A STUDY OF OIL DISPLACEMENT FROM THE POROUS MEDIUM USING THE GRAPHENE SUSPENSION

Discovered that the water suspension of graphite planar nanostructures at the interface oil-water, has the displacing capacity. In the experiment using the cell of hele-Show that the process of displacement at the interface, do not form viscous fingers, as a result of the instability at the interface oil – water

Legal Regime of Requests for Labor Remuneration in Case of Bankruptcy

The article investigates the structural elements of international legal regimes of requests for labor remuneration in the event of the employer's insolvency - the «priority of requirements» model, the «warranty of requirements» model and the «mixed» model. It examines the problematic issues of the interpretation and application of the norms of the current Russian legislation arising in the course of filing and satisfying the requests for labor remuneration in a bankruptcy case. It stares that the Russian bankruptcy legislation establishes several legal regimes in regard to requests for labor remuneration. The privileged character is envisaged for requests for the current payments regimes (priority) and for the registered payment regimes (second priority). The restricted character is established for the requests due to payments in end-of-priority (after-second priority) order. The article gives a critical assessment of the law enforcement practice whereby it expands the circle of persons subject to the privileged legal regime. It draws attention to inadmissibility of referring the requests for insurance payments to the second (privileged) turn of creditors. It recognizes as ineffective the order, existing in the law enforcement practice, of collecting the interests charged according to the labor legislation, in case of bankruptcy.</jats:p

Ways to satisfy the claims of construction participants in the bankruptcy case of developers in Russia

Abstract Bankruptcy legislation in Russia is constantly changing. The main purpose of such changes is to create favorable conditions for creditors. During the bankruptcy case of developers, the rights of construction participants were violated for a long time. The Russian bankruptcy law currently contains special rules governing the bankruptcy of developers. The law provides for various guarantees of the rights of construction participants. The experience of applying bankruptcy legislation to developers abroad demonstrates its peculiarities. The task of the state is to ensure a high level of protection of the rights of citizens whose funds are attracted for the construction of housing. The bankruptcy law provides for special ways to satisfy creditors’ claims in a developer’s bankruptcy case. Such methods include the creation of a housing construction cooperative, the settlement of claims by transferring residential premises, and the attraction of a new developer to complete construction. Much attention is given to the transfer of a developer’ right on the object under construction and a plot of land to the housing and construction cooperative or another specialized consumer cooperative as a means to satisfy the requirements of construction participants. The author reveals the conditions for such satisfaction, specifics of making the corresponding decision.</jats:p

Thermoelectric model of the Earth's magnetic field

A variant of the thermoelectric model of the Earth's dipole magnetic field is considered. It is based on geothermoelectric currents present in the planet's core. The currents cyclically change their direction, which leads over time either to warming on the Earth, if their movement is directed towards the Earth's crust, or to cooling, when moving towards the inner core. With each change in the direction of movement of the thermal currents, the poles of the Earth's magnetic field are inverted simultaneously. The inversion process is instantaneous (on the scale of planetary time) and is not the result of a gradual reversal on the 180° Earth's magnetic axis. At the moment of inversions of thermal currents in the core, the total geomagnetic field decreases to the level of 4.6∙10-6 T, which is constantly supported by thermal currents of semi-conducting rocks of the lower mantle. The considered version of the thermoelectric model of the Earth's magnetic field may be promising for studying the magnetic fields of planets in the Solar system.</jats:p
