Environmental Biophysics

Ця книга призначена для студентів, які вивчають навколишнє середовище. Буде корисна для студентів, для яких англійська не є рідною мовою і які прагнуть покращити знання професійної англійської термінології, що дозволить краще зрозуміти сучасну наукову літературу, приймати активнішу участь в наукових міжнародних конференціях, симпозіумах, семінарах.This text-book: 1) provides a description of physical surrounding of living organisms; 2) elucidates the ability of living organisms to respond to the change of external factors due to receptor systems and to choose optimal conditions of survival; 3) gives information on the principles of operation of modern instrumentation for measure-ment of the environmental parameters with special emphasis on automated system and remote sensing of environmental components; 4) reviews transfer phenomena and processes which characterise the interaction of living or-ganisms with the environment; 5) considers the main principles of the solar radiation budget and the energy balance of physical and biological systems with the environment. This text-book is based on the concept of transfer phenomena – irreversible processes which are important from the point of view of viability of living organisms; the spatial transfer of physical values such as entropy, mass, energy, momentum, electric charges in the envi-ronment occurs due to these phenomena. Such an approach makes it possible to unite all bio-physical processes that characterise the interaction of living organisms with the environment. This text-book is intended for the students of Environmental Sciences. It will be useful for those students whose native language is not English and who want to improve the knowledge of professional English terminology that will make it possible to better understand modern literature, take a more active role in scientific missions abroad, get into contact with foreign colleagues, and enhance attendance at international conferences, symposiums, seminars, etc.Participation of Prof. Yuriy Posudin in research program in Japan was possible due to Fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Fellow’s ID No.: S-07117 in 2007

The Music Sound

A guide for music: compositions, events, forms, genres, groups, history, industry, instruments, language, live music, musicians, songs, musicology, techniques, terminology , theory, music video. Music is a human activity which involves structured and audible sounds, which is used for artistic or aesthetic, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. The traditional or classical European aspects of music often listed are those elements given primacy in European-influenced classical music: melody, harmony, rhythm, tone color/timbre, and form. A more comprehensive list is given by stating the aspects of sound: pitch, timbre, loudness, and duration. Common terms used to discuss particular pieces include melody, which is a succession of notes heard as some sort of unit; chord, which is a simultaneity of notes heard as some sort of unit; chord progression, which is a succession of chords (simultaneity succession); harmony, which is the relationship between two or more pitches; counterpoint, which is the simultaneity and organization of different melodies; and rhythm, which is the organization of the durational aspects of music
