Identification of railway vehicles is relevant for the conversion from automatic control systems with manual data input to automatic modeling environment of train and vehicle. The most effective and economic inventory number recognition is optical recognition. But there is question about veracity in such technology. This paper represent the qualitatively new approach for optical recognition based on building integral robust constructive features of vehicles and allowed to significantly increase level of recognition veracity. Proposed technique investigated in introduction subject of automatic vehicle number recognition system (ARNV).  Computational experiments demonstrated relevance of proposed technique for using in optical recognition of vehicle numbers.

Intracellular microinjection - a method of direct introduction of cellular organelles and solutions of substances into living cells. The technique of microinjection into nerve cells by puncturing their processes - axons , which are often surrounded by a dense glial sheath, are described. To puncture the sheath a special injector transmitting microvibrations of ultrasonic frequency on the injection capillary was designed. The results of using the proposed microinjection technique for introducing fluorescent marker in large axons of model object - crayfish ventral nerve cord, to visualize the morphology of axons, were shown.

The authors suggest two approaches to constructing hypotheses about the interactions of proteins on the basis of the results of tracking the changes in their levels during the studied biological process. The first approach is based on the use of machine mining of biological texts, which are freely available on the Internet. The second is related to the execution of database queries on binary protein-protein interactions . To specify the experimental context in obtained protein networks, filtering of the protein entities on the basis of needed ontology from database Gene Ontology was used.
