Olistostrome horizons in the Oligocene deposits of the south-western part in the Bytlya-Svydovets subcover of the Krosno nappe or in so-called Pre-Duklya folds are described in a number of works. There is not enough information about olistostrome in the northern part of the Krosno nappe in its Turka subcover and in the outer part of the Duklya-Chornohora nappe (Stavniany subcover). In the mentioned tectonic units olistostrome is localized in the Lower Verkhovynian deposits of Oligocene above the marker bed of stripped limestones in the region of the Smozhe populated area of the Skole district of the Lviv Region, Torun and Lopushna of the Mizhgirria region of the Transcarpathian Region as well as near Lyuta Village of the same region. Matrix is mainly composed by the grey carbonate flysh of the Krosno lithotype. Olistostrome horizons are presented by strongly crumped chaotic non-sorted formations. In its composition also are present more ancient rocks than matrix, olistolites of the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Oligocene age as well as redeposited rocks formed as a result of washout of more ancient deposits. Some geologists consider, according, to M. G. Leonov hypothesis (1978), that olistolites came off the front part of the Duklya nappe during its overthrusting to the north-east. Materials collected during geological surveys and later observations deny such a mechanism. This is proved by the following: a) overthrust of the Duklya nappe couldn’t cause the formation of the Krosno olistostrome. Because olistostrome is also fixed in Oligocene of the Stavniany subcover of the given nappe of the Lyuta Village and the Mlaky ravine in the section of the Lyuta River. b) Olistostrome is traced at the strathigraphic level at a relatively narrow time interval. It means that sources of removal of olistolites were functioning not so long that contradicts the thesis on the permanent overthrusting movement. c) If olistostrome was caused by the given overthrust, so it would (and olistolites) be observed continuously, but not discretely. d) In sandstones of-the Lower Verkhovynian subsuite the presence of nummulites was fixed, and in argillites of Oligocene the microfauna of Cretaceous-Eocene age – this in the evidence of the washout event. e) Over olistostrome are developed normal bedded high sections of-the Lower Verkhovynian subsuite, thus the overthrusting of the scales in Oligocene was absent. f) In the composition of the Bytlya olistostrome are present rocks that are absent in the composition of Duklya-Chornohora nappe. In the light of data mentioned above, the alternative thesis about cordillera as a source of removal of olistolites is rather grounded and non-alternative. It is possible that as sources of removal was a number of islands that were uplifted higher that sea level at the beginning of the Upper Verkhovynian time. In places the tongues of olistostromes into the Turka sub cove olistolites in the Smozhe and Torun Village possibly due to the presence of long alluvial fans. It is probable that cordillera occurred at the boundary between the Krosno and Dusynian basins of sedimentation that differed by the conditions of sediment forming that was manifested by the presence of two lithotypes of Oligocene of Krosno and Dusynian.

Scientific-research center «Arktika» far-eastern branch of the Russian academy of sciences, 685000, Magadan, Russia Young male residents ofMagadan region and Chukotsky Autonomous District aged 17-21, all are representatives of Russia’s northeast ethnic peoples were examined in comparison with Caucasoid subjects born in the north in the p>-2 generation to study the blood lipid and glucose values as well as the dietary structure. In order to ascertain the subjects ’ lipid and carbohydrate basic values, the CardioChek PA biochemical express-analyzer (USA) was used during the study of the capillary blood samples taken from the examinees on empty stomach, 10-12 hours after the last meal. Besides, the program set of “ASPON-nutrition” was used to analyze the subjects ’ daily diets for assessing their dietary structures and nutrition facts. All the examined subjects demonstrated the similar changes in lipid-carbohydrate profile resulted in low fat metabolism and high glucose close to the upper limit of physiological norm. Reliable ethnic and region-related peculiarities in the studied metabolic parameters were found. Of note, that Aboriginal subjects were the highest in the blood glucose. They showed higher values ofLPHD and lower values ofLPLD compared to those of Caucasoid subjects. Significant nutrition irrationalities such as imbalance in macronutrients and energetic deficiency were found. The observed diets contain excess carbohydrates and insufficient protein and fat saturation at lowered daily energetic value for the given age cohort.

Abstract. Relative abundance variations of planktonic Foraminifera have been studied for the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene time interval of 7.0 to 3.5 Ma from three sites in the North East Atlantic; DSDP607 (41°N), DSDP609 (50°N) and DSDP611 (53°N), Particular attention has been given to the percentage of benthic Foraminifera of total (benthic + planktonic) Foraminifera as an index of dissolution by aggressive bottom waters, and to the percentage of dextral Neogloboquadrina pachyderma of total (dextral + sinistral) N. pachyderma as an index of “Sub-Polar” or warmer waters.Strong dissolution, probably associated with the northward penetration of aggressive Antarctic Bottom Water, is observed at two of the sites up to and during the initiation of the Messinian “Salinity Crisis” in the adjoining Mediterranean Sea at about 5.8 Ma. All three sites exhibit strong cyclic fluctuations of the percentage of dextral N. pachyderma during the Messinian “Salinity Crisis” interval, from approximately 5.8 Ma to 4.8 Ma. These are interpreted as indicating wide-ranging oscillations of a water mass boundary, analogous to the present-day Polar Front, in the North Atlantic during the “Salinity Crisis”. Following the re-filling of the Mediterranean with normal marine waters at about 4.8 Ma, the dextral form of N. pachyderma, which is more characteristic of warmer waters than the sinistral form, becomes the dominant form and shows less quantitative variation at all three sites throughout the Early Pliocene.

Abstract The contribution is dedicated to hydraulic analysis of the flood protection of county town Bardejov in the north-east part of Slovakia where after numerous floods on the Topľa River the flood protection has been constructed just partially in the central residential area of the city (phase I.) Next phases II. and III., which append to phase I. upstream and downstream are currently in a process of evaluation, so the flood protection of the city is far from being complete. The submitted article deals with hydraulic assessment of realized flood protection measures and their impact on proposal of phases II. and III. Authors have solved the given problem using mathematical modelling of open channel flow for steady and unsteady conditions of flood discharge at really measured flood wave in the year 2010 which was very close to the value of Q100 water. At the same time, they have proposed flood protection measures on the Topľa River in localities which are not considered and not solved by present realized flood protection. Proposed flood protection measures downstream and upstream of the realized flood protection were proven by mathematical modelling in HEC-RAS software program and they should get under control even the historical flood which appeared in Bardejov City in 2010.

Here the Cretaceous and Paleogene flysh of the Duklya-Chornohora, Burkut, Magura, Marmarosh and Pieniny covers was studied that in the north-western sector of the Ukrainian Carpathians near the border of Poland and Slovakia (Lemkivsky segment) distinguish themselves by very inclined thrusts. Spatially the given tectonic units are within the limits of so called hydrothermal field unfavourable as a whole, as to the presence of hydrocarbons on a large scale here. But there were distinguished small plots with prevalence of hydrocarbons in the gas composition. Prospects of the potential for gas presence in the region should be connected with the areas that spatially gravitate towards Transcarpathian deep. Studied area consists of several tectonic units of the first order. These are covers located farther south-west of Krosno cover: Duklya-Chornohora, Burkut (Porkulets), Magura, Marmarosh and Pieniny covers, in the south-west the studied terrane is limited by the Transcarpathian deep, and farther west – by the state border of Ukraine and Slovakia, in the south-east – by the Rika Rriver, in the north-east – by the zone of joining of Duklya-Chornohora and Krosno covers. Prospects of the potential for oil end gas presence in the given area, as in the Folded Carpathians on the whole, should be determined by the complex of all accompanying parameters: structural, collecting and covering, hadrochemical and geochemical. For the given area of the Carpathians the geochemical factor is the most important.

Via geological-geophysical surveys carried out on the north-east border of Yevlakh-Aghjabedy downfold in the second half of the last century, the oil-gas bearing content of deeply-immersed Mesozoic horizons of Upper Cretaceous, as well as shallow layers of Paleogene and Miocene has been defined. Oil-gas bearing Productive Series have been discovered within Muradkhanly, Zardab, Shykhbaghy and Jafarli structures, which belong to Zardab-Muradkhanly-Jafarli belt. Oil-gas reservoirs are lithologically associated mainly with fractured superfusive and carbonate rocks of Upper Cretaceous, as well as sedimentary-volcanogenic rocks of Middle Eocene and partially terrigenic collectors of Maikop-Chokrak, which are layer-arch type of trap. Some researchers came to the conclusion that within favorable geological circumstances on the north-east border of the downfold, collectors of Mesozoic sediments may contain industrial oil and gas deposits as well. To that end, recently the major capacity of exploration drilling and geoexploration was focused within Yevlakh-Aghjabedy downfold, where Mesozoic structures are widespread alongside with Paleogen-Miocene sediments. Deep structural-tectonic framework and oil-gas bearing content both on south-west and north-east slopes of the downfold was specified via the results of conducted works. It was defined that by hydrocarbon saturation, north-west and south-east slopes sharply differ from each other both in the view of structural-tectonic and oil-gas bearing capacity, probably associated with various cycles of folding of Cenozoic and Mesozoic ages.

Ras a1 Khaimah is the most northerly of the seven states comprising the United Arab Emirates and its Ruler, H. H. Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi, is keenly interested in the history of the state and its people. Survey carried out there jointly with Dr D. B. Doe in 1968 had focused attention on the site of JuIfar which lies just north of the present town of Ras a1 Khaimah (de Cardi, 1971, 230-2). Julfar was in existence in Abbasid times and its importance as an entrep6t during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-the Portuguese Period-is reflected by the quantity and variety of imported wares to be found among the ruins of the city. Most of the sites discovered during the survey dated from that period but a group of cairns near Ghalilah and some long gabled graves in the Shimal area to the north-east of the date-groves behind Ras a1 Khaimah (map, FIG. I) clearly represented a more distant past.
