This chapter proposes that search engines apply a verticalizing pressure on the WWW many-to-many information distribution model, forcing this to revert to a distributive model similar to that of the mass media. The argument for this starts with a critical descriptive examination of the history of search mechanisms for the Internet. Parallel to this there is a discussion of the increasing ties between the search engines and the advertising market. The chapter then presents questions concerning the concentration of traffic on the Web around a small number of search engines which are in the hands of an equally limited number of enterprises. This reality is accentuated by the confidence that users place in the search engine and by the ongoing acquisition of collaborative systems and smaller players by the large search engines. This scenario demonstrates the verticalizing pressure that the search engines apply to the majority of WWW users, that bring it back toward the mass distribution mode.

The mass-distribution model proposed by Kuzmin and Veltmann (1973) is revisited. It is subdivided into two models which have a common case. Only one of them is subject of the present study. The study is focused on the relation between the density ratio (the central one to that corresponding to the core radius) and the total-mass fraction within the core radius. The latter one is an increasing function of the former one, but it cannot exceed one quarter, which takes place when the density ratio tends to infinity. Therefore, the model is extended by representing the density as a sum of two components. The extension results into possibility of having a correspondence between the infinite density ratio and 100% total-mass fraction. The number of parameters in the extended model exceeds that of the original model. Due to this, in the extended model, the correspondence between the density ratio and total-mass fraction is no longer one-to-one; several values of the total-mass fraction can correspond to the same value for the density ratio. In this way, the extended model could explain the contingency of having two, or more, groups of real stellar systems (subsystems) in the diagram total-mass fraction versus density ratio.

The article presents the results of studies of the bactericidal activity of new composite preparations. Synergistic effect of the components of the drugs is established. The formulation of a new disinfectant Nika-Vetprofi with the maximum synergistic effect in respect of microbial cells of E. coli and S. aureus has been determined. The synergistic effect of the components of Nick-Vetprofi in samples 1 and 2 was established. The maximum synergistic effect against E. coli 1257 and S. aureus 209P. is achieved in combination of components of Nick-Vetprofi-2. Tests of the disinfectant effect of Nika-Vetprofi-2 in laboratory and production conditions have shown that the drug has a wide spectrum of anti-microbial activity and can be used as a disinfectant for veterinary use.
