Synthesis of heteroatom end-functionalized polyethene with lanthanide and transition-metal catalysts

Incorporation of heteroatom functionalities in the catalytic formation of polyolefin materials can be accomplished either by copolymerization of the olefin with an olefinic substrate that has a heteroatom-containing substituent, or by using a heteroatom-containing chain-transfer agent. In the first case the functionalities introduced are located in side-groups on the polyolefin backbone, in the second case the functionality will cap the polymer on one end of the chain. The latter strategy has been applied recently using chain-transfer agents with reactive X-H bonds (X = Si, B) in conjunction with group 3 and group 4 metal catalysts. We have sought to apply the capacity of lanthanide metallocenes to perform ethene polymerization as well as C-H activation to this chemistry, using heteroatom-containing hydrocarbons with activated C-H bonds as chain-transfer agents, and to compare this with analogous cationic group 4 metallocenes

Синтез полиномиальных регуляторов с учетом возмущений

Статья посвящена исследованию компенсационного метода синтеза полиномиальных регуляторов с учетом изменений в управляемости и наблюдаемости замкнутой системы. Проанализирован алгоритм получения регуляторов по методу желаемой передаточной функции, позволяющий получить близкие показатели качества как по управлению, так и по возмущению

Информационная поддержка процесса оценки компетенций студентов университета

На сегодняшний день одним из наиболее актуальных способов построения новой образовательной парадигмы является компетентностный подход. В статье приведены рекомендации по использованию разнообразных форм занятий для различных видов деятельности. Каждой форме можно поставить в соответствие компетенции, что позволит корректировать образовательную траекторию студента. Рассмотрена структура информационной системы, позволяющей облегчить процесс оценивания и выработки рекомендаций

Деньги как предмет исследования философии культуры

Деньги традиционно относят к ведомству экономики. В статье ставится задача выяснить, могут ли деньги быть предметом исследования философии культуры. Для того чтобы ответить на этот вопрос в противовес экономическому показывается наличие культурно-философского подхода, смещающего фокус восприятия денег от универсальных функций к их уникальной роли в каждой культуре. В результате мы видим, что деньги являются предметом исследования философии культуры

Alleviating Parenting Stress in Parents with Intellectual Disabilities:A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting

Background: Adapted parenting support may alleviate the high levels of parenting stress experienced by many parents with intellectual disabilities. Methods: Parents with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning were randomized to experimental (n = 43) and control (n = 42) conditions. Parents in both groups received care-as-usual. The experimental group also received an adapted version of video-feedback intervention for positive parenting and learning difficulties (VIPP-LD). Measures of parenting stress were obtained pre-test, post-test and 3-month follow-up. Results: Randomization to the experimental group led to a steeper decline in parenting stress related to the child compared to the control group (d = 0.46). No statistically significant effect on stress related to the parent's own functioning or situation was found. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest the feasibility of reducing parenting stress in parents with mild intellectual disability (MID) through parenting support, to the possible benefit of their children.</p
