Modern classification and molecular-genetic aspects of osteogenesis imperfecta by A. R. Zaripova, R. I. Khusainova

“…In the early 1980s, mutations in two genes of collagen type I (COL1A1and COL1A2) were first associated with an autosomal dominant inheritance type of osteogenesis imperfecta. Since then, 18 more genes have been identified whose products are involved in the formation and mineralization of bone tissue.  …”

Possibilities of using rheological parameters as physical indicators of soil structural changes by V. V. Klyueva, D. D. Khaydapova

“…Shear resistance parameters of the studied soils (shear stress at the end of the linear viscoelasticity range – LVE-range tL, shear stress tF at the Crossover point and maximum shear stress tmax) were more informative and indicated pronounced differences between soil genetic horizons in contrast to viscoelasticity parameters (deformation γL at the end of the LVE-range and the integral zone Z) when comparing natural and arable soils. …”

Advancing interpretation of incoherent scattering in ice-penetrating radar data used for ice core site selection by E. L. Mutter, N. Holschuh

“…Future higher-resolution sampling of fabric in ice cores would allow for more quantitative interpretation of incoherent scattering and its amplitude, but we show that the qualitative nature of incoherent scattering has the potential to inform us about the continuity of climate records at prospective ice core sites and should be considered when evaluating the nature and quality of basal ice.…”

THEORETICAL ASPECTS REGARDING MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR H,P METHOD USED IN THE MESH STRUCTURES by Olimpia Mioara PECINGINĂ

“…If geometry is complex analytical methods cannot be applied, or their application involves large errors for the results. From an informational standpoint a finite element is a model that should allow more precise processing larger volumes of information and the item must be used for meshing a large number of degrees of freedom and interpolation function has a large number of parameters for a better approximation.…”
