    This book addresses ew challenges in soft matter and colloids. It presents timely reports on colloidal self-assembly, soft matters from liquid crystals, nanoparticles in liquid crystals, hydrocolloids, hybrid nanosystems, nanosuspensions, and dispersion of nanoparticles in different media, soft matter processing and modern experiments related with soft matters. EDITORS: L. A. Bulavin N. I. Lebovka

This book, the third in the series Behavior of Radionuclides in the Environment, is dedicated to Fukushima. Major findings from research since 2011 are reviewed concerning the behavior of radionuclides released into the environment due to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, including atmospheric transport and fallout of radionuclides, their fate, and transport in the soil-water environment, behavior in freshwater, coastal and marine environment, transfer in the terrestrial and agricultural environment.      Volume III discusses not only radionuclides dynamics in the environment in the short- and mid-term, but…

     In the collective scientific monograph, researchers consider the issue of a comprehensive approach to carrier selection, analyze and study methods for determining flight options, choosing a stationary rfid reader, and a methodological approach to anti-aircraft missile system accounting; improve methods of parameterization of fuzzy cognitive models; analyze the logistical support of troops based on the experience of combat operations in Afghanistan.      The chapter, prepared by D. I. Khvalin, an employee of the ISP NPP of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, shows the advantages of…

     The monograph contains results of the coordinated research project conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency with the purpose to explore the use of new isotope techniques together with conventional ones to better assess the hydrogeological conditions in the geological settings of nuclear power plant sites and to provide basic information that may be used for predicting the fate of radioactive contaminants, such as tritium, released into groundwater in case of a radiological accident and/or during normal operations. To this end, research projects were conducted in ten countries…

The principles of forming an optimal network of radioecological monitoring of contaminated territories for acute and remote periods after a radiation accident are outlined, which takes into account the ecological features of the territory. A comprehensive system for assessing the degree of radioecological criticality of the territory, forecasting the radiation situation, monitoring the agrosphere and radiation quality control of products on different spatial scales has been developed.

     The monograph deals with scattering and bound states in a system of several particles. In the area of intermediate energies, elastic collisions, reactions of nucleon transfer, collapse and scattering with excitation of low-lying collective states of target nuclei were analyzed on the basis of the diffraction nuclear model. A microscopic formalism has been developed, which makes it possible to perform highly accurate calculations of cross sections and polarization characteristics of reactions. In the area of low energies, using the formalism of Fadeev’s integral equations and the method of…

     The purpose of the work was to analyze and generalize the experience of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chornobyl NPP, the development of scientific recommendations on radiation protection, taking into account the radiation effect on a person and his environment through the prism modern radiation threats. The main medical consequences of the accident at the Chornobyl NPP, the state of health and medical care…
