Morphological characteristics of the small urban water bodies of Kaliningrad on the example of the Letniy and Zimniy ponds system
This study examines the morphometric characteristics of the Letny — Zimny pond system in Kaliningrad as factors potentially influencing the ecological condition of small artificial water bodies. Based on hydroacoustic surveying conducted with the "AsCor" software-hardware complex, which simultaneously recorded current depth and geographic coordinates of the surveyed bottom areas in real time, bottom relief maps of the ponds were created for the first time. Key morphometric parameters...
Opportunities for Using Data on the Perpetrator in Human Trafficking Investigations
In contemporary society, the fight against human trafficking has become a significant global issue. Human trafficking is considered a highly latent crime, often perpetrated by organized transnational criminal groups (organizations). Consequently, law enforcement agencies face certain challenges in detecting, investigating, and preventing these crimes. Addressing these issues can be facilitated by the competent use of criminalistic characteristics by law enforcement personnel. The aim of this study...
Physical and chemical characteristics, antioxidant properties and the effect of the newly synthesized peptide on lipid deposition in cells
A novel peptide, CG-16, with the sequence CHAECGAACKEFCLEG, was designed and synthesized. Studies were conducted to assess its physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and effects on lipid deposition in cells in an in vitro experiment. It was established that the CG-16 peptide does not contain antigenic determinants. A search across the PeptideAtlas, UniProt, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases confirmed the uniqueness of the synthesized peptide. The prediction...
