Linnaea borealis L. is an evergreen shrub of the forest zone with overwintering leaves on two and three shoots. It has a wide area of distribution in the north hemisphere. It is characterized as one of the accompanying species of dark coniferous forests, it is often found in the lower part of the high-mountain belt and in the arctic zone. In life form, the species is a land-spreading shrub with elongated pubescent rooted shoots, up to two meters long and lateral erect or ascending branches 1-15 cm high. In addition to the glandu l ar pubescence of the branches covered with short appressed gray hairs. In linnaea actively formed adventitious roots, allowing shoots to take root, securing them and increasing the area of nutrition. The studies were conducted in the protected areas of the Northern Baikal region, in the cond i tions of the Barguzin biosphere reserve. The territory of the reserve occupies the Central part of the Western macro-slope of the Barguzin ridge and belongs to the Baikal mountain-taiga province, and the Baikal lake basin as part of the Baikal-Dzhugdzhur mountain-taiga region [1]. The material was collected in the valley of the Bolshaya river, in the period 2014-2016. During the classification of forest v e getation, 43 geobotanical descriptions involving the Linnaea borealis L. were used. Herbarium-in the amount of 200 sheets, 106 species of higher vascular plants were registered. Descriptions were made by standard geobotanical techniques. The abundance of species was taken into account on the scale of Braun-Blanquet. Used the dominant-determinant approach to taxonomical units flori a nop, formation, Association. When studying the phytocenotic confinement of L. borealis, it was found that the species is found in communities of larch and pine forests. During operation was a llocated 4 group associations (Carex macroura+Viola uniflora+Orthilia secunda+Pleurozium schreber i , Bergenia crassifolia+Ledum palustre+Pleurozium schreberi, Poa pratensis+Spiraea media, Rosa acicularis+Vaccinium vitis-idaea+Rubus arcticus+Equisetum scirpoides+Melica nutans+Aconitum barbatum) relating to two formations, and one type of vegetation.

The purpose of the study is to develop the system of areographi classification of birds and on its basis to carry out the arealogichesky analysis of fauna of guseobrazny birds of the basin of Lake Baikal. The arealogichesky classification of birds having two-level hierarchical structure is constructed: complexes and groups. The first level – complexes show the fields of distribution of types within the continent or continents. The second level – groups unite types which field of distribution occupies the concrete region in continents, subcontinents with the indication of longitudinal distribution and width and high[1]rise distribution within particular climatic zones. The two-level system of creation of a typology of areas is prime and convenient in use. On this classification the typology of the areas 34 nesting, the flying and aestivating species of guseobrazny birds of the basin of Lake Baikal is given. They were distributed on four arealogichesky complexes: evraziatsko-North American, afroyevraziatsky, evraziatsky and evraziatsko-аustralian which include 23 longitudinal and width arealogichesky groups. More than a half of types falls into to an evraziatsky complex. On width making the types having subboreal, temperantny and arkto-hypoarctic distribution that is caused by the zonal and landscape and ecoton position of the region providing a variety of conditions of dwelling of birds prevail.

The processes of combustion of hydrocarbon systems in the engines of vehicles and furnaces lead to a sharp increase in CO₂ in the atmosphere. Combustion of oil, gas and coal is accompanied by the release of up to 5 billion tons in the year of carbon dioxide. With decreasing a forest area we can see increase in the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere (from 0.03 to 0.041%). Therefore, the problem of cleaning off gases from carbon dioxide is one of the most actual problems today. The disadvantages of the currently existing methods of utilization of carbon dioxide are insufficiently high degree of purification of waste gases, high operating costs in their implementation, as well as the possibility of their implementation only at high concentrations of pollutants in the off-gases. The aim of the study is to determine the optimal parameters for the catalytic purification of waste gases from carbon dioxide in solutions of trifluoroacetic acid. The stated task is achieved by the described method of flue gas cleaning, including pumping the gas flow through a container filled with 5.0-10.0 M aqueous solution of trifluoroacetic acid saturated with oxygen, separating the formed by-products, recycling the latter, recovering the spent solution of trifluoroacetic acid by saturation with oxygen and recirculation of the regenerated solution for pumping. The absorption capacities of solutions of trifluoroacetic acid were studied as a function of solution concentrations and pH values. The absorption of carbon dioxide in solutions of trifluoroacetic acid was investigated at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. TFA was preliminarily distilled (boiling temperature 72.4 °C) and purity was monitored by UV spectroscopy. Unreacted CO₂ at the outlet from the system was absorbed in the removable traps by NaOH solution, the pH of which was continuously monitored with a glass electrode. The amount of hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate formed by the interaction of CO₂ with NaOH solution was determined by potentiometric titration. The amount of CO₂ reacted was calculated from the titration results during the passage of the off-gas through the trap. It has been shown that flue gas cleaning from carbon dioxide using solutions of trifluoroacetic acid as a catalyst is carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with an efficiency of 100%.

Characters of the wing morphology have significant importance in the systematics and taxonomy of the Dolichopodidae family, but there are only a few studies concerning the variation in wing shape of dolichopodid flies. The detailed analysis of interspecific and generic wing shape variation can provide data for the taxonomic studies, while understanding of the selective forces shaping wing morphometric characters is important for studying the pattern of their evolutionary change. A geometric morphometric analysis was carried out on 72 species belonging to 5 genera of the subfamily Dolichopodinae in order to determine whether wing shape can be successfully used as a character for taxonomic discrimination of morphologically similar genera and species. Canonical variate analysis based on wing shape data showed significant differences among the studied genera and species. The analysis revealed wing shape variation, most of which was associated with displacement of posterior crossvein and apical sections of veins CuA₁ , R₄₊₅ and M₁₊₂, the two latter of which exhibited a trend toward convergence. Discriminant analysis allowed for the correct genera identification from 74.50% to 91.58% specimens. The overall success for the reassignment of specimens to their a priori species group was 84.04% on average. The detailed analysis of the variation in wing shape in the subfamily and out group taxa revealed evolutionary trends, the functional significance of which is discussed further. Database of wings shape will be created which can be used for taxonomic diagnostics of the family representatives and to conduct the studies of morphometric characters for various taxonomic levels.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the integral atmospheric moisture content (W) between the ERA-Interim reanalysis data and spectral sun-sky photometry of the international global network AERONET over the Eurasian continent. For the period 1979-2015 (end of XX - beginning of XI century) a correlation analysis was performed between W and the elements of the general circulation of the atmosphere (GCA), as well as the quasi-biennial oscillations (QBO) of the zonal wind in the equatorial stratosphere. The ERA-Interim reanalysis cells containing monthly average values with a latitude-longitudinal resolution of 0,125^o × 0 ,125^o around local stations of observation of sun-sky photometers of the AERONET network were selected and long-term climate indexes of the GCA were attracted: North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Arctic Oscillation (AO), North Pacific Oscillation (PNA) and El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO - Nino 3.4). Information on average values (west Phase - negative values, east. Phase - positive) of the QBO index at the level of 30 Mbar was obtained according to NOAA/ESRL PSD. A comparative analysis of the average annual and average monthly W values between the AERONET and ERA-Interim network data over the Eurasian continent showed that there is a difference in average values, but at the same time there is a high correlation (over 0.8) indicating temporal consistency. The ERA-Interim reanalysis data are suitable for considering spatial and temporal changes of W. An analysis of the relationship of W with the GCA and the QBO of the zonal wind in the equatorial stratosphere over the period under consideration (1979-2015) indicates the predominance of the meridional atmospheric circulation over the Eurasian continent at the end of the XX - beginning XI century.

Distilled water, with the exception of a small natural ionization, consists of H₂O molecules. There is no reason to believe that these molecules, with the exception of small mutual deformations, differ from the H₂O molecules in a pair. This is confirmed by the Raman spectra and infrared absorption of water obtained by the works of Rahman and Stillinger. A computer simulation of a cluster of 55 molecules is performed. The representation of electric potential in both the five-center and four-center models implicitly implies the presence of non-electrostatic forces in the molecule. In the absence of such forces, according to the well-known Irnshaw theorem, it would be impossible to have stable molecules. We consider the pressure of supersaturated steam with a change in temperature, based on molecular rotation, only if we assume that the overwhelming number of water molecules has a free orientation without the influence of an external electric field. Molecular clusters, which we will study, are formed by molecules in contact with each other, able to rotate around their center under the action of intermolecular electrostatic forces. To test the suitability of our potential for modeling, the binding energy of a molecule in water and the sticking coefficient of a vapor molecule falling on a water surface will be calculated. These two parameters are also found from the saturation curve as calibration values. Thus, we model virtual intermolecular interactions between water molecules.

The paper discusses cluster analysis methods for identifying and finding the main parameters of a thunderstorms. Unlike many statistical procedures, cluster analysis methods are used in most cases when there are no a priori hypotheses about classes and the researcher is in the descriptive stage of the study. To solve the problem, it is proposed to use successively two methods of cluster analysis using the Mahalanobis metric and the normalized еuclidean metric. The results obtained using the first method do not contradict the data used in modern theory and practice, but, nevertheless, require a certain accuracy in determining the shape of a cluster. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, as a result of the use of certain algorithms, “fibrous” clusters are created, in other words, clusters of elliptical shape. On the other hand, thunderstorm clouds in the shape of an ellipse do appear on the fronts, called frontal thunderstorms. In this case, the shape of the hearth is determined by the air flow, pushing against a thunderstorm cloud on the leeward side, giving it an oval shape. The use of the second method makes it possible to exclude noise in the construction of maps of densities of lightning discharges and to improve the accuracy of determining parameters during lightning registration by passive radio engineering methods.

The subject of the article is the common verbal formulas that make up typical places of narration in the folklore of the Turkic, Mongolian and Tungus peoples. Formulas or relatively stable phrases expressing certain actions of the heroes of epic narratives represent a typical feature of the genres of a heroic epic and samples of a heroic fairy tale, or a heroic fairy tale, which has many common features with the epic and exists in the folklore tradition at the same time as the epic. There is a relationship of interdependence between these forms. The study aims to identify and demonstrate similarities in the epic of Yakuts and Tungus peoples (Evenki and Evens) in order to discover the main direction of the influences of epic traditions (general cultural influence of the Yakut epic on the Tungus and the local manifestations of the impact of the local Tungus epic on the Yakut epic). The compared formulas and the motifs expressed by them, common to the Yakut and Tungus epics, have clear parallels in the epic and heroic tales of the Mongolian peoples (Buryats and especially Kalmyks) and in the epic folklore of the Turkic peoples of Siberia (Tuvans, Shors, Altaians). The main object of the study are units of text: themes, motives, concepts and means of their expression. Formulas representing a particular motif or epic concept have the properties of variation (reduction, sometimes distribution); being stable units of the text content plan, these text units in their verbal design are able to show implementations of different subject codes, which creates variants of formulas without changing the structure of the epic text. In the formulas describing the path of the epic hero, the Tungus and the Yakuts use the phenological and meteorological code (the names of the seasons and weather conditions) in Kalmyks, the chronological code of the names of time periods prevails. In the formulas describing the heroic food, the main role is played by the appeal of the hero with large and small bones of eaten animals.

The relevance of the article is due, firstly, to the deformation of traditional spiritual values in modern society and the need for their revival, which leads to a regular increase in attention to the problems of Russian classics and its transformation in the works of modern authors, and secondly, to a small degree of study of the continuity of the traditions of F. M. Dostoevsky in the prose of Yu. V. Buyda. The purpose of the article is to identify the ideological significance of the reminiscences of F. M. Dostoevsky at the different levels of the Buyda’s story “Klims”: problematics, architectonics, systems of images, motives, symbolic and philosophical overtones. The research objectives: 1) to describe the originality of the spatial organization of the story of Yu.V. Buyda in its correlation with some features of architectonics in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky; 2) to identify the main principle of constructing a system of images in the text of Yu.V. Buyda and determine the nature of the influence of the compositional principle of the system of characters in the novels of F. M. Dostoevsky; 3) to establish the interactions of classical and modern works at the level of motives, symbolic images. To achieve the goals and objectives, comparative and typological research methods are used, allowing to concretize the picture of the world in the Buyda’s story in the context of the transformation of the elements of the poetics of F.M. Dostoevsky. As a result of the study, we come to the following conclusions. The main spatial oppositions that characterize the life model of the Buyda’s heroes, are “garbage – corner”, “house - mental hospital”, “factory of dreams”- shebeen”; the system of images is built on the antithesis of “the monster is a victim”, while the invariant of the image of abused and suffering children is F. Dostoevsky, the image of the disabled Buyda’s child; the motivs of violence and blood, which enter into antinomic relations with Christian motifs, become central in the story. The symbolic images of the axe, the horse, the Church, the Light turn out to be connected with the basic concept of the story about the possibility of overcoming destructive tendencies by modern society and its ability to embark on the path of spiritual rebirth. The study of the influence of classical heritage on modern prose in terms of the ideological continuity and originality of poetics, contributing to the development of the literary process and the deepening of the artistic concept of man and the world, seems relevant and promising.

The article studies the patterns of word accentuation in oral public (scientific) speech, i.e. the connection of a strong prosodic accentuation of a word with its semantic properties in context. The scientific significance of this study is determined by the need to analyze such important issues for modern linguistics as the correlation of the prosodic emphasis of the word with its semantics, communicative load and context features. The purpose of the study is to establish the composition of the most frequently accentuated Russian words and to qualify their semantic and discursive properties in oral scientific monologue. The material of the study is the tape recording of a spoken scientific speech, represented by the genres of lectures, reports and speeches at conferences, symposiums, scientific seminars, discussions. The investigated corpus of oral scientific texts was processed by the method of auditory analysis, combined with data from the contextual-semantic analysis and methods of quantitative and statistical evaluation of the accentuation of the word in the flow of speech. In the article the idea of the cognitive-semantic nature of accentuation of a word as one of the ways of functioning of a word in the associative-verbal network of the native speaker of the language, in its lexicon, is put forward. In this regard, the analysis of the material was aimed at the search for system-forming parameters of the relationship between the emphasis of the word and the meaning of the word in Russian oral scientific speech. The study showed that the phenomenon of accentual marking of a word is reflected in the semantic, informational (thesaurus) and motivational-pragmatic levels of the structure of the langual personality. The placement of the phrase-prosodic accents in the utterance is subject to the communicative task of the speaker and is aimed at constructing an oral scientific text as a coherent whole. Phrase-prosodic accentuation emphasizes the movement of information in the text, and, actualizing the semantic possibilities of potentially accentuated units of language, serves as an important communicative marker of the organization of the sounding text for the addressee of the message.

Translation in Yakutia has a rich history, which dates back to 1706, the missionaries, political exiles, clergymen, representatives of the first Yakut intelligentsia, and others engaged in translation. Later, they were joined by professional translators and writers, their works were published in the literary magazines “Cholbon” and “Polar Star”, which made an invaluable contribution to the development of the translation of Yakutia. The translations published in the “Cholbon” magazine are unexplored samples of the translation pen, and therefore the relevance of their study is beyond doubt. The aim of the study is a genre-thematic analysis of translated texts published in the literary magazine “Cholbon” from 1926 to 2017. In accordance with the goal, the following tasks were set: extraction by complete sampling of all translated works published in the Cholbon literary magazine from 1926 to 2017; classification of the collected material according to genres, topics, authors and translators. The material of the study was the texts of translations published in the literary magazine “Cholbon” from 1926 to 2017. In developing the proposed research, the following methods were applied: the method of continuous sampling, descriptive and comparative-comparative methods. According to the study, in the literary magazine “Cholbon”, 1391 works were translated. In the genre plan, poems (1197) dominate, in our opinion, due to the peculiarities of the poetic style and size; the stories (110) are represented by a variety of topics; the smaller number includes poems (24), storys (17), novels (11), songs (9), fairy tales (9), plays (5), sonnets (4), dramas (3), letters (2). The published works are devoted to the themes of war, love, the struggle of good and evil, they celebrate the people, homeland, nature, people, work, friendship, describes human suffering in solitude, captivity, about death, joy and hardship of life.

The article deals with the concepts of law in the linguistic consciousness of modern youth, as well as the dynamics of its meaning. Polysemy of the concept of law leads to the absence of strictly verbalized meaning. In the explanatory dictionaries there are five models of the meaning of the word "right", this leads to a complication in understanding the essence and value of law. The main goal of the research is to reveal the associative field of the concept of law in the speech of students of the law faculty and students of the non-legal profile of the North-Eastern Federal University M.K. Ammosov. In the scientific literature, the results of research on the linguistic consciousness of representatives of one culture are mainly given. In this study, the students are students of two cultures (mainly Yakut and Russian). Attention is given to the semantic meaning of the concept of law and the degree of formation of the sense of justice of the younger generation. Research methods: free associative method, statistical analysis and modeling of associative connections. Interpretation of data using the following procedures: 1) all reactions of the subjects are counted and distributed across associative fields; 2) the analysis is carried out among the contents of images of consciousness reflecting the associative links of each group. These methods showed a meaningful analysis of the images of consciousness and the relation to the concept of the right of two groups of students. The work is carried out at the junction of psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics and linguoculturology. In the study, significant attention is paid to the associative links between the concepts of law and freedom. The analysis led to the conclusions: firstly, the differences in the understanding of law were not revealed in the language consciousness of students of the law faculty and students of other faculties; secondly, the word law does not make sense as an advantage, a privilege, a prerogative, a privilege; Third, in modern youth, the concepts of law and freedom become concepts that are close in meaning, and in associative connections- interchangeable.
