New mechanisms of biological effects of electromagnetic fields

ATP production in mitochondria depends on the nuclear spin and magnetic moment of Mg²⁺ ion in creatine kinase and ATPase. Consequently, the enzymatic synthesis of ATP is an ion-radical process and depends on the external magnetic field and microwave fields that control the spin states of ion-radical pairs and influence the ATP synthesis. The chemical mechanism of ATP synthesis and the origin of biological effects of electromagnetic (microwave) fields are discussed.     

On evaluation of infection probabilities for different age groups

It is well known that evaluation of parameters for any mathematical model is always very important and often a very difficult problem. This is especially true for agents-based models because as a rule the evaluation of an agent's parameters can be made only based on available information from the higher levels of a complex system. Such problems can be ill-posed or even have a non-unique solution. That is why there is no general algorithm for solving these problems and a researcher has to search for it for every specific model type.     

Assessment of energy partitioning in PSII complexes using chlorophyll fluorescence: reviewing the different approaches toward the definition of a unified method

Based on the examination and quantitative comparison of the approaches used to assess the energy partitioning in photosystem II, the unified method was proposed to calculate the contribution of the components of nonphotochemical quenching.
