The piers can be placed on the spillway crest to hold the sluice gate for controlling the flow or support a service bridge. In addition, these piers to be placed on spillway body provide air entry to prevent negative pressure on the crest and eliminate the risk of cavitation. However, piers and abutments reduce the flow section area and it may cause increasing in reservoir water level. This contraction in the section varies depending on the thickness of the piers besides shape of the cross section. There are some theoretical methods in literature to calculate reduce in effective length of crest. In this study, experimental studies have been done on circular and square section bridge legs in laboratory environment. The results obtained from the studies showed that there are serious differences between experimental and theoretical calculations.

The work is devoted to methods of analysis of vibrations and stability of discrete-continuous, multi-parameter models of beams, shafts, rotors, vanes, converting to homogeneous and one-dimensional. The properties of Cauchy's influence function and the characteristic series method were used to solve the boundary problem. It has been shown that the methods are an effective tool for solving boundary problems described by ordinary fourth-and second-order differential equations with variable parameters. Particular attention should be paid to the solution of the border problem of two-parameter elastic systems with variable distribution of parameters. Universal beam-specific equations with typical support conditions including vertical support, which do not depend on beam shape and axial load type, are recorded. The shape and type of load are considered in the form of an impact function that corresponds to any change in cross-section of the support and continuous axial load, so that the functions describing the stiffness, the mass and the continuous load are complete. As a result of the solution of the boundary vibration problem of freely bent support and any change in its cross-section, loaded with any longitudinal load, arranged on the resilient substrate, strict relations between the own frequency parameters and the load parameters were derived. Using the methods, simple calculations were made, easy to use in engineering practice and conditions of use were given. Experimental studies have confirmed the high accuracy of theoretical calculations using the proposed methods and formulas.

Experimental studies of the intensity of the (2pl/2-lsl/2) and (2p3/2-lsl/2) lines of SXVI in the Alcator Takamak show large departures from the statistical ratio of 0.5 (Källne et al. 1982). Similar enhancements in the intensity ratio have been reported in solar observations (Grineva et al. 1973, Phillips et al. 1982) for the Mg XII lines and in laser produced plasmas (Boiko et al. 1977). Theoretical calculations of the intensity ratio have been carried out by Vinogradov et al. (1977), Beigman et al. (1979) and Ljepojevic et al. (1984) . We suspect that proton-impact induced transitions play a crucial role which depends sensitively on the conditions of temperature and density in the Plasma. In this abstract we will present some preliminary results of proton-impact excitation cross section calculations, for the n=2 sub levels of hydrogenic ions.

The problem in question is relevant due to discrepancy between the results of theoretical and known experimental studies of various interactions of ionizing emission photons with substances, in particular, photo effect and Compton scattering of these photons. The study aimed at carrying out specific measurements using a new method of simultaneously determining the ratio of the number of recoil electrons to the number of photoelectrons. Analysis of the results showed that there are significant discrepancies between theoretical calculations and experimental data. New values of simultaneously measured ratios of cross-sections for heavy atoms using a method invented by the author, and old measurements of these ratios for light atoms usingWilson cloud chamber, when compared with theoretical calculations, show that a significant (by one order and more) one-direction discrepancy is seen for X-ray and gamma emissions over a range of energies in question.It is shown that these discrepancies might be attributed to the fact that an atomic electron is in a free state for a while. Compton scattering occurs with a free electron; photo effect involves only bound electrons. Therefore, Compton scattering cross section is proportional to a period of time, during which electron was in a free state, whereas photo effect cross section is proportional to a time period, during which electron was in a bound state. The article materials might be helpful to perform both fundamental, and applied studies on interaction of light quanta with substance including modelling the phenomena under examination.

AbstractThe photoabsorption spectra of the carbon ions have been obtained by using two laser-produced plasmas. The photoionization cross-section of the CV has been absolutely measured and the value at threshold, σ=(4.7±0.5) × 10−19cm2, as well as its behaviour at higher energies agrees quite well with the theoretical calculations.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.

Transition metal-catalyzed selective C–H bond functionalization enabled by transient ligands has become an extremely attractive topic due to its economical and greener characteristics. However, catalytic pathways of this reaction process on unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> carbons of reactants have not been well studied yet. Herein, detailed mechanistic investigation on Pd-catalyzed C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond activation with amino acids as transient ligands has been systematically conducted. The theoretical calculations showed that higher angle distortion of C(sp2)-H bond over C(sp3)-H bond and stronger nucleophilicity of benzylic anion over its aromatic counterpart, leading to higher reactivity of corresponding C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds; the angle strain of the directing rings of key intermediates determines the site-selectivity of aliphatic ketone substrates; replacement of glycine with β-alanine as the transient ligand can decrease the angle tension of the directing rings. Synthetic experiments have confirmed that β-alanine is indeed a more efficient transient ligand for arylation of β-secondary carbons of linear aliphatic ketones than its glycine counterpart.<br><br>

Reservoir landslide is a type of commonly seen geological hazards in reservoir area and could potentially cause significant risk to the routine operation of reservoir and hydropower station. It has been accepted that reservoir landslides are mainly induced by periodic variations of reservoir water level during the impoundment and drawdown process. In this study, to better understand the deformation characters and controlling factors of the reservoir landslide, a multiparameter-based monitoring program was conducted on a reservoir landslide—the Hongyanzi landslide located in Pubugou reservoir area in the southwest of China. The results indicated that significant deformation occurred to the landslide during the drawdown period; otherwise, the landslide remained stable. The major reason of reservoir landslide deformation is the generation of seepage water pressure caused by the rapidly growing water level difference inside and outside of the slope. The influences of precipitation and earthquake on the slope deformation of the Hongyanzi landslide were insignificant.
