dc.description.abstract

value:
Shells that are reinforced by ribs of variable height can reduce harmful stress concentrations for
analysis of the stress-strain state of a stiffened structure it is necessary to know not only the
greatest deflection and the maximum normal stress but also to gain a picture of the deflection
and the stress intensity across the shell. Moreover, the construction of the field deflection of
the shell from the surface structure (and not from a plane) can be more clearly reflect the
deformation process. This can be achieved by developing special software for further practical
use and that has a convenient graphical interface to provide the results of calculations in a
user-friendly form. The purpose of this paper is to describe imaging of a mathematical model
of the stress-strain state of thin-walled shell structures that are reinforced by ribs of variable
height. The results that are described in this paper have been obtained using the developed
software module, which can be used in the practice of calculating shell structures in their design, as well as in scientific research related to the problems of nonlinear deformation of thin-walled
structures. The geometric shape of the shell is defined using Lame parameters, and the shell
itself and its supporting ribs are imaged as a shell of step-variable thickness. The contact of
rib and shell occurs on the band that more accurately reflects the actual work construction.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problems of elasticity for composite materials with the holes and inclusions have a great
practical significance for mechanics, physics and other fields of science. The analytic solution of a
plane problem (plane strain or plane stress) for a bi-material plate with elliptic hole is obtained.
A hole is located entirely in the lower half-plane. The stresses and the angles of rotation are
given at infinity, on the boundary of the hole where an external load is applied. The methods
of Kolosov–Muskhelishvili complex potentials, conformal mapping and superposition were used
for solution to the problem. The affinity of a hole to an interface makes essential influence on value of stresses in a vicinity of a hole and also on value of stresses at an interface. For
engineering applications it is important to know the fields of the stresses and displacements
so as to estimate influence of a hole on strength of bonding. Special cases of these problems
follow the solutions of problems on an elliptic hole in a half-plane, about an inclined crack in a
bi-material plane and half-plane and a some others. Refs 19. Figs 2.

dc.description.abstract

value:
All muscle contraction occurs as a result of signals in the form of the nervous impulses. The
muscle fiber tension generales at first isometric and next isotonic contractions. In isometric
contraction the muscle remains the same length. In isotonic contraction the tension in the muscle
remains constant. In reality more complex contractions (isovelocity, concentric and eccentric)
occur. However the cancelable mechanism will be identical. In the sliding filament theory it is
a process of repetitive events that cause a thin filament (protein actin) to slide over a thick
filament (protein myosin) and generate tension in the muscle. Briefly the mechanism of muscle
contraction is as follows. The ATP molecules to activate the myosin head on the thick filament.
An action potential arrives across the neuromuscular synapse to the muscle membrane. This
depolarization results in an increase in cytoplasm calcium. This calcium to release calcium
out the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The calcium ions to activate the binding cites on the thin
filament. As a result of the ferment reaction take place hydrolyzes the ATP and the release of
inorganic phosphate. In the article the standard problem of the sarcomere in the cause of the
length-tension curve is constructed. The equilibrium solutions of the kinetic equations for the
two models of muscle contraction are obtained. The mitochondrial phosphorylation of ADP
is a complex process of cellular respiration. In this article only one fragment for the electron
transport chain is considered. Refs 11.

The paper deals with the application of methods of tropical optimization to the solution of
project scheduling problems. A problem is considered to find an optimal schedule for a project,
which consists of a set of activities to be performed under various constraints on the initiation
and completion times of the activities. The optimal scheduling objective takes the form of
the minimum of maximum deviation between completion times of the activities. In the paper,
the scheduling problem is first formulated in the form of an ordinary constrained optimization
problem. Next, certain basic definitions and results of tropical mathematics are presented,
required for the subsequent analysis and solution of tropical optimization problems. A new
tropical optimization problem with constraints is formulated, and its solution is derived. Finally,
the scheduling problem under study is solved by reduction to the tropical optimization problem,
which was previously investigated. To conclude, a numerical example is given. Refs 18.

dc.description.abstract

value:
There are many ecological problems associated with the prediction of the spatial distribution
of ecological parameters. The paper deals with one of these tasks. Suppose we have a set of
ecological data measured by contact way (for example, plant leaf color intensity by N-tester),
as well as an air photo of the object (for example, field). It is necessary to estimate the spatial
distribution of ecological parameters. This paper proposes an approach to the solution of such
problems with the joint use of kriging and binary regression. At first the uniform field areas
(clusters) in the photo are determined using classification method. It is assumed that each
selected area has a set of ecological data. Next, we will consider each zone separately. It is
necessary to assess the level of the indicator in the given area. First variograms analysis is
performed leading to the construction of the variogram model. Next construct a set of ecological
parameter estimates is built using the method of ordinary kriging. Then, we set a threshold
value of the ecological parameter for the zone under study. We introduced a variable that takes
the value 1, if the parameter exceeds a threshold, and 0 otherwise. Thus we get a basis for
logistic regression, where factors include a set of estimates predicted by kriging. In addition,
these factors may include the color characteristics from air photos. As a result, we can calculate
for each point the probability, if it will be close to 1, there is reason to believe that at this point
the parameter value is greater than the threshold, and if the probability is close to 0, there
is reason to assume that the parameter value is below the threshold. Furthermore, this paper
provides an example of the approach for simulated data using R. Refs 8. Figs 4. Table 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The concept of phase space for particles moving in the 4-dimensional space time is formulated.
Definition of particle distribution density as differential form is given. The degree of the
distribution density form may be different in various cases. The Liouville and the Vlasov
equations are written in tensor form with use of such tensor operations as the Lie dragging
and the Lie derivative. The presented approach is valid in both non-relativistic and relativistic
cases. It should be emphasized that this approach does not include the concepts of phase
volume and distribution function. The covariant approach allows using arbitrary systems of
coordinates for description of the particle distribution. In some cases, making use of special
coordinates grants the possibility to construct analytical solutions. Besides, such an approach
is convenient for description of degenerate distributions, for example, of the Kapchinsky–
Vladimirsky distribution, which is well-known in the theory of charged particle beams. It can
be also applied for description of particle distributions in curved space time. Refs 25.

Acanthodian assemblages from the Eifelian/Givetian boundary beds are discussed in this paper. They
were studied at three localities in the Lemovzha river basin. The section of the Narva Regional Stage,
presented there is considered as the most complete for the Eastern part of the Main Devonian field.
The acanthodian assemblage corresponding to the Nostolepis kernavensis zone was diagnosed in the
sandstone bed, 1.5 m up from the top of the marls, typical for the Narva Regional Stage. On this basis
it is suggested that this part of the section belongs to the Kernave Substage of the Narva Regional Stage.
Thus, new data on the acanthodians allow for the Narva/Aruküla boundary on this territory to be

dc.description.abstract

value: The causes and conditions of the ancient water-drag routes in which the settlement of ethnic groups occurred in the north of European Russia are discussed. The main route in the historical past over the forest zone at any time of year was by river. The great water-portage path from lake Ilmen and R. Sheksna over the Ural mountains to R. Ob was used, apparently, in the process of historical development of geographical space by different peoples. The direction of movement of ethnic groups was changed in the process of its development and use. Wading through rivers, laying between their headwaters or tributaries portages, and sometimes even building channels, explorers gradually mastered the vast territory of the North of European Russia, crossed the Ural Stone and went to the great rivers of Siberia, the Northern and Eastern seas. Modern development of recreational use of nature and interests of the tourist development of the internal regions of Russia have prompted interest in the study of ancient water and water-portage paths, which are the objects of natural and cultural heritage.

This paper deals with the possible effects of a planned water reservoir in the Pudasjärvi — Kollaja area
(northern Finland) on local reindeer husbandry. Reindeer husbandry is a culturally and locally also
economic important livelihood, which can utilize the limited biological resources of the Boreal forests
and mires. The study used GPS-collar tracking and geospatial modelling (kernel density) together with
statistical methods (Principal Component PCA niche analysis) to analyze the present situation and
evaluate expected consequences of the implementation of the planned reservoir. The results show that
the tracked reindeer in the study year (2015) did use the surroundings of the planned reservoir during
the calving period (May — June), but not the core area. The planned channels leading to and from
the reservoir however, will fragment the pasture areas and cut present migration routes. GPS-Collars
and the open-source R-environment provide ample resources for the geo-statistical analysis of animal
movement. Refs 12. Figs 6. Tables 3.

value: We assessed the concentration and motility of spermatozoa in native urinal sperm samples of the moor frog. Males (57 ind.) were caught in spring in three water pools different of hydrochemical composition. Samples of the urinal sperm were obtained after hormonal stimulation of animals by synthetic analogues of GRH (Surfagon). Sperm concentration was higher in amphibians from reservoirs with a background mineralization than that in other localities. The maximum marked value was 110 million per ml. It is worth noting that in this locality we observed the minimal number of motile spermatozoa in males. More than 95 % of spermatozoa in the samples studied showed motility only in situ. We very rarely observed progressive motility of spermatozoa. It is suggested that the fact is probably due to the magnitude of the osmotic pressure of the urine of animals, and can also be a consequence of parasitic infestation in male amphibians. Refs 2.

value: We discuss the evolutionary significance of integumentary remains discovered in the late Jurassic ornithischian dinosaurs of the taxon Ornithopoda from the Kulinda locality (Transbaikalia). The fossil finds demonstrate an uncommon type of skin appendage — the bristle scale. It represents an intermediate stage between the reptile scale and the dinosaur and bird feather. The hypothesis of the origin of the feather from the spatially changed bristle scale is proposed. Refs 10. Figs 1.

value: This article provides data on the distribution of lacertid lizards in the region of the Southwest Caspian. The study was performed between 2007 and 2014 in the territory of Jalilabad, Masalli, Yardimli, Lenkoran, Masalli and Lerik administrative districts of the Republic of Azerbaijan. On the basis of field data and the results of studies of museum collections, we noted a change in the range of lizards under the influence of anthropogenic deforestation. In particular, it is noted that there is a narrowing of the distribution of the green belly lizard, Darevskia chlorogaster and the extension of the habitats of Azerbaijani, D. raddei and striped, Lacerta strigata lizards. Because of the fact that the green belly lizard distribution in the region decreased by more than a third, it is proposed that it be included in the Red Data Book of Azerbaijan. Refs 7. Figs 1.

dc.description.abstract

value: Data on reproduction of the Karelin’s newt from the Talysh population in captivity are provided. 11 pairs from the Zarbyulyun natural boundary (Astara administrative region, Azerbaijan) were involved in the study. Oviposition was observed between 19 and 90 days after placement of animals into water. Females spawned between January 24 and June 5 at a temperature of 6.0–23.5 °C. The total duration of the oviposition period in different pairs was between 40 and 133 days. Fertility of females during the reproductive period varied from 44 to 2362 eggs, an average daily amount of eggs was 0.6–19.0. The maximum length of the laid egg in the first day after oviposition was 3.8–5.8 mm, the maximum width — 2.4–3.3 mm, diameter of the vitellus: 1.8–2.7 mm. Developmental time estimated from oviposition to hatching was 7–15 days, and larval development from hatching to start of feed- ing was 5–8 days. During the reproductive period, we obtained 14 to 345 prelarvae from each female, that was 10.3–41.2% of the laid eggs. The survival of prelarvae from hatching to start of feeding from different spawns was 61.5–100.0%, so that from each female 14 to 328 actively feeding larvae were obtained. Refs 7.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article examines polyploidy in amphibians. 53 polyploid species from 15 genera and 10 families (only anurans) are currently recognized. They can be arranged in 4 groups with different ploidy levels: I (triploids), 4 species of the toad genus Bufotes, II (tetraploids), 33 species from 14 genera and 10 families, III (octoploids), 12 species from 3 genera and 3 families, and IV (dodeсaploids), 4 species of the genus Xenopus. Only one taxon above the species level totally consisting of polyploid (4n to 12n) species is known (the subgenus Xenopus). At least 10 diploid-polyploid species complexes were revealed among amphibians. In nature, triploid individuals can originate in the hybridization zone between di- and tetraploid species. Occasionally, some triploids occur within populations of diploid species. Also polyploids (3n to 5n) are common among diploid-polyploid hybridogenetic forms, which breed clonally (Ambystoma and Pelophylax). The concept of reticulate (hybridogenous) speciation involved the hybridization between species, clonal inheritance and polyploidy is supported by current data. Polyploid amphibian species are mainly distributed in southern regions (Africa, South America, and Australia). In fact, the Oriental realm lacks polyploid amphibians. Refs 39. Figs 1. Tables 2.

dc.description.abstract

value: Breeding of amphibians in captive is one of the modern strategies for biodiversity preservation of batrochofauna. In our article we present the reproductive technologies to obtain the offspring from different amphibian threatened species, which live in zoos, nurseries and in collections of nonprofessionals. In this article we discuss two basic approaches in current reproductive technologies — the employment of gonadotropic hormones and artificial fertilization. Gonadotropic hormons could be used for stimulation of amphibian spawning to obtain already fertilized eggs, as well as for sampling of nonfertilized eggs and sperm that can be further used in artificial fertilization. We discuss the approaches to artificial fertilization both immediately after obtaining eggs and sperm, and in several days (delayed artificial fertilization) or months (adjourned artificial fertilization after cryopreservation).

dc.description.abstract

value: The article presents information on the distribution of Lacerta media in Dagestan and neighboring areas of Georgia and Azerbaijan. On the basis of original data and available literature, a map of finds of lizards has been created. Previously unknown populations in Dagestan are described. Generally, Lacerta media is widespread in the mountainous part of the republic. The range of inhabited altitudes is 840−2250 m above sea level. The area of the species range in Dagestan of about 521 kmІ (1.04% of the whole territory of the Republic and 1.86% of the area of its mountainous part) is represented by four small isolated territories. The lizard lives in the large semi-arid valleys of mountain rivers (Samur, Kurakh, Andiyskoye Koysu, Avarskoye Koysu). The population density is 7.5–10 to 50–62.2 ind./ha. The maximum density of lizards was discovered in the valley of the river Samur, the minimum — Andiyskoye Koysu and Kurakh. The increased number of lizards in some locations is due to their inaccessibility to people and, therefore, poor anthropogenic development. The geobotanical characteristics of biotopes in different parts of the regional area is presented. The species population is stable in the region. The lizard is protected in the Kosobo-Kelebskiy reserve. Refs 16. Figs 1.

dc.description.abstract

value: The variability of definitive skeletal structures of immature Pelophylax ridibundus was studied from native and introduced populations. The study of skeletons was carried out after the clearing of soft tissue by Dawson’s method. It was found that the occurrence of animals with abnormalities of the skeleton structure in the urban area of Yekaterinburg is significantly higher, than in the autochthonic populations of the Caucasian region. The high similarity in spectra overlapping of anomalies observed for populations of the Iset River and Podkumok River can be related to the similarity of living conditions and the age features of the animals in the studied samples.

dc.description.abstract

value:
We developed a Species Distribution Model based on environmental data for identification of the modern and the last glacial maximum (LGM, about 22 000 ybp) suitable habitats of the L. vulgaris and
L. v. vulgaris. The relative contributions to the model of four variables (precipitation of driest quarter, temperature annual range, mean diurnal range and annual mean temperature) were high. Based on modern ranges of subspecies of L. vulgaris, paleontological records, and our distribution models, LGM refugia of L. v. vulgaris could located in western Europe, the Balkans, the Danube plains, the north-western coast of the Black Sea, and the eastern coast of the Sea of Azov. The analysis of data about the position of glacial refugia, modern distribution of mtDNA lineages and variation of the trunk vertebrae number allowed us to propose possible routes of post-Pleistocene dispersal of L. v. vulgaris.

dc.description.abstract

value: Amphibian fauna of Tibet, including the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and Southwest China (to the north of Jinsha River) as well as adjacent territories in the western Himalayas (Spiti Valley, eastern Ladakh) in India, consist of 93 species, 28 genera and 10 families of Caudata and Anura. The portion of endemic species is equal to 27 % of the total. In general, the fauna belongs to the Oriental Realm. Exceptions are the species distributed in the periphery of western (Ngari, Spiti), northern (Qangtang) and north-eastern (Qinghai) parts of Tibet. The taxonomic and ecological diversity of amphibians is increased in the south-east, with the maximum in the Mêdog and Kham regions (Southwest China). However, many places of Tibet have never been examined by herpetologists. Therefore, it is very likely that new amphibian records and species might be found. Refs 12. Figs 1.

dc.description.abstract

value: Geographical differences and the structure of intrapopulation phenotypic variation in metamorphs’ life-history traits from 6 spatially distant populations of Rana temporaria were studied. In frogs from northern populations, heritability of larval period duration, growth rate, and size at metamorphosis was relatively low. Growth rate and size at metamorphosis in laboratory frogs were significantly higher than in those collected in nature, whereas the larval period, in turn, was lower. The revealed differences within and between populations represent a counter-gradient variation. The genetic and phenotypic correlations by pairwise comparisons these three traits were similar (both in magnitude and sign) in all populations, with the exception of one population from Kamchatka. This population was successfully introduced 10 years ago from the Moscow region to the habitat with the minimal duration of activity season. The genetic correlation between body size at metamorphosis and larval period was significantly negative. Thus the response to shortening of activity season was not only the growth rate increase but decrease in larval period, partially at the expense of metamorph size. Refs 6. Tables 2.

value: The Volga river basin is inhabited by two species of vipers: eastern steppe viper Vipera renardi and the common adder V. berus. The article provides information about the age differences of biochemical properties of viper’s snake venom. It also shows for each species that the protease activity in the snake venom of newborn vipers is significantly higher than in that of adults. All venom samples of the newborn eastern steppe vipers were colorless, with zero activity of L-amino acid oxidase. All venom samples of the newborn common adders were yellow in color, but in comparison with adults they have less active L-amino acid oxidase. Refs 11. Tables 3.

dc.description.abstract

value: Distribution and types of population systems of green frogs (Pelophylax esculentus complex) in the northwest of Volgograd region were studied. The pool frog (P. lessonae) was reliably recorded in two localities of the area studied by use of the precise nuclear DNA flow cytometry method. That allowed to shift the southern boundary of this species area by 30 km. It is zoogeographically important that new records extend the range of the species distribution from the forest-steppe to the steppe zone. Two types of green frog population systems were revealed: a) R-type, ‘pure’ populations of P. ridibundus, and b) R-L-type, a mixed population system including P. ridibundus and P. lessonae. No hybrid P. escu- lentus was found. Refs 12. Figs 1. Tables 1.

Average values of metric features and data of scalation were defined. Sexual dimorphism is observed on the number of features. These features are: body length, tail length, head length, number of ventrale, subcaudale, loreale, supracirculare. Correlation between body sizes, and between scalation and body sizes was found in males and females. Comparison of vipers from Voronezh and Lipetsk regions with vipers from other regions and the adjacent countries in the following parameters was carried out. These parameters are: body length, tail length, ventrale and subcaudale. Refs 7. Table 1.

value: The morphogenesis of the horny scutes in turtle shell was studied. It was shown that the position of the scute rudiments (epidermal placodes) is determined by somatic segmentation of the turtle embryo. It was found that scute rudiments are formed exclusively in the areas of septal depressions — in places where transversal miosepta attached to the skin. Intraspecific variability of folidosis due to the presence of free septal depressions that can “fill” extraordinary placodes. These aberrations have a high frequency and, as a rule, lead to asymmetry of folidosis. Refs 10. Figs 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The concept the crimes against humanity (CaH) is generally recognized in international law. This is
due to, among other things, the inclusion of СaH in the statutes of international criminal tribunals and
the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Rome Statute of the ICC (Art. 7) contains the definition
of it which fully reflects the customary international law. Confi rmation of general acceptance of the
criminal nature of the CaH was given by the International Law Commission on the topic “Crimes
against humanity”. Adoption of (provisionally) the Commission’s defi nition of CaH, the identical Art.
7 of the Rome Statute (RS), should be evaluated as a confi rmation of the general recognition within
the meaning of the notion CaH, as expressed in the RS, with regard to both individual offenses and the
contextual elements. General obligations and requirements for States to punish, prevent and cooperate in
the investigation and persecution of CaH describe, inter alia, the erga omnes nature of their prohibition,
according to the Draft . Based on the analysis of recent court practice, the author comes to the following
conclusions. Among the contextual elements of CaH “direction against the civilian population” should
be interpreted as actions related to the context of organized violence (not necessarily military), as well
as ill-treatment. The “civilians” as categories are not completely identical to that in the IHL. CaH are
crimes under international law, regardless of whether they have been committed in the time of armed
conflict or not. Widespread attack is associated with mass victimization. The systematic attack is an
alternative criterion. The criterion of ‘having a plan and policies of the state and the organization’, has no
independent value, but may prove an organized and systematic nature of the acts. Refs 21.

The purpose of this research is to identify the system of international copyright protection in telecasting
that has developed over the last 30 years, therefore, the objectives of the study are to analyze the
current state of international copyright protection in telecasting, the relationship between international
copyright protection for broadcast and the Internet, revealing the content of the right to communication
to the public. The author used a complex of general scientifi c and philosophical methods, including logical, comparative-legal, formal-legal, systemic-structural, problematic-theoretical and
methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization methods and descriptions, as well as comparisons.
Article 11.bis of the Berne Convention plays a key role in the international protection of copyright
in telecasting. After the consideration of the international treaties aimed to copyright protection in
telecasting should be recognized that a number of them is in relation with the Berne Convention.
However, it is not possible to speak about a well-established system of international treaties aimed
at copyright protection in telecasting because systemic connections are not always clearly seen. The
basis for international copyright protection in radio broadcasting, telecasting and electronic telecommunications
is the same, the right of communication to the public provided for in article 11bis (1) “i”
of the Berne Convention, subject to the provisions of article 8 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty. It can be
argued that a subinstitute, namely, international legal protection of intellectual property when using
telecommunications, will be created in the framework of the comprehensive institute which will be the
international legal protection of intellectual property. Refs 11.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Improvement of methods of fighting against transnational crime demands the analysis of possible
legal consequences which the state has the right to use the whilst observing obligations in the sphere
of protection of human rights. This article takes into account regularities in the development of the
legal regulation of multiple nationality (citizenship), the disclosure of its essence, the question of the
admissibility of deprivation of nationality and an extradition of a ‘polipatrid’, i.e. the person having the
nationality of two or more states. Historical, legal and teleologic interpretations of norms of the Constitution
of the Russian Federation allows the author to draw the conclusion that these norms which were accepted for restriction of opportunities of the state on a rupture of legal communication with the
citizen completely exclude possibility of the introduction of the institute of deprivation of Russian nationality.
However they do not deter the introduction to the legislation (or in the international treaty)
rules about the extradition of such a person. The conditions of such a transfer can be the consent (petition)
of the person with regard to it and determining the country of continuous residence. Refs 19.

The budgetary autonomy principle secures spending powers (spending rights) of federal and subfederal
authorities in Russia. Unfortunately, remedies to protect these rights are not provided by Russian
law. Substantial problems arise in practice when one level of government imposes certain requirements
(mandates) on another: there is often a great mismatch between the cost of mandates and the
amount of funding provided for fulfilling them. The focus of the article is just on imbalance between
mandate costs and available financial resources. In the article, the author explains that the remedy to
protect the right to spend may be deduced from the budgetary autonomy principle. Refs 12.

value:
The purpose of the article is the theoretical study and research into the methodology of applying
mechanisms of tour operator reorganization in the form of accession as one of the means of preventing
its bankruptcy. A task of the article is the legal analysis of the current legislation governing the public relations on reorganization of legal entities in the form of accession, and also the introduction
of practices for the prevention of bankruptcy of tour operators for the purpose of stabilizing their
business activity.
During the analysis comparison of the studied data from various sources was carried out. The
horizontal and comparative analysis has allowed to specify the legal contents of the studied terms.
The author, by analogy with credit institutions, has offered a mechanism of legal regulation of
reorganization by the form of accession with features characteristic for tour operators. The author has
defi ned the requirements for the financial conditions of the attaching tourist organization by putting
forth a formula for calculating an indicator of a tour operator’s financial solvency.
The intermediate conclusion is drawn that reorganization should be considered not as succession
but as a deal during which there is a transition of the rights and duties of reorganized party/parties
and the legal entity/entities. The author has drawn a conclusion that reorganization by the form of
accession is an eff ective way of prevention the tour operator’s bankruptcy, but at the same time, this
way has to be applied only in case of the unsatisfactory result of carrying out other actions for the
restoration of tour operator solvency. Refs 8.

В статье рассмотрены вопросы, связанные с планированием трудоемкости изготовления товарной продукции и организацией нормирования трудовых процессов, используемых на судостроительных предприятиях. В ходе анализа действующих методов планирования трудоемкости, используемых на предприятиях отрасли, установлено, что на данный процесс в реальных условиях особое влияние оказывает высокий уровень дополнительной трудоемкости, следствием которого являются существенные отклонения фактических трудозатрат от технически обоснованных. Причинами возникающих отклонений, по нашему мнению, являются, прежде всего, неразвитые технологии изготовления, устаревший парк станочного оборудования,
большой удельный вес брака, допущенного на стадиях промежуточных операций. Очевидно, что дополнительные трудозатраты на производство продукции должны учитываться при планировании и анализе причин
отклонений. Однако, на практике дополнительная трудоемкость, как правило, не находит своего полного отражения при планировании трудозатрат, за счет чего и возникают существенные отклонения от технически обоснованного уровня трудоемкости изготовления продукции. Для преодоления данного недостатка планирования авторами предлагается использование норматива предельно допустимых отклонений фактической трудоемкости от плановой.

value: A critical analysis of methods for selecting central events in high-energy proton–nucleus (pA) and nucleus–nucleus (AA) collisions is presented. A sample of event classes in which background fluctuations associated with the dispersion of the impact parameter of each event or the number of participant nucleons are minimal is examined. At the SPS and LHC energies, the numbers of nucleon–nucleon collisions are estimated with the aid of the Monte Carlo event generators HIJING and AMPT, which take into account energy–momentum conservation, and on the basis of a non-Glauber model involving string fusion and a modified Glauber model. The results obtained in this way demonstrate the need for revising the extensively used application of the Glauber model in normalizing multiplicity yields in experimental data on pA and AA collisions in the soft region of the spectrum.

Protein Gαo from Drosophila melanogaster has been studied. We have designed an SS-bridge
in this protein in such a way that its stability could be increased. The choice of a region in the
polypeptide chain for insertion of the cysteine bridge was based on calculations performed using
programs for the prediction of intrinsically disordered proteins. In our previous paper we proposed
that, in structured proteins, these programs predict “weakened” protein regions unable to have
a rigid structure without additional hydrophobic interactions rather than intrinsically disordered
regions. Consequently, insertion of SS-bridges in such regions will most probably lead to stabilization
of the protein. It was just this approach that was used in the presented study. It is demonstrated
with the microcalorimetry method that the insertion of the designed SS-bridge resulted in
4 K increase in the melting temperature of one domain of protein Gαo. Refs 20. Figs 3. Tables 1.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Precision of quantitative chromatographic analysis using absolute calibration is determined by the
reproducibility of absolute areas (heights) of analyte peaks. Their dispersion, mainly associated
with losses on samples during injection, lead to an insufficient accuracy of quantitation. Solving
this problem implies using an additional standard for absolute calibration. The proposed version
is based on introducing of an additional standard to calibration and target samples and on the
replacement of absolute peak areas with relative values, namely S(analyte) / S(additional standard).
It is noteworthy there are no restrictions on the chemical origin of the additional standard.
In this case, the mode proposed allows increasing precision (reduce random errors) of results, as
well as reducing the number of replicates to achieve a required accuracy. Furthermore, there is
no significant complication of the analytical procedure as a whole. Refs 10. Figs 3. Tables 3.

This article presents the results of the study of changes in the properties of porous ceramics
and concrete under the influence of “freeze—thaw cycles” produced by employment of nuclear
magnetic relaxation. The measurements of nuclear magnetic relaxation times T1 and T2 were
performed on saturated water samples with 60 cycles of freezing using spin echo methods “CPMG”
(T2) and “inversion — recovery of the equilibrium of nuclear magnetization” (T1). The results
are interpreted assuming the two-exponential dependence of the magnetization on the time in
the process of establishing equilibrium. A relation between periodic temperature effects and the
change in the number of pores and their connectivity was found. To confirm the assumption of the absence of the effect of the paramagnetic ions on the relaxation process, an experiment with
samples saturated with heavy water was carried out. Refs 9. Figs 8. Tables 2.

The solubility and the nature of the solid phase in the system Zn(HCO2)2—NH(CONH2)2—H2O
at 25℃ were investigated by isothermal method. The concentration range of crystallization of
the new incongruently soluble compound Zn(HCO2)2 · NH(CONH2)2 · H2O with molar ratio of
1 : 1 : 1 was set in system. The individuality of the new compound Zn(HCO2)2 · NH(CONH2)2 ·
· H2O was confirmed by chemical, X-ray, differential thermal analysis and IR spectroscopic analysis.
It has been shown that, in a complex compound, the coordination of a ligand takes place
through an oxygen atom in a carbonyl group. It is shown that the thermolysis of the complex
compound is a complex multistage process, which includes stages of complex dehydration and
decomposition. The final product of decomposition is zinc oxide. According to X-ray analysis a,
b, c, d and hkl unit cell parameters, the value-spacings and intensities of the diffraction patterns
of peaks were calculated. The resulting new compound Zn(HCO2)2 · NH(CONH2)2 · H2O has
orthorhombic syngony. The composition of the new complex compound set by chemical analysis,
matches the theoretically calculated composition and has a constant composition. Refs 4. Figs 3.

The paper is devoted to reactions of the interaction of gelled aqueous salt solutions (CNaCl =
=15 wt %) of HCl (12 wt %) with CaCO3, Ca1.16Mg0.84(CO3)2 carbonate core minerals on the
quasi-static conditions at a temperature of 10, 17, 25℃. Increase of HCl viscosity by xanthan
gum, scleroglucan biopolymers and amidoalkylbetaine, reactions of acid-carbonate interaction
take place in the diffusion region. The values of apparent activation energy Ea reactions between
HCl with dolomite and calcite are determined by the structural and mechanical properties of
the liquid phase. Viscosity of HCl is stable for more than 4 hours at t = 12℃, P = 10 MPa,
CNaCl = 15 wt %. Viscosity of micellar solution HCl (12 wt %) + Amidoalkylbetaine (6,5 wt %)
is equal to 109 mPa·s, at neutralization increases to more than 600 mPa·s. Initial micellar solution
has 60 wt % of the micelles with a size in the range from 1 to 10 nm, 40 wt % of micelles
have sizes 200–1000 nm. The sizes of micelles are increased to 2000–7000 nm, structural and
mechanical properties of the solution are change. Homogeneous profile of dissolution of carbonate
CaCO3, Ca1.16Mg0.84(CO3)2 after interaction with gelled HCl was imaged by electron
microscope. Refs 20. Figs 5. Tables 2.

The paper reports the correlations in the sequence “amorphous phase → metastable crystalline
solid solution → stable crystalline solid solution” in nanosized ZrO2, 5CaO—95ZrO2 and 9CaO—
91ZrO2 precursors, obtained by reversed co-precipitation technique with following fast freezing
in liquid nitrogen, freeze-drying and pan drying. It has been found that kinetic stabilization
of metastable zirconia phases in the required region of temperatures and concentrations can be
achieved via correct post-treatment of gels obtained by reversed co-precipitation technique. The
use of cryochemical treatment allows to eliminate powders agglomeration up to 1000℃. Refs 22.
