Studying the historical facts of past wars and armed conflicts and natural and man-made emergencies, today in the Republic of Kazakhstan one of the most important security issues is the preparation and organization of the evacuation of the population from possible dangerous zones, taking into account the emergence of new threats to the country’s security. The paper presents an algorithm for constructing universal scales of the distribution function of opportunities by types of support and rebuilding them into subject scales using display functions. The purpose of the paper is to determine the integral indicators characterizing the possibility of accommodation of the evacuated population and the impact on resources during relocation. On the subject scales of cities and districts of the region, indicators of the possibility of relocation of a certain amount of the evacuated population by types of support and indicators characterizing the impact on the district’s resources during resettlement of a certain amount of the evacuated population are determined. It was concluded that the use of integrated indicators allows the selection of areas to accommodate the evacuated population without the use of statistical data, in conditions of incomplete and inaccurate information. The presented method does not replace traditional methods based on classical methods of territory assessment by the level of life sustenance, but also allows their reasonable combination with the experience of specialists in this field, taking into account the incompleteness, uncertainty, and inconsistency of the initial data of the study area, which does not allow the application of existing methods.

Introduction. Information support for innovation and investment activity is an independent tool of its activisation and is a process of continuous purposeful selection of relevant integrated indicators, which are necessary for the coordination of planning, control, production and collecting information on all areas of innovation and investment activities. The main methodological tool of information support for innovative and investment activity should be a monitoring method, which is a component of the controlling system and allows a manager to control the implementation of innovation and investment strategy on the basis of the indicators monitoring. Aim and tasks. The aim of this work is to provide methodological basis for organization of innovation and investment monitoring system at the enterprise as a tool of information support for activisation of its innovation and investment activity. Research results. Innovation and investment monitoring should be considered as a system of monitoring, evaluation and forecasting of key changes in innovation and investment activity of an economic entity. The methodical basis of the innovation and investment controlling are the indicators of production and financial accounting, integrated into a single database based on the modern information and communication technologies. Innovation and investment monitoring includes three components: monitoring of the external environment of the investment projects, monitoring of the general results of the strategic investment plan, monitoring of the specific actions performance (monitoring of efforts and individual results). The article considers the management support system building, which constitutes of subsystems for personal information, analysts, operational, middle and senior management level. Conclusions. Information support for innovation and investment activities is an independent direction of its activation and is a process of continuous targeted selection of relevant integrated indicators. Monitoring method is considered as the main methodological tool of information support for the activation of innovation and investment activity. In order to build information and investment monitoring system it is proposed to use the suggested conceptual approach to the formation of innovation and investment controlling, system of indicators of innovation and investment monitoring, monitoring of legislative support of innovation and investment activities, the appropriate information systems in the enterprise.

In article the direction of transition of society to sustainable development as a basis of ekologo-economic security is considered. Authors have analysed experience in the field of development and use of indicators of sustainable development which are necessary not only for assessment of effectiveness and efficiency of scientific and technical progress and development of economic systems and also for forecasting and management of process of transition to sustainable development. The systems of indicators of sustainable development developed by the Commission of the UN on sustainable development, OECD, the World Bank, the system of indicators developed for improvement of management of environmental management in Central America are considered. On the basis of the analysis of the international and Russian experience of development of indicators of sustainable development by authors their classification is offered. Authors note that indicators of sustainable development are the basis for indicators of Strategy of ecological safety of the Russian Federation until 2025 developed in 2017. A special problem at selection of indicators is extent of their integration. In article the most widespread integrated indicators of sustainable development are considered: Living Planet Index, The Ecological Footprint, Genuine Progress Indicators, Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare, Human development index, Index of Adjusted netsavings. On the basis of the analysis of the specified indexes authors draw a conclusion that the most worked in the theoretical plan, having good statistical base and possibilities of calculation is considered integrated Index of Adjusted netsavings of the World Bank.

Abstract Some of the foundations of Heyes’ radical reasoning seem to be based on a fractional selection of available evidence. Using an ethological perspective, we argue against Heyes’ rapid dismissal of innate cognitive instincts. Heyes’ use of fMRI studies of literacy to claim that culture assembles pieces of mental technology seems an example of incorrect reverse inferences and overlap theories pervasive in cognitive neuroscience.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

SummaryA routine has been developed for the processing of the 5820 plates of the survey. The plates are measured on the automatic measuring machine, GALAXY, and the measures are subsequently processed by computer, to edit and then refer them to the SAO catalogue. A start has been made on measuring the plates, but the final selection of stars to be made is still a matter for discussion.

Scanning Electron

Ultimate resolution in the scanning electron microscope is determined not only by the diameter of the incident electron beam, but by interaction of that beam with the specimen material. Generally, while minimum beam diameter diminishes with increasing voltage, due to the reduced effect of aberration component and magnetic interference, the excited volume within the sample increases with electron energy. Thus, for any given material and imaging signal, there is an optimum volt age to achieve best resolution.In the case of organic materials, which are in general of low density and electric ally non-conducting; and may in addition be susceptible to radiation and heat damage, the selection of correct operating parameters is extremely critical and is achiev ed by interative adjustment.

The importance of examining stained 1 to 2μ plastic sections by light microscopy has long been recognized, both for increased definition of many histologic features and for selection of specimen samples to be used in ultrastructural studies. Selection of specimens with specific orien ation relative to anatomical structures becomes of critical importance in ultrastructural investigations of organs such as the lung. The uantity of blocks necessary to locate special areas of interest by random sampling is large, however, and the method is lacking in precision. Several methods have been described for selection of specific areas for electron microscopy using light microscopic evaluation of paraffin, epoxy-infiltrated, or epoxy-embedded large blocks from which thick sections were cut. Selected areas from these thick sections were subsequently removed and re-embedded or attached to blank precasted blocks and resectioned for transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

The Ideal

The high detection quantum efficiency (DQE) is the main requirement for an imagerecording system used in electron microscopy of radiation-sensitive specimens. An electronic TV system of the type shown in Fig. 1 fulfills these conditions and can be used for either analog or digital image storage and processing [1], Several sources of noise may reduce the DQE, and therefore a careful selection of various elements is imperative.The noise of target and of video amplifier can be neglected when the converter stages produce sufficient target electrons per incident primary electron. The required gain depends on the type of the tube and also on the type of the signal processing chosen. For EBS tubes, for example, it exceeds 10. The ideal case, in which all impinging electrons create uniform charge peaks at the target, is not obtainable for several reasons, and these will be discussed as they relate to a system with a scintillator, fiber-optic and photo-cathode combination as the first stage.

The industrial characterization of the machinability of metals and alloys has always been a very arbitrarily defined property, subject to the selection of various reference or test materials; and the adoption of rather naive and misleading interpretations and standards. However, it seems reasonable to assume that with the present state of knowledge of materials properties, and the current theories of solid state physics, more basic guidelines for machinability characterization might be established on the basis of the residual machined microstructures. This approach was originally pursued by Draper; and our presentation here will simply reflect an exposition and extension of this research.The technique consists initially in the production of machined chips of a desired test material on a horizontal milling machine with the workpiece (specimen) mounted on a rotary table vice. A single cut of a specified depth is taken from the workpiece (0.25 in. wide) each at a new tool location.
