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 basics of “Semiotics of Art” as sign nature of art science are stated in this book in historical and ontological aspect. System defi nition of basic notions, terms and categories of semiotics as empiric and theoretical experience is given. Furthermore, the research of character, structure and types of signs is made. Special attention is paid to applied and none-applied arts; analysis of semiotic systems (special and integral) is displayed; historical similarities of semiotics development as humanities knowledge are marked.

The book contains a glossary of terms, tables and schemes, illustrations and music note samples. The main target is to give an integral and observable summary of the discipline, the development of which can be continued in academic research and university teaching.

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.
