The manual contains a systematic presentation of all sections of the course "Russian language" with an overview of the material presented in the most common school teaching materials, as well as diagrams and samples of analysis of all language units and comments on these analyses. The task of the manual is to generalize and systematize students' knowledge of language and speech. The manual is compiled in accordance with the theoretical guidelines adopted in pre-university training at the Faculty of Philology of Lomonosov Moscow State University, and is intended for school students who study Russian in depth (at the profile level), and teachers.

The dictionary contains more than 40,000 terms (words and phrases) reflecting the basic concepts of the use of the armed forces, the management of troops, the organization and conduct of hostilities, the maintenance of peace and security, as well as a wide range of terms on the provision of troops, on the device and use of military equipment and weapons of various types of armed forces.

The book is devoted to the description of species, hybrids and varieties of representatives of the genus Rowan (Sorbus L.), which have been grown and observed for several decades in the open ground collection of the Botanical Garden of Biology Faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

 A detailed description of cultivated varieties and natural species with an indication of their origin and biological properties is given. Data on reproduction, agricultural technology, decorative and food use of rowan trees are presented. Attention is paid to the history of selection work and rowan cultivation in our country. Data on winter hardiness based on long-term observations of rowans under the climate conditions of the Central zone of European Russia are presented.

The publication will be useful for specialists in the fields of botany, fruit growing and landscape design, and also for students and a wide range of amateur gardeners.

The book contains about 700 problems for finding extremes for the finite-dimensional case, for problems of classical calculus of variations, optimal control and convex programming. It contains elements of functional analysis, differential calculus and convex analysis.

The book contains the theory necessary for solving problems and examples. The basis for solving all problems is a single principle that goes back to Lagrangian. Some of the tasks are given with solutions. There are a large number of difficult tasks that can be used as term papers and theses.

For university students majoring in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, as well as for graduate students and researchers.

The monograph summarizes and systematizes the results on the fundamental problem of plasma physics related to the study of physical processes occurring in low-temperature non-stationary multicomponent gas-discharge plasma created by microwave and transverse discharges in high-speed flows of chemically active mixtures. This new field of plasma physics includes both fundamental research of the mechanisms and kinetics of atomic-molecular transformations in plasma, as well as applied aspects of optimization of plasma-chemical processes in supersonic air and air-hydrocarbon flows.

For researchers, graduate students and students specializing in the field of aerodynamics, plasma physics, chemical and physical kinetics.

The book contains interviews of 2015-2021 with the Doctor of Philology Igor Alekseevich Pilshchikov, and a transcript of his report "Russian Quantitative Formalism of the 1910s-1930s as a precursor of Digital Humanities" with subsequent discussion (online seminar "Current methods of philological research", IRLI RAS, September 15, 2021). The discussions are devoted to the place of philology in the modern digital world, the creation and maintenance of scientific electronic libraries, digital archives and databases, Russian formal school as a precursor of modern quantitative formalism in literature research.

The Septuagint, being the fi rst written biblical translation, was also the early testimony of understanding of the sacred text. It was not inferior by age to the scrolls of Qumran and earlier than the New Testament books, as well as than the written form of aramaic targums. The whole literature of Judaeo-Hellenism is associated with it. For the early Greek Christian communities it was the fi rst form of Scriptura Sacra. Opposition of angels and demons, idea of creation of the Universe «ex nihilo» were perceived by the European thought through the Septuagint. The study of this textual witness now seems to be more and more important and, from other side, more and more complicated, due to the scale and the depth of sources, and also due to the crisis of understanding.

Many diseases are beyond one medical discipline, and it turns out to be a serious obstacle for their research. Creation of multidisciplinary group involving all the specialists interested – is a key to solving this problem. Such a decision was made long ago, in 1980's, by the Russian Academy of Sciences concerning Sjögren's syndrome. Uniting together efforts of several academic institutions has led to a serious breakthrough in the research of fundamental basis of this complicated pathology. Due to this, nowadays the Russian Federation is one of the ten leaders in this problem solution. The book reflects a long-term experience of the authors as well as analysis of the world literature data to present the peculiarities of clinical picture, diagnostics and contemporary methods of curing patients with Sjögren's syndrome.
