Verification of Over-Speed and Burst Margin Limits in Aero Engine Disc along with Low Cycle Fatigue Life
Authors: P. Harinath S. , GV Sharath Chandra , M. Shreyas P. , Gowda Kumar K.
Published: March 2018

Aero engine rotor burst evaluation is one of the most important problems to be taken care off, whenever it comes to
designing a turbo machinery disc. The consequences of a failure can be intense, since the disc fragments into multiple
pieces and they are hurled away in all the possible direction at high speeds. Due to high thermo-mechanical loading
conditions the disc is subjected to varying degrees of temperature from bore to rim. However, the centrifugal force
dominates in the disc which ranges from 80%-90% and the rest can be treated as thermal and gas loads. The
challenge lies at designing a disc for off-design conditions with their varying loads and duty cycles. In present work
evaluation of safety limits and low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life estimation of an aero engine disc through classical
methods and blending the terminologies with simulation engineering to arrive at a probable interpretation of
number of duty cycles is carried out. The methodology compares the fatigue parameters involved in evaluation of disc
life at off-design condition through sensitivity analysis. The design tool closely connects the flight certification FAA
and EASA the regulating agencies for safety in air transportation vehicles. The off-design speed regulations through
API and MIL handbook for material specification are considered to carry out design of experiments using finite
element analysis approach

Authors: Ihza Yusril
Published: March 2018

Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi impor daging sapi di Indonesia. variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Harga Daging Sapi Internasional, Kurs, GDP Per Kapita dan impor daging sapi. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data tahunan deret waktu dari tahun 1989 sampai dengan 2015 yang dari Kemendag, International Financial Statistik, Worldbank. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Error Correction Model (ECM) Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, dalam jangka panjang harga daging sapi internasional berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap impor daging sapi. Harga daging sapi internasional yang lebih murah daripada harga daging sapi domestik mengakibatkan konsumen lebih memilih daging sapi internasional yang telah di impor ke dalam negeri, hal tersebut mengakibatkan produk lokal tidak bisa bersaing dengan produk impor dan pasar dalam negeri dikuasai oleh negara lain. Dengan kondisi tersebut, maka saran yang diberikan oleh peneliti yaitu Pemerintah harus bersunguh-sungguh dalam memberikan kebijakan program swasembada daging sapi dan subsidi kepada peternak sapi potong di Indonesia yang selama ini belum mencapai target, sehingga pasar dalam negeri tidak dibanjiri oleh produk luar negeri dengan begitu produk dalam negeri dapat bersaing dengan produk luar negeri.

The study aims to analyze and findsout the factors that affect the import of beef in Indonesia. The variables used in this study are International Beef Prices, Exchange Rates, GDP Per Capita, and beef imports. The data used in this study is the annual time series data from 1989 to 2015 from the Ministry of Trade, International Financial Statistics, Worldbank. The method used in this research is Error Correction Model (ECM).The results show that, in long term international beef price have negative and significant effect to beef import.  Cheaper international beef prices than domestic beef prices result in consumers preferring imported international beef, which results in local products being unable to compete with imported products and domestic markets controlled by other countries. Under these conditions, the suggestion given by researcher is the government must be serious in giving the policy of self-sufficiency program of beef and subsidy to beef cattle farmers in Indonesia which has not reached the target, so that the domestic market is not flooded by foreign products so domestic products can compete with the product overseas.

Authors: Higashikubo Ichiro , Arito Heihachiro , Ando Kenji , Araki Akihiro , Shimizu Hidesuke , Sakurai Haruhiko
Published: March 2018

Objectives

This study aimed to assess workers’ exposure to indium and its compounds in 55 indium-handling operations among 13 Japanese plants. The surveyed plants were selected from indium-manufacturing plants whose annual indium production exceeded 500 kg.

Methods

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Essentials control banding toolkit, which contains simple scales for hazard levels, quantities in daily use, and “dustiness” characteristics, was used to assess generic risks of indium-handling operations. The operations were then classified into one of four Control Approaches (CAs).

Results

There were 35 indium-handling operations classified into CA4 (requires expert advice) and 16 grouped into CA3 (requires containment) . There were three operations classified into CA2 (requires engineering controls) and only one into CA1 (requires good general ventilation (GV) and working practices). Of the 51 operations classified as CA4 and CA3, 36 were found to be improperly equipped with local exhaust ventilation, and the remaining 15 operations solely relied on GV practices. Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) used in the 13 indium plants was examined with reference to the recommendations of the COSHH Essentials and Japan’s Technical Guidelines.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that stringent engineering control measures and respiratory protection from indium dust are needed to improve indium-handling operations. Our results show that the most common control approach for Japanese indium-handling operations is to require expert advice, including worker health checks for respiratory diseases and exposure measurement by air sampling.

Published: March 2018

Carotenoids having primary significance for animal husbandry, medicine and food industry are objects of studies to optimize their production conditions and to establish their complex role in living systems. Synthesis of carotenoids by microorganisms is preferential for industrial use due to their natural origin and possibility of combining production with waste disposal. Native microbial strains are the basis for selecting superproducers of organic pigments. In this study, the red yeasts of Rhodotorula genus were incubated in beer wort medium at initial cultural parameters (sugar concentration 6 degrees Balling, temperature 26°C, stirring rate 200 rpm, 4 days of fermentation). Analysis of biomass and carotenoid production by Rhodotorula yeast was performed under defined conditions. Two strains of R. glutinis BIM Y-253 and BIM Y-158 synthesizing over 100 µg carotenoids per 1 g biomass, the mark corresponding to the average level of production, were selected. The concentration of carotenoids generated by strain R. glutinis BIM Y-253 in the nutrient medium exceeded 1 mg / l. Screening of red yeast for the types of synthesized carotenoids showed predominance of torulene- and torularhodin-like compounds in isolated total pigment fractions. At the following experimental stage the effect of organic supplements on production of biomass and carotenoids by the selected strain R. glutinis BIM Y-253 was studied. Yeast incubation with 0.05% malic acid – the substrate for final reaction of TCA cycle, and fine grinding of biomass resulted in average carotenoid yield 3,5 mg/l. Our findings demonstrate the potential carotenoid productivity of red yeast at the initial values of incubation parameters, and illustrate the impact of organic compounds on biosynthetic efficiency of native yeast culture.

Authors: Sivakova Biljana , Blazhekovikj - Dimovska Dijana
Published: March 2018

The objective of this study was to make a comparative analysis of the fatty acid composition of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) with consumption size of 250-300 g, from two different aquaculture facilities - coldwater fishponds (fishpond A and fishpond B) in Macedonia, at different ambient conditions in the aquatic environment, and with the use of pelleted food from different manufacturers.
Considering the results of the fatty acid composition of the rainbow trout from the fishpond A and the fishpond B, it can be concluded that the content of the saturated fatty acids (SFA) is higher in the fishpond B (20.303%) compared to the fishpond A (16.155%), while the content of the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is greater in the fishpond A (MUFA - 53.364%; PUFA - 30.435%) compared to the fishpond B (MUFA - 52.359%; PUFA - 27.268%).
Overall, by a comparative analysis of the qualitative properties of the rainbow trout from the both aquaculture facilities, the ambient conditions prevailing in the aquatic environment, and the used forage mixtures for feeding fish, it can be concluded that the both aquaculture facilities are producing fish with high nutritional quality in terms of the fatty acid composition.
IDENTIFICATION OF YEAST ISOLATED FROM LABORATORY SOURDOUGHS PREPARED WITH GRAPE, APPLE, AND YOGURT
Authors: Gordún Elena , Puig Anna , Piñol Lola , Carbó Rosa
Published: March 2018

Yeast strains collected from three spontaneous laboratory sourdoughs, prepared over 10 days and using a traditional Spanish protocol, and formulated with (non-essential) different ingredients were identified and described. In addition to wheat flour (Triticum aestivum) and water, organic apples (5 days juice fermented at 40°C), or plain yogurt, or organic white grapes (2 days must fermented at 20°C) were used at the beginning of each sourdough production.
One-hundred-eighteen yeast colonies were collected from the different phases of sourdoughs (ingredients preparation, pre-sourdough, and ripe sourdough propagation) using WL agar and Lysine agar media. Yeast isolates were clustered into 8 groups using PCR-RFLP analysis of the 5.8S-ITS rRNA region. One strain of each group was chosen for sequencing to confirm yeast identification at species level. The specifically prepared fruit ingredients, apple and grape, provided diversity of non-Saccharomyces yeast to the respective sourdoughs. The dominant species in the pre-sourdough phase were Meyerozyma guilliermondii for apple sourdough and Hanseniaspora uvarum for grape sourdough. For yogurt sourdough, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was already the dominant yeast in the pre-sourdough phase with a low proportion of Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Wickerhamomyces anomalus. In the three sourdoughs, regardless of the different ingredients used, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the dominant yeast in the ripe phase.

Published: March 2018

Bahasa Indonesia:

Pesantren telah dianggap sebagai model institusi pendidikan yang memiliki keunggulan baik dari aspek tradisi keilmuan dan internalisasi moralitas umat Islam. Saat ini, pesantren terus berbenah dan mempersolek diri. Di sisi lain, banyak pihak mengadopsi unsur positif dalam diri pesantren. Pesantren menumbuhkan apresiasi yang sepatutnya terhadap semua perkembangan yang terjadi di masa kini dan mendatang. Proses mengambil dan memberi secara sosiologis dan antropologis ini merupakan konstruksi sosialnya. Penelitian kepustakaan ini bertujuan untuk mendekripsikan dinamika pendidikan Islam, khususnya menyorot konstruksi sosial pesantren dalam pandangan Azyumardi Azra. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa pesantren sangat piawai berdialektika dengan tesis budaya yang saling bertentangan dan melahirkan sintesis konstruksi sosial baru. Pesantren juga merupakan institusi sosial yang paling kreatif dan inovatif Karena falsafahnya: al-muhafadhu ‘alal qadimis sholeh wal akhdu bil jadidil ashlah (memelihara tradisi lama yang baik dan mengambil tradisi baru yang lebih baik). Hal ini juga menghadirkan nilai-nilai agama sebagai bobot atas sejumlah karya pendidikan, ekonomi dan budaya pesantren.

English:

Pesantren is considered as a model of educational institution with added value from scholarly tradition aspects and the internalization of Islamic morality. Contemporarily, pesantren keeps improving and maintaining its internal body. On the other hand, outsiders start to adopt existing positive values of pesantren. Pesantren grows relevant appreciation towards development today and in the future. The taking and giving process here is sociologically-anthropologically a social construct. This library research aims to describe the dynamics in Islamic education, particularly focusing on pesantren social construct within Azyumardi Azra’s point of view. The result shows that pesantren is very adaptable towards “incompatible” culture to syntesize in new social constructs. Pesantren is also a type of creative and innovative social institution due to its philosophy: al-muhafadhu ‘alal qadimis shaleh wal akhdu bil jadidil ashlah (preserving good old tradition and adopting better new one).  This results in the presence of religious values as the added values in various field such as education, economy, and pesantren culture.

Kertas kerja ini memaparkan pendidikan multikultural dalam usahanya menanggulangi narasi Islamisme di Indonesia. Intisari dari pendidikan multikultural adalah sebuah ide dan gerakan pembaruan dalam proses pendidikan. Kemajemukan Indonesia adalah dua mata pisau yang memiliki sisi positif dan negatif. Dalam kemajemukan itu sendiri, keeratan afiliasi kelompok muncul bersamaan dengan potensi perpecahan dalam konteks situasi yang tak terkendali dengan baik. Oleh karenanya, pendidikan multikultural menawarkan demokrasi, kesetaraan, kemerdekaan, dan keberagaman dalam sebuah pendekatan. Dengan kedatangan pendidikan multikultural, ini diharapkan bahwa setiap lapisan masyarakat merasa dikenali, dihargai, diperlakukan secara demokratis dan pantas kendati berbagai perbedaan budaya. Sebagai hasilnya, mereka mendapatkan kesempatan yang sama dalam mencapai tujuan-tujuannya. Indikasi idealnya adalah adanya kemauan untuk menerima dan menghargai kelompok-kelompok lain dari etnik, gender, dan afiliasi keberagamaan dan budayanya. Dengan kata lain, pendidikan multicultural muncul sebagai pengikat, kepenghubungan, pengaman, dan penjamin terhadap keberlangsungan kemajemukan. Ajuan pendidikan multikultural ini muncul untuk mengangulangi narasi Islamisme di Indonesia yang muncul sebagai akibat dari ketika Islam berhadapan dengan modernitas yang identik dengan Barat.

 

English:

This paper presents multicultural education in tackling Islamism narration in Indonesia. The heart of multicultural education is the idea and renewal movement in educational process. Indonesian diversity is like a double-edged knife, which involves both positives and negatives. In the diversity itself, strong group affilition emerged as well as potential of disunity appears in the context of unwell-managed circumstances. Hence, multicultural education offers democracy, equality, freedom, and pluralism in a single approach. With the advent of multicultural education, it is hoped that all levels of society will feel recognized, appreciated, democratically and equitably treated despite cultural differences. As a result, they have equal opportunity to achieve their goals. The ideal indication shows the willingness to accept and appreciate other groups of different ethnics, gender, and religious affilition and cultures. In other words, multicultural education exists as a binder, liaison, safety, and assurance of sustainability diversity. This multicultural education proposal emerged in order to overcome the narration of Islamism, which born as encounter efforts between Islam vis-à-vis the modernity associated with the west.

It is then, accordingly, compared with the current phase of the MyCiTi BRT network in the City of Cape Town, South Africa. The results indicate that the designed network performs better in terms of network utilisation and other operational parameters. It is hoped that this research will add value to the design and implementation of bus networks in Cape Town, together with their operation.
An empirical preliminary prediction of heave
Authors: Jones G
Published: March 2018

The method described in the paper titled "Prediction of heave from the plasticity index and percentage clay fraction of soils" by Van der Merwe (1964) has been in common use since then. It predicts the potential heave due to the moisture change from a relatively dry state to a near-saturated state under a covered area, i.e. a maximum state change. In reality this may not always be the case, and this Note proposes an adaptation to the method whereby the probable change in moisture content is utilised in the calculation. This is determined by the in-situ moisture and the estimated equilibrium moisture content (EMC) derived from the liquid limit.

Published: March 2018

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a central genome-wide method to characterize cellular identities and processes. Consequently, improving its sensitivity, flexibility and cost-efficiency can advance many research questions. Among the flexible plate-based methods, “Single-Cell RNA-Barcoding and Sequencing” (SCRB-seq) is one of the most sensitive and efficient ones. Here, we systematically evaluated experimental conditions of this protocol and find that adding polyethylene glycol considerably increases sensitivity by enhancing cDNA synthesis. Furthermore, using Terra polymerase increases efficiency due to a more even cDNA amplification that requires less sequencing of libraries. We combined these and other improvements to a new scRNA-seq library protocol we call “molecular crowding SCRB-seq” (mcSCRB-seq), which we show to be the most sensitive and one of the most efficient and flexible scRNA-seq methods to date.

Four Parameters for Measuring Democratic Deliberation: Theoretical and Methodological Challenges and How to Respond
Authors: Fleuß Dannica , Helbig Karoline , Schaal Gary S.
Published: March 2018

Although measuring democratic deliberation is necessary for a valid measurement of the performance of democracies, it poses serious theoretical and methodological challenges. The most serious problem in the context of research on democratic performance is the need for a theoretical and methodological approach for “upscaling” the measurement of deliberation from the micro and meso level to the macro level. The systemic approach offers a useful framework for this purpose. Building on this framework, this article offers a modular approach consisting of four parameters for conceptualization, measurement, and aggregation which can be adjusted to make the measurement of democratic deliberation compatible with the various general measurement approaches adopted by different scholars.
Making Trade-Offs Visible: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations about the Relationship between Dimensions and Institutions of Democracy and Empirical Findings
Authors: Lauth Hans-Joachim , Schlenkrich Oliver
Published: March 2018

Whereas the measurement of the quality of democracy focused on the rough differentiation of democracies and autocracies in the beginning (e.g. Vanhanen, Polity, Freedom House), the focal point of newer instruments is the assessment of the quality of established democracies. In this context, tensions resp. trade-offs between dimensions of democracy are discussed as well (e.g. Democracy Barometer, Varieties of Democracy). However, these approaches lack a systematic discussion of trade-offs and they are not able to show trade-offs empirically. We address this research desideratum in a three-step process: Firstly, we propose a new conceptual approach, which distinguishes between two different modes of relationships between dimensions: mutual reinforcing effects and a give-and-take relationship (trade-offs) between dimensions. By introducing our measurement tool, Democracy Matrix, we finally locate mutually reinforcing effects as well as trade-offs. Secondly, we provide a new methodological approach to measure trade-offs. While one measuring strategy captures the mutual reinforcing effects, the other strategy employs indicators, which serve to gauge trade-offs. Thirdly, we demonstrate empirical findings of our measurement drawing on the Varieties of Democracy dataset. Incorporating trade-offs into the measurement enables us to identify various profiles of democracy (libertarian, egalitarian and control-focused democracy) via the quality of its dimensions.

Napjaink felgyorsult világában számottevő igény jelentkezik megfelelő kikapcsolódási lehetőségeket nyújtó szolgáltatásokra: ezek színterei lehetnek az elmúlt években gyarapodó számú (helyi termelői) piacok, amelyek teret biztosíthatnak közösségi tevékenységeknek is. A Balaton kiemelt üdülőkörzet szerepét növeli turisztikai potenciálja, hisz a térség a rekreációs lehetőségek széles körét biztosítja.

A tanulmány célja a Balaton kiemelt üdülőkörzet piachelyein megjelenő személyek csoportjának vizsgálata, amelynek alapját egy 2016-ban végzett, közel egy éven át folytatott empirikus felmérés képezi. A szezonalitáshoz igazodva három alkalommal került sor komplex kérdőíves vizsgálatra a térség hét piachelyén, amely kitért – többek között – a helyszínnel, az áruk minőségi-mennyiségi jegyeivel, a szolgáltatások színvonalával való elégedettség értékelésére is.

Az elemzés faktor- és klaszteranalízis alkalmazásával folyt. A faktoranalízissel öt fogyasztói attitűdöt sikerült meghatározni. Az élmény-, választék-, minőség-, ár-, illetve termékorientáció alapján klaszteranalízissel négy vásárlói csoport azonosítására került sor. A kalandkeresők számára a piaci hangulat és a termék egyedi ismérvei jelentik a piachelyszínek felkeresésének motivációját. Az ároptimalizálóknál egyedül az ár-érték arány a meghatározó. A kínálat megszállottjainak az árucikkek megfelelő minősége, választéka és egyedisége együttes elvárást jelent. A klasszikus piacozók a hagyományos értékeket hangsúlyozzák (termékminőség, választék, ár, a helyi árusítók helyzetbe hozása).

A bemutatott vevői szempontok elősegíthetik a piachelyek fejlesztési irányainak kialakítását, a friss vagy egyedi termékek értékesítési láncainak újragondolását. A kapott megállapítások hasznosak lehetnek úgy a piachelyek és a térségi turizmus fejlesztésében érdekelteknek, mint a szakembereknek és a téma iránt érdeklődőknek.
Gonadotrophic pituitary incidentaloma as the cause premature ovarian insufficiency
Authors: Repina Margarita A.
Published: March 2018

Objective: evaluate clinical significance pituitary incidentalomas, apparently derived from gonadotropocytes.

Design: follow-up study. Patients. Three observations of pituitary microadenomas in patients whose cause for treatment was prolonged amenorrhea. Diagnosed uterine hypoplasia, decreased ovarian reserve, decreased bone mass. Patients combined expressed psycho-emotional symptoms (depression, neuroticism up to mental disorders in one case). The diagnosis of a gonadotrophic incidentaloma is suspected after exclusion of clinical and laboratory signs of prolactinoma, somatotrophic, corticotrophic and thyrotrophic adenoma.

Results. In two cases, the clinical picture of severe estrogenic failure was combined with high concentrations FSH, LH and low concentrations of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH). The increase in gonadotrophines, obviously, was both a reaction to a decreased production of estrogens, and the result of their hypersecretion by adenoma. In the observed cases there was no development of ovarian cysts, characteristic for patients with gonadotrophic adenomas, which can be explained by a reduced ovarian reserve. In the third case marked initially normal secretion of FSH and LH, not corresponding to a low concentration of sex steroids. Further there was a complete cessation of the secretion of FSH and LH with a simultaneous rapid decrease in the secretion of AMH. Given the small size of adenomas, in all cases selection of tactics for dynamic observation. All patients were prescribed hormone replacement therapy.

Conclusion. For patients with premature ovarian failure, it is advisable to carry out MRI with contrast enhancement to exclude pituitary adenoma.
Pathogenetic determinants of endometrial dysfunction in patients with myoma
Authors: Tolibova Gulrukhsor Kh.
Published: March 2018

Introduction. Among the patients with infertility associated with small forms of uterine fibroids (subserous and intra mural), there are a high incidence of inflammatory changes in the cervix, chronic salpingo-opharitis, hydrosalpinx, adhesive process in pelvic organs, chronic endocervicitis and endometrial dysfunction were identified more frequently.

The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical and morphological features of endometrial dysfunction in patients with infertility associated with uterine myoma. Material and methods. The study included 165 patients: 70 patients with primary infertility, 65 women with secondary infertility and 30 patients in the control group. All patients were examined and treated in The Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology named after D.O. Ott. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic examination followed by endometrial biopsy was performed on the 19-24th day of the menstrual cycle. Immunohistochemical method was used to study the expression of ER, PR receptors, proinflammatory markers (CD8+, CD20+, CD4+, CD138+), endothelial marker (CD34+) and p16ink4a oncoprotein expression. Estimation of ER and PR expression was carried out by semi-quantitative method of H-Score, other markers, by computer image analysis system “Morphology 5.0” (VideoTest, Russia). Statistical processing of the results was performed using statistical packages (Stata 13).

Results. In group of patients with infertility associated with small forms of subserous and intramural uterine myomas, pathognomonic signs of endometrial dysfunction were: high frequency of chronic endometritis, pathological activation of neoangiogenesis, positive expression of inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase p16ink4a, reduction of ER and PR expression in the stromal endometrial component, change in receptor affinity of sex steroid hormones.

Background. Bacteriuria caused by group B streptococci (GBS) is a major risk factor for neonatal GBS associated pathology and a risk factor for pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and preterm rupture of membranes.

Objective. Clinical and microbiological rationale for the prophylaxis of obstetrical and perinatal pathology associated with group B streptococci. Methods. A total of 496 pregnant women who made their first prenatal visit within first 12 weeks of gestation were invited to participate. As clinical samples, mid-stream urine, vaginal swabs, rectal swabs from women and inguinal swabs, urine, meconium from newborn infants were used. GBS detection was performed using culture and PCR.

Results. The frequency of GBS detection was 16.3%. GBS associated bacteriuria was detected in 9.8% of the women. The women having GBS in urine at the beginning of pregnancy were significantly more often colonized with the microorganism late in pregnancy in comparison with the women with GBS-colonization of the vagina and/or rectum. Microbiological efficiency of antibiotic therapy of GBS associated bacteriuria using amoxicillin/clavulanic acid exceeded 70%. Clinical efficiency of the therapy consisted in the reduction of preterm birth and preterm rupture of membranes by 25% and 40%, respectively.

Conclusions. Antibiotic therapy of GBS associated bacteriuria results in a decrease of pregnancy complication, which necessitate its use. GBS-colonization of the vagina and rectum in pregnant women is transitory therefore antenatal screening for GBS aimed to prevent neonatal GBS-infection should be performed late in pregnancy or before delivery.

In recent years increasingly discusses the prospects of application of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) as the winding current-carrying elements of magnetic systems for various purposes. It seems particularly attractive possibility of such systems at liquid nitrogen temperature. The article describes the prototype of module of the magnetic system which is made on the basis of high-temperature superconducting tapes, designed for the installation and testing on a working model of a static levitation. In the working model levitation of the platform carried by the interaction of the magnetic field of the assembly of permanent magnets mounted on the platform with a field similar to assemblies located in the track structure. Compact HTS module replaces the two assemblies of permanent magnets mounted on the platform. Each block of the module represents HTS racetrack coil with current inputs, power structure, positioning system and bracing which is placed in a cryostat, providing at minimum wall thickness of the required mechanical strength and thermal insulation at liquid nitrogen temperature. The prototype of unified superconducting module successfully passed preliminary tests.
