrioides, Aspidium montevidense f. imbricata, Aspidium montevidense f. squamul...

The motion of linear and circular DNA molecules is studied under pressure driven buffer flow in a 50 nm slit channel with arrays of transverse 150 nm deep nanogrooves. Transport occurs through two states of propagation unique to this nanogroove geometry, a slow, stepwise groove-to-groove translation called the "sidewinder" and a fast, continuous tumbling across the grooves called the "tumblewee...

1. The global eradication of smallpox was confirmed in 1980 (resolution WHA33.3). From 1981 to 1986, WHO undertook a programme to implement the post-eradication policies contained in the 1979 report of the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication and endorsed by the Health Assembly in resolution WHA33.4.

Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of six clinical Borrelia miyamotoi isolates from the Russian Federation. Using two independent next-generation sequencing platforms, we determined the complete sequence of the chromosome and several plasmids. All strains have an Asian genotype with 99.8% chromosome nucleotide similarity with B. miyamotoi strain FR64b.

In recent years, in view of the transformation in education in the Russian Federation, it has been necessary to introduce different technical facilities and new educational methods into the educational process. An introduction of training systems into the educational process concerns every educational method. New methods use various results from such fields as pedagogy, psychology, cybernetics,...

The appraisal system as a means of disciplinary or termination decisions support is a common target of legal disputes by employees involving charges of unfairness and bias. Since labor and employment laws do not mandate performance appraisals, the latter have become one of the most critical tools of risk management that subject an employer to various liabilities. The study provides comparative ...

To examine N-isotope ratios ((15)N/(14)N) in tissues and shell organic matrix of bivalves as a proxy for natural and anthropogenic nutrient fluxes in coastal environments, Pinctada imbricata, Isognomon alatus, and Brachidontes exustusbivalves were live-collected and analyzed from eight sites in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Sites represent a variety of coastal environments, including more urbanized, ...
