The paper presents the results of experimental studies on increasing the settling rate and reducing the solid phase in the clarified layer during settling of a solution of sulfuric acid leaching of heavy metals from galvanic sludge. For this purpose, it is proposed to use a monoethanolamine vinyl ester copolymer with sodium or potassium methacrylate as a flocculant. This flocculant works well in a wide range of pH of the solution medium, unlike the well-known and widely used polyacrylamide flocculant. The increase in the efficiency of settling is achieved due to the fact that the flocculant in question makes it possible to simultaneously flocculate positively and negatively charged particles due to the presence of various functional groups in its composition. The use of the proposed flocculant will ensure a more complete extraction of heavy metals from galvanic sludge, which reduces the risk of environmental pollution and their reuse in industry.

The process of 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl/I2 mediated oxidation of 5-hydroxylmethylfurfural in a twophase system consisting of a methylene chloride and aqueous solution containing sodium hydrogen carbonate was investigated. It was shown that the introduction into the reaction system collidine provides selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-diformylfuran (yield 99% at a selectivity of 100%).The optimal composition of the system and the optimal conditions of synthesis were determined. A mechanism of promoting the oxidation of the OH- group of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and protecting the further oxidation of 2,5-diformylfuran by collidine was proposed.

Fe-doped AlN nanorods were studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy above the Fe K- and L2,3- edges. Theoretical simulations of the x-ray absorption spectra show that Fe atoms mainly substitute Al. A minor fraction of Fe interstitials or Fe-Al-N ternary alloy can be identified as well. Bader’s AIM analysis predicts that neutral substitutional FeAl defect is in 2+ charge state, though Al in pure AlN is in 3+ charge state.  Fe L2,3 absorption spectra and photoluminescence data indicate the coexistence of Fe2+/Fe3+ in AlN:Fe nanorods so different charge states of substitutional FeAl should co-exist.

The catalytic activity of Pt/C and PtxNi/C electrocatalysts prepared by  borohydride methode was studed. It was established that the specific activity  of fresh prepared Pt3,7Ni/C  catalyst  in oxygen  electroreduction  reaction is higher in compare with Pt/C material. After treatment of Pt3,7Ni/C material in the hot acid  nickel in the surface layers of nanoparticles was dissolved and the composition of nanoparticles was changed to Pt5,6Ni. The electrochemical surface area of the Pt5,6Ni catalyst and specific activity was slightly decreased after corrosion treatment.

Alzheimer's disease is an incurable illness. It affects about half a million people in Russia, and due to the general trend towards aging of the population the number of Alzheimer's disease cases will steadily increase. Insoluble deposits of amyloid beta in the brain tissue (amyloid plaques) are the major morphological characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. It has been found that the increased concentration of copper in amyloid plaques results in copper ions bound to the protein. It is the presence of copper in the binding site triggers of the formation of amyloid plaques. Therefore, the study of the binding site in amyloid beta is of great scientific interest. The local atomic structure of the Cu(I) copper ion binding site in the amyloid beta peptide has been studied by means of XANES spectroscopy. Several model structures obtained by molecular mechanics and density functional theory (ADF code) have been tested. Theoretical analysis of X-ray absorption spectra based on the finite difference method implemented in FDMNES code was performed. An appropriate model structure of the Cu(I) copper ion binding site in amyloid beta peptide has been found.

In presented article rank criteria for the statistical analysis of two selections are considered. These criteria check statistical hypotheses. Three groups of rank criteria were considered: about equality of the central tendencies, scopes of a variation and distribution laws. Researches were conducted on data on exchange rates in two next days in nine banks. Correctness of criteria was estimated proceeding from an US dollar exchange rate established by the Central bank of Russia. To these data rank criteria of Wilcoxon, Van der Waerden, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and others were applied rubbed. Coinciding values of two selections were estimated by means of a method of an average rank. For all examples rank criteria gave the correct assumptions of equality of two selections.
