Thermophysical analisis of modification of the surface of the workpiece by laser radiation by M. N. Vereschagin, S. N. Tselueva, M. Yu. Tseluev

“…Under the action of a heat source of constant power, moving in a straight line at a constant speed, the process of heat propagation tends to the limiting quasistationary state, when the temperature field does not change with time and moves along with the source.The dependences obtained allow us to estimate the effect of the laser treatment mode on the distribution of temperature fields, establish the patterns of heat propagation and relate them to phase transformations in the metal.It has been established that the technological modes of exposure to laser radiation are limited by the value of the energy per pulse from 4 to 12 J. …”

NEW APPROACHES TO THE FORMATION OF LEGAL COMPETENCE IN ENGINEERING PEDAGOGY by S. V. Barabanova, R. I. Zinurova

“…It represents the result of long-term research and reflections on improving the legal support for engineering activities through developing the new forms of interaction between legal experts and engineers or between teaching staff and the management of engineering universities. The authors estimate the conventional approaches to organizing the teaching of future engineers legal disciplines as non-complying with the requirements of the modern engineering activities, and propose both to revise the contents of the existing courses and modify the organizational set-up of universities. …”

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter by Paul Gorenstein, Wallace Tucker

“…Distorted shapes of galaxies and other features created by gravitational lensing in the images of many astronomical objects require an amount of dark matter consistent with other estimates. The unambiguous detection of dark matter and more recently evidence for dark energy has positioned astronomy at the frontier of fundamental physics as it was in the 17th century.…”
