The presented software package is an advanced analogue of the famous HBOOK and, in part, ROOT packages. The main features of the package are as follows.
Standard operations (accumulation, simulation, ...transformation) are extended up to 5D objects.
A new type of transformations of objects has been introduced, the x-transformation, which includes convolution of distributions.
Objects are accessed mainly by alphabetical name.
The formation of the object space is carried out using a data file, where the user can choose the form of setting attributes.
Automatic adjustment of object attributes is possible (only the number of channels is set).
The number of channels for each of the axes of the object is unlimited.
Operations between two objects (addition, subtraction, etc.) are possible with mismatched attributes.
Data output is carried out in two forms, for graphics and for fit.
Group operations are provided for visualization, outputting files for graphics.
All programmes are written in FORTRAN-90.
The investigation has been performed at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR.

The suggested package FUMILIM, based on famous FUMILI minimization package, has the following advantages: multi-optional user interface; speed advantage when the number of parameters is high enough; ...there are options to ignore wrong experimental points and correct experimental errors. The preliminary scan is envisaged for complicated tasks.
The new version of FUMILIM is capable to work efficiently with multidimensional experimental points, described by a vector function.
For heavy user’s functions the parallel fit is envisaged by means of OpenMP service.
The package contains intrinsic user’s functions, namely, polynomial, sum of Gauss and sum of Rayleigh functions. All of them can be used without the definition of the parameter initial values.
The program of plane track reconstruction via drift chambers and straws, which can be combined with single detectors, is also included in the package. The capacity of this program is about of 0.5⋅106 tracks per second (at 2.8 GHz).
There is a number of less important improvements of the package.

The third edition of Flow Cytometry Guidelines provides the key aspects to consider when performing flow cytometry experiments and includes comprehensive sections describing phenotypes and functional ...assays of all major human and murine immune cell subsets. Notably, the Guidelines contain helpful tables highlighting phenotypes and key differences between human and murine cells. Another useful feature of this edition is the flow cytometry analysis of clinical samples with examples of flow cytometry applications in the context of autoimmune diseases, cancers as well as acute and chronic infectious diseases. Furthermore, there are sections detailing tips, tricks and pitfalls to avoid. All sections are written and peer‐reviewed by leading flow cytometry experts and immunologists, making this edition an essential and state‐of‐the‐art handbook for basic and clinical researchers.
