The article is devoted to molybdenum mineralization of the Eastern flank of Au-Mo Serhiivka deposit, located in the Middle Dnipro megablock of the Ukrainian Shield (USh). The generalized description of mineralization is performed on such important questions: discovery and exploration history, structure and composition of the host rocks, metamorphic and metasomatic alteration of rocks, structural position and localization conditions of molybdenum mineralization, ore composition, description of major ore minerals, morphology of mineralization and the most widespread views about its genesis. Molybdenum ores were discovered and named East-Serhiivka occurrence for the first time in 1974, before the discovery of gold mineralization, which occurred in 1985. Serhiivka deposit consists of two Mesoarchaean volcanic-plutonic associations (VPA) of different composition: the early mafic and the late felsic. The Eastern flank of the deposit, where the molybdenum mineralization is concentrated, is a structural knot similar to the lying letter “T”. It is formed by complex joint of the sub-latitudinal Serhiivka and sub-meridional Solone subvolcanic bodies and the East-Serhiivka massif of plagiogranitoids of the late VPA, which intrude basic rocks of early VPA. Molybdenum mineralization is localized in linearly elongated zones with a chaotic network of thin quartz, carbonate-quartz veinlets and poor (2–5 %) sulfide impregnation, including molybdenite. About 20 vein-impregnated ore zones have been recovered with up to 100–150 m thickness and 0,01 to 0,3 %, sometimes more than 1 % average molybdenum grade. The ores are subdivided into two major mineral types: 1) quartz-molybdenite; 2) quartz-sulfide-gold-molybdenite. The main components of ores molybdenite and native gold are associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, occasionally – pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, scheelite, bismuth telluride, silver and others. Typical non-metallic minerals are quartz, carbonate, feldspar, chlorite, amphibole, biotite, sericite. It is supposed hydrothermal-metamorphogenic genesis of molybdenum (and gold) ores. Molybdenite and gold are rarely detected in the same intersections, which indicates separate genesis of these minerals. According to the accepted classification molybdenum mineralization is systemized as linear stockwork. Molybdenum ores of Serhiivka deposit are mostly considered as independent, separate from gold mineralization, potentially workable mine. It is the most prospective one in the Middle Dnipro region, USh and Ukraine in general. We suggest a comprehensive approach to studying, resource and reserves evaluation of Serhiivka deposit, taking into account the potential of both molybdenum and gold mineralization, as well as concentrations of rhenium and osmium in molybdenite. Geological exploration on the base of this approach will increase investment prospects of Serhiivka gold-molybdenum deposit.

Composition of granites, genetically associated pegmatites and superimposed metasomatites distributed within Shpoliano-Tashlyk ore area (Ingul megablock) is considered. It is established, that on the basis of similarity in their petrographic and petrochemical features granitoids of the area can be related to single complex. Features of ore mineralization are defined by both composition of granitoids (Sgranites) after which rare-metal pegmatites are formed and intensity of superimposed metasomatic alterations. Main minerals-concentrators of Ta and Nb mineralization in granitic pegmatites and metasomatites are represented by minerals of three isomorphic series – columbite-tantalite (Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2O6, ilmenorutile-struverite (Ti,Nb,Ta)O2 and pyrochlore-microlite (Ca,Na)2Ta2O6(O,B,OH,F). Depending on geological setting such ore minerals as tapiolite, ixiolite, cassiterite, uraninite, nigerite, gahnite are commonly found in association with these minerals. Chemical composion of tantalo-niobates sampled from ore-bearing pegmatites and metasomatites is investigated by microprobe analysis. Most minerals of columbite-tantalite series are characterized by distinct and rhythmic internal zonality and contrasting mosaic structure which are related to considerable heterogeneities of their chemical composition. Within one aggregate mineral phases with wide range of values – from 9,80 to 71,0 % for Ta2O5 and from 10,6 to 70,1 % for Nb2O5 – are established. Among minerals ferruginous varieties which composition relates to Fe-columbite-tantalites (Nb2O5/Ta2O5 = 1–1,2; FeO/MnO = 2,5–6) prevail. Columbite-tantalites are characterised by high contents of admixture elements present (%): TiO2 – to 5,88; WO3 – to 3,70; SnO2 – to 9,20; Sc2O3 – to 5,40. Scandium ores occur as scandium-rich minerals that are mostly confined to the minerals of columbite-tantalite series found in Polohivka ore field. On the Ukrainian Shield high contents of Sc2O3 in tantalo-niobates are established for the first time. Minerals of ilmenorutile-struverite series do not quantitatively yield to minerals of columbite-tantalite series. For minerals of this series Nb2O5/Ta2O5 ratio varies in the range of 0,6-1,4. Among characteristic admixture-elements are prevailed (%): SnO2 – to 3,1, V2O5 – to 5,05; FeO – to 11,51, Cr2O3 – to 1,20. Minerals of pyrochlore-microlite series are of subordinate importance. For the first time by results of U-Pb dating of columbite-tantalites from Mostove ore manifestation (Shpoliano-Tashlyk area) the age of Ta-Nb mineralization is established to be about 1965 ± 25 million years.

The results of analysisof the patterns of the spatial relationship between hydrothermal gold ore formations and the zones of metasomatites and systems of deep faults within the Chortomlyk greenstone structure of the Middle Pridniprovie megablock in the Ukrainian Shield are given. As a result of studying the localization conditions of gold mineralization, it was established that the gold-bearing mineralization is confined to tectonically fractured zones and is localized among metasomatically altered rocks. The hydrothermal series of metasomatites in the Chortomlyk greenstone structure is represented by greisens, propylites, amphibole-carbonate metasomatites and listvenite-berezites. The mineralization of Au and Mo is associated with metasomatites of the greisen type. The study of spatial relationship between the fields of metasomatites and the gold mineralization and zones of deep faults revealed that the closest relationship is expressed with systems of faults with azimuths of 0° and 270°, 17° and 287°, 77° and 347°. The results of the studies allowed us to develop a newprospecting criterion, which, in turn allows us to state that the gold mineralization within the Chortomlyk greenstone structure is spatially confined to metasomatites related to the schistosity, fracture, millonitization, and cataclase zones with high content of sulphide mineralization. These zones are localized in nodes of intersecting faults of the first order of the system 77° and 347° with discontinuous violations of high orders of azimuths of 0° and 270°, 17°and 287°. The results of the research can be used to develop a set of predictive criteria and the allocation of promising sites of hydrothermal mineralization of gold within the Chortomlyk greenstone structure of the Middle Pridniprovie megablock in the Ukrainian shield.

The single crystals of langbeinite-related K2BiZr(PO4)3 have been obtained for the first time by spontaneous crystallization method from K-Zr-P-O-F molten system. The compound crystallizes in a space group P213 with cell parameter a = 10.30360 Å. The framework is built up from isolated Bi/ZrO6 octahedra connected together by PO4 units. For the two K+ cations two types of oxygen coordination numbers 9 and 12 are observed. The photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy studies of K2BiZr(PO4)3 are carried out under the VUV synchrotron excitations. The electronic structure of K2BiZr(PO4)3 crystal is calculated by the FLAPW method. The PL spectra reveal two main components in the UV and visible spectral regions (peaking near 3.6 and 2.7 eV respectively). It is assumed that the <st1:address><st1:street>UV PL</st1:street></st1:address> component of K2BiZr(PO4)3 originates from transitions in ZrO6 polyhedra, while the visible one is related to Bi3+ ions in oxygen coordination.

The study carried out a comparative analysis of the effect of 24 epibrassinolide (EB) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the growth and state of the main components of the glutathione system in the roots of wheat seedlings under the action of 2% NaCl, which for the first time revealed the ability of these phytohormones to similarly stabilize stress-induced decrease GSH / GSSG ratio, positively regulate the activity of glutathione reductase and glutathione-S-transferase. A comparable level of protective effect of BAP and EB on root length was revealed. The data obtained indicate that endogenous cytokinins may play the role of hormonal intermediates in the implementation of the protective.

New data is provided on gold mineralization in the southern Baikal-Patom metallogenic province, Ikibzyakskoye ore field, located in Pravo-Mamakansky deep fault zone separating Patom fold area from Baikal-Vitim volcanic-plutonic belt. For the first time, the metallogenic province was found to comprise granitoid-hosted ore vein-stringer zones with high-grade economic gold sulfide-quartz mineralization. This mineralization is localized within fault shistosity zones manifesting intense beresitization and listvenitization (in metabasite xenoliths).

This paper presents examples of hysteresis from a broad range of scientific disciplines and demonstrates a variety of forms including clockwise, counterclockwise, butterfly, pinched and kiss-and-go, respectively. These examples include mechanical systems made up of springs and dampers which have been the main components of muscle models for nearly one hundred years. For the first time, as far as the authors are aware, hysteresis is demonstrated in single fibre muscle when subjected to both lengthening and shortening periodic contractions. The hysteresis observed in the experiments is of two forms. Without any relaxation at the end of lengthening or shortening, the hysteresis loop is a convex clockwise loop, whereas a concave clockwise hysteresis loop (labeled as kiss-and-go) is formed when the muscle is relaxed at the end of lengthening and shortening. This paper also presents a mathematical model which reproduces the hysteresis curves in the same form as the experimental data.

The last generation of PWR, the European Pressurizer Reactor, is being built both in Finland at Olkiluoto and in France at Flamanville where it will be the second unit in operation in two years. The conception of the reactor has no fundamental differences compared with the last French and German generations (i.e. N4 1450 MW and KONVOI 1300 MW). In fact the EPR is a synthesis of the best knowledge from both parts of Rhin river. Nevertheless, for what concerns the primary and secondary systems, few new issues have been implemented and they have important consequences for the pre-service inspection programme. First of it, main coolant lines and main components are declared break preclusion that means another approach for the in-service inspection and the requirements for pre-service inspection. A second one, is that the 1999 ministerial order will apply for the first time on a new unit. The inspection programme has to take it into account particularly in terms of NDE performance demonstration. In terms of structural integrity, the most important areas have been reviewed with fast fracture and fatigue criteria to determine the levels of NDE qualifications. This paper describes the important steps to reach the PSI and what is being developed in terms of NDE in relation to the structural integrity. Several examples are given to illustrate how EDF prepares the PSI of the EPR.
