Superstructure compression in binary compounds of AB and А3В compositions

The paper focuses on the formation of metallic compounds depending on the relation between several atom parameters among which is the size factor. The analysis of the binary compounds of intermetallic alloys with the simple stoichiometric compounds of АВ and А3В is presented in this paper. The block diagrams are plotted for various structures depending on th [delta] [omega]/[omega] size factor. Close-packed lattice structures are investigated herein

Изучение влияния количества осадков на результаты измерения плотности потока радона

Радон и радиоактивные продукты его распада вносят основной вклад в радиационный фон жилых и производственных помещений. Наличие больших концентраций радона является одной из основных причин появления заболевания раком легких. В связи с этим при проведении инженерных изысканий участков застройки проводятся радиационно-экологические исследования, составной частью которых является оценка радоноопасности территории. В России при оценке радоноопасности измеряют плотность потока радона (ППР) методом накопительных камер или методом угольных адсорберов. Существует мнение, что одной из основных причин высокой изменчивости ППР является влияние метеоусловий на результаты измерений.Radon and the radioactive products of its decay make the main contribution to the radiation background of residential and industrial premises. The presence of large concentrations of radon is one of the main causes of the occurrence of lung cancer. In this connection, during the engineering surveys of building sites, radiation-ecological studies are conducted, of which the assessment of the radon hazard of the territory is an integral part. In Russia, in assessing the radon hazard, the radon flux density (RFD) is measured by the method of the accumulation chamber or by the method of absorbent carbon. There is an opinion that one of the main reasons for the high variability of RFD is the influence of meteorological conditions on the results of measurements

Discursively ‘Undoing’ and ‘Doing Europe’ the Austrian Way

Literature on European and national identities displays a tension between occasional observations of an emerging ‘banal Europeanism’ (Cram, 2009) and a dominant strand (e.g. Guibernau, 2007; Toplak & Šumi, 2012) that questions the viability of European identifications vis-à-vis historically entrenched nationalisms, particularly in the context of the debt crisis and the resulting (re)nationalization of European politics. This chapter builds on recent work on Austrian European Union (EU) scepticism and its contestation (Karner, 2013) to examine instances – in diverse media coverage, readers’ letters to the editor of Austria’s most widely read newspaper, internet platforms, political essays and party political positions – of national identity negotiations in relation to the EU and as articulated in the context of successive European crises and the most recent elections to the European Parliament. The qualitative, thematic analysis of these wide-ranging materials developed here draws on two key concepts in critical discourse analysis, the notions of deixis (Billig, 1995) or ‘rhetorical pointing’ and of the topos or ‘structure of argument’ (e.g. Reisigl & Wodak, 2001), which are complemented by a third theoretical tool, namely the anthropological concept of ‘grammars of identity’ (Baumann & Gingrich, 2004). The resulting discussion reveals the uneasy coexistence of (critical) Europeanisms and various national reassertions in Austria’s public sphere and their respective discursive features. Further, the theoretical approaches synthesized cast light on internal diversities within political positions that are often too monolithicly classified as being ‘simply’ pro- or anti-European respectively. Instead, the analysis presented here reveals a spectrum of (at least five) competing positions
