The Black Monk and The Nun’s Tear: Church-Related Wine Names in the Post-Soviet Times

The article was submitted on 07.07.2014.The author considers the manifestation of religious ideas of the post-Soviet Russian public referring to the brands and names of widely available common wines. Unlike their Western counterparts, the religious names of Russian wines are not connected with monastic wine making, church vineyards, etc. Their appearance is mainly due to the general shift from the negative perception of religion characteristic of the Socialist ideological system to a positive view as well as Russian adoption of certain non-Russian pragmonyms and nomination patterns.Статья рассматривает проявление религиозных представлений постсоветского российского общества в торговых марках и брендах на примере названий ординарных общедоступных вин. В отличие от западноевропейской традиции, русские «религиозные» названия вин не связаны с идеей монастырского виноделия, церковных виноградников и т. п. Их появление объясняется общим изменением негативного в советской идеологической системе отношения к религии на позитивное, а также освоением отдельных иноязычных прагмонимов и номинативных моделей

Conditions for the Dye Sensitization of Photoprocesses in Semiconductors

The necessary requirements for the photoeffect sensitization are the existence of electron states in the semiconductors capable of accepting energy from the dye and subsurface band bending. Methods for control of the sensitization efficiency are discussed. Keywords: Internal Photo Effect, Semiconductors, Dye Sensitization

Signatures of the slow solar wind streams from active regions in the inner corona

Some of local sources of the slow solar wind can be associated with spectroscopically detected plasma outflows at edges of active regions accompanied with specific signatures in the inner corona. The EUV telescopes (e.g. SPIRIT/CORONAS-F, TESIS/CORONAS-Photon and SWAP/PROBA2) sometimes observed extended ray-like structures seen at the limb above active regions in 1MK iron emission lines and described as "coronal rays". To verify the relationship between coronal rays and plasma outflows, we analyze an isolated active region (AR) adjacent to small coronal hole (CH) observed by different EUV instruments in the end of July - beginning of August 2009. On August 1 EIS revealed in the AR two compact outflows with the Doppler velocities V =10-30 km/s accompanied with fan loops diverging from their regions. At the limb the ARCH interface region produced coronal rays observed by EUVI/STEREO-A on July 31 as well as by TESIS on August 7. The rays were co-aligned with open magnetic field lines expanded to the streamer stalks. Using the DEM analysis, it was found that the fan loops diverged from the outflow regions had the dominant temperature of ~1 MK, which is similar to that of the outgoing plasma streams. Parameters of the solar wind measured by STEREO-B, ACE, WIND, STEREO-A were conformed with identification of the ARCH as a source region at the Wang-Sheeley-Arge map of derived coronal holes for CR 2086. The results of the study support the suggestion that coronal rays can represent signatures of outflows from ARs propagating in the inner corona along open field lines into the heliosphere.Comment: Accepted for publication in Solar Physics; 31 Pages; 13 Figure

The Policy of the Russian State on the Governance of Nomadic Peoples in the First Half of the XIX Century (the Case Study of Kalmyks)

The article deals with the policy of the Russian state on the governance of Kalmyks in the first half of the XIXth century. After the departure of the most part of the Kalmyk people to the territory of Qing China, the status of its statehood was undergoing great changes. The system of the governance of Kalmyk people was clearly worked out and put into operation during the reforms of the governors of the Russian Empire, Catherine II, Paul I and Alexander I. The administrative guardianship was established over the Kalmyk people with a number of legislative acts for long time, till 1917
