The realization of existing projects of on-orbit servicing and the development of new ones is a steady trend in the development of space technology. In many cases, on-orbit service clients are objects that exhibit an undesired rotary motion, which renders their servicing difficult or impossible. The problem of on-orbit service object motion control determines the topicality of studies aimed not only at the refinement of methods and algorithms of controlling both the translational and the rotary motion of an object, but also at the development and refinement of methods of onboard determination of the object – service spacecraft relative motion parameters. This paper overviews the state of the art of the problem of object motion parameter determination in on-orbit servicing tasks and existing methods of object motion control and angular motion damping and specifies lines of further investigations into the angular motion control of non-cooperative service objects. Based on the analysis of publications on the subject, the applicability of onboard means for object motion parameter determination is characterized. The analysis of the applicability of methods of remote determination of the parameters of an unknown non-cooperative object from a service spacecraft shows that they are at the research stage. The input data for the verification of methods proposed in the literature were simulated or taken from ground experiments or previous missions. Contact and contactless methods of angular motion control of non-cooperative on-orbit service objects are considered. From the state of the art of investigations into the contactless motion control of on-orbit service objects it may be concluded that the most advanced contactless method of motion control of an on-orbit service object is a technology based on the use of an ion beam directed to the object from an electrojet engine onboard a service spacecraft. Lines of further investigations into non-cooperative object motion control are proposed.

Several masonry panels are studied by means of destructive tests such as compressive, diagonal compression and shear-compression tests. The experimental research allows to characterize the mechanical properties of masonry walls in order to assess the masonry performance. Moreover, a brief recall of the most important experimental progress is presented in order to understand the state of the art of the research in the field of destructive tests.

Resumen:El artículo, visibiliza el potencial simbólico de algunas formas compositivas Kogi, que se abren paso en el panorama de la literatura indígena colombiana. Para ello, se recopilaron textos teóricos, críticose investigativos; así como antologías de literatura kogi, y se hizo el análisis a partir de la mitocrítica. Las fases fundamentales del proyecto fueron: indagación acerca del estado del arte respecto a la literatura kogi; recopilación de producción literaria kogi y determinación de formas compositivas y funciones; y selección y análisis de una muestra representativa de la producción literaria kogi, en la que se tuvieron en cuenta algunos motivos arquetípicos recurrentes. Palabras clave: literatura indígena colombiana, kogis, literatura kogi, cultura kogi, mitocrítica, motivos arquetípicos.Resumo:O artigo faz visível o potencial simbólico de algumas formas compositivas Kogi que ganham espaço no panorama da literatura indígena colombiana.

This chapter introduces recent results aiming to compare full-scale data and simulations of tornadoes and to establish a framework through which simulations of tornado-like vortices (both physical and numerical) can be compared to full-scale data. Physical and sometimes numerical simulations of non-synoptic winds such as tornadoes and downbursts are performed at a reduced (model) scale (Λl) compared to reality (prototype). That approach implies that there is also a timescale (Λt) and a velocity scale (Λv) involved, and the three of them are interlinked. The proper determination of these scales is critical in the process of translating results from model simulations to reality. This chapter discusses the state of the art of determining these scales for two types of non-synoptic winds—tornadoes and downbursts.

SUMMARYAs researchers have pushed the limits of what can be accomplished by a single robot operating in a known or unknown environment, a greater emphasis has been placed on the utilization of mobile multi-robotic systems to accomplish various objectives. In transitioning from a robot-centric approach to a system-centric approach, considerations must be made for the computational and communicative aspects of the group as a whole, in addition to electromechanical considerations of individual robots. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of mobile multi-robotic system research, with an emphasis on the confluence of mapping, localization and motion control of robotic system. Methods that compose these three topics are presented, including areas of overlap, such as integrated exploration and simultaneous localization and mapping. From these methods, an analysis of benefits, challenges and tradeoffs associated with multi-robotic system design and use are presented. Finally, specific applications of multi-robotic systems are also addressed in various contexts.

The importance of isothiazole and of compounds containing the isothiazole nucleus has been growing over the last few years. Isothiazolinones are used in cosmetic and as chemical additives for occupational and industrial usage due to their bacteriostatic and fungiostatic activity. Despite their effectiveness as biocides, isothiazolinones are strong sensitizers, producing skin irritations and allergies and may pose ecotoxicological hazards. Therefore, their use is restricted by EU legislation. Considering the relevance and importance of isothiazolinone biocides, the present review describes the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding their synthesis, antibacterial components, toxicity (including structure–activity–toxicity relationships) outlines, and (photo)chemical stability. Due to the increasing prevalence and impact of isothiazolinones in consumer’s health, analytical methods for the identification and determination of this type of biocides were also discussed.
