Power properties of piston internal combustion engines are depending on the cylinder's loading with air. In general, at the conclusion of the process of gas exchange in the cylinders of the engine there are a mixture consisting from air, fuel, recycling gases and residual gases. All properties of the engine are a function of the composition of this mixture.

The foreign languages’ lessons in a non-specialized language university for students are often associated with a dull process of professional as well as special literature’s reading. The language is not perceived by them as an additional source of education in the cultural and professional terms, but using it in a country’s lingo studying aspect at the foreign language lessons, the students get a wish to learn as much as they can about the culture of the country’s learning language, about the people living in it, its character and their national peculiarities.

The article describes a social transformation of the Russian society and the situation evolved when the search of cultural identity of the students’ language is increasing. The learning of foreign language borrowings is due to the processes taking place inside the mother tongue, which are displayed not by the reality as it is, but by the social character of daily speaking practices, particularly by the language environment. The borrowings became the object of researches by the sociologists, who are to study how the borrowings enter, settle down in the Russian language and enrich it.

The article is devoted to the study of contemporary forms of understanding in communication. The author seeks to examine communication in the modern world as multilateral and multilevel process, in which the language of communication, matatiki and language objects, as well as additional means of communication (empathy, assertiveness, body language, context, communication, etc.) are used as amplifiers of understanding, inseparably accompanying the process of communication. For analysis of the origins of the modern theory of understanding in communications, the author refers to the founder of philosophical hermeneutics H.-G. Gadamer [1], the researcher of the ontological nature of the language of M. Heidegger [2], theorist of language, L. Wittgenstein [3], research in the field of transactional analysis [4]. The author presents an understanding not only included in the cultural-historical tradition [1] and a certain linguistic context [4], but also depends on modern forms of communication. The author comes to the conclusion that modern communication involves new ways and means of expression of sense and happens in the context of communication with the outside world, and in the process of self-awareness or in-game communication when creating new virtual worlds.

The Article is devoted to the unique thinker of the era of the French Enlightenment, who at the time of the triumph of rationalism was opposed to civilization and for nature, feeling and intellect, Rousseau.
