Thermodynamic properties of one-component and multicomponent systems, equilibrium in a homogeneous multicomponent system and equilibrium conditions in a heterogeneous system, the Gibbs’ phase rule and its application in status diagrams, are considered. Nonideally diluted and regular solutions are analyzed; basic thermodynamic functions are obtained for binary regular solutions. The main provisions of quasi-chemical theory of solutions and its application in regular solutions are given. Quasi-chemical interpretation of short-range order is seen. Component solubility in different phases is studied. Based on status diagrams, vibrational entropy of dissolved impurity was estimated. The…

The monograph is devoted to new directions in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of the aircraft type. Particular attention is paid to authors’ developments in the field of remote monitoring of the environment in cases of radiation accidents at the nuclear power plants. The developed and improved technical means for remote monitoring, as well as the results of practical tests are presented. The second part deals with the methods of definition of the condition of the fields and entomological drug insertion on crops. The book is intended for specialists…

Types of magnetic fluid systems, technology of synthesis and perspectives of their application in medicine are considered. A special attention is paid to stabilization of the ferrofluids, namely by charge and by surfactant. A detailed description of the method of small-angle neutron scattering in the structural diagnostics of magnetic fluids is carried out, the features of neutron diffraction in the investigation of multicomponent and polydisperse ferrofluids are listed as well. Structural parameters of magnetic liquid systems are described depending on the conditions of their synthesis and methods of stabilization. It…

The problems of nuclear safety as a complex system are reviewed. It is shown that the reliability and safety of a nuclear power plant determined especially strict compliance with the priorities of the Security over the economic, political and other factors. Failure to observe this principle has become a real cause of severe accident, accompanied by the release of radionuclides into the environment. The lessons of Chernobyl remain unlearned, what confirmed the accident at the Fukushima-1 in Japan. The second edition includes an analysis of the radio-ecological aspects of four…

The mechanisms of radiation-stimulated influence on polymerization and amortization in films of fullerite C60 and C70, including doped non-iron metals, structural sensitization of carbazole-containing polymers supplemented by C60 molecules, defective states in nanotubes and linear polyhedral systems of isotactic polypropylene nanocomposites, poly (vinyl) chloride with multi-wall carbon nanotubes are considered. The given quantum-chemical calculations for systems of C60 molecules with non-metallic metals Sn, Ti, Fe, Cu, In, Bi indicate the possibility of formation of ordinary and dimer complexes. The most stable among them were the polymer complexes C60-Sn-C60 and C60-Ti-C60.…
