On 11 November 1999, a self-exciting magnetic eigenfield was detected for the first time in the Riga liquid sodium dynamo experiment. We report on the long history leading to this event, and on the subsequent experimental campaigns which provided a wealth of data on the kinematic and the saturated regime of this dynamo. The present state of the theoretical understanding of both regimes is delin...

An increased number of legionellosis cases in 2011 has been reported in Latvia, compared to the ten previous years. A total of 30 legionellosis cases (1.35 per 100,000 inhabitants), including 19 females, have been confirmed until the end of September 2011. The majority of cases (n=23) were inhabitants of the capital city Riga. The reason for the increase in legionellosis is unclear. Twenty-six ...

Methods Consecutive patients hospitalised to the 12-bed Toxicology and Sepsis Clinic of Riga East Clinical University Hospital with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock were enrolled within 24 hours of admission. Baseline carotid to femoral and carotid to radial PWV were determined at enrollment and after 48 hours of initial measurement. Patients showing an improved SOFA score at 48 hou...

Most approaches used in EAs for problems in which the environment changes from time to time, try to preserve the diversity of the population. One of those approaches applies a new biologically inspired genetic operator called transformation (Simões & Costa, 2001). We tested two EAs using transformation (TGA and ETGA) and two other classical approaches: random immigrants (RIGA) and hypermutation...
