In 2011-2017 in the framework of the international collaboration project “Energy and Transmutation of RAW”, a series of experimental studies on the deep subcritical uranium assembly QUINTA were carried out. The massive uranium target (512 kg of natU) was irradiated with 0.66 GeV proton, deuterons and 12C nuclei (1 to 4 AGeV) from the Phasotron and Nuclotron accelerators (JINR, Dubna). The main results of experimental studies carried out with the participation of the Kharkov group of collaboration are presented.

“SICP” stands for Students International Collaboration Project. This chapter describes a project where students create learning with faculty mentors, offering insights into problem solving. Achieving the freedom to learn and broaden students’ individual interpersonal skills is the main goal for this new endeavor. This chapter will explain SICP’s mission and its procedures, analyze its main concepts, and describe the outcomes. Experiences of past projects in the learning curve will be used to give a practical framework for teachers who would be interested in initiating such a project, not only for their students but also for themselves. The prototype combined French and American teams who wrote a research paper together. The learned outcomes focused on improved communication skills and team management. In the process, the students also learned about a different culture. This mentoring process constitutes an opportunity for teachers to stimulate learning by involving students in a shared responsibility experience. This project expands traditional classroom learning into an experiential process to learn new concepts.

AbstractRecently, Wadi flash floods (WFFs) have happened frequently in arid environments, resulting in great damage the society and the environment. In Oman, severe WFFs have occurred repeatedly within the last 10 years causing a huge impact on human lives and properties. This paper aims at introducing the framework of an international collaboration project between Japan and Oman for WFF management considering sediment dynamics and climate changes. Four research groups were established: climate change (G1), rainfall-runoff modeling (G2), sediment yield and transport (G3), and sedimentation and infiltration processes (G4). Several field investigations were conducted since 2017 until now. The detailed field survey to assess the deposited sediment in a dry reservoir by using sediment bars, and infiltration test, as well as drone survey were addressed. Some of the preliminary results and findings from the field investigation is discussed. The results show there is an adverse impact of sedimentation clogging on the infiltration process at the reservoirs. Based on the historical rainfall data analysis, there is a systematic increasing trend of the annual average precipitation with remarkable cycles over the MENA region and Oman. The knowledge obtained from this project is expected to be valuable to understanding sediment dynamics at Wadi basins.

New Generation

The aim of this research has been to develop a new generation of eco-friendly binders, soluble at alkaline pH, which could allow facile recovery of explosive fillers without using organic solvents, while maintaining their chemical and physical characteristics. For this purpose, �smart� polymeric binders are to be designed based on acrylic acid and other acrylic monomers. In this view, theoretical and experimental studies have been performed in order to establish which synthesized polymer is adequate for the desired application.

Crop products require good moisture content for successful storage. The drying process is mainly used for this purpose. For its successful design and implementation it is necessary to have information about the physical and mechanical properties of the material, including thermo physical characteristics. It is for the successful implementation of the process of post-harvest processing of pumpkin seeds were planned and conducted experimental studies. Analysis of previous studies to determine the thermo physical characteristics of various materials, including plant products, showed that in most cases one series of experiments to determine three main indicators - heat capacity, thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity of products. Unfortunately, there is no universal method and installation for determining the required indicators, so in our research we used the original installation, the principle of which is based on the use of non-stationary heating patterns of two semi-bounded rods, where the source of heat is constant power. The theoretical basis of the implemented method is the solution and analysis of the thermal equation with the corresponding boundary conditions. Intermediate equations were obtained from which the values of thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity for each series of experiments were found by the graph-analytical method of solution. The value of heat capacity of the material was determined from the well-known formula of the ratio of these three indicators. As a result of research and processing of the obtained data, the dependences of the thermo physical properties of the material on its humidity were determined, which are presented in graphical and analytical form. The obtained dependences confirmed the results of researches of some authors on the presence of inflection in the graph of thermal conductivity which is explained by the transition of moisture from free to bound state.

Internationalization-at-home activities present relevant opportunities for innovation in the teaching-learning process. These activities provide a very broad set of advantages, including the development of soft skills and increased motivation of students. This article aims to contribute to the debate on internationalization of higher education institutions by exploring students’ perceptions and experiences after participating in an international collaboration project involving 153 students in 5 universities in Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Scotland and the United States of America during the Fall/Winter semester 2017. The focus of this study is students’ satisfaction and perceptions. Results demonstrate that although students found the idea of collaborating with peers from other universities very appealing, high levels of satisfaction depended on commitment, both their own and that of their peers. The feelings during the project were predominantly positive, although students recognized that they should have communicated more with their partners and put more effort in the collaboration. This article provides useful evidence for instructors that are considering an international collaboration activity for their students. It demonstrates the deliverables of such initiatives as well as the clear advantage gained by receiving students’ feedback. Hopefully it will inspire other instructors and contribute to the diffusion of international collaboration as a teaching-learning practice.

Perception of physical characteristics of the body is a major component of the body schema in animals. The experimental studies of the perception of body limits were conducted on two species of colubridae snakes: Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli and Elaphe radiata. The experimental setup provided that the animals take into account the enlarged limits of their bodies while finding way through the holes of different sizes. Both species demonstrated the ability to take into account both natural and enlarged limits of the body. However, only the Elaphe radiata were able to transfer previously formed skills to take into account the body limits to new experimental conditions thus demonstrating greater lability of the organization of mental representation of the body in comparison with Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli.
