Sound emission of solid surfaces through bubble layer

The analysis of the influence of a thin homogeneous bubble layer on sound emission from a solid surface is carried out. Sound pulses and monochromatic wave packets with a carrier frequency equal to the resonant frequency of the bubbles forming the bubble layer are considered. It is shown that the bubble layer transforms short sound pulses into wave sound packets and significantly reduces the amplitude of the emitted sound. The structure of a sinusoidal wave packet is transformed similarly. A long sound pulse is stored in the form of a pulse, its shape changes significantly. A homogeneous bubble layer near a solid radiating surface is an open resonator. The layer generates far-field radiation with spectral lines depending on the method of layer excitation and the internal properties of the bubble layer. The resonant frequency of the bubble is the limiting frequency in the spectrum, but it is not distinguished by a separate line.

ANTIRELIGIOUS WORK WITH WOMEN IN THE 1920IES AND THE FEMINIZATION PROCESSES IN THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH (BASED ON SIBERIAN MATERIALS)

В работе анализируется один из аспектов комплексной послереволюционной советской политики по «раскрепощению женщин» — антирелигиозная работа среди женского населения, которая была теснейшим образом переплетена с общими практиками воинствующего атеизма и антирелигиозной работой среди населения. Однако, по мнению автора, работа с женщинами представляла собой отдельное направление усилий ранних советских культуртрегеров, требующее специального рассмотрения. Борьба с церковью, верой и верующими занимали в общей политике модернизации страны по советскому типу одно из центральных мест, и именно высокий уровень религиозности, главным образом женского населения, представлялся самым большим препятствием на пути построения безбожного нового общества. Если такая работа, как создание институтов материнства и младенчества, женский ликбез, вовлечение женщин в общественную советскую жизнь, несмотря на массовое сопротивление, находили хоть какой-либо отклик среди определенных слоев населения (Васеха, 2015), то проведение кампании по изъятию церковных ценностей, гонения на священнослужителей, попытки подрыва православной аксиологической базы существования русского общества вызывали лишь стойкий негативизм и жесткое противостояние со стороны населения, прежде всего, женского. Изначально советские лидеры недооценивали глубину женской духовной жизни, и считали посещения храмов женщинами даню традиции и формой досуга, которые предполагалось постепенно заменить советскими культурными и социальными мероприятиями. К концу первого десятилетия советской власти стало ясно, что эти методы борьбы не являются сколько-нибудь эффективными, уровень женской вовлеченности в церковную жизнь во время противостояния богоборчеству только возрос и даже породил новые формы участия женщин в деятельности церковных приходов, включая поддержание литургической жизни и массовые явления женского подвижничества. Purpose. The paper analyzes one of the aspects of the comprehensive post-revolutionary Soviet policy for the “emancipation of women” — anti-religious work among the female population, which was closely intertwined with the general practices of militant atheism and anti-religious work among the population. However, in the author's opinion, working with women was a separate line of efforts of early Soviet cultural traders that required special consideration. Results. The struggle against the church, faith and believers occupied one of the central places in the general policy of modernization of the country according to the Soviet type, and it was the high level of religiosity, mainly of the female population, that seemed to be the biggest obstacle on the way of building a godless New society. If such work as the creation of institutions of motherhood and infancy, women's educational program, the involvement of women in Soviet social life, despite massive resistance, found at least any response among certain segments of the population, then a campaign to seize church values, persecution of clergy, attempts to undermine Orthodox axiological basis for the existence of Russian society was caused only by persistent negativism and tough opposition from the population, primarily women. Conclusion. Initially, Soviet leaders underestimated the depth of women's spiritual life, and considered visiting churches as a tribute to tradition and a form of leisure, which were supposed to gradually be replaced by Soviet cultural and social events. By the end of the first decade of Soviet power, it became clear that these methods of struggle were not at all effective, the level of women's involvement in church life during the opposition to theomachy only increased and even gave rise to new forms of women's participation in church parishes, including participation in liturgical life and mass phenomena of female asceticism.

New Method of Materials Flow Calculation for Double-String SLCI Type Cement Plant (Part 1: The Whole Clinker Plant)

Materials flow values are instrumental in many industries for controlling and simulating processes, designing new equipment as well as modifying existing plants. They are sometimes impossible to determine by direct measurement in an operating plant due to the very high temperatures. This study attempted to overcome the difficulties associated with this measurement by proposing a new method to calculate materials flow of a double-string suspension preheater type of cement plant with separate line and in-line calciners (SLC-I), with heat balance error less than 1%. This study was divided into two sequential parts, with the first part presented in this paper. The methodology of the first part was to solve the conservation law of the main clinker plant equipment, supported by Bogue’s equation, the heat of calcination, and the thermodynamic properties of the related materials. The least-square method was employed for solving the overdetermined system equations obtained in the second part. The results of the first part were: the ratio of heat formation to specific heat consumption was 52.13% (> 50%), and the gas exhausted from the plant yielded more than 117 MW heat equivalent, which can potentially be recovered for electricity production.

Multimedia Digital Signal Processing of Infrared Chemical Remote Sensing Based on Piecewise Linear Discriminant Algorithm

According to the basic principle of piecewise linear classifier and its application in the field of infrared chemical remote sensing monitoring, the characteristics of unilateral piecewise linear classifier applied to the infrared spectrum identification of chemical agents are studied. With the characteristic of separate transmission, the characteristic recovery with the total observed deviation is used for the model. The relaxation factors are used to replace the constrained conditions that cannot be optimized into constrained separate line segment calculation conditions. Experiments show that the result of signal recovery is better than traditional Wiener filtering and Richardson–Lucy methods.

Understanding the Structure of Cognitive Noise

Human cognition is fundamentally noisy. While routinely regarded as a nuisance in experimental investigation, the few studies investigating properties of cognitive noise have found surprising structure. A first line of research has shown that inter-response-time distributions are heavy-tailed. That is, response times between subsequent trials usually change only a small amount, but with occasional large changes. A second, separate, line of research has found that participants’ estimates and response times both exhibit long-range autocorrelations (i.e., 1/f noise). Thus, each judgment and response time not only depends on its immediate predecessor but also on many previous responses. These two lines of research use different tasks and have distinct theoretical explanations: models that account for heavy-tailed response times do not predict 1/f autocorrelations and vice versa. Here, we find that 1/f noise and heavy-tailed response distributions co-occur in both types of tasks. We also show that a statistical sampling algorithm, developed to deal with patchy environments, generates both heavy-tailed distributions and 1/f noise, suggesting that cognitive noise may be a functional adaptation to dealing with a complex world.

When Your Boss Says, “You Need to Sound More Professional”: Writing Style and Writer Attributions

One line of prior research has focused on the effect of style on readers’ ability to comprehend or willingness to engage with a message. A separate line has illuminated the effect of errors on the impressions readers form about writers, identifying potentially serious consequences (e.g., the willingness to accept the writer as a coworker or to fund the writer’s business pitch). To date, few studies have investigated the effect of style on the impressions readers form of business writers. In this paper, we report a study of the relationship between business writer attributions and word- or sentence-level style features often emphasized by advocates of plain style. Using data from 614 respondents, we found statistically significant evidence that business writers conveyed (a) confidence by avoiding non-requisite words, jargon, and nominals and by using standard connotations and grammar, and (b) professionalism by avoiding non-requisite words and hedges and by using standard homonyms.

DISPUTING TRANSACTIONS IN A RUSSIAN COURT IN THE FRAMEWORK OF FOREIGN BANKRUPTCY

​ The article addresses the special features of avoidance transactions of a foreign insolvent debtor for alienation of property within Russian Federation. The author argues that the power of the foreign insolvency administrator to bring a claim to challenge the transaction stems from the Arts. 1195–1197 and 1202 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation regarding the law applicable to the legal capacity of a person. On the separate line the article discusses the issue of law applicable to challenging of various categories of transactions of a foreign debtor. Based on the analysis of the doctrine and judicial practice, the author comes to the conclusion that transactions concluded by a foreign debtor after the introduction of a bankruptcy procedure may be challenged in a Russian court on the basis of the limitation of the legal capacity of a foreign person (Arts. 1195–1197 and 1202 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, foreign bankruptcy legislation cannot be applied to avoidance of real estate transactions concluded before the introduction of bankruptcy procedure against a foreign debtor due to paragraph 2 of Art. 1213 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The article is concluded with an analysis of the issue of jurisdiction of the claim for challenging the transaction of a foreign insolvent debtor.

META-GENRE PATTERN OF MYSTERY IN THE SYSTEM OF KIND-TYPE-GENRE LITERARY VERTICAL

Purpose of the paper is to clarify the model of the kind-type-genre vertical presented in the theory of genres.Methods: typological analysis (historically comparative).Results. The author has substantiated that in the traditional model of genre evolution it is important to denote also the meta-genre pattern (meta-genre form), which contains information about the most distant genre characteristics in time, which will later develop a separate line in genres and genre varieties. In different cultural and historical periods, the stability of the genre is determined by the existing meta-genre forms, which serve as the core of the genre, ensuring the stability of key components and at the same time assimilating in different ways innovations due to worldview, aesthetic doctrines, etc. Each cultural-historical epoch reinforces and absorbs something to the genre; however, the meta-genre pattern implies the stability of the genre core and makes it possible to trace the evolution of key genre characteristics. It is suggested that in the classical model in the paradigm of kind-type-genre vertical it is important to denote a meta-genre pattern that contains the archetypal memory of the genre. The analysis of the origins of tragedy and comedy in the ancient period gives grounds to state the presence in each of the genres the features that later acquire a development in the paradigm of each genre model. The meta-genre pattern combines opposite characteristics of the genre, which indicate the emergence of genres from a common source. The legitimacy of substantiation of mystery as a meta-genre form of literature is proved. Modern approaches to the interpretation of the genre in the context of not only literary concepts, but also findings in cultural studies have been discussed.Conclusions. The interaction of the mysterious and the carnival in the most ancient forms of tragedy and comedy has been studied. The research gives grounds to speak about the mystery and the mysterious as the oldest factors of drama, containing the archetypal memory of the genre. It is reasonable to distinguish mystery as a type of drama and a meta-genre form. Meta-genre pattern represents itself differently in various cultural periods determining their dynamics of transformations.Key words: meta-genre pattern (meta-genre form), genre theory, mystery, carnival, tragedy, comedy. Мета статті – уточнити наявну в теорії жанрів модель родо-видо-жанрової вертикалі, доповнивши її компонентом мета-жанрового патерну.Методи: типологічний аналіз (порівняльно-історичний).Результати. Акцентовано на тому, що в традиційній моделі жанрової еволюції важливо позначати метажанровий патерн (метажанрову форму), що містить інформацію про найвіддаленіші в часі жанрові характеристики, котрі згодом набудуть осіб-ного розвитку в жанрах і жанрових різновидах. У різні культурно-історичні періоди сталість жанру визначають метажанрові форми, які виконують функцію ядра жанру, забезпечуючи стабільність ключових компонентів і водночас асимілюючи в різний спосіб інновації, зумовлені світовідчуттям, естетичними доктринами та ін. нового часу. Кожна культурна-історична епоха щось додає до жанру, проте метажанровий патерн забезпечує сталість жанрового ядра й дає можливість простежити еволюцію ключових жанрових характеристик. Запропоновано, що в класичній моделі між родом і видом у парадигмі родо-видо-жанрової вертикалі важливо позначати метажанровий патерн, який містить архетипну пам’ять жанру. З огляду на дослідження витоків трагедії та комедії в античному періоді доцільно говорити про наявність у кожному з жанрів рис, які згодом набудуть окремого розвитку в лоні певної жанрової моделі. Метажанровий патерн поєднує у собі часом протилежні характеристики, які свідчать про постання жанрів зі спільного джерела, а отже, це поняття має бути враховане з погляду жанрології під час характеристики генологічної специфіки твору. Охарактеризовано правомочність обґрунтування містерії як метажанрової форми літератури. Проаналізовано сучасні підходи до тлумачення жанру в контексті не лише літературознавчих концепцій, а й напрацювань у царині культурології. Досліджено взаємодію містеріального та карнавального в найдавніших формах трагедії й комедії.Висновки. Категорія «містеріальне» як один із найдавніших чинників драми експлікує архетипну пам’ять драматичних жанрів. Доцільно розрізняти містерію як жанр драми і як метажанрову форму, реактуалізовану в різні культурно-історичні періоди. Метажанровий патерн по-різному виявляє себе в історичній динаміці літературних процесів, постаючи маркером їх трансформацій.Ключові слова: метажанровий патерн (метажанрова форма), теорія жанрів, містерія, карнавал, трагедія, комедія

Directions for optimizing business sustainability management in the digital economy (motivation and efficiency)

Business development and increased competition in the main capital-intensive markets have long shown that managing a modern enterprise without automating business processes will inevitably lead to a loss of sales growth and, in the future, the loss of a separate line of business. ERP-systems have become quite widespread in Russia, which are being implemented by a wide range of companies, mainly medium and large, the ultimate goal of such industries is to effectively perform the functions of processing material supplies and managing reserves.
