Features of influence of opportunity cost on the cash policy of the Russian companies are considered. The author analyzes relationship of cause and effect of escalating of cash. The author researched features of a choice the Russian companies of sources of financing. The author shows that availability of opportunity costs forces the companies to be reoriented on internal sources of financing. Opportunity costs are the indicator for a choice of optimum financing. The model (specification) presented in work is tested for determination of its adequacy, from the point of view of quality of forecasting. It is estimated three kinds of specifications: pooled regression, regression with a random effect and regression with the fixed effect. The purpose of work attempt to open cash puzzle of company disclosing of a puzzle. That is, to reduce opportunity costs for preserving of cash as the preventive motive, allowing to struggle with financial restrictions. Novelty of the presented work consists that the companies can rationally manage cash holdings, using negative shocks (signals) in the capital market, to expect them and without supposing the situations connected with financial restrictions.

The structural complexity of a door causes difficulties in the description of its behavior from an acoustical point of view. In many cases, even a small change can cause a big difference in its sound-isolating properties. To determine the acoustical quality of a door, it is important to perform laboratory measurements of the door structure and door frame, the gaps including. A mathematical analysis based on experimental measurements of the sound reduction index of several door constructions was used to determine the acoustical door categories. The equations for calculating the sound reduction index, which were introduced in this paper, should help in the design of a suitable door from an acoustical point of view.

Determination of the certain major and trace elements was carried out in drinking water supply scheme in three districts of Meghalaya. This work aims to identify trends resulting in the deterioration of drinking water which is also a potential source of environmental contaminants. About 50 samples, each from one district, were collected both from the source and various tanks and tap. The elements determined are Li, Na, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Ag, Au, Pb, Cd, Se, Ca, K, and Mg. The pH is slightly lower than neutral pH of 7 while the turbidity is very high even after treatment. The concentrations of Ca and Mg are found to be deficient. The elements Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Mo, and Pb decrease after treatment while Mn, Cu, and Cd increase slightly after treatment. Se concentration is found to be much higher than expected. The results were compared with the standard recommendation values for the quality of drinking water. This study provides a general indication of where water-quality constituent concentrations met or exceeded water-quality standards and the data presented in this report will be useful from public health point of view.

Kneading dough has a great influence on the processing of subsequent technological operations of the bakery production and products quality. The rheological properties change by mechanical action on the dough during kneading, and deep transformations of protein substances and changes in the properties of starch occurred. These changes cause accelerating the process of dough maturation and improvement of the bread quality in terms of specific volume, porosity structure and compressibility of the crumb. At the end of the dough kneading, a homogeneous elastoplastic capillary-porous mass containing flour, water, yeast and other components is formed and physical, colloidal, microbiological and enzymatic processes actively proceed in it. At the kneading stage, rheological properties of the dough are formed, on which the intensity of the fermentation process, the behavior of the dough during cutting depends. In the scientific and technical literature, there is absent the common point of view on the question about ways to intensify the process of dough kneading. The following parameters are mainly considered in various combinations: the geometric shape of the kneading machine capacity, the shape of the kneading blades and their location, the speed of the working body, the frequency of mechanical action on the kneading mass, the control of the test temperature. Methods of the complex intensification of the kneading process, based on the relationship of the main kneading machine parameters and changes in the rheological properties of the dough, are practically not considered in the scientific literature. One of the ways to intensify the process of dough kneading is the using of reinforced machining treatment. In the application of reinforced mechanical treatment the hydration capacity of the gluten increases, as a result, the water absorption by dough is increased by 1.0 to 1.5 %, which improves its rheological properties, quality and yield of bread.

Penelitian ini difokuskan pada tiga hal yaitu: (1) menemukan ciri-ciri musikal lagu gedé; (2)menunjukkan perbedaan relasi musikal antara lagu gedé dengan pertunjukan wayang golék dankiliningan; dan (3) menunjukkan kompleksitas hubungan garap di dalam lagu gedé, yaitu hubunganantara nyanyian sindén dengan nyanyian alok, rebaban, gambangan, dan kendangan. Penelitianini menggunakan pendekatan etnomusikologis didasarkan pada cara kerja ala Wim van Zanten,yaitu memadukan aspek musikologis dan antropologis. Musik ditempatkan sebagai objek utamasekaligus dasar relasinya dengan persoalan-persoalan kebudayaan dan masyarakat. Hasil penelitianini menunjukkan bahwa lagu gedé menunjukkan peran, proses, interaksi dan kompleksitas garapnyakhusus. Pada sisi pencipta lagu, lagu gedé diakui sebagai pengguritan yang sulit dan langka. Padasisi penyaji, membawakan lagu gedé diperlukan persyaratan seperti: modal vokal bagus, menguasaiperbendaharaan lagu dan laras, terampil menafsir garap lagu dan memberi sénggol-sénggol unik. Denganketiadaan lagu gedé, mutu garap kesenimanan sinden dan pangrawit dan jalinan interaksi kemampuanmusikal di antara pemeran garap vokal, rébab, gambang, dan kéndang mengalami keterbatasan.The Musical Characters of Lagu Gedé Kepesindenan on Sundanese Karawitan. The researchis mainly focused on the three things: (1) to find the musical characteristics of lagu gedé; (2) to show thedifference on the musical relationship of lagu gedé song with a puppet show and kiliningan; (3) to show thecomplexity of the working relationship on lagu gedé, such as the relationship between the singing of Sindenand the hymns of alok, rebaban, gambangan, and kendangan. The ethno musicological approach of lagugedé is based on the work method of Wim van Zanten which is a musical approach with an anthropologicalperspective. The two aspects – musicological and anthropological – are respectively combined. Music isintensively placed as the main object in order to discover the basis of its relation with cultural and socialissues. The results of the research on lagu gedé show the role, process, interaction, and complexity of the musicalinterpretation which are characterized by a slow tempo. From the composer’s point of view or the musicalcomposition, lagu gedé is recognized as a difficult and rare form of pengguritan. From the performers’ pointof view (the sinden or female vocalist and the pangrawit or musician), a number of special skills are requiredin performing lagu gedé. These may include a good voice, a good command of the musical repertoire, tuning,and musical composition, and the ability to interpret the music and provide the unique sénggol-sénggol aswell. By the absence of lagu gedé, there will be more limited quality of interpretation and artistry of thesinden and pangrawit, and the musical skills and interaction among the musicians (such as the vocalist,rébab, gambang, and kéndang players).

In linguistic terms, a quantifier is an item that appears with a noun to specify the number or amount of referents indicated by the noun. In English, various kinds of quantification are lexically differentiated—universal quantification (all), distributive quantification (each), and universal-distributive (every). In Greek, however, quantification is conveyed syntactically using primarily one lexical item, namely πᾶς. In this article, we examine the syntactic patterns of πᾶς as a quantifier from a linguistic point of view with attention to the determination of the noun (articular versus anarthrous), the number of the noun (singular versus plural) and the phrasal word order. We also examine the phenomenon of ‘floating’ quantification in which the quantifier moves to a new position in the noun phrase. Finally, we compare the patterns found in New Testament Greek with those of the quantifier כל in the Hebrew Bible in order to determine the extent and type of Semitic interference with respect to quantification in New Testament Greek grammar.Contribution: The syntactic patterns of πᾶς as a quantifier are identified and the semantic import of each pattern is described. The relationship of πᾶς to the quantifier כל in the Hebrew Bible shows evidence of Semitic interference in New Testament Greek grammar.

Now the increasing popularity is received by food semi-finished products from the bulk materials. With increase in volume of their production it is expedient to mix powdery materials in the mixers of continuous action. For the set working hours of the mixers of continuous action the movement of material in the device is considered to be casual stationary processes between which there is relationship of cause and effect. Key indicators for her assessment is the correlation coefficient, population mean and dispersion. Communication between entering and going out of the device signals is established by means of the equations of material balance, describing expenses of streams of bulk stochastic stationary functions X (t). Further, finding probabilistic characteristics of the entering and leaving signals, it is possible to judge "quality" of operation of the mixer or to select the required topology of streams in the hardware environment by comparison of the relations of their dispersions or mean square deviations. In this work the scheme of the movement of material streams in the mixer developed by us realizing a method of "consecutive dilution" is considered. By means of the system of the equations of the material balance displaying process of the movement of material in the mixers of continuous action of vibration type influence of recirculation on the smoothing properties of the device is considered. Values of size of the smoothing ability of S from recirculation coefficient ? and quantities of rounds of n are given. It is revealed that increase in the smoothing ability leads to increase of quantity of rounds, and respectively and dimensions of the mixers of continuous action of vibration type, therefore, it is expedient to use the mixer with quantity of rounds equal 6 and coefficient of recirculation equal 0.7 as at the same time the smoothing ability equal is enough 1753 for receiving qualitative ready mix at a ratio of components 1:50. By means of the correlation analysis it is possible to predict uniformity of a material stream at the device exit at the known values of the time spent in him of material, coefficients of recirculation and dispersion of an entrance signal.

No matter for clothes fabric or industry fabric, the water permeability is an important performance indicator. In order to explore relationship of the water permeability of woven filtering fabrics with the fabric structure parameters, we design sixteen fabric. According to the national standards of determination of water permeability of woven filtering fabric, we test the dank ratio of the design fabric. In this paper we analysis the water permeability and structure parameter of woven filtering fabric with test the quality of water on some time through woven fabrics. We calculated the dank ratio from the water permeable quality and other parameters. The results indicate that, the effect of fabric texture on the dank ratio of woven fabrics is that the dank ratio of the plain weave is the smallest and the satin weave is the biggest. In addition, the relationship between overall covering factor and water permeability showed that the water permeability decreases along with the overall covering factor increasing. A linear regression equation between dank ratio and overall covering factor is get from the test results. In order to get big dank ratio, we should produce fabric with satin weave and lower overall covering factor.
