The plot of "Eugene Onegin"
This book examines the dynamics of the characters and destinies of the central characters, the meaning and correlation of the central episodes of the novel, the paradoxical nature and complexity of its plot structure. The functions of the author’s diverse appeals to “foreign” texts—works of Russian and foreign literature—are clarified, which allows us to read Pushkin’s masterpiece in many ways in a new way. The book is addressed to teachers of schools, lyceums, gymnasiums, high school students, applicants, students, philologists, as well as all admirers of Pushkin’s poetry.
The book is devoted to describing the author's experience in creating ultra-large linguistic resources for automatic text processing within the framework of modern information retrieval and information analytical systems. The proposed methods for presenting knowledge and processing information are compared in detail with similar projects being developed around the world. The book contains a large amount of experimental data on the currently achieved quality levels of various automatic text processing and information retrieval technologies.
The book is intended for specialists, researchers, graduate students and students interested in issues of automatic text processing, the use of linguistic resources in information retrieval, as well as information retrieval in general, and practical issues of using ontological resources.
Television in Search of Television
The book by Professor S.A. Muratova dispels the prejudice that many people have that “real” television began in the post-Soviet era. Comparison of eras allows the reader to trace the history of gains and losses of Soviet television. The author’s regular articles and reviews were published from the mid-60s – the time of the first perestroika on the air and the bold attempts of the new muse to become the great continuer of all arts. Publications of the 80s and 90s reflect the state of Soviet broadcasting, which offered a different system of values. The second edition of the book introduces the author’s speeches in recent years and concerns the current period of broadcasting evolution.
The work examines current issues in the theory and methodology of global studies: the general subject field of global studies is outlined, the content of the main categories is analyzed, and some methodological approaches are presented. Particular attention is paid to the study of global problems, global processes and globalization. The book is intended for specialists, teachers, graduate students, students, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of global studies.
Probability theory and mathematical statistics
The book is based on a course of lectures given by the author (professor of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Modeling of the I.M. Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas) at the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University, at universities and research centers in Warsaw, Berlin, Liege, Brussels , USA. The book consists of three parts: probability, processes, statistics. The text contains about 200 problems and explanatory examples. For undergraduate and graduate students of universities and institutes, as well as for reference and for persons studying or using applied mathematics in their research.
Probability theory, mathematical statistics and elements of the theory of possibilities for physicists
The book consists of three parts. The first part presents all sections of probability theory for physics and mathematics specialties. The limit theorems of probability theory and the theory of random processes, which is important for physical applications, are considered in more detail.
The second part presents the main sections of mathematical statistics and considers its applications in the theory of measuring and computing converters as means of physical measurements and in the theory of statistical solutions.
In the third part, the elements of the theory of possibilities are considered as an alternative probability theory of the randomness model, which allows empirically reconstructing mathematical models of objects, including stochastic ones, whose probabilistic models cannot be constructed empirically. Applications of the theory of possibilities in problems of optimization of solutions, analysis and interpretation of measurement experiment, etc. are considered.

Theory and practice of soil design
The monograph is devoted to the scientific, methodological and experimental foundations of soil engineering - an innovative direction in geoecology, soil science and landscape engineering, which allows using models of the physical organization of soils to design and create soil objects (constructozems) optimal in their characteristics using natural and synthetic materials — soil conditioners. In the theoretical part of the work, edaphic factors, processes and models of the natural structural and functional organization of soils are analyzed, which form the fundamental basis of technological modeling to identify optimal parameters of soil structures at the design stage. In practice, the proposed variants of soil structures have demonstrated high efficiency in conditions of irrigation farming and land scaping in the arid climate of the Persian Gulf countries (UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan), as well as greening and landscaping of urban areas with high anthropogenic load on the example of a metropolitan city.
For specialists in the field of soil science, environmental engineering, landscape architecture, organizations working in the field of agriculture, recultivation, landscaping and integrated land improvement, students, postgraduates of universities in the specialties "Ecology" and "Soil Science".
