Creation of reliable system of target protection demands research of various ways of counteraction high-speed elongated Razor Blades projectiles.This paper considers the interaction of projectiles with plates and rods thrown towards by explosion.At TOC contact projectiles and rods form a crosswise configuration.Deformation and destruction of projec

Fire suppression and climate change have increased the frequency and severity of wildfires, but the responses of many organisms to wildfire are still largely unknown.In this study, we assessed the risk of habitat loss for amphibians, mammals, and reptiles caused by wildfires in central Mexico.We accomplished this by: (1) determining the likelihood

The Rostov Dome is located in the south of the Russian Platform.In the Late Miocene this area was embraced by the Eastern Paratethys.The implications of a recently Boots developed Neogene chronostratigraphy to the studied area are discussed.The Sarmatian regional stage corresponds to the upper part of the Langhian, the entire Serravalian and the lo

Extreme climatic conditions may alter historic host-pathogen relationships and synchronize the temporal and spatial convergence of multiple infectious agents, triggering epidemics with far greater mortality than those due to single pathogens.Here we present the first data to clearly illustrate how climate extremes can promote a complex interplay be
