ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTMENTS IN THE HUMAN CAPITAL OF UNIVERSITIES by V. V. Kovelskiy, E. P. Rostova

“…The result of such investments can be an increase in publication activity, an increase in the citation index, an increase in the income brought by the employee in terms of grants, R&D, and contract work. The methodology for effectiveness evaluation is based on an analysis of the scientific and innovative activity of employees through income from innovative activities and an indicator of the number of employees involved in innovative activities and having an individual path of development.…”

The Conical Radial Basis Function for Partial Differential Equations by J. Zhang, F. Z. Wang, E. R. Hou

“…The performance of the parameter-free conical radial basis functions accompanied with the Chebyshev node generation is investigated for the solution of boundary value problems. In contrast to the traditional conical radial basis function method, where the collocation points are placed uniformly or quasi-uniformly in the physical domain of the boundary value problems in question, we consider three different Chebyshev-type schemes to generate the collocation points. …”

Estimation to Practicability of the Building Substation by Voltage 330 sQ with Three Power Transformers by M. A. Korotkevich, A. L. Starzhinsky

“…It is installed that hooking two lines and two transformers at scheme distributing device by voltage 330 sQ «transformers – a buses with joining line through two breakers» and three installed transformer on substations brings about reduction of the factor to unavailability in 18,2 times in contrast with scheme with two transformers. At connection of the third transformer through two breakers factor to unavailability practically does not change.At connection one of the transformer through two breakers, at one-and-a-half-breaker scheme RU 330 sQ factor to unavailability falls in 6,6 times to scheme RU 330 sQ «transformers – a buses with joining line through two breakers» under three transformers.…”
