Clay-hydroxide and clay-oxide adsorbents. pp. 5--9
Summary: The conditions for modifying a clay mineral (montmorillonite) structure by solutions of inorganic salts, have been studied. The concentration of salt providing maximum uptake of obtained clay-hydroxide and clay-oxide adsorbents, has been determined. Results of adsorption and structural studies of samples heated at 550 °C show that structure of the clay mineral changes with increase of the dehydration temperature. Sorption capacity and specific surface of such samples decreased 1.1--1.5 and 1.1--2.3 times, respectively, compared to those treated at 300 °C.

Diffusion of 2-methylbut-3-ene-2-ol through polyethylene films. pp. 28--32
Summary: The temperature dependence of permeability for 0.05 and 0.1 mm thick polyethylene films to gaseous 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol has been experimentally obtained. Diffusion coefficients of 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol in air have been measured and calculated. The possible causes of disagreement between experimental and calculated values are discussed.

Electrochemical preparation of photosensitive CdTe films on Ti substrates. pp. 33--37
Summary: Photoelectrochemical behavior of CdTe films deposited at constant potentials exceeding the equilibrium potential ECd2+/Cd0 by 10 and 235 mV, has been studied. Increase of underpotential shift decreases the concentration of cadmium adatoms code-posited with Te during electrosynthesis of CdTe. This results in non-stoihiometric composition (tellurium excess) and formation of crystallites with p-type conductivity. Study of the photopotential spectral dependence showed that spectral response boundary for films deposited at 235 mV underpotential shift, appears to be significantly (up to 100 nm) shifted to long wavelength area, compared to those deposited at 10 mV underpotential shift.

Use of wearproof anodes based on iridium, manganese, cobalt and nickel oxides for preparation of sodium hypochlorite. pp. 38--41
Summary: Influence of active layer structure, anode base material and conditions of electrolysis upon current efficiency and sodium hypochlorite concentration has been investigated. It has been established that presence of iridium oxides in the active layer substantially increases efficiency of sodium hypochlorite preparation process.

Defects of the (100) single-crystal silicon surface etched in potassium hydroxide-based solutions. pp. 42--45
Summary: Micro- and nano-relief details of (001) single-crystal silicon surface, forming upon etching in potassium hydroxide water solutions of various concentration at different temperatures as well as with new modifying additives, KMnO4 and KNO3, have been investigated. It has been shown that the most probable reason for formation of Si(001) defects is temporal local masking adsorption of silicon etching products on the surface.

Threonine extraction from water solution using dinonyl-naphtalenesulfonic acid. pp. 46--50
Summary: Threonine extraction by dinonylnaphtalene sulfonic acid has been investigated. It has been shown that the best extraction results are obtained at low pH values (~2). Presence of a hydrophilic group in the amino acid molecule impedes threonine transfer from water into organic phase. Increasing the percentage of threonine cationic form virtually does not affect water content in extractant. In presence of the zwitterionic form, water sorption decreased. This fact can be explained by intermolecular bond formation due to OH group presence in the side chain of threonine molecule . Existence of various ionic forms of threonine in extractant phase has been confirmed by IR-spectroscopy.

Peroxidase-catalyzed co-oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine in presence of aminophenols. pp. 64--71
Summary: The mixed inhibition of the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation at 20 ° C by p-aminophenol (p-AP) at pH 5.8-7.4 and o-aminophenol (o-AP) at pH 6.3 has been characterized by the inhibition constants Ki varying in the range (2.8-6.4)T(T4 M and by the stoichiometric inhibition coefficients f, being approximately 2.0 for n-AP and 2.6 for o-AP. m-Aminophenol and N-acyl-2-aminophenol decrease the rate of the TMB oxidation and at concentrations of ~0.5 mM stop the process of peroxidaze oxidation. N-acyl-4-aminophenol slightly activates the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of TMB at 20 ° C and pH 6.3. Kinetic parameters of inhibition for the TMB peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation by different aminophenols have been compared.

Effect of herbicide tralkoxydime on catalytic activity of glucose oxidases, peroxidase and urease. pp. 72--81
Summary: The efficiency of tralkoxydim influence on the catalytic activity of glucose oxidases (GO) from Aspergillus niger and Penicillium funiculosum, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), soybean urease and GO-HRP pair, has been compared in the water-organic and reverse-micellar media. Tralkoxydim decreases the activity of GO and urease, but activates oxidation of tetra-methylbenzidine and o-phenylenediamine in presence of HRP and GO--HRP pair. The efficiency of tralkoxydim influence on HRP activity depends upon the substrate being oxidized, dimethylformamide concentration in the water solution, as well as presence of buffer salts in solution and low-molecular components of the mushroom cultural broth. Urease and HRP are enzymes most sensitive to the effector action of tralkoxydim (5--100 µM).

Effect of graminicide "grasp" on activity of pancreatic phospholipase A2. pp. 82--87
Summary: Hydrolysis of natural phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phospatidylserine (PS) in micellar phase formed by surfactants with different charge (Triton X-100, sodium desoxycholate and cholate), before and after treatment of the enzyme with tralkoxydim, its chemical precursor (MT-1) and some of its metabolites (MT-3 -- MT-6), have been studied. It has been found that only MT-1 shows substantial inhibiting effect. Lipolysis rate in micellar phase formed by PC and sodium desoxycholate in presence of MT-1, is two times less than the control value. Effect of MT-1 -- MT-6 has been detected only at the beginning step of the reaction.

Use of complexing cation-exchanger resin for investigation of actinides' state and migration ability in soils. pp. 88--96
Summary: Possibilities for application of carboxylic resin for studying state, migration ability and biological availability of actinides in soils have been shown, using plutonium isotopes as an example. Carboxylic resin can extract into water phase the organic components usually present in soil solution of the plant root nutrition soil zone, together with actinides bound with such compounds. In the presence of carboxylic resin, radioactive elements in migratory active (mobile) forms transfer into the soil solution under milder condition than in the traditionally used method of selective extraction by 1M HCl. Application of carboxylic resin makes it possible to study the state of actinides in more details and receives more comprehensive information.

Effect of processing temperature and curing agent composition on structure formation of elastomeric compounds. pp. 97--100
Summary: It has been shown that, to obtain acrylate rubbers with equally distributed cross-links, vulcanization must be done below 160°C. Vulcanization at higher temperatures leads to increase of destruction and structure formation rates and, subsequently, produces irregular structure of the elastomeric composition.
