Below given are the results of experimental studies of the process of damping of self-oscillation of the beam which is a long plate with rectangular cross-section. The studies were aimed at demonstration of the process (accompanying the damping) of energy redistribution between the modes and harmonics of self-oscillations under the conditions when this energy is essentially bounded. The artificial damper was used which was a small-size slightly pressed plate. The same local damping effect is created by cracks in the parts when there are oscillations, plastic deformation at the apex of crack. Specially developed transducers operating in split mode as part of multifunction acoustic impedance fault detector were used as measuring equipment. The receiver-transducer was attached at the end of the beam, the generator-transducer was attached at the centre of the beam so as to induce oscillation train consisting of five dominant flexural modes of self-oscillations of the beam. Limitation of energy inducing self-oscillations was determined by the rigidity of spring-plates of generator-transducer. The rigidity of the plates was chosen so as oscillation energy was sufficient only for extraction of the given train amplitudes as being dominant, whereas the rest modes of self-oscillations were either not induced at all or were induced with small amplitude. It is demonstrated that redistribution process, when inducing energy is limited, is highly sensitive to attenuants, which allows to use it as a crack indicator during integral nondestructive testing of parts and entire assemblies. For this reason it is concluded that the process of energy redistribution between different harmonics and modes of self-oscillations under the influence of damping factors is advanced for computer-aided nondestructive testing.

In this paper, we look for non-uniform Rayleigh beams isospectral to a given uniform Rayleigh beam. Isospectral systems are those that have the same spectral properties, i.e. the same free vibration natural frequencies for a given boundary condition. A transformation is proposed that converts the fourth-order governing differential equation of non-uniform Rayleigh beam into a uniform Rayleigh beam. If the coefficients of the transformed equation match with those of the uniform beam equation, then the non-uniform beam is isospectral to the given uniform beam. The boundary-condition configuration should be preserved under this transformation. We present the constraints under which the boundary configurations will remain unchanged. Frequency equivalence of the non-uniform beams and the uniform beam is confirmed by the finite-element method. For the considered cases, examples of beams having a rectangular cross section are presented to show the application of our analysis.

An experimental investigation of water flow in a T-shaped channel with rectangular cross section (20 × 20 mm inlet ID and 20 × 40 mm outlet ID) has been conducted for a Reynolds number Re range of 56 to 422, based on inlet diameter. Dynamical conditions and the T-channel geometry of the current study are applicable to the microscale. This study supports a large body of numerical work, and resolution and the interrogation region are extended beyond previous experimental studies. Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) and particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) are used to characterize flow behaviors over the broad range of Re where realistic T-channels operate. Scalar structures previously unresolved in the literature are presented. Special attention is paid to the unsteady flow regimes that develop at moderate Re, which significantly impact mixing but are not yet well characterized or understood. An unsteady symmetric topology, which develops at higher Re and negatively impacts mixing, is presented, and mechanisms behind the wide range of mixing qualities predicted for this regime are explained. An optimal Re operating range is identified based on multiple experimental trials.

The purpose of the given work will consist in an experimental studies of the diffusion combustion features of the hydrogen round microjet mixtures with the metane, helium and nitrogen. It is found, that the mechanism and characteristics of a microjet and a flame evolution at diffusion combustion of the hydrogen mixture with the metane, helium or nitrogen are connected with the «bottleneck» flame area formation, as well as in a situation of a pure hydrogen microjet diffusion combustion. It is revealed, that process of diffusion combustion of a hydrogen / metane mixture in a round microjet is accompanied by stage-by-stage stages of a turbulent flame detachment at preservation of combustion in the «bottleneck» flame area, and, at last extinction of microjet combustion that correlates with combustion process of a similar microjet of pure hydrogen. It is found, that all above-listed stages of a hydrogen / metane mixture combustion are realized in a range considerably smaller speeds of a microjet (200÷500 m/sec), than in a similar situation of a pure hydrogen microjet combustion (600÷800 m/sec). It is shown, that at diffusion combustion of a mixture of hydrogen with metane or helium or nitrogen in a round microjet for stabilization of combustion with growth of a microjet speed it is necessary to increase a portion of hydrogen (or to reduce a portion of an impurity) in a mixture of gases.

UV spectroscopic method was developed for the estimation of Dolutegravir in bulk and Formulation.The UV spectrum of Dolutegravir in methanol and water mixture showed λ max at 254nm. Beer’s law is valid in the concentration range of 10-50µg/ml. This method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD and LOQ. The method has demonstrated excellent linearity over the range of 10-50µg/ml with regression equation y = 0.030x + 0.008 and regression correlation coefficient r2= 0.998. Moreover, the method was found to be highly sensitive with LOD (2.056μg/ml) and LOQ (6.230μg/ml). Depending on results the given method can be successfully applied for assay of Dolutegravir in formulation.


The process of calming waves by injecting air bubbles beneath the surface has been known to civil engineers for nearly 50 years. It has been little used for its results have been erratic, its method of working was unknown and its effect could not be predicted. The investigation described in this paper has shown that the surface currents set up by air injection, and the distribution of the water velocity within the currents, can be matched by currents set up by water jets, and that the two currents so matched have almost the same wave-damping effect whether they are set up by water jets or by air. It is concluded that the bubbles as such have at most a very small effect on the wave motion. It is found that waves of small amplitude are stopped in the way predicted theoretically, but that as the amplitude increases the surface current necessary to stop waves of a given length increases.

Abstract Epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies have suggested that excessive exposure to estrogens during fetal/neonatal life can lead to reproductive disorders and sperm abnormalities in adulthood. However, it is unknown whether endogenous concentrations of estrogens affect the establishment of the male fetal germ cell lineage. We addressed this question by studying the testicular development of mice in which the estrogen receptor (ER) β or the ERα gene was inactivated. The homozygous inactivation of ERβ (ERβ−/−) increased the number of gonocytes by 50% in 2- and 6-d-old neonates. The numbers of Sertoli and Leydig cells and the level of testicular testosterone production were unaffected, suggesting that estrogens act directly on the gonocytes. The increase in the number of gonocytes did not occur during fetal life but instead occurred just after birth, when gonocytes resumed mitosis and apoptosis. It seems to result from a decrease in the apoptosis rate evaluated by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling method and cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemical detection. Last, mice heterozygous for the ERβ gene inactivation behaved similarly to their ERβ−/− littermates in terms of the number of gonocytes, apoptosis, and mitosis, suggesting that these cells are highly sensitive to the binding of estrogens to ERβ. ERα inactivation had no effect on the number of neonatal gonocytes and Sertoli cells. In conclusion, this study provides the first demonstration that endogenous estrogens can physiologically inhibit germ cell growth in the male. This finding may have important implications concerning the potential action of environmental estrogens.

Aerated concrete structures are widely used in construction as load-bearing or filler structures. The article describes the probabilistic approach to estimation of anchor (dowel) pull-out capacity. The article also presents the experimental studies of control samples from aerated concrete and diagrams “stress – strain”. The maximum permissible load values are obtained for the given batch of aerated concrete blocks based on the requirements of ensuring the specified reliability (probability of no-failure). Permissible load on the anchor (dowel) will also depend on the number of anchors in case of set of anchors as a conditional sequential mechanical system in terms of reliability theory. The design equations is given the reliability analysis of anchor (dowel) on pull-out force with limited statistical data and small number of control samples for using probabilistic and statistical approaches.

The article presents a new design of a vibrating twin-shaft centrifugal module designed for grinding and classification of rock mass. In this design, in addition to grinding, the operation of classification or screening of the crushed mass was added, which does not allow its regrinding and increases the productivity of the device. This is achieved by installing in the bottom of the chamber grinding mesh with cells in accordance with the required class size. At the same time, the classification process is intensified by the presence of vibration from vibration exciters fixed on the camera body and the installation of the camera on elastic supports. The reciprocating horizontal vibrations of the chamber with a given amplitude and frequency contribute to the segregation of the crushed rock mass in the bed by size, which positively affects the efficiency of classification and grinding. The presence of vibration helps to unload the oversize product from the grinding chamber. Also, the article considers experimental studies performed on a vibrational two-shaft centrifugal module to determine the dependence of the performance of a given design on five variable factors: rotor shaft revolutions (n, rpm), size of the loaded rock mass (Δ, mm), rock mass strength (σ, kg/mm2), camera vibration frequency (ω, rpm) and its vibration amplitude (A, mm). Studies have shown the efficiency and increased productivity of the new design in relation to a centrifugal disintegrator without a classification grid and vibration. The results of the work allow us to recommend the design under study for the manufacture of an experimental sample according to the given initial requirements, and the established dependences (Q = f (n, Δ, σ, ω, A) make it possible to develop a mathematical model of the grinding process in this setup to calculate the required parameters.

Experimental studies of the flow of liquid metal in CCM mold are long, complex and labor consuming process. Therefore, mathematical modeling by numerical methods is increasingly used for this purpose. The article considers a new technology for liquid metal supply into a mold. The authors present original patented design of the device, consisting of direct-flow and rotating bottom nozzles. The main results of investigations of the melt flow in the mold are considered. The objects of research were hydrodynamic and heat flows of liquid metal at new process of steel casting into a CCM mold of rectangular section. The result is spatial mathematical model describing flows and temperatures of liquid metal in the mold. To simulate the processes occurring during metal flow in the mold, special software was designed. Theoretical calculations are based on fundamental equations of hydrodynamics, equations of mathematical physics (equation of heat conduction taking into account mass transfer) and proven numerical method. The area under study was divided into elements of finite dimensions; for each element, resulting system of equations was written in difference form. The results are fields of velocities and temperatures of metal flow in the mold volume. A calculation program was compiled based on developed numerical schemes and algorithms. An example of calculation of steel casting into a mold of rectangular cross-section, and flow diagrams of liquid metal along various sections of the mold are given. Vector flows of liquid metal in different sections of the mold are clearly presented at different angles of rotation of the deep-bottom nozzle. The authors have identified the areas of intense turbulence. Metal flows of the described technological process were compared with traditional metal supply through a fixed bottom nozzle.
