Abstract  A preliminary study has been performed in order to substantiate the strategy of adaptive self-regulation with external feedback for correction of adolescent deviant behavior. The strategy combines voluntary and involuntary components of correction of the functional state by employing two methods: EEG-controlled switching of an appetent signal (music) (the EEG-controlled biofeedback (EEG-BFB) method) and “tuning” of the patient’s own EEG transformed into an acoustic signal (the EEG bioacoustic correction (EEG-BAC) method). These methods have been demonstrated to be highly effective in normalizing the brain bioelectric activity, psychological state, and behavior of adolescents. It has been demonstrated that it is reasonable to use the EEG-BAC method, which does not impose strict requirements on intelligence, memory, and attention levels, at early stages of treatment, followed by EEG-BFB treatment, which allows the patient to efficiently form a stable skill of transition to a comfortable state.

Abstract  Ways to improve low-temperature properties of summer diesel fuels by introduction of depressant additives and partial dewaxing of fuels in an electrostatic field are examined. Synthesis of amidopolyformaldehyde depressant additives for diesel fuels is described, and optimal synthesis conditions are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract  It was established that the use of respiratory sinus arrhythmia as an objective physiological criterion of intersystem integration is effective and justifiable for the study, optimization, diagnosis, and correction of human speech breathing, speech, and speech behavior.
