Behavior of Structural Concrete Frames with Hybrid Reinforcement under Cyclic Loading
Authors: Sobhy Asmaa , Aboul Nour Louay , Hassan Hilal , Elsisi Alaaeldin
Published: June 2021

A substantial amount of work was carried out on the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) in reinforcing concrete structural elements, which demonstrated considerable inelasticity or deformity through monotonous and fatigue loads. Even so, the action of FRP bars in FRP-RC columns and frame structures has not yet been studied during reversed cyclic loading. In this research, reversed cyclic loading was conducted on three beam-column joint models using the finite element method with ANSYS software. The first model was for a joint designed with steel rebar for both the longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups. Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar was used to reinforced the second joint model for both longitudinal reinforcement and steel stirrups, and the third joint model was designed with hybrid steel/GFRP reinforcement for the longitudinal reinforcement and steel stirrups. The performance of the three models under reversed cyclic loading, such as load vs. story drift and energy dissipation capacity, were compared. The GFRP-reinforced model displayed a predominantly elastic activity up to failure. Although its energy dissipation was weak, its performance in terms of total storey drift demand was satisfactory.
Preliminary results on the effects of orthopedic implant stiffness fixed to the cut end of the femur on the stress at the stump-prosthetic interface

Published: June 2021

A lot of trans-femoral amputation patients experience skin breakdown due to the pressures and shear stresses in the stump-prosthesis interface. In this study, a finite element model was employed to investigate the stresses at the stump interface in the case of an orthopedic implant fixed to the cut end of the femur. By changing the stiffness of this implant, we aim to see how the stiffness of this implant affects the stresses in the interface between the amputated limb and the prosthesis. To find out the effects of implant stiffness, five values for the elastic modulus, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 Mpa, with an interval of 0.1 Mpa were employed in the implant structure of the FE model. Obtained results show that the implant played important role in reducing the stresses at the stump-prosthesis interface where the contact pressure did not exceed 53 Kpa and 17.3 Kpa for shear stress in the stiffer case of an implant, while the contact pressure in the case of femur without implant exceeded 79Kpa and 42 Kpa for shear stress. We also noted that the intensity of the contact pressure and the shear stress is proportional to the stiffness of the implant, as the greater the implant stiffness, the higher the peak of these stresses.
Effect of nano-clay addition and heat-treatment on tensile and stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue behaviors of aluminum-silicon alloy: Effect of nano-clay addition and heat-treatment
Authors: Azadi Mohammad , Basiri Adel , Dadashi Ali , Winter G. , Seisenbacher B. , Grün F.
Published: June 2021

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue behavior of piston aluminum-silicon (AlSi) alloy reinforced with nano-clay particles and T6 heat-treatment. The piston aluminum-silicon alloy strengthened by 1 wt.% nano-clay particles were prepared by the stir casting method and then subjected to the heat-treatment. The optical microscopy analysis demonstrates that heat-treatment changed the size, morphology, and distribution of silicon phases through the microstructure of the aluminum matrix. In addition to tensile tests, stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue experiments at different loading conditions including the variation of the mean stress, the stress rate, and the stress amplitude were conducted at room temperature. The obtained experimental results showed no clear improvement in either mechanical or fatigue properties of the material. Moreover, the density measurements using the Archimedes method reveal a higher content of the porosity in nano-composite. It was observed that the reinforcement (nano-particles and heat-treatment) can change the cyclic behavior of the AlSi alloy, significantly. The cyclic hardening feature of the AlSi alloy changed to cyclic softening and also the fatigue lifetime and the ratcheting resistance decreased after the nano-particles addition and heat-treatment. Through the microstructural analysis, it was indicated that the neglecting of higher kinematics of age hardening in nano-composite was the major source of mechanical properties reduction. In the end, it was shown that the fatigue lifetime of samples can be described adequately utilizing a modified plastic strain energy technique considering the mean stress effect.

The change in the nature of armed conflicts forced a change in the way they were conducted and the need to develop new types of weapons. The article presents the basic assumptions regarding the use and development prospects of unmanned flying systems. Tactical and technical data of the leading structures are presented. At the same time, the directions of development and use of combat air systems in future armed conflicts were presented. It was pointed out that unmanned aerial systems, the use of which brings significant financial benefits, are the type of weapon that has recently been gaining in importance in the most spectacular way, transforming the face of armed conflicts. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles as part of training tasks and combat missions forces the continuous development of personnel in the field of skills related to hazard identification and assessment. This process requires professionals with a high level of substantive preparation and extensive aviation experience, who will increase the awareness of RPA operators in terms of the essence and the need to analyze and estimate risk. On the basis of analyzes and comparisons, the authors proposed that the development work and the construction of elements and the system (CUAS) to combat UAV become an opportunity for the development of national research institutes and the defense industry, and also Polish export product.

Objectives: The present study aimed to review the effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the elderly. In this study, we reviewed topics, such as the causes of COVID-19severity in the elderly; the psychological problems of the elderly; the relationship between comorbidities and COVID-19 severity, and the comparison of COVID-19 with other pandemics. Methods & Materials: This systematic review study was conducted in 2020 by searching in international Internet search databases. Boolean Operator (AND, OR) was used for a combined search without a time limit. The search strategy was limited to Persian and English articles using the following keywords: “older adults, COVID-19, psychological problems, social isolation, elderly abuse, ageism”. Finally, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, the remaining 58 studies were included in the study. Results: The results of the studies were extracted and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the elderly were examined in 8 parts, as follows: Why COVID-19 is more common in the elderly and has more complications; what are the mortality and complications of COVID-19 in the elderly; COVID-19 and underlying diseases; psychological problems caused by COVID-19 in the elderly; COVID-19 and abuse in the elderly; COVID-19and ageism in the elderly; the comparison of COVID-19 with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and influenza epidemics in the elderly, and care for the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic poses serious challenges for the elderly globally. To address these challenges, everyone must work, from government officials to individuals and families. Governments should enact laws that minimize the potential age-related abuse and discrimination and provide equal opportunities for all society members, regardless of age or gender. Families should also be aware of the increasing social isolation of the elderly and keep in touch with them.

Published: June 2021

Introduction. Automotive radars are the main tools for providing traffic safety. The development of such radars involve a number of technical difficulties due to the manufacture of high-precision extremely high-frequency (EHF) printed circuit boards. To facilitate the process of creating such devices, the existing algorithms for radar information processing should be debugged using prototypes from manufacturers of mm-band transceivers. However, the parameters of such boards are not known in advance, and the actual operating conditions of the as-produced automotive radars raise new challenges to target tracking algorithms. Therefore, checking the performance of such boards is a relevant research problem.Aim. To evaluate the performance of a millimeter-wave automotive radar prototype and to test target tracking algorithms using this prototype.Materials and methods. An original target tracking method was used, which considers the constraints on the use of additional data sources about the radar carrier movement.Results. An experimental performance evaluation of a 77 GHz automotive radar prototype was carried out. The effectiveness of primary processing for the target class “vehicle” in the millimetre range was checked. Original algorithms for target tracking were proposed and tested.Conclusion. The obtained results show that the prototype board of a transceiver chip is capable of testing tracking algorithms without creating an own automotive radar prototype. Thus, the developmental process can be significantly shortened. Moreover, after creating a hardware solution, the developer obtains a reference device to test and configure an own product without using extremely expensive and rare EHF equipment.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of this research is to describe   the differences between the pattern of educational communication in the Village Unit Cooperatives (KUDs) and that in the Traditional Iskamic Boarding School Cooperatives (Kopontrens) in West Java Province, Indonesia.  The research was carried out with   qualitative approach on 12 KUDs and 12 Kopontrrens in West Java Province, Indonesia.   The idea of research was based on the International and Indonesian Cooperative Principles which obliges the cooperatives to arrange cooperative education program for the cooperative’s members and based on the facts of cultural background differences between KUDs and Kopontrens.   The result of the research indicated that  educational communication in the Kopontrens is stronger than that in the KUDs because the process of educational communication process in the Kopontrens has become a standardized educational program, so that the elements of communication process consisting of “who says what to whom in which channel,  in what effect and environtment”  has become a package of the educational communication    curriculum in Kopontrens. This could explain why  the members’ participation in the Kopontrens is better than that in the KUDs. This result of the study could give social and policy implication for developing method of members educatin  in the KUDs in Indonesia.
Diversity without Race
Authors: Buckner Elizabeth , Lumb Punita , Jafarova Zahra , Kang Phoebe , Marroquin Adriana , Zhang You
Published: June 2021

This article examines how a sample of 62 higher education institutions in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom discuss international students in their official institutionalization strategies, focusing on how ideas of race and diversity are addressed. We find that institutional strategies connect international students to an abstract notion of diversity, using visual images to portray campus environments as inclusive of racial, ethnic and religious diversity. Yet, strategy documents rarely discuss race, racialization, or racism explicitly, despite the fact that most international students in all three countries are non-white. Moreover, racial injustice is externalized as a global issue and racial diversity is instrumentalized as a source of improving institutional reputation or diversity metrics. We argue that a first step to creating more inclusive and anti-racist campuses is to acknowledge international students’ racial identities and experiences with racism in official discourses and strategies.
Concepts of Belarusian History. II. "Russian World", "Litvinism", "Belarusian Civilization"
Authors: KRUTIKOV Anton
Published: June 2021

At the turn of the 1990s, Belarus received a unique chance to revive Western-Russianism as a new national idea based on the centuries-old cultural affinity of the three fraternal Slavic peoples. However, rapid changes in the historical policy of the Belarusian leadership resulted in the diffusion of nationalist concepts of the past into historical science and official rhetoric. President Lukashenko's theses about the "Belarusian civilization" were quickly reflected in “official” Belarusian historiography. The symbols of the modern Belarusian protest movement - T. Kostiushko and K. Kalinowsky were introduced into the public consciousness not by external forces, but by Belarusian textbooks.
A Influência Do Cuidador No Tratamento A Partir Do Uso da Cannabis Sativa Em Idosos Portadores da Doença de Alzheimer
Authors: Martins Maria Jandira de Bengozi Nava , Araújo Jéssica de , Pissardini Paulo Eduardo
Published: June 2021

Contextualização: Questões como preconceito, falta de estudos comprovando eficácia e busca por melhor qualidade de vida norteiam o campo dos pacientes que fazem uso de fitoterápicos à base de Cannabis. Problematização: Este trabalho discute o papel do cuidador de idosos como potencializador dos efeitos do tratamento com Cannabis Sativa, propondo um modelo conceitual que representa o impacto da variável cuidador na potencialização do tratamento à base de Cannabinoide. Aspectos Metodológicos: Para a efetivação desta proposta, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica com o propósito de identificar resultados de pesquisas envolvendo cannabis e idosos e as atividades dos cuidadores com potencial de impactar o tratamento. Resultados: Os resultados deste estudo apontam para a falta de pesquisas envolvendo a variável cuidador como fator potencializador de tratamentos à base de Cannabinoides. Dois pontos que se apresentam frágeis neste trabalho é o fato de o mesmo não considerar outras doenças neurodegenerativas e a escassez tanto de estudos quanto das condições sob as quais cada estudo analisado foi realizado, gerando divergência de resultados entre pesquisas que consideravam variáveis similares, dificultando a interpretação dos mesmos. Conclusões: Conclui-se que o cuidador se configura como elo fundamental na potencialização do tratamento e melhora cognitiva do paciente. Os achados contribuíram para suprir o gap existente entre teoria e prática da gerontologia, diminuindo limitações teóricas dos trabalhos que avaliam o uso de cannabinoide na melhora da performance cognitiva do idoso através da inclusão da variável cuidador.

Cualificación y sometimiento ideológico para el cambio social
Authors: Buatu Batubenge Omer
Published: June 2021

Con motivo del bicentenario del nacimiento de Karl Marx, el presente trabajo medita la importancia de la ideología para el cambio social en sociedades donde experimentamos los desafíos de la discriminación, de la aniquilación de las libertades civiles, de la violencia, así como de la construcción de sistemas políticos comprometidos con la convivencia pacífica. Partimos de la idea de que la ideología, ya sea como falsa conciencia o cosmovisión, es una brújula orientadora y constitutiva del cambio social. Realiza esta función transformando las personas de comunidades diferentes en sujetos hacedores de su propia historia. Tal conversión opera en un proceso dialéctico de formación en el que una persona se vuelve consciente de sus cualidades y habilidades para actuar y escribir su historia; al mismo tiempo, ya devenido consciente y reflexivo, por lo tanto, sujeto, éste actúa obedeciendo a la institución que lo reconoció como agente y en función de los objetivos que yacen en la nueva visión del mundo. Tal es el sentido del título Cualificación y sometimiento ideológico para el cambio social

La clonación: más allá de sí mismo (ensayo)
Authors: Pérez Álvarez Alan Omar
Published: June 2021

En este ensayo se analiza el afán de inmortalidad del ser humano, no en cuanto que una característica fundamental de nuestra existencia como especie, sino en tanto que un rasgo propio del ser occidental; el cual experimenta el vínculo que el ser establece con la nada como una necesidad que sólo es superable a través de la relación dialéctica saber/poder. Sin embargo, este afán de lo finito por la infinitud no es más que una expresión de la falsa identidad que existe entre lo universal y lo particular en cuanto que la angustia del ser occidental por su propia muerte lo ha impulsado a sojuzgar, dominar y explotar a otros seres e, incluso, a la vida misma. Un caso ejemplar de lo anterior es la clonación: último reducto de esperanza para la egología occidental.

Published: June 2021

Ascertaining an optimal cement distribution plan for cement companies in Nigeria has remained a challenge. The absence or fluctuation of data for estimating the cost of transporting cement from each source to each distribution center is a big stumbling block whenever modeling attempts are being made via transportation algorithms. This work has succeeded in removing these challenges by providing a Transportation Optimization Model for cement distribution using transportation Distance Matrix instead of transportation Cost Matrix. This research seeks to improve supply in the Nigerian cement industry. Three selected factories (Gboko, Port-Harcourt and Calabar) and four major distribution centers (Abakaliki, Onueke, Ohaozara and Afikpo) in Ebonyi state were considered for this work. The result of the findings using the Vogel Approximation Method, minimized the total transportation distance and by implication the total transportation costs.

The research discussed The Foundations of Reality Jurisprudence and the beginning of legalizing of the financial contribution between spouses, and family problems foreseen in the application of the Law on Financial Participation between Spouses.

Research has found the inviolability of legalizing financial participation between spouses for the following reasons:

- The breakdown of the family and the marital relationship due to this partnership because the nature of the marriage contract differs from the nature of the company's contract of affection and compassion, donation In The marriage and demand financial benefit through accounting and supervision in the company's contract .

- Reluctance to marry and demand the right of the body away through the marriage to escape the effects of this partnership, as is the case in the Western country, or the choice of the husband is based on the amount of wealth one of them has, making the marriage based on Financial ambitions.

- Disputes, lawsuits and financial judicial charges expected upon divorce, as is the case in the country where this law is applied.

- Injustice between spouses occurs if one of the spouses is the principal component of the wealth by means of his or her work and effort, if the husband loses his or her work or reduces his or her income, he or she will automatically turn into the property of his wife in personal spending because It has become a common money.

-The poor educational impact on children because marriage turned into an attempt to gain wealth and reduce material loss between spouses..

- The partnership contract involves a lot of unknown  money earned between spouses throughout their lives. The future income of both spouses throughout their life is known only to God, And Islamic law has prohibited the contract on the unknown.

- Violation of the  inheritance regime in the Islamic Sharia because both the wife and the husband are entitled to one half of each other's estate in all circumstances, which will also result in an imbalance and change in the amount of inheritance established by the Islamic sharia for the children and relatives.

Abstract in Arabic:
إن نسب ولد اللّعان وميراثه من أبيه الذي نفاه ولاعن على نفيه، يعدّ من المسائل التي لها اعتبارها في الشّريعة والقانون، وذلك لتعدّي الأثر المترتّب على نفي نسبه من أبيه، إلى حرمانه من الميراث من هذا الأب وأسرته، وقد أقرّت بعض المحاكم تحليل البصمة الوراثية عند نفي نسب الولد، وهنا تكمن مشكلة البحث، وذلك فيما إذا نفى الأب الابن وأقرّت نسبه  البصمة الوراثية. هدفت هذه الدّراسة إلى التّعريف بولد اللّعان من النّاحية الشّرعية والقانونية، ثم بأهمية تحليل البصمة  الوراثية كدليل يعمل به عند تضارب الأقوال بين الزّوج والزّوجة، وقد اعتمدت الدّراسة في هذا البحث على المنهج الاستقرائي وذلك من خلال تتبّع آراء الفقهاء وأدلتهم، والنّظر في سبب الخلاف بينهم، كما اعتمدت على المنهج التّحليلي المقارن في مناقشة آراء الفقهاء وأدلتهم وتحليلها، مع مقارنة هذه الأحكام بما يجري عليه العمل في القانون الماليزي، وقد خلصت هذا الدّراسة إلى نتائج مهمّة منها: أن الولد يبقى على نسب أبيه ما لم ينفه ويلاعن عليه، وأنّ فصل القول عند نفي نسب الولد أو إثباته يرجع إلى تحليل البصمة الوراثية، وأن ولد اللّعان لا ينتفي نسبه وميراثه إلا إذا وافق تحليل البصمة الوراثية قول الزّوج الملاعن. 
 
Abstract in English:
The lineage of al-li`an child and his inheritance from his father, who denied him and performed oath of condemnation (al-mula’anah) is considered one of the crucial issues in the Sharia and the law. This is because of the serious effects of denying his lineage from his father, which leads to depriving the child of the inheritance of the father and his family. Some courts accepted the analysis of the DNA when denying the child's lineage. Based on this fact, the issue has raised, especially when there is a conflict between the father’s denial of his son and the court’s finding based on DNA result. Which one is to be accepted if the father denied while the court confirmed his child’s lineage? This study aimed at introducing al-li`an child from Sharia and legal points of view, and the importance of analyzing the genetic footprint (DNA) as a guide to be used when there is a conflict between husband and wife in their opinions. The research methods used in this study are the inductive approach by tracking the views and evidence of the Islamic jurists and examining the reasons for the disagreement among them. In comparison, the analytical and comparative methods are used to discuss and analyze the opinions of the jurists and their evidence and compare these provisions with what is being practiced in Malaysian law.  This study has reached some important results among others: the child of al-li`an remains a legitimate child as long as the father did not deny his lineage. The final decision on denying or confirming child’s lineage is based on the analysis of the genetic fingerprint (DNA result). Therefore, the lineage of al-li’an child and his inheritance right remains valid or undeniable unless the analysis result of the genetic fingerprint conforms with the statement of the father who denied his child lineage through al-li`an (oath of condemnation).
The Benefits and Limitations of an Online Qualitative Tracer Study

Published: June 2021

A qualitative tracer study of USIM medical graduates’ performance in the workplace was conducted by performing face-to-face and focus group interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of the current curriculum. This paper discusses the challenges during the data collection stage and the needs to improve data collection strategies in response to the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) by the Malaysian Government. It will also analyse the benefits and limitations when adjusting the data collection strategies. In the beginning, data collection was administered via face-to-face (individual) and focus group interviews. When the MCO was enforced, the interviews were shifted to online methodology. This online adaptation provided the convenience of scheduling interviews and also comfort to the graduates to participate in their homes that normally had better internet access than in the hospitals. The risk of exposure to COVID-19 through face-to-face interactions was therefore reduced. Although the usage of Microsoft Teams was conducive to online recording, some graduates were not able to access the application during their scheduled interviews. As such, Google Meet was employed instead, and the interviews were recorded by using a voice recorder. Besides, the saving in travelling costs for data collection was significant as the extra budget could be allocated for other research expenditure. In this study, Microsoft Teams licence was provided by the university and Google Meet was free of charge. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented an opportunity for the adoption of an online data collection method that was not reckoned with at the beginning of this study. Online data collection can therefore be considered for both qualitative and quantitative studies in the future.

Iran's Use of Afghan Shiite Migrants as Proxies: The Case of Liwa Fatemiyoun
Authors: KARATAŞ İbrahim
Published: June 2021

This study analyzes how migrants are militarized through analyzing an Iranian proxy, namely Liwa Fatemiyoun, as a case study. Liwa Fatemiyoun is a proxy group formed from migrants of the Shiite ethnic group of Afghan Hazaras by Iran. Shiite Hazaras immigrated to Iran due to ongoing civil wars in Afghanistan to find a safe haven. Numbering more than two million and crossing the borders illegally, Hazaras were recruited by the Iranian army either voluntarily or for a certain amount of money or by force. They were sent to Syria to protect holy shrines, but most of them found themselves in fronts. By analyzing the proxy group's formation, this study concludes that Iranian regime guards (IRGC) mostly conscript Afghan migrants and refugees to Liwa Fatemiyoun forcibly thereby exploiting their vulnerability and human rights. Besides, by referring to past experiences, the study asserts that Iran may also move the proxy group to Afghanistan if necessary after US troops' withdrawal. This study mainly wielded news, including those in Persian and institutional reports, and made interviews for its analysis. By examining Liwa Fatemiyoun, the study is expected to contribute to ethnoreligious migration literature from a security perspective.
EXAMINATION OF ETHICAL PROCUREMENT THROUGH ENTERPRISE EXAMPLES

Today’s business world is affected by the 21st century’s processes, like globalization, fluent online attendance, digitalization and their direct consequence depersonalisation. The authors are motivated by these facts and want to vivify the „old fashioned” correct business models and find the indispensable parameter of the well-functioning economy, in one word today’s equivalent of „honorable gentlemen”. The assumed key to success could be useful for the for-profit sector because not only profit can be the impelling in the professional life of a corporation. The human value added is one of the most important keystones of thrift. The aim to establish a balance between economic and ethical behaviour of corporations has been enounced serving the interest of all participants, consumers, corporations and society. The before natural thought values seem nowadays to turn into something different or to be neglected. As a consequence the question has been raised, if society has the force to establish and improve Ethics, will it be able to destroy it as well?! The main focus of the research is therefore the mapping of criteria and marks which belong to on the competitive market successful enterprises whose procurement decisions are ethical as well. These marks can be formal or informal. The results of the research show well that there are parameters of a company, for example, a code of conduct within guidelines concerning the procurement or procedure manuals in which also ethical issues appear in a formal way. From another point of view there are informal signs like customs arising from the corporate culture, daily routine or just human behaviour and convincement of the management and procurement employees that also support the ethical performance of the company. The results of the research can serve as best practice for the other enterprises too in their daily appearance on the market. Particularly in that area the company’s most important goal is “gaining profit” which can have next to itself another value added the “fair work”. Its role is to lead the attention to the statement that next to fair working on the market profit can be produced as well. The researchers consider it important that the companies who have already kept in mind the ethical procurement could gain a feedback, an inspiration or even new ideas to follow their work. Key words: business ethics, procurement issues, corporation’s behaviour, sustainable procurement.

Enhancers are regulatory regions of DNA, which play a key role in cell-type specific differentiation and development. Most active enhancers are transcribed into enhancer RNA (eRNA) that can regulate transcription of target genes by means of in cis as well as in trans action. eRNA stabilize contacts between distal genomic regions and mediate the interaction of DNA with master transcription factors. Here, we characterized an enhancer eRNA, GECPAR (germinal center proliferative adapter RNA), which is specifically transcribed in normal and neoplastic germinal center B cells from the super-enhancer of POU2AF1, a key regulatory gene of the germinal center reaction. Using diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line models, we demonstrated the tumor suppressor activity of GECPAR, which is mediated via its transcriptional regulation of proliferation and differentiation genes, particularly MYC and the Wnt pathway.

Purpose. To develop a method for synthesizing a fuzzy automatic control system for a shearer drum in terms of coal seam hypsometry basing on the information criterion of the beginning of rock cutting-off by the drum to reduce ash content of the extracted coal. Methodology. Taking into consideration peculiarities of determining a distinct information criterion of the beginning of rock cutting-off by the drum and regularities of its variations during the shearer operation, a fuzzy inference algorithm is developed for a system of fuzzy automatic drum control in terms of seam hypsometry. In this context, rules of fuzzy productions, parameters of the membership functions of terms of the output linguistic variable system, and fuzzy operations are substantiated according to the recommendations of a classic Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithm. Studies are carried out to analyze the efficiency of the proposed fuzzy inference algorithm basing on the introduced relative parameter of the number of effective control actions formed by the fuzzy control system. Simulation modeling makes it possible to perform comparative analysis of the efficiency of the drum control. Findings. In the course of research, an algorithm of fuzzy control of the shearers upper drum in terms of coal seam hypsometry has been developed basing on the determination of direct and inverse transfer from coal breaking near the seam roof by the shearer drum to rock breaking with the help of statistical analysis of the stator power of a cutting drive motor. Originality. For the first time, a method of synthesis of fuzzy automatic control of the drum in terms of seam hypsometry has been proposed. Practical value. The proposed method is the theoretical basis to solve important scientific and applied problem of the automation of the coal shearer drum in terms of seam hypsometry to reduce ash content of the produced coal.

Purpose. Establishing the dependences and determining rational parameters of the process of drying fine materials by direct influence of an electric current. Methodology. In the work, theoretical, analytical, empirical, and experimental methods as well as methods of mathematical statistics are used. Mathematical modeling of the process occurring during drying of finely dispersed materials by direct influence of alternating current is carried out. Findings. As a result of the research on the basis of physical representations of the process of drying capillary-porous material, a mathematical model is designed connecting temperature and moisture content in a plate from capillary-porous material by means of equations of mathematical physics. Originality. For the first time dependence has been obtained on the temperature and moisture content of the time and spatial coordinates of drying by passing an electric current through the layer of moist capillary-porous material, a feature which is both simultaneous accounting of thermal and diffusion processes in the material that can increase the accuracy of calculations and establish rational parameters of drying. Practical value. The obtained dependences are used when developing calculation methods and designing an industrial drying plant.
