Experimental technique is described and relative cross-sections of direct and dissociative ionization of CO2, C4H9OH, C2H5OH, CH3OH, C6H12O6 and C7H8 molecules by electron impact in the near-threshold energy range are obtained. The experiment is performed on a setup with ion mass separation based on a monopole mass spectrometer which is proved to be successful for such a sort of experiments. For the incident electron energy range from 7 to 35 eV the energy dependences of cross-section of appearance of the main molecule ions and the fragment ions formed due to its dissociation are given.

Plant species, forming important components of Arctic food chains and of interest from a monitoring perspective, were studied at 36 plots representing flood plain and terrace landscapes of the Yenisey River and Estuary from its upper delta to the gulf. (137)Cs contamination densities at the plots varied from 0.35kBq/m(2) (central delta, sandy riverside plot) to 88kBq/m(2) (the upper delta plot) indicating both global and regional sources of anthropogenic pollution.

The distribution of radioactive contamination at three island sites downstream from the Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Combine (KMCC) was studied with the objectives of mapping contamination levels, interpreting radionuclide distributions through consideration of alluvial processes and determining radionuclide inventories. Contamination was measured using in situ gamma spectrometry and landforms characterised using topographic surveying methods. Maximum (137)Cs contamination densities (700 kBq m(-2)) were found on low- and middle-level floodplains and low-lying interconnecting areas of Beriozovy Island (16 km from the KMCC).

The radioactive contamination of a riverine floodplain, heavily influenced by discharges from Krasnoyarsk-26, has been studied with respect to sedimentation processes and the geomorphology of the Upper Yenisey floodplain. The study was effected by implementation of a regime of in situ observations and measurements, sampling, and the interpretation of satellite images. The results of the study indicate that on the Balchug Bypass Floodplain, radionuclide contamination is primarily influenced by the thickness of the deposited sediments, and the area can be considered as two depositional environments.

Polycardiography, biomicroscopy and angiography of the bulbar conjunctiva were used to examine 54 children aged 1 month to 3 years in the acute period of bronchopulmonary inflammation. Diverse hemodynamic alterations were revealed at different levels of circulation, representing a successive chain of pathogenetic reactions at the basis of which there lie the adaptive mechanisms. The status of the terminal hemodynamics was analyzed in different phasic syndromes of the left ventricular systole.

The mutagenic and transforming activity of SV40 DNA fragment, corresponding to its oncogene (the gene for large T antigen) was studied in Chinese hamster cells. After expression time of 3 to 4 days, the oncogene induced mutations of resistance to 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), while the DNA encoding the SV40 late genes, as well as DNA of Chinese hamster cells, were devoid of mutagenic activity. The value of induction ranged from 10(-4) to 10(-5).

The work presents the data obtained as the result of the study of intestinal yersiniosis in the synanthropic and natural foci of the Sakhalin region. The circle of Yersinia carriers spreading this infection in the household and natural biocenoses has been established. For the first time the data on the water-type natural focus of yersiniosis with its specific spatial structure, detected on the Tyuleny Island, are published.
