Historical entanglements, conflicting agendas and visions: Radio Botswana and the making of a national radio station
Authors: Mosime Sethunya Tshepho , Mhlanga Brilliant
Published: January 2016

Botswana’s government as one of the celebrated postcolonial democracies in Southern Africa continues to have the state owning and controlling the media – in particular, broadcast media. The history of government-owned and controlled media in Botswana can be understood through colonial lenses – it stands out as a product of historical entanglements with the influence of apartheid South Africa’s role, and the invention of Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) hegemony. These were further mitigated by other factors that include the sections of Information and Broadcasting’s own internal politics and growth, and, within the geopolitical prism, the Cold War period. This article focuses on the history of radio in Botswana showing its multiple origins and the conflicting visions as to the role and nature of broadcasting in the colony and postcolony. We posit that the aims of modernization, nationalism, national identity and public versus government ownership all had their place in the establishment of radio in the country. Further, we argue that the powerful presence of a coercive and quite overbearing neighbour, South Africa with its South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), and a paternalist British voice alongside an anxious postcolonial government, all shaped the eventual identity of Radio Botswana.
Modes of griot inscription in African cinema
Authors: Fisher Alexander
Published: January 2016

A recurring idea in the criticism of African cinema has been that the films frequently deploy the narrative techniques of the griot, the storyteller of West African tradition. In particular, Manthia Diawara (1989, 1992) alerted us to the inscription of the oral narrator within the visual discourse of particular African films, while other critics have considered how the films recall the narrative forms of traditional oral tales. However, these critics’ exclusive attention to the visual track and/or narrative form overlooks another inscription of the griot – an inscription that exists at the level of music. Examining music and image relationships in an aesthetically diverse set of African films, this article demonstrates how griot inscription emerges as a major variable, modulating between music and image within and between texts. This propels music, and the griot, to a status of primary importance in terms of understanding the ways in which the films explore and reappropriate notions of ‘African-ness’ while negotiating the tensions of address generated when oral forms of narrative meet the industrial form of cinema.
Ascensão e Queda das Celebridades Desportivas
Authors: Gomes Rui Machado
Published: January 2016

Análise crítica da construção das celebridades desportivas contemporâneas pelos meios de comunicação proporciona o enquadramento necessário à conceptualização do modo como os sujeitos usam os recursos mediáticos para a sua criatividade e para os processos de produção de identidade defendida pelo autor. Considera-se que a natureza da celebridade desportiva sofreu fortes mutações desde os anos 60, que a criação e manutenção da celebridade é em si mesma uma indústria tornada possível pelos meios de comunicação e que este processo é conduzido a partir de visões unidimensionais e maniqueístas. Os media criam com frequência narrativas que opõem os heróis e os vilões desportivos. Esta estrutura narrativa integra-se num processo mais geral da mundialização da sociedade do espectáculo. Proporcionando um alvo temporário para a consciência colectiva, os espectáculos desportivos e a iconomania que os acompanha garantem a ilusão de instantaneidade e, simultaneamente, de autoreferencialidade. Conclui-se que a universalização dos modos de vida garantidos pela desportivisão acompanha o máximo de singularização de cada um no seu espaço privado.

Modelling Tyre-Road Noise with Data Mining Techniques
Authors: Freitas Elisabete , Tinoco Joaquim , Soares Francisco , Costa Jocilene , Cortez Paulo , Pereira Paulo
Published: January 2016

The research aimed to establish tyre-road noise models by using a Data Mining approach that allowed to build a predictive model and assess the importance of the tested input variables. The data modelling took into account three learning algorithms and three metrics to define the best predictive model. The variables tested included basic properties of pavement surfaces, macrotexture, megatexture, and unevenness and, for the first time, damping. Also, the importance of those variables was measured by using a sensitivity analysis procedure. Two types of models were set: one with basic variables and another with complex variables, such as megatexture and damping, all as a function of vehicles speed. More detailed models were additionally set by the speed level. As a result, several models with very good tyre-road noise predictive capacity were achieved. The most relevant variables were Speed, Temperature, Aggregate size, Mean Profile Depth, and Damping, which had the highest importance, even though influenced by speed. Megatexture and IRI had the lowest importance. The applicability of the models developed in this work is relevant for trucks tyre-noise prediction, represented by the AVON V 4 test tyre, at the early stage of road pavements use. Therefore, the obtained models are highly useful for the design of pavements and for noise prediction by road authorities and contractors.

New insights into the substrate specificity of macrophage elastase MMP-12
Authors: Lamort Anne-Sophie , Gravier Rodolphe , Laffitte Anni , Juliano Luiz , Zani Marie-Louise , Moreau Thierry
Published: January 2016

Macrophage elastase, or MMP-12, is mainly produced by alveolar macrophages and is believed to play a major role in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The catalytic domain of MMP-12 is unique among MMPs in that it is very highly active on numerous substrates including elastin. However, measuring MMP-12 activity in biological fluids has been hampered by the lack of highly selective substrates. We therefore synthesized four series of fluorogenic peptide substrates based on the sequences of MMP-12 cleavage sites in its known substrates. Human MMP-12 efficiently cleaved peptide substrates containing a Pro at P3 in the sequence Pro-X-X↓Leu but lacked selectivity towards these substrates compared to other MMPs, including MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-9 and MMP-13. On the contrary, the substrate Abz-RNALAVERTAS-EDDnp derived from the CXCR5 chemokine was the most selective substrate for MMP-12 ever reported. All substrates were cleaved more efficiently by full-length MMP-12 than by its catalytic domain alone, indicating that the C-terminal hemopexin domain influences substrate binding and/or catalysis. Docking experiments revealed unexpected interactions between the peptide substrate Abz-RNALAVERTAS-EDDn and MMP-12 residues. Most of our substrates were poorly cleaved by murine MMP-12 suggesting that human and murine MMP-12 have different substrate specificities despite their structural similarity.
RAS and downstream RAF-MEK and PI3K-AKT signaling in neuronal development, function and dysfunction
Authors: Zhong Jian
Published: January 2016

In postmitotic neurons, the activation of RAS family small GTPases regulates survival, growth and differentiation. Dysregulation of RAS or its major effector pathway, the cascade of RAF-, mitogen-activated and extracellular-signal regulated kinase kinases (MEK), and extracellular-signal regulated kinases (ERK) causes the RASopathies, a group of neurodevelopmental disorders whose pathogenic mechanisms are the subject of intense research. I here summarize the functions of RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling in neurons in vivo, and discuss perspectives for harnessing this pathway to enable novel treatments for nervous system injury, the RASopathies, and possibly other neurological conditions.
Safety Critical Computer Systems: Failure Independence and Software Diversity Effects on Reliability of Dual Channel Structures
Authors: Hristov Hristo , Bo Wang
Published: January 2016

The paper examines Safety Critical real-time Systems (SCS), in particular their dual-channel structures. The analytical study on computer-based SCS recognizing failures comparing the results of both channels is based on the theory of reliability. The aim is to establish reliable models that include independence rate between failures of both channels and their diversity. The created formulas are used to calculate the function of reliability, probability of safety failures and hazard failures. The intensity of failures of the system and the intensity of its recovery, the ratio between Common Mode Failures (CMF) and failures of individual channels are explicitly presented in the models. for the independence of hardware and software Faults are introduced. The analytical models obtained allow evaluating the effects of independence of channels and the depth of their diversity. A formula for calculating the improvement of safety thanks to the dual-channel architecture in comparison to a single-channel structure of the same output reliability parameters has been worked out. Analytical models can be used to calculate indicators of systems in order to establish their compliance with safety standards. Analytical models can be used to calculate indicators of specific systems to determine their compliance with safety standards. The results make possible to find out technical solutions with better reliability and safety features.

The Chinese Economic System Under Mao
Authors: Wang Ning
Published: January 2016

This paper attempts a character study of China’s economic system under Mao to uncover changes and continuities between Mao’s economy and post-Mao Chinese economic reforms. While some historical roots of China’s market transformation can be readily traced back to Mao’s era, it remains open to debate how Mao’s legacies were actually translated into institutional forces facilitating China’s transition to a market economy. In addition, the presence of such linkage leads us to ponder why Mao’s economy failed so miserably, particularly in comparison with the rapid rise of the Chinese economy in the post-Mao era.
Unequal distribution of 16S mtrRNA at the 2-cell stage regulates cell lineage allocations in mouse embryos
Authors: Zheng Zhuxia , Li Hongmei , Zhang Qinfen , Yang Lele , Qi Huayu
Published: January 2016

Cell lineage determination during early embryogenesis has profound effects on adult animal development. Pre-patterning of embryos, such as that ofDrosophilaandCaenorhabditis elegans, is driven by asymmetrically localized maternal or zygotic factors, including mRNA species and RNA binding proteins. However, it is not clear how mammalian early embryogenesis is regulated and what the early cell fate determinants are. Here we show that, in mouse, mitochondrial ribosomal RNAs (mtrRNAs) are differentially distributed between 2-cell sister blastomeres. This distribution pattern is not related to the overall quantity or activity of mitochondria which appears equal between 2-cell sister blastomeres. Like in lower species, 16S mtrRNA is found to localize in the cytoplasm outside of mitochondria in mouse 2-cell embryos. Alterations of 16S mtrRNA levels in one of the 2-cell sister blastomere via microinjection of either sense or anti-sense RNAs drive its progeny into different cell lineages in blastocyst. These results indicate that mtrRNAs are differentially distributed among embryonic cells at the beginning of embryogenesis in mouse and they are functionally involved in the regulation of cell lineage allocations in blastocyst, suggesting an underlying molecular mechanism that regulates pre-implantation embryogenesis in mouse.

Lietuvos pranciškonai 1940–1989–2004 metais: nuo išsklaidymo iki atgimimo
Authors: Baleišaitė-Sabakonienė Rasuolė
Published: January 2016

1940-ieji atnešė sunkumų Lietuvos mažesniesiems broliams pranciškonams. Iš jų gyvenimo perspektyvos sovietinės okupacijos laikotarpį siūloma skirstyti į keletą etapų. Pirmuoju lūžiniu tašku tapo jau minėti 1940 m., kai prasidėjo represijos prieš aktyviausius brolius ir nebeliko oficialios mažesniųjų brolių vadovybės Lietuvoje. Antrasis etapas žymimas 1948 m., kai oficialiai buvo panaikintos visos Lietuvoje veikusios vienuolijos ir vienuoliai buvo priversti rasti būdų gyvuoti progrindžio sąlygomis arba kitų būdų išgyventi. 1980 m. prasidėjo trečias etapas, kai paskutinis pranciškonas kunigas Lietuvoje mirė ir dviem kunigams buvo suteiktas išimtinis leidimas duoti įžadus vienas kitam. Oficialų išėjimą iš pogrindžio – žymintį ketvirtą etapą – vainikuoja 1989 m. lapkričio 19 d. Kretingoje švenčiamos šv. Mišios. Nors provincijos kurija Kretingoje atkurta 1997 m., sąlyginis atsigavimo užbaigimo taškas yra 2004 m. gruodžio 8 d. Mažesniųjų brolių pranciškonų Generalinio ministro dekretas, skelbiantis nepriklausomą ir visateisę Lietuvos Šv. Kazimiero mažesniųjų brolių provinciją.

US Poison Control Center Calls for Infants 6 Months of Age and Younger
Authors: Kang A. Min , Brooks Daniel E.
Published: January 2016

BACKGROUND:

Anticipatory guidance and prevention efforts to decrease poisonings in young children have historically focused on restricting access to minimize exploratory ingestions. Because infants through 6 months of age have limited mobility, such exposures are expected to be less frequent and therapeutic (or dosing) errors should be more frequent. Although recent prevention efforts target some types of therapeutic errors, the epidemiology of these exposures is not well characterized in this age group. This could have important implications for the effectiveness of current prevention efforts.

METHODS:

A 10-year (2004–2013) retrospective review of exposure calls for infants through 6 months of age was conducted on National Poison Data System files.

RESULTS:

A total of 271 513 exposures were reported, of which 96.7% were unintentional. Of these, the most common reasons were general unintentional (50.7%), which includes exploratory exposures, and therapeutic error (36.7%). Among the latter, 47.0% involved quantitative dosing errors (a different amount than intended) and 42.8% involved nonquantitative dosing errors (a medication given twice or too soon, the wrong medication, or wrong route). Most exposures (97.5%)occurred in the home but only 85.2% of calls came from the home;80.4% ofself-referrals to a healthcare facility were not admitted.

CONCLUSIONS:

General unintentional (including exploratory) exposures and therapeutic errors both comprise a large proportion of calls in this age group. Among therapeutic errors, quantitative and nonquantitative dosing errors are equally concerning. There areappreciablenumbers of patients presenting to healthcare prior topoison centerconsultation. These data can help target future anticipatory guidance and prevention measures.
Why Archaeologists Misrepresent Their Practice
Authors: Hutchings Richard Matthew , La Salle Marina
Published: January 2016

The statement “we are all archaeologists now” is an assertion of archaeology’s democratization thus goodness. It is also a gross misrepresentation of how archaeology is practiced daily, especially in colonized settings like the United States and Canada. Archaeology is today—as it has always been—an elite undertaking that serves elite class interests. Since 1950, archaeology has become increasingly bureaucratized and corporatized, and today the vast majority of archaeology is state-sanctioned but highly privatized cultural resource management. As a technology of government designed to control living Indigenous people and their resources, we suggest archaeology is becoming radically less democratic, not more, and ask why archaeologists so routinely misrepresent their profession.
Archaeology in the Era of Capitalism
Authors: Faria Selma
Published: January 2016

While attempting to resolve the query at hand, this essay aims at directing the attention of the conversation to the macro-economic power plays and interactions which permeate modern and contemporary archaeological practice. First pointing out the effects market fluctuation has had on the activity’s intervenients, it then focuses on exposing how a politicized global financial crisis has brought about the precarization of an entire professional class, and the massification of a new type of practitioner, the occasional freelance archaeologist. Subjected to the instability of a system (the current economic paradigm), which it has long been made to enter a partnership with, archaeology seems to be unable to avoid its own asphyxiation and the one of its agents, in times of financial distress. This text records a very challenging time to the practice of archaeology, one in which its once profitable marriage to the capitalist economic logic now endangers the very democratization of the discipline, risking its substitution by a neo-elitization of sorts, if urgent measures to ensure the opposite are not taken. The focus is on what could be considered one of the main root causes behind the present question. It becomes inevitable to conclude that engaging on potentially segregational peer discourse is pointless and dangerous.
Restriktiver Ventrikelseptumdefekt bei einem Zwergkaninchen
Authors: Leuser C. , Miltz D. , Henrich E. , Schneider M. , Hildebrandt N.
Published: January 2016

Ein 9 Wochen altes, unkastriertes weibliches Zwergkaninchen wurde zur Abklärung eines Herzgeräusches vorgestellt. Die Auskultation ergab ein systolisches Herzgeräusch Grad IV/VI mit einem rechtsseitigen Punctum maximum. Radiologisch fanden sich Hinweise auf eine Linksherzvergrößerung. Das EKG in rechter Seitenlage des Tieres zeigte eine Sinustachykardie mit einer Frequenz von 360 Schlägen/Minute. Echokardiographisch wurden unauffällige Dimensionen der Kammern und Vorkammern festgestellt. Bei der zweidimensionalen Darstellung ließ sich ein perimembranöser Ventrikelseptumdefekt (ca. 0,8 mm im Durchmesser) nachweisen, der sowohl von rechts (Längs- und Kurzachse) als auch von links parasternal darstellbar war. Bei der Doppler- Echokardiographie präsentierte sich dieser als reiner Links-rechts- Shunt mit einer systolischen Maximalflussgeschwindigkeit von 5,2 m/s. Zudem bestand eine relative Pulmonalstenose (Flussgeschwindigkeit Arteria pulmonalis: 1,02 m/s im PW-Doppler). Aufgrund dieser Befunde wurde der Defekt als restriktiver Ventrikelseptumdefekt einstuft. Eine medikamentöse Therapie war zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht erforderlich. Eine Nachuntersuchung nach 7 Wochen zeigte eine unveränderte morphologische und hämodynamische Situation. Das Tier verstarb ca. 6 Jahre später an einer nichtkardialen Ursache. Der Ventrikelseptumdefekt bei diesem Zwergkaninchen stellte sich damit sowohl klinisch als auch sonographisch vergleichbar zu entsprechenden Befunden bei Hund und Katze sowie bei einem Kaninchen der Rasse Weißer Neuseeländer dar.
The Rationale for Targeted Therapies and Stereotactic Radiosurgery in the Treatment of Brain Metastases
Authors: Moraes Fabio Ynoe , Taunk Neil K. , Marta Gustavo Nader , Suh John H. , Yamada Yoshiya
Published: January 2016

Brain metastases are the most common intracranial malignancy. Many approaches, including radiation therapy, surgery, and cytotoxic chemotherapy, have been used to treat patients with brain metastases depending on the patient’s disease burden and symptoms. However, stereotactic surgery (SRS) has revolutionized local treatment of brain metastases. Likewise, targeted therapies, including small-molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies that target cancer cell metabolism or angiogenesis, have transformed managing systemic disease. Prospective data on combining these treatments for synergistic effect are limited, but early data show favorable safety and efficacy profiles. The combination of SRS and targeted therapy will further individualize treatment, potentially obviating the need for cytotoxic chemotherapy or whole-brain radiation. There is a great need to pursue research into these exciting modalities and novel combinations to further improve the treatment of patients with brain metastases. This article discusses reported and ongoing clinical trials assessing the safety and efficacy of targeted therapy during SRS.
Student Risk Screening Scale for Internalizing and Externalizing Behaviors: Preliminary Cut Scores to Support Data-Informed Decision Making
Authors: Lane Kathleen Lynne , Oakes Wendy Peia , Swogger Emily D. , Schatschneider Christopher , Menzies Holly Mariah , Sanchez Jeremy
Published: January 2016

We report findings of a convergent validity study examining the internalizing subscale (SRSS-15) of the newly adapted Student Risk Screening Scale for Internalizing and Externalizing (SRSS-IE12) with the internalizing subscale of the Teacher Report Form (TRF; Achenbach, 1991) conducted in 13 schools across three states with 195 kindergarten through fifth-grade elementary students. Results of logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics curves suggest the following cut scores for the SRSS-15: 0–1 low risk, 2–3 moderate risk, and 4–15 high risk for internalizing behavior patterns, relative to the internalizing subscale of the TRF subscale. Limitations and future directions are discussed, along with illustrations of how to use the SRSS-15 scores for decision making in a tiered system of supports.
Acceptability of Functional Behavioral Assessment Procedures to Special Educators and School Psychologists
Authors: O'neill Robert E. , Bundock Kaitlin , Kladis Kristin , Hawken Leanne S.
Published: January 2016

This survey study assessed the acceptability of a variety of functional behavioral assessment (FBA) procedures (i.e., functional assessment interviews, rating scales/questionnaires, systematic direct observations, functional analysis manipulations) to a national sample of 123 special educators and a state sample of 140 school psychologists. Results indicated that special educators and school psychologists reported generally positive perceptions regarding their willingness to participate in, the appropriateness of, the usefulness of, and the feasibility of the FBA procedures. Special educators were significantly more likely to endorse the use of systematic direct observation and functional analysis manipulation strategies than school psychologists, although no differences were found regarding the social desirability of FBA procedures for individuals exhibiting mild and severe problem behaviors. School psychologists were also more likely than special educators to express concerns about the amount of time that can be entailed in FBA procedures. We discuss implications for practice and future research.

Perspetivas e entendimentos dos praticantes portugueses de karaté sobre o conceito de Budô
Authors: Rosa Vitor Alberto
Published: January 2016

This article, which falls within the scope of the sociology of sport, aims to study the perspective and understanding of martial and combat sports practitioners, especially of karate, in Portugal, on the concept of “Budo”. For this study, we used an extensive methodology and applied various techniques of social research (semi-directive interview, questionnaire survey). The sample was composed of 244 advanced karateka (brown and black belt) at the national level. The results showed that karate practitioners conceive their practice as an expression of Budo, reproduced in a dominant way by teaching staff (trainers), through images, symbols and values. Karatekas gave special importance to the codes and standards of conduct associated with the ethical principles of Budô and the maintenance of the rites and symbols from the country of the Rising Sun. Karatekas who most valued Budo practiced the same karate style, therefore, the study may not be generalized to all practitioners of karate.
Earlier and more rapid ageing: Does nutrition contribute?
Authors: Salinari Giambattista , Santis Gustavo De
Published: January 2016

This paper estimated three parameters related to demographic ageing, i.e., the acce-leration in mortality rates as people get older. These parameters are: (i) the age when the process begins (onset), (ii) the rate of ageing in a (simple) Gompertz model and (iii) the rate of ageing in a (more elaborate) Gamma-Gompertz model. These three indicators were estimated on the basis of female cohorts born in seven European countries between 1890 and 1919. Our results indicated a progressively earlier onset and a steeper rise in the rate of ageing in recent cohorts, i.e., ageing seems to have accelerated over time. The reasons for these shifts are still unknown, but due to their similarity with the results of a vast body of experiments of calorie restriction on lab animals, we suggested here that the changed dietary regime of humans since the end of the 19th century may have played a part in the evolution of their mortality schedule.

Cuestión social, prácticas culturales y modelo asistencial en la modernidad liberal. Córdoba, Argentina, 1900-1930
Authors: Moreyra Beatriz I. , Moretti Nicolás Domingo
Published: January 2016

Esta contribución tiene por objetivo estudiar las prácticas y representaciones culturales articuladas por las elites asistenciales como estrategias tendentes a lograr un consenso activo acerca del modelo benéfico asistencial y como mecanismos de legitimación y reproducción de las relaciones de poder imperantes en Córdoba en la modernidad liberal. Este consenso es entendido como el ordenamiento de las distintas configuraciones mentales para la percepción de la protección social como una cultura asistencial que consideraba que la atención de la pobreza y de los marginales era competencia de la filantropía y la beneficencia con la ayuda subsidiaria del Estado.

 
Fiesta cívica y culto al “Padre de la Patria” en el estado revolucionario, 1910-1940
Authors: González Salinas Omar Fabián
Published: January 2016

El artículo analiza cómo desde la revolución armada de 1910 y durante la construcción del Estado revolucionario las distintas facciones y gobiernos recurrieron al festejo de la independencia y el culto por Miguel Hidalgo, “Padre de la Patria”, como elementos empleados para justificar sus aspiraciones y acceso al poder político. Mostraré que las distintas características y procesos iniciados con la revolución determinaron las nuevas interpretaciones y usos de la historia nacional dirigidos a obtener una legitimidad política desde el ámbito simbólico para justificar la autoridad de los nuevos grupos de poder que ocuparon el lugar de la desplazada clase política porfiriana.

Methods of modeling the work process of hydrogen screw-centrifugal pumps using ANSYS CFD
Authors:   Samara State Aerospace University, Sulinov A. , Shabliy L. ,   Samara State Aerospace University, Zubanov V. ,   Samara State Aerospace University
Published: January 2016

Basic methods of modeling hydrodynamic processes in hydrogen screw-centrifugal pumps using the ANSYS CFD software are described in the paper, including those that take into account variable density of the fluid. Compressibility of liquid hydrogen caused by temperature and pressure changes, despite the alowances of average density, requires taking into account variable density for improved accuracy of modeling the workflow of hydrogen pumps. A technique of CFD-modeling of hydrogen pumps using special software tools to build the geometry and grid models of interblade channels is presented. Three methods for modeling variable-density fluid flows in ANSYS CFD are proposed. Regression models of the second and fourth orders have been obtained in the pressure range from 0.09 to 30 MPa and in the temperature range from 18 to 34 K to implement the method of setting variable density of liquid hydrogen in the form of functional relation.

The article presents a CFD-modeling technique of the kerosene pump work flow. Various methods of improving CFD models have been investigated in the course of work to improve the reliability of simulation results: the selection of the type of boundary conditions, the extension of inlet and outlet pump connections, the estimation of the influence of the grid size and turbulence models. The advantage of boundary conditions of the «Opening» type with the «Opening Pressure» subtype is revealed. Rational lengths of additional pipes for correct modeling are determined: ½ of the inlet diameter size at the inlet, 4 diameters of the outlet diameter at the outlet for rated operating conditions and 7 diameters for all other conditions. The best combination of turbulence model and mesh sizing have been identified: it is better to use the k-omega turbulence model for a fine grid with the size of the first element equal to 1 micron and the k-epsilon turbulence model for coarser grids. The convergence of solutions is evaluated by the changes of integral parameters of the pump from iteration to iteration. The amplitude of efficiency fluctuations in the process of calculation amounted to 1 % even in the case of the most accurate model. The model reliability is assessed by comparing the design characteristics obtained and the experimental data. The radial load on the impeller bearing is estimated by using the verified CFD model, which also showed qualitative agreement of the calculated and experimental data. Thus, the proposed modeling technique makes it possible to create adequate CFD pump models with the lowest computational costs. CFD-models developed according to the technique can be used for optimization studies of multistage screw centrifugal pumps.
