The paper presents an analysis of theoretical and experimental studies of national and foreign scientists developing “self-cleaning” (self-degassing) materials for personal protection, providing increased survival of people under the influence of warfare organophosphorus compounds. The use of enzymes as components of modern protective materials obtained using nano- and chemical-biological biocatalytic technologies is summarized.

The issue of increasing the reliability and durability of hydraulic units of closed hydraulic systems of agricultural equipment is considered, due to better cleaning of the working fluid by filtration units. The design of a self-cleaning filter with hydraulic automatic control of backwashing of slotted filtration elements with a counterflow of the working fluid is proposed. A special stand has been developed for simulating the operation of a self-cleaning filter of closed hydraulic systems of agricultural equipment. Experimental studies on a special stand confirmed the efficiency of the proposed design and made it possible to identify its main advantages in comparison with domestic and foreign counterparts. Based on the analysis of transient processes with increased pressure pulsation of agricultural equipment of a closed hydraulic drive, the actual pressure drop at which automatic flushing is triggered was established, compared with the calculated one, in which it was impossible to take into account such real factors as friction in the sealing units, the characteristics of the springs, distortions, tightness of valve pairs, fluctuations in dimensional chains. The most optimal operating mode of auto-washing equipment with a choke diameter of 1.0 mm has been determined. The auto-washing equipment was switched on at a pressure drop of 1.5 MPa (15 atm) and in an improved mode – pressure pulsations with an amplitude of 2 MPa (20 atm) when the auto-wash was turned off decreased in time to 0.12 s. It is noted that the developed self-cleaning filter for closed hydraulic systems of agricultural equipment will improve the reliability and increase the service life of the elements of hydraulic units and the machine itself as a whole.

In this paper, we report the results of theoretical and experimental studies on basic organophosphorus compounds using zero-field NMR, where spin dynamics are investigated in the absence of a magnetic field with the dominant heteronuclear J-coupling. We demonstrate that the zero-field NMR enables distinguishing the chemicals owing to their unique electronic environment even for identical spin systems. Such information can be obtained just in a single measurement, while amplitudes and widths of observed low-field NMR resonances enable to study of processes affecting spin dynamics. An excellent agreement between simulations and measurements of the spectra, particularly in the largest frequency J-couplings range ever reported in zero-field NMR is demonstrated.

Mammalian spindles are generally large and may contain over a thousand microtubules (MTs). For this reason they are difficult to reconstruct in three dimensions and many researchers have chosen to study the smaller and simpler spindles of lower eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the mammalian spindle is used for many experimental studies and it would be useful to know its detailed structure.We have been using serial cross sections and computer reconstruction methods to analyze MT distributions in mitotic spindles of PtK cells, a mammalian tissue culture line. Images from EM negatives are digtized on a light box by a Dage MTI video camera containing a black and white Saticon tube. The signal is digitized by a Parallax 1280 graphics device in a MicroVax III computer. Microtubules are digitized at a magnification such that each is 10-12 pixels in diameter.

Abstract. Employing one correlational and two experimental studies, this paper examines the influence of attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant) on a person’s experience of equity in intimate relationships. While one experimental study employed a priming technique to stimulate the different attachment styles, the other involved vignettes describing fictitious characters with typical attachment styles. As the specific hypotheses about the single equity components have been developed on the basis of the attachment theory, the equity ratio itself and the four equity components (own outcome, own input, partner’s outcome, partner’s input) are analyzed as dependent variables. While partners with a secure attachment style tend to describe their relationship as equitable (i.e., they give and take extensively), partners who feel anxious about their relationship generally see themselves as being in an inequitable, disadvantaged position (i.e., they receive little from their partner). The hypothesis that avoidant partners would feel advantaged as they were less committed was only supported by the correlational study. Against expectations, the results of both experiments indicate that avoidant partners generally see themselves (or see avoidant vignettes) as being treated equitably, but that there is less emotional exchange than is the case with secure partners. Avoidant partners give and take less than secure ones.
