| Title | Emergent Behavior in Gambling Markets Reveals Golden Section Scaling |
| Authors | Cameron L. Jones |
| Category | Mathematics |
| Abstract | Racetrack gambling is an example of a complex feedback system between the expectation of winning and the probability of losing. This paper examines one aspect of the economic process of gambling, by looking at how humans choose to wager money on the outcome of three different race types: thoroughbred, harness, and greyhounds. A relationship called the Golden section (1:1.618) can then be used to model the division between the amount bet to Win or Place. This information is provided by the Totaliser and is available online, and therefore represents the set of discrete decision events that contribute towards the market. The results show that for races involving a human element (a human rider) for thoroughbred and harness races, the public select to divide wagers into win and place ratios reflecting emergent global decision-making towards Golden section scaling. |

| Title | Identification of potato cells plasma membrane receptors to ring rot pathogen extracellular polysaccharides |
| Authors | Lidiya A. Lomovatskaya, Anatoly S. Romanenko, Nadia V. Krivolapova |
| Category | Chemistry |
| Abstract | Extracellular polysaccharides /EPS/ produced by bacterial phytopathogens are known to take part in triggering or suppressing plant defense reactions. However, the functions of these compounds synthesized by ring rot pathogen - bacteria Clavibacter miсhiganensis subsp. sepedonicus /Cms/, are obviously studied insufficiently.
In this work the EPS Cms sorbtion on protoplasts isolated from mesophyll cells of two potato cultivars with contrasting resistance to this pathogen was studied. EPS were conjugated with a fluorescent label - rhodamine isothiocyanate.

| Title | Rhetoric as a connection of text - and hypertext system. The ancient rhetoric model and its use for a theory of online-liter |
| Authors | Fee-Alexandra Haase |
| Category | IT and Computing |
| Abstract | The word rhetoric is a derivation from the Greek expression which meant a scientific discipline and theory for talk. So rhetoric in this early meaning in ancient literature is an art with theoretical background of practical speech (rhetorica utens et docens) and several rules. Basis for s speech is the materia which can be structured as words (verba) of a speech to illustrate things (res). |

| Title | Smoking and its Poisons |
| Authors | Allan Britton |
| Category | Chemistry |
| Abstract | Health risks related to exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) are well established. The revised WHO Air quality guidelines for Europe conclude: “ETS has been found to be carcinogenic in humans and to produce a substantial amount of morbidity and mortality from other serious health effects.... Acute and chronic respiratory health effects on children have been demonstrated in homes with smokers ... and even in homes with occasional smoking … there is no evidence for a safe exposure level.” |

| Title | Unified model of weights for the selection of informative factors
|
| Authors | David Kisets |
| Category | Mathematics |
| Abstract | The paper discusses the linear, concave and convex diagrams of weights as mathematical models of relative significances in a system of independent quality factors, representing in terms of probability law the complete group of events. On the basis of proposed criteria the paper compares the diagrams and proves that the linear diagram may successfully serve as unified diagram of weights that enables the extensive application of the principle of information cyclicity as the instrument of optimization. |
