Based onthematerials ofthememoirs ofthe participants ofthe events andthe businesscorrespondence ofthe embassywiththe British government, the activities of the British ambassador to Spain, Samuel Hoare, who held the post from 1940 to 1944, are considered. It is shown that the effectiveness of his actions grew not only in simultaneously with the success of the allies in the war, but also due to the strengthening of economic cooperation between the two countries. The author comes to the conclusion that the success of most of the major diplomatic treaties between England and Spain during this period depended precisely on the supply of the necessary resources.
The analysis of the physical and biological features of the new plasma-optical technology of biocidal treatment of objects and its potential applications for solving the problems of improving the biological safety of agroindustrial enterprises is given. The technology is based on the treatment of chemically and microbiologically polluted environmental objects — water, air, surfaces — with high-intensity pulsed optical radiation of a continuous spectrum. The priority directions of development of plasma-optical equipment for the agroindustrial complex and food production are considered. A new concept of a complex automated system for ensuring biological safety of agricultural enterprises in real time is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
