One of the most important systems for ensuring the required air quality in Orthodox churches is the ventilation system. Mechanical ventilation is getting contaminated during operation. The air, passing through the air ducts, contains dust particles, including pathogenic bacteria. To prevent bacteria from multiplying in the ventilation system, bactericidal filters must be used. Halls of Orthodox churches belong to public buildings with a large crowd of people with a long stay. Such premises require a bactericidal efficiency of at least 90%. For the ventilation systems of the church of St. Theophan the Recluse, the authors proposed and implemented a device for bactericidal air treatment using ultraviolet radiation. The bactericidal effectiveness of this device was 92%, which is higher than required. The authors recommend using the proposed device for public buildings.

One of the most important elements of the bridge, from which the service life of this structure directly depends, is the supporting part. It provides the movement and rotation of span structures, as well as the transfer of all loads from the forces acting on them to the supports. The task of the designer is to select such support parts, that could be allowed maximum reducing of the forces, acting at the ends of the beams and having a minimum resistance to their free movement. It is necessary in each case to select the support part, which will most closely meet the requirements. To solve this problem, the author structured and tabulated the kinds of support parts. And also an analysis of the main characteristics of some of them.
