Higher plants’ species composition of the fouling on the restaurant “Golden Spike” building includes 5 species of trees and 19 species of herbaceous plants. The roof fouling consists of woody shoots only and was found on the south-eastern and north-eastern sides of the roof. The foundation species diversity is richer and consists of herbaceous plants mainly. The analysis of the whole data shows the most active participants of fouling in the Moscow region. They are: Bétula verrucósa Ehrn., Bétula pubéscens Ehrn. and Urtíca dióica L.

Compounds of lead and cadmium, possessing high toxicity, a cumulative inhibit production process, reduce a salad biomass gain. Research showed that oppression of root system was shown in reduction of number of small backs, and on the main roots there were necrosis damages. Biomass of green part of salad of a grade of “Lolo Biond” decreased almost by 3 times with increase in the maximum allowable concentration of Pb with 0,5 to 10, and root system by 5 times. Influence of cadmium was even more significant. So biomass of land part of salad of a grade of “Lolo Biond” at presence of cadmium decreased by 7 times, and root system by 10 times in the same the maximum allowable concentration.

The aim of the article is a new methodology based on a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and spectroscopy in the near infrared region for the analysis of quality of medicines and dietary supplements and identifying of their counterfeits.

In present time the intensification of erosion processes is global feature of coastal zone and the most rapid and significant changes are characteristic for accumulative coasts. The features of the sea coast dynamics of the Hong Ha River delta (Vietnam) during last 100 years are analyzed in presented paper. The Hong Ha River delta coast modern dynamics is characterized by combination of accumulation processes near delta mouths and wave erosion between its. The main factors determining the modern dynamics of the delta sea coast are the wave activity with the surge-tidal fluctuations and solid runoff reduction. Current coastal construction cannot protect populated areas from flooding. Reorientation to the integrated coast construction which includes the beaches is realized. Control of Hong Ha river delta coastal erosion is difficult and long-range objective in the framework of the integrated coastal management.

The article deals with the problem of pollution of the coastal zone of the Gulf of Guinea, especially of the coast of Côte d’Ivoire. For residents of the coastal zone of Côte d’Ivoire seafood play very important role in the diet, accounting for more than 65%. In this regard, the use of certain pesticides and production of hydrocarbons near the coast of Côte d’Ivoire cause serious damage to the health of the population of the coastal regions. In this paper, an example of two regions of the country: Zhakvil and dabou examines the causes and factors of the mass death of fish and other categories of seafood contamination.

The article presents environmental assessment method and high performance liquid chromatography with solid phase extraction for detection of aldehydes in water. Presents a modernized method gives a number of significant advantages: considerably time procedure reduces sample preparation, compared with traditional liquid extraction, easy to use and significantly reduces the amount of materials used and reagents in the determination of aldehydes in water. Separation of substances was achieved on reversed-phase C18 column chromatography using a mixture of deionized water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. Determination of formaldehyde in water was performed at the absorption wavelength of 360 nm. Linearity was achieved in the concentration ranges from 1 to 200 mkg/dm3. Values of repeatability (RSD) presented the method was 15% and the total precision is 10% for control samples at all levels, including lower limit of quantification.

Alpha-fetoprotein is one of the best known embriospecific proteins, which is used to diagnose fetal abnormalities and tumor processes of the gastrointestinal tract and liver and has a pronounced immunotropic and detoxifying effect, and also a direct apoptotic effect on tumor cells. The appointment of AFP mice at the oldest age in our experiments, dramatically increased survival and markedly increased the relative weight immunotropic bodies, apparently, due to the characteristic of the AFP general effect of improving the functions of tissues and detoxifying action. Thus, AFP has a significant bioactivity and anti-aging effectname, that allows to consider it as a candidate for a geroprotective agent.

The article assess the cholera dynamics in Zimbabwe, environmental factors contributing to the cholera crises and the 2008-2009 cholera epidemic; humanitarian aid strategies and how they reduced the cholera case fatality rate from approximately 4.4 in January 2009 to 0 in June 2009.

Teaching and learning translation of professionally-oriented texts has received a new dimension thanks to ICT. Methodological, didactic and psychological analysis of teacher and students practical activity is proposed in order to achieve the goal to go beyond providing information when interpreting information, to reveal deeper meaning, to identify cultural and pragmatic plans of the text in the course of the analysis before translation of the text on ecology.
