SPATIO-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF THE MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE LARGE GOPHER IN THE SOUTHERN URALS ^{[№ 8 ' 2017]}
The effects of climate and anthropogenic influences on the biosphere are shown in different scales. These factors largely determine the population status of plants and animals, their density, reproductive cycle and distribution of the species; the structure and biodiversity of ecosystems. One of the adaptations to environmental conditions is change of morphological parameters of living organisms, i. e. the variation of the significant parameters to improve adaptation of an organism to new environmental conditions. The object of studying the dynamics of morphological parameters was a large gopher (Spermophilus major Pallas, 1779. Long-term studies of the variation of two parameters — mass and body length showed that the trends of variation of characteristics by year were different. Correlation between average body weight and coefficient of variation of this indicator by years was not significant; between body length and coefficient of variation was noted a significant negative correlation. Analysis of trends in morphological parameters in space, i.e. comparison of mean values of indicators and their coefficients of variation with similar overall aggregate data on the morphometry of the big gopher in the region, showed that in most districts the average body mass is higher than the regional average. Probably the tendency to decrease the average body mass of individuals of the large ground squirrel in forest-steppe areas of the region can be explained by an insufficient number of potential habitats; the body length is a more stable option.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS OF PREPARATION OF DURUM WHEAT FOR PASTA MILLING ^{[№ 1 ' 2015]}
For the purpose of rational use of grain durum wheat, studies have been conducted qualitative characteristics, as well as the kinetics of water absorption of durum wheat grains of different fractions of size. On the basis of researches the optimum process flow diagram for preparation of grain pasta flour.

INFLUENCE OF FINE FRACTION OF WHEAT GRAIN TO EFFECTIVENESS OF BREAK PROCESS ^{[№ 9 ' 2014]}
For the purpose of rational use of grain durum wheat was conducted research technological characteristics of different fractions of wheat grain size, as well as the effect of fines on the effectiveness of ragged process. Based on the studies presented recommendations for the selection of fines to increase grain output white flour.

RESEARCH OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF DURUM WHEAT MILLING PRODUCTS ^{[№ 6 ' 2011]}
In view of rational use of durum wheat grain, we studied the rheological properties of grain milling products with different sizes. The possibility of combining of large and small products in order to increase the yield of flour, without reducing the quality of pasta products was revealed.
