CHANGES IN BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF BROWN FOREST SOILS UNDER AGRICULTURAL USE
DescriptionAgricultural use leads to a significant transformation of soils. The first to use the soil for cultivation react most sensitive biological indicators. The purpose of the study - to establish the effect of using the brown forest soils for planting apple orchards for their biological activity, in particular on the humus content, enzyme activity (catalase and dehydrogenase). For the control, we have selected forest area adjacent to arable land. Because of violations of the natural vegetation, there are changes in hydrothermal conditions of the soil. Humidity soil plowed off under forest, while temperatures gets considerably higher. Plowing, compared with the control, revealed significant loss of humus (50%) in the upper most disturbed horizons. In the lower horizons of the values of this index were quite low (1.5%) on all sections of the test. The decline in humus content, as well as overheating and draining soil tillage results in a change of enzymatic activity not only in the surface layers, but also in the whole profile. Due to the movement of the most favorable hydrothermal conditions in the underlying horizons, an increase of enzyme activity over control values in the deeper layers of the soil. The article shows a possibility of the use of biological indicators as indicators of changes in the brown forest soils as a result of agricultural use

HISTORY OF THE DONETS RIDGE PETROPHYTIC VEGETATION STUDY (A REVIEW ARTICLE)
DescriptionThe article reveals historical aspect of the Donets Ridge petrophytic vegetation study. The stages of formation of concepts and terms in the typology of vegetation of the rocky outcrops of the steppe zone

Description
The research of the territory adjacent to Novocherkassk state district power station, for the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (on an example of benzo(a)pyrene) is presented. The benzo(a)pyrene content in soils has been determined with a method of subcritical water extraction. The content of benzo(a)pyrene in soils of the territory adjacent to Novocherkassk state district power station has been estimated. It is shown, that contents of benzo(a)pyrene excess over maximum permissible concentration in soils of five-kilometer zone around the companies

BIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE BLACK SOIL DEPOSITS IN THE BOTANICAL GARDEN OF SFU
DescriptionWe have studied changes in flora, humus content, peroxidase activity and polyphenoloxidase in ordinary black soils in natural succession of different-age deposits. We have also selected stage successions in uneven deposits

LOWER DON SOILS STABILITY TO HEAVY METALS CONTAMINATION
DescriptionThe mathematical model of soil stability to heavy metals contamination is proposed. The Lower Don soils contamination with Cu, Pb and Zn was calculated

Description
In the article, we have studied the effect of lead contamination, an alternating magnetic field, their combination on such groups of soil microorganisms, as ammonifying, amylolytic, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and micromycetes. The pollution had a significant and different effect on the number of soil microorganisms. The nature and extent of this effect varied depending on the level of impact of each factor, and they were not linear

COMBINED METHOD OF EDGE DETECTION FOR X-RAY MEDICAL IMAGES USING ACTIVE CONTOUR APPROACH
DescriptionThe method of edge detection for X-ray medical images is proposed in the article. The method uses active contours approach for object edge refinement and combines advantages of active contours and those of the method proposed by author in his earlier researches. The method is suggested to be used in interactive diagnosis systems

MANAGEMENT OF AN UNIVERSITY: EM-PLOYMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOP-MENT OF GRADUATES
DescriptionNeed of goals management by university on an indica-tor "employment" is proved. The problem definition is executed and ways of improvement of a control sys-tem by university and market policy are offered. Re-sults of the analysis of external impacts on an university as social and economic system, the maintenance of an exit of system, relationships of cause and effect of an exit and a system entrance are given

THE MATHEMATICALLY BASED CHOISE OF VISCOELASTIC IN SHUNT GLAUCOMA SURGERY
DescriptionThe dramatic lowering of intraocular pressure (hypotony) is developing during glaucomatous surgery due to the formation of the new aqueous humor outflow. The calculations of the flow in the fluid balance parameters have shown, that for the normal intraocular pressure maintenance in the postoperative period the fluid flow out of the anterior chamber should not exceed 0,04 microliter in minute. The intensity of the aqueous humor outflow through the shunts with different parameters does not depend on the shunt length. The shunt with the inner hole radius 0,025 mm is the most safe as it provide the less outflow. The experimental comparative study of the static viscosity of the most widely used viscoelastics in ophthalmological surgery was carried out. It was stated that used in eye surgery viscoelastics on the basis of 1%, 2% and 3% sodium hyaluronate possess the viscosity, that differs in 10 and 100 times and has significant influence on the flow intensity out of the anterior chamber when the new outflow tracts are formed. The mathematically based choice of the most optimal relationship between the viscoelastics physical parameters and the inner hole size of the shunt type glaucoma drainage devices was established. Shunt with the inner hole radius 0,05 mm and simultaneous use of 2% and 3% sodium hyaluronate solution is the most safe for the maintenance of the eye tonus during the first 5 days after glaucoma surgery. The presented correlation allows to increase the safety of the surgical treatment of the patients with the refractory glaucoma

ENZYME ACTIVITY OF SEVERAL SOILS OF THE CRIMEA
DescriptionThe article considers the enzymatic activity and some other ecological and biological properties of zonal soils of the Crimea (cambisol, Chromic cambisol, different subtypes of chernozems). We have revealed significant differences in catalase, dehydrogenase, polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, invertase for soils of the Crimea, which can not be explained only by the content of soil organic matter. Despite the low humus content of the soil, some have a high level of some enzymes. The level of enzyme activity depends on the reaction medium, the content of carbonate and other soil properties. We have also revealed that the agricultural use of brown soils under vineyards leads to a significant change in their properties and enzymatic activity
