In this world around us, there are two things that do not belong to any one country: air and ocean water. ... People are concerned about the air and the water used by everyone, and they are also concerned about the future of the Earth. ... Many ships sail in the ocean water - fishing ships, some ships carring people, some carring oil. ... Many birds and fish die because of the pollute water. Many fish are dying in the sea, others are getting contaminated. ...

Close binary systems of the RS CVn and Algol type are characterized by a highly variable radio emission, from typical flux densities of a few mJy during low-activity (quiescent) periods, up to 1 Jy during strong flares. The origin of this radio emission is attributed to the gyrosynchrotron mechanism. Several observations of these stars have shown an evolution of the radio spectrum during both the rising and decay phases of flares. ...

The problem of turbulence is one of the most important and challenging problem of the modern science. ... An experimental investigation of turbulent flows with special experimental setup and equipment, which allow to obtain reliable data with good precision, is very difficult and expensive process. ... The natural assumption for the theory of turbulence is that there exist some (unknown yet) general and universal properties for wide range of different turbulent flows. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...
