All this entailed a radical reform of the education system in Uzbekistan. Education had to be reoriented towards meeting the common national interest and ensuring competitiveness in...

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z, a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. Let L(M, τ) be the algebra of all τ -measurable operators affiliated with M and let S0(M, τ) be the subalgebra in L(M, τ) consisting of all operators x such that given any ε > 0 there is a projection p ∈ P(M) with τ(p) < ∞, xp ∈ M and ‖xp‖ < ε. We prove that any Z-linear derivation of S0(M, τ) is spa...

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Uzbekistan has struggled with the burden of a growing tuberculosis (TB) epidemic. A changing healthcare system and the stagnant economy have hindered efforts to produce sustainable, long-term change in the state of the disease.

Today, one of the important topics, which are mentioned in architecture, is the relationship between architectural works with each other and way of effect of such works on them. On the other hand, under current conditions and despite existing trends which look for their own architecture, it is crucial important to interpret how contemporary architectural works are affected by previous architect...

The classical biological control program for exotic saltcedars (various Tamarix species and hybrids) has involved the assessment of different populations of the leaf beetle Diorhabda elongata (Brullé) s.l. that are promising for release in areas of North America that are located south of 37 degrees N latitude. We report here the overwintering survival, phenology, and voltinism of four D. elonga...
