Inter-individual relationships particularly in socially living mammals often require a well-developed communication system. Vocal and olfactory signals are the most important for the communication of rhinos, however, their vocal communication has been investigated to a very limited extent so far. White rhinos have the most developed social system out of all the rhinoceros species and vocal sign...

the paper is devoted to solution of some problems in nuclear power station generating unit intellectual control systems using genetic algorithms on the basis of control system model development, optimizations methods of their direct quality indices and improved integral quadratic estimates. some mathematical vector models were obtained for control system multicriterion quality indices with due ...

Rosatom State Corporation is one of the world leaders in construction nuclear power plant (NPP), keeping a ten-year portfolio foreign orders at level 140 billion $. Taking into account long period plant, significant amount capital investment, number participants investment-construction project, critically important for constructer organizer to identify and consider possible risks project implem...

Adult chimpanzees produce a unique vocal signal, the pant-grunt, when encountering higher-ranking group members. The behaviour is typically directed to a specific receiver and has thus been interpreted as a 'greeting' signal. The alpha male obtains a large share of these calls, followed by the other adult males of the group. In this study, we describe the development of pant-grunting behaviour ...

Bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate adaptation properties, cell fate or commitment to sporulation. The infectious cycle of Bacillus thuringiensis in the insect host is a powerful model to investigate the role of quorum sensing in natural conditions. It is tuned by communication systems regulators belonging to the RNPP family and directly regulated by re-internalized signaling peptides. On...

We present a method for pairwise Assessment of Nonfunctionalization Times (pANT) in processed pseudogenes. Contrary to existing methods for estimating nonfunctionalization times, pANT utilizes previously calculated probabilities of nucleotide substitution as explicit rate measurements, rather than assume that the substitution rates are the same for all nucleotides. Thus, the method allows a mor...

The characterization in vitro of a newly discovered promoter (Psar) in the bacteriophage P22 immI region is described. Psar is located within the ant gene and is directed toward the major immI promoter, Pant. The entire intercistronic region between the P22 arc and ant genes (69 bp) is transcribed. The initiation and termination of sar (small antisense regulatory) RNA transcription are unusual....

This paper is intended to consider a new approach for obtaining common fixed points under strict contractive conditions in metric spaces without assuming continuity or completeness ( or closedness) of the range of any one of the involved maps. The results proved by us can be extended to the nonexpansive or Lipschitz type mapping pairs. Our results substantially improve the results of Pant [ Dis...

We have examined the binding of Mnt repressor to operator DNA in vitro and have determined how this binding affects the level of transcription from two nearby promoters, Pant and Pmnt. Mnt binds to a region of DNA that overlaps the startpoint of transcription of Pant and the -35 region of Pmnt. Mnt represses transcription in vitro from Pant and enhances transcription from Pmnt. Protection and i...
