The Spectral Dependence of Skin Sensitivity to Light in Immature LYMNAEA STAGNALIS L. Specimens
By carrying out a quantitative evaluation of appearances of the shadow reflex, we obtained a spectral dependence of skin light sensitivity of immature specimens of Lymnaea stagnalis L. We performed experiments on juvenile specimens with a maximum shell size of 15 mm, to rule out the influence of the sexual dominant on the appearance of the reflex response. With its maximum at ...

Quantative characteristics of the CSP method
The quantitative characteristics of the CSP method, which poses to estimate its effectiveness for fracture hydrocarbon reservoirs imaging using scattered seismic waves, are defined and investigated. The most important is the sensitivity coefficient, which shows how small diffractors, compared with the shadowed reflectors, may be to be detecting by the CSP method. These dependencies from acquisition geometry and other parameters are numerically studied.

The impact of the food embargo on consumer preferences and cross-border practices in the Kaliningrad region
The Russian food market has been a fascinating subject for researchers investigating food security risks and ways to mitigate them since the embargo was imposed in 2014. The Kaliningrad region, an exclave of Russia, responded more sensitively to the restrictions than any other territory of the country due to the heavy dependence of its food market on imported finished products and raw materials, as well as the transit from Russia via third countries. This study aims to explore ...

Its exclave position and territorial isolation from mainland Russia make its economy particularly sensitive to external influences. The region’s development slows down under unfavourable external conditions, whilst, in more prosperous years, it occurs at a faster rate than throughout the country [17].

The associations of material phenomena (in this case nucleotides and amino acids) led to the establishment of semiotic links, resulting in mechanisms of information storage and transmission, allowing...
