A method of the estimating the variability of the physical and mechanical characteristics of soils has been considered. The applying of this method in practice can be used to find out the weakened zones and tectonic structures at the territory of the atomic power stations, and also - traditionally - to estimate the influence on the behavior of the elementary natural technical system «construction - soils». The tasks of the revealing the character of the occurrence of the various possible structural non-homogeneities, which may influence on the atomic power station territory estimation, as well as a general plan allocation, have been estimated in geological parameters fields’ assessment at the one of the constructed atomic power stations territory and environs. The characteristics of the physical properties (humidity, density, zero-air dry unit weight, index fluidity) have been compared on the base of the analyses of the laboratory tests. The analysis has been done for a layer-marker which corresponds to the chalk deposits of the Turonian stage. A selective analysis of the dimensional variability of the soils’ properties has been done for the engineering-geological researches results on the territory of the atomic power-station and, in particular, reactor divisions. It has been concluded, that to make a right forecast, the additional engineering and geological investigations of the atomic power station are needed. Such researches will allow the sustainable definition, or confirmation, of the existing deformation and strength properties of the soils which are in the basement of the buildfngs for the depth, which is deeper than compressible thickness depth.

The paper deals with the general peculiarities of numerals. Cases where the sense of numeral cannot simply be explained by the idea of counting, of number, or of order are considered. Special types of texts folklore on the one band, propaganda on the other hand - are analyzed. For the latter the examples from two Soviet central official newspapers - Pravda and lzvestija of May 1986 have been chosen. These texts partially reflect common stylistic features of Soviet propagandistic discourse of the "period of stagnation"; their specificity is caused by the special situation, which obtained in the country in those days - the catastrophe in the atomic power station in Chemobyl. It is claimed that all the considered examples reflect several aspects of meaning of numerals contained in their general semantics. Thus, the development of the evaluative meaning is explained by the semantics of degree contained in the numerals. These data contribute to Frege's idea of relativity of number, but from another, purely linguistic, point of view.

The collection of residues from staple crop may contribute to meet EU regulations in renewable energy production without harming soil quality. At a global scale, chaff may have great potential to be used as a bioenergy source. However, chaff is not usually collected, and its loss can consist of up to one-fifth of the residual biomass harvestable. In the present work, a spreader able to manage the chaff (either spreading [SPR] on the soil aside to the straw swath or admixed [ADM] with the straw) at varying threshing conditions (with either 1 or 2 threshing rotors [1R and 2R, respectively] in the combine, which affects the mean length of the straw pieces). The fractions of the biomass available in field (grain, chaff, straw, and stubble) were measured, along with the performances of both grain harvesting and baling operations. Admixing chaff allowed for a slightly higher amount of straw fresh weight baled compared to SPR (+336 kg straw ha−1), but such result was not evident on a dry weight basis. At the one time, admixing chaff reduced the material capacity of the combine by 12.9%. Using 2R compared to 1R strongly reduced the length of the straw pieces, and increased the bale unit weight; however, it reduced the field efficiency of the grain harvesting operations by 11.9%. On average, the straw loss did not vary by the treatments applied and was 44% of the total residues available (computed excluding the stubble). In conclusion, admixing of chaff with straw is an option to increase the residues collected without compromising grain harvesting and straw baling efficiencies; in addition, it can reduce the energy needs for the bale logistics. According to the present data, improving the chaff collection can allow halving the loss of residues. However, further studies are needed to optimise both the chaff and the straw recoveries.
