The Techniques of Influencing the Addressee in the Business Letters of Khan Ayuka on “Todo Bichig” (“Clear Letter”) and their Reflection in the Synchronized Russian Translations of... by Galina M. Yarmarkina

“…Business letters addressed by the Kalmyk Khan (before 1690, Taisha) Ayuka (1642–1724), written in todo bichig (“clear letter”), are polythematic multifunctional texts that implement, among other things, informative and influencing functions. Since the influencing function is realized primarily in motives of varying degrees of categoricality (request, order, etc.) and tactics accompanying imperative subgenres, the purpose of this work is to identify imperative subgenres and other tactics of speech influence on the addressee in business letters to todo bichig, to analyze the ways and means of expressing the identified influencing techniques, as well as their comparison with simultaneous translations of letters into Russian. …”

COMPLEX FOR MONITORING OF SEWAGE OPTICAL DENSITY CHANGES by V. A. Alekseev, V. P. Usoltcev, S. I. Yuran, D. N. Shulmin

“…For carrying out an experiment water pollution is selected by vegetable oil. The analysis of absorption spectra of water and vegetable oil showed that as a source of radiation it is expedient to use lasers with lengths of waves in the range of 0,4–0,5 μm which have the minimum absorption of radiation in the water environment and the considerable absorption in the environment of impurity, for example, the violet STLL-MM-405-200-52-A laser with wavelength of 0,405 μm and 200 mW. …”
