The article discusses the possibilities of using various geoarchaeological methods for a burial mound located in the Caspian Lowland. The investigated mound group “Bogomolnye Peski – 1” is a vivid example of a unique monument, since it was originally constructed during the Bronze Age (the first structure) and then completed in the Early Iron Age, and during the Middle Ages, it served as a burial site for nomadic tribes. The reconstruction of the natural environment of the Western Caspian region in the second half of the Holocene, as well as diet composition among the ancient population, are the result of the study of buried soils of different ages under the mound structure, palynological and micromorphological analysis, review of anthropological characteristics of bone remains in the main and inlet burials and analysis of the isotopic composition of bone

The problem of the evolution of cell volume fraction in a spherical aggregate composed of cells,
extracellular matrix, and fluid is considered. The aggregate is surrounded by extracellular matrix. The
problem formulation employs a multiphase model of a biological continuum, previously developed by the
author, consisting of two actively interacting solid phases and a fluid. The propagation of ...

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

Low-frequency vibrations play an essential role in biomolecular processes involving DNA such as gene expression, charge transfer, drug intercalation, and DNA–protein recognition. However, understanding the vibrational basis of these mechanisms relies on theoretical models due to the lack of experimental evidence. Here we present the low-frequency vibrational spectra of G-quadruplexes (structures formed by four strands ...
