Repetition and variation of some baseline motives and images are a hallmark of A. Pushkin’s poetic system. A comprehensive system of A. Pushkin’s writing arises due to complex and contradictory relationships of specific elements. A principle of ‘resourceful contradiction’ forms the basis for the system. The square is one of the key space images which not only unites a wide range of works (from ‘Boris Godunov’ tragedy to ‘The Captain’s Daughter’ novel) but forms a recurrent plot as well. The author of the paper demonstrates the functioning of this image and elicits its semantics by means of numerous texts. The square space in Pushkin’s works is both a death site and a place of salvation; both a place of historic resolutions and a place of historic dead end. Special attention is paid to the allusive principle which is constitutive in Pushkin’s fiction system. The image of the square is inseparable from the events of December, 14, 1825 and July, 25, 1826 in a number of works (‘The Bronze Horseman’, ‘The Captain’s Daughter’ and others).

Rabies remains a constant threat to humanity in many parts of the world. At the same time, scientifically grounded antiepizootic measures should be based on the peculiarities of the regional epizootology of this zooanthroponosis. The authors studied the epizootological and statistical reporting data of the Kropotkin Regional Veterinary Laboratory, presented an analysis of the registration of rabies in animals in Krasnodar region. From the obtained data, it should be noted that despite the wide range of animals involved in the epizootic process of rabies infection in Krasnodar region, dogs, cats and foxes play a major role in the reservation and spread of infection, which account for 78.6. Of the total number of registered cases, 15.5% falls on foxes, that indicates the natural focus of the disease, along with the manifestation of the disease in an urban form. At the same time, stray and neglected dogs and cats, which occupy a significant place among the total number of sick animals, are also sources and spread of the infection. Thus farm animals (8.3% of the total number of infected animals) are a biological dead end for the infection. Isolated cases of the disease were noted in muskrat, donkey, raccoon, raccoon dog, marten, ferret and jackal. The authors also established the specific morbidity of various animal species with rabies infection, that is an important aspect in the development and implementation of antiepizootic measures complex

According to the characteristics of the quasi zero stiffness (QZS) system, a dynamics approximation model is established. The effect of excitation force amplitude, frequency and stiffness on the dynamic characteristics of the system is studied by continuation algorithm. The global bifurcation diagram with a wide range of parameters is achieved by using Poincaré mapping method. Results show that when the exciting force amplitude increases to a certain extent, the system will come into multi-cycle and chaos motion state. When exciting force frequency is lower, the system dynamic behavior is complicated, which is helpful for the engineering optimization design.

<p>In this work, we study the current coupled to a simplified Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) model using a dual computational and experimental approach. The surrogate structure reduced the computational burden and facilitated the experimental measurement of the coupled currents. For a practical system, a wide range of simulations and measurements must be performed to analyze the induced current variations with respect to the incident excitation properties such as the frequency, angle of incidence, and polarization. To simplify this analysis, Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) was used to compute the eigen-currents of the UAV model and predict where and under which RF excitation conditions, the coupled current is maximized. We verified these predictions using direct experimental measurement of the coupled currents. The presented simulations and measurements show the usefulness of CMA for studying electromagnetic coupling to practical systems. </p>

Abstract This paper examines the development of a networked simulation system. The Automated Robotic Manipulation (ARM) simulator is a central part of the network. This simulation tool currently assists with research and education into automated assembly. Robots, fixtures, conveyors, and parts create an automated assembly cell which is used to test advanced manufacturing software. ARM animates models of these physical components and enhances them with additional forms of three-dimensional graphical visualization. The feasibility of automated assembly can rapidly be assessed from the visual content presented by the simulator. Input formats for ARM are flexible enough to support a wide range of assembly cells and activities. Files and network transmissions customize the simulator to a particular assembly cell and its activities. The emerging assembly data protocol promotes the development of a truly integrated manufacturing system. A graphical interface complete with multiple views assists assembly cell layout and activity review, and networked operations significantly expand its role to areas such as interactive robot control and assembly preview.

The KCNK gene family encodes two-pore-domain potassium (K2P) channels, which generate the background (“leak”) K+ currents that establish a negative resting membrane potential in cells of the nervous system. A pseudotetrameric K+-selective pore is formed by pairing channel subunits, each with two pore-domains, in homo- or heterodimeric conformations. Unique features apparent from high-resolution K2P channel structures include a domain-swapped extracellular cap domain, a lateral hydrophobic-lined fenestration connecting the lipid bilayer to the channel vestibule, and an antiparallel proximal C-terminal region that links the paired subunits and provides a site for polymodal channel modulation. Individual channels transition between open and closed states, with the channel gate located at the selectivity filter. In general, K2P channels display relatively modest voltage- and time-dependent gating, together with distinct single-channel rectification properties, that conspire to yield characteristic weakly rectifying macroscopic currents over a broad range of membrane potentials (i.e., background K+ currents). Of particular note, K2P channel activity can be regulated by a wide range of physicochemical factors, neuromodulators, and clinically useful drugs; a distinct repertoire of activators and inhibitors for different K2P channel subtypes endows each with unique modulatory potential. Thus, by mediating background currents and serving as targets for multiple modulators, K2P channels are able to dynamically regulate key determinants of cell-intrinsic electroresponsive properties. The roles of specific K2P channels in various physiological processes and pathological conditions are now beginning to come into focus, and this may portend utility for these channels as potential therapeutic targets.

Recent research studies in the sphere of computer tomography are connected with the task of image analysis. Due to the fact that computed tomography images include artifacts, low contrast and different types of noises, researchers have to deal with a wide range of problems during the processing. There is a wide variety of preliminary processing methods which allow solving these problems. Obviously, the choice of these methods has a major impact on the result [1]. However, algorithm analysis of computed tomography images is not considered in the literature nowadays. This work presents an overview of the implementation approach of these methods.

A cleaning protocol that effectively removes fouling from hollow fiber UF systems without excessive use of chemicals, product water or (long) down time is needed. Cross flushing with UF feed water has been reported to increase the net flux of hollow fiber systems by reducing the frequency of backwashing, the consumption of permeate and the system down time. In this study, the flux restoration achieved in a vertical and horizontal UF system employing an intermittent water and water/air cross flush were compared. The flux restoration in the vertical UF system was not improved by the addition of air to the water flush and a maximum flux restoration of 82% was achieved, irrespective of the presence of air. Similarly, in a horizontal ultrafiltration system, a maximum flux restoration of 82% was also achieved with a water flush (v = 1.63 m/s). However, the addition of air to the water flush decreased the flux restoration to 40% at the highest water/air ratio (33% air). Low flux restoration in the horizontal system was attributed to residual air in the module after cross flushing. Flushing with water alone (v = 1.63 m/s) yielded a wall shear stress of 16 Pa compared with 130 Pa and 279 Pa in the liquid film surrounding the air slugs in the horizontal and vertical UF system, respectively, with a water/air ratio of 2:1. Despite the high shear force on the cake layer accumulated when air was added to the system, the maximum flux restoration was 82% both with and without air. This was attributed to the fact that it was the filtration mechanism and not the shear force on the cake layer that limited flux restoration during cross flushing. To improve the flux restoration that can be achieved by the cross flushing process, the filtration mechanism must be manipulated to minimize blocking filtration and induce cake filtration from the beginning of each filtration cycle.
