Books

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 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 book is intended for students, post-graduates, university teachers and researchers, specialized in arts, as well as for everyone interested in art studies, history and theory of art.

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.

The manual highlights theoretical and practical issues of the morphology of the modern Russian language. The material is presented in the volume provided by the mandatory program for students of philological faculties of universities. New studies on the categories of gender, number, case, type, time, etc. are involved. The manual is written on the basis of a lecture course given by the author at Moscow State University. 

For students of philology, graduate students, teachers of schools with a humanitarian orientation.

The textbook summarizes in a concise form the basic data on the structure and morpho-functional relationships of all organ systems of vertebrates, taking into account their individual development and existing ideas about phylogeny. It is intended for the reader who already has some training in the field of vertebrate morphology.

It is intended for senior students specializing in the field of zoology and paleontology of vertebrates, can also be used by graduate students, teachers, researchers.

Textbook. 2nd edition. The textbook discusses the principles and methodology of comparative historical linguistics, presents the history of the Proto-Slavic language, contains information about the territory of settlement of the ancient Slavs and their contacts with native speakers of other languages. A special section is devoted to the history of the sound system of the Proto-Slavic language and the later phonetic transformations.

The book is intended for students and postgraduates of philological faculties as a textbook for the course "Comparative grammar of Slavic languages" and as a textbook for the course "Introduction to Slavic Philology".

The textbook, created by one of the prominent scientists in the field of Slavic linguistics, includes the following sections: philological introduction; phonetics; texts from Old Slavic monuments intended for practical classes and containing all the basic data that are studied in the course of the Old Slavic language; dictionary; essays on morphology.

3rd edition, revised and supplemented. CD-ROM. 

The textbook by M.L. Remneva, based on modern scientific concepts, gives a detailed description of the system of the Old Slavic language of the IX-XI centuries, analyzes the process of its formation starting from the initial characteristics of the Indo-European language, traces the fate of specific phenomena of the Old Slavic language in the history of national Slavic languages. 

CD-ROM. In this edition, the book is supplemented with an electronic hypertext course prepared on its basis (authors M.L. Remneva and O.V. Dedova), as well as texts and a dictionary (compiled by V.S. Savelyev).
