Internationalization of Higher Education in Russia: in Search for Development by E. V. Nikitenko

“…Important conditions for the successful development of internationalization are: a differentiated approach to universities in the implementation of internationalization strategies, the relative autonomy of the university, the elimination of the gap between the goals of internationalization and state mechanisms aimed at their implementation, as well as the conditions for developing internal internationalization, the interested joint activity of all subjects of the scientific and educational process and the private sector of the economy, the elimination of the gap among the developed mechanisms for increasing the competitiveness of the university through the commercialization of projects and the underdevelopment of public private partnership (PPP) forms in the higher education system, improving approaches to organizing the scientific and educational activities of the university.…”

In search of prosociality in rodents: A scoping review. by Valérie Charron, Joey Talbot, Patrick R Labelle, Anne T M Konkle, Hélène Plamondon

“…Findings were the following: (1) Three categories of prosocial paradigm were extracted: cooperation, helping, and sharing tasks, (2) Rodents showed the ability to perform prosocial actions in all three categories, (3) Significant gaps in reported methodologies (e.g., failure to report animals' characteristics, housing conditions, and/or experimental protocol) and mediating factors (e.g., sex, strain, housing, food restriction) were found, and (4) Behaviors are determinant when investigating prosociality in rodents, however many studies omitted to include such analyses. …”

Tooth Profile Construction Method with Double Pressure Angles for High Performance Gear Pumps by Li Deling

“…From parameters analysis of tooth profiles without undercut and displacement, the analytical expressions of pump performance coefficients such as lightweight, flow ripple and trapped-oil phenomenon on working pressure angles are derived; then from the minimum allowable value of the addendumarc angle, a one-dimensional iterative model for determining non-working pressure angle is derived. All results show that the double pressure angles construction method not only eliminates the undercut phenomenon, but also adopts the standard machining; the greater the working pressure angle is, the better the performance of lightweight, oil trapping and tooth root bending resistance will be, but the worse the quality of the flow pulsation will become; the larger the working pressure angle is, the larger the radius of curvature of the tooth profile is, the smaller the sliding coefficient and contact stress of the tooth surface are, the smaller the wear of the gear teeth will be and the longer the service life will become; the higher the addendum height coefficient is, the better the flow pulsation quality is, the worse the oil trapping performance is, and there will be little impact on the lightweight performance. …”
