TWO-POINT BOUNDARY PROBLEM SOLUTION BY NON-GRADIENT RANDOM SEARCH METHOD by V. A. Malkin

“…When solving the task of optimal control estimation of dynamical system by means of Pontryagin’s maximum principle the initial conditions of conjugate set of equations must be determined, provided that dynamical system’s variables values meet the known terminal conditions Y(tk).The problem’s solution lie in random selection of vector of initial conditions in some actual range, numerical integration of basic and conjugate systems and subsequent processing of findings. …”

Customized Approach to the Implementation of Educational Programs for Training Engineers by N. A. Antonenko, T. A. Asaeva, O. V. Tikhonova, N. V. Grechushkina

“…The employer’s participation in the educational process includes cooperation with the university not only in development of curricula and work programs of disciplines, but also in organization of seminars, conferences, in providing platforms and equipment for students to have their practice and to do their projects in real production conditions while solving actual professional problems. Customized training is one of the mechanisms to solve the problem of overabundance of specialists in some industries and a shortage of highly qualified personnel in others.…”

Diversity of Species and Behavior of Hymenopteran Parasitoids of Ants: A Review by Jean-Paul Lachaud, Gabriela Pérez-Lachaud

“…Reports of hymenopterans associated with ants involve more than 500 species, but only a fraction unambiguously pertain to actual parasitoids. In this paper, we attempt to provide an overview of both the diversity of these parasitoid wasps and the diversity of the types of interactions they have formed with their ant hosts. …”

Wet Modal Analyses of Various Length Coaxial Sump Pump Rotors with Acoustic-Solid Coupling by Guangjie Peng, Zhuoran Zhang, Ling Bai

“…The dynamic characteristics of the rotor components were determined using a first-order modal model of the rotor components for various sump pump shaft lengths for actual working environments. By employing ANSYS-Workbench software, this paper uses a fluid-solid coupling analysis to calculate the reaction forces of the fluid on the rotor with results, which is then used in dry and wet modal analyses of the rotor parts to calculate the vibration modal characteristics with and without prestresses. …”

Multiple linear regression parameters for determining fatigue-based entropy characterisation of magnesium alloy by Mohd 'Akashah Fauthan, Shahrum Abdullah, Mohamad Faizal Abdullah, Intan Fadhlina Mohamed

“…As a result, the predicted regression model based on the applied load and stress ratio was found to agree with the results of the experiment, with only 9.3% from the actual experiment. Therefore, the entropy generation can be predicted to access the dissipated energy as an irreversible degradation of a metallic material, subjected to cyclic elastic-plastic loading. …”

Serum Hepcidin Level as a Marker of Iron Status in Children with Cystic Fibrosis by Monika Kałużna-Czyż, Urszula Grzybowska-Chlebowczyk, Halina Woś, Sabina Więcek

“…Conventional iron status markers are often abnormal in patients with CF, reflecting inflammation and/or infection, rather than actual iron stores. The aim was to evaluate serum hepcidin levels against selected iron status markers, assuming that hepcidin may be a more sensitive indicator of iron management in patients with active inflammation, such as those with CF. …”
