The Method of Manufacturing Nonmetallic Test-Blocks on Different Sensitivity Classes

Nowadays in our modern world there is a vital question of quality control of details made from nonmetallic materials due to their wide spreading. Nondestructive penetrant testing is effective, and in some cases it is the only possible method of accidents prevention at high-risk sites. A brief review of check sample necessary for quality evaluation of penetrant materials is considered. There was offered a way of making agents for quality of penetrant materials testing according to different liquid penetrant testing sensibility classes

Modeling of liquid flow in surface discontinuities

Polymer composite and metallic materials have found wide application in various industries such as aviation, rocket, car manufacturing, ship manufacturing, etc. Many design elements need permanent quality control. Ensuring high quality and reliability of products is impossible without effective nondestructive testing methods. One of these methods is penetrant testing using penetrating substances based on liquid penetration into defect cavities. In this paper, we propose a model of liquid flow to determine the rates of filling the defect cavities with various materials and, based on this, to choose optimal control modes

Digital receivers for low-frequency radio telescopes UTR-2, URAN, GURT

This paper describes digital radio astronomical receivers used for decameter and meter wavelength observations. This paper describes digital radio astronomical receivers used for decameter and meter wavelength observations. Since 1998, digital receivers performing on-the-fly dynamic spectrum calculations or waveform data recording without data loss have been used at the UTR-2 radio telescope, the URAN VLBI system, and the GURT new generation radio telescope. Here we detail these receivers developed for operation in the strong interference environment that prevails in the decameter wavelength range. Data collected with these receivers allowed us to discover numerous radio astronomical objects and phenomena at low frequencies, a summary of which is also presented.Comment: 24 pages, 15 figure

Opportunities for bioenergy in the Baltic Sea Region

Security of energy supply, promotion of the bio-economy, nutrient recycling, and innovation are prioritized policy areas in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUBSR). The Baltic Sea Region (BSR) has a great bioenergy potential worth exploring in this context. This paper explores the state-of-art of bioenergy systems and synergies with eco-systems services in the BSR region in the context of developing the region’s bio-economy. In this brief assessment, we consider 8 countries (i.e. Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, and Belarus) in the region. While the production and use of modern bioenergy can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, promote energy security, diversify energy resources, and contribute to a successful circular economy and rural development, it is important to find a balance between the exploration of resources and the management of eco-systems services. In addition, both climate change vulnerability and bioenergy production may affect the environment and the capacity of the BSR to deliver ecosystem services (ESS). We recommend integrated strategies for optimal use of bioresources in the region. Bioeconomy can be realized by innovative approaches, establishing cross-cutting institutional and policy linkages for increased prosperity and green growth in the Baltic Sea Region

Interaction between matrix alloy and reinforcing granules during the process of casted composite material synthesis

The studies conducted allowed us to estimate the diffusion of matrix alloy components into the granules of the reinforcing phase, which led to a decrease in the strength properties of the composite due to an increase in the thickness of the transition zone and its subsequent destruction

Análisis del impacto de la literatura en la formación de la imagen del funcionario público de la Federación de Rusia en los medios de comunicación

The main features of the XXI century Russian society have been formed due to social and psychological changes, which led to a global transformation of the state system. Modern world faces the problem of developing a new policy of state power that will be based on the principles of consensus (reconciliation of all contentious and conflicting issues in the process of developing a solution that is reached through discussion and consultation), society and open partnership. The reason for this global upheaval is that the pace of change in the relationship between the state (government) and society itself depends on the open-ended policy that is now key. The image of a civil servant is similar to a construction that can be replaced, strengthened, re-mounted, modified, etc., and most importantly, that it needs serious work. The perception of the image exists and changes not only in the consciousness of people, but also in the unconscious sphere (emotional). In order to create a positive image of a civil servant, they need to be governed. To manage it, one needs to know the basic idea of what and in what sequence should occur, and at what stage intermediate results should appear. According to the authors, the solution to the problem of studying the acting factors that make the positive image of civil servants of modern Russia, the identification of the most effective ways, forms and principles of its positive transformation, as well as the analysis of the constituents of the employee of state structures are relevant. The most important in the work of representatives of public authorities is the nature of their public relations. If public servants do not evoke citizens' feelings of trust, justice and other positive psychological and social reactions, then feedback (from the population to state bodies) will be ineffective. Since the operation of the system of state power is the result of the functioning of the whole state as a whole, it is important that the work of state bodies used the maximum opportunities with the least cost. This scheme ensures effective management and positive results. But such a situation will not be achievable if the level of public trust in government is low.Las principales características de la sociedad rusa del siglo XXI se han formado debido a cambios sociales y psicológicos, que condujeron a una transformación global del sistema estatal. El mundo moderno enfrenta el problema de desarrollar una nueva política de poder estatal que se basará en los principios de consenso (conciliación de todos los temas conflictivos y conflictivos en el proceso de desarrollar una solución que se alcance a través de la discusión y consulta), la sociedad y la asociación abierta. La razón de esta agitación global es que el ritmo de cambio en la relación entre el estado (gobierno) y la sociedad misma depende de la política abierta que ahora es clave.La imagen de un funcionario público es similar a una construcción que se puede reemplazar, fortalecer, volver a montar, modificar, etc., y lo más importante, que necesita un trabajo serio. La percepción de la imagen existe y cambia no solo en la conciencia de las personas, sino también en la esfera inconsciente (emocional). Para crear una imagen positiva de un funcionario público, deben ser gobernados. Para gestionarlo, es necesarioconocer la idea básica de qué y en qué secuencia debe ocurrir, y en qué etapa deben aparecer los resultados intermedios. Según los autores, la solución al problema de estudiar los factores de actuación que hacen la imagen positiva de los funcionarios de la Rusia moderna, la identificación de las formas, formas y principios más efectivos de su transformación positiva, así como el análisis de los componentes del empleado de las estructuras estatales son relevantes. Lo más importante en el trabajo de los representantes de las autoridades públicas es la naturaleza de sus relaciones públicas. Si los servidores públicos no evocan los sentimientos de confianza, justicia y otras reacciones psicológicas y sociales positivas de los ciudadanos, la retroalimentación (de la población a los organismos estatales) será ineficaz. Dado que la operación del sistema de poder estatal es el resultado del funcionamiento de todo el estado en su conjunto, es importante que el trabajo de los organismos estatales aproveche las máximasoportunidades con el menor costo. Este esquema garantiza una gestión eficaz y resultados positivos. Pero tal situación no será posible si el nivel de confianza pública en el gobierno es bajo
