Analysis of Influencing Factors of Teaching Effect Based on Structural Equation Model by Xin Xu

“…The research first collects various relevant data, derives the latent variables and measurement variables, then composes the measurement model, and then verifies the adaptability of the measurement model structure mode through actual data collection. When such suitable factors are determined, a causal model based on path analysis technology for latent variables, that is, a structural model, can be used for parameter design. …”

Model-Based Control Design and Integration of Cyberphysical Systems: An Adaptive Cruise Control Case Study by Emeka Eyisi, Zhenkai Zhang, Xenofon Koutsoukos, Joseph Porter, Gabor Karsai, Janos Sztipanovits

“…The systematic design of automotive control applications is a challenging problem due to lack of understanding of the complex and tight interactions that often manifest during the integration of components from the control design phase with the components from software generation and deployment on actual platform/network. In order to address this challenge, we present a systematic methodology and a toolchain using well-defined models to integrate components from various design phases with specific emphasis on restricting the complex interactions that manifest during integration such as timing, deployment, and quantization. …”

On quantifying dynamic behavior of architected metal/polymer TPMS/lattices-based interpenetrating phase composites by K. B. Shingare, Andreas Schiffer, Kin Liao

“…The periodic boundary conditions were applied using FE analysis to compute the effective properties, while these properties were utilized to investigate the dynamic analysis of composite structures considering free vibration, wherein actual and homogenized models are compared. Our results reveal that the effective properties of IPCs increase with respect to the volume fraction of respective architectures in conjunction with enhanced natural frequency and less deformation. …”

The comparative analysis of the cytogenetic and morphometric characteristics of some mammals by Hakhiyev Agil, Rajabova Sevinj, Mammadov Ayaz

“…In these species (Libyan Jird ( Meriones libycus Lichtenstein, 1842)), the studying of the chromosomal homology and intraspecies problems is one of the actual issues. Based on the literature data about the species of Libyan Jird (Meriones libycus Lichtenstein, 1842), it turns out that very few researches have been conducted in the physical-geographical region of Jeyranchol - Ajinohur. …”

To the question of ethno-cultural policy of contemporary states by E. S. Karsanova

“…This article is an attempt to answer this question.The analysis of trends in modern ethno-cultural policy in some European countries allows us to consider the dynamics undergoing ethno-political and sociocultural processes, in some cases as a solution to actual economic tasks and labor migration, in others - as a search for optimum ways of artificial creation of unified multicultural space.The conducted research allows to conclude that the declaration of the principles of multiculturalism doesn’t give a guarantee of achievement of interethnic tolerance, on the contrary, its functional application in a form of a certain formal technique, is obviously unpromising right where the target state policy is realized…”
