Authors: Matys Elena , Meller Natalia , Nekrasova Inna , Degtyareva Christina
Published: December 2019

Investment and construction activities are represented by a combination of a multitude of economic entities and economic relations between them. The Institute for Self-Regulation of Entrepreneurial and Professional Activities in Russia is innovative in terms of regulating market relations. However, the number of areas of activity that apply the principles of self-regulation is growing every year. There is a need to decide on the choice of a self-regulatory organization. The urgency of this professional community needs a system of self-regulatory organizations. The system of rating and evaluation of the effectiveness of a self-regulatory organization is necessary both for the participants in self-regulation and for the state. This is an obligatory condition for the interaction of the professional community with the authorities. This study allows to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative indicators that affect the overall efficiency of the activity and the rating of a self-regulatory organization.
The concept of “justice” in the legislation of Russia and France, implementation features
Authors: Borshcheniuk Vera , Semeryanova Nina , Filatova Uliana , Zhabskiy Valeriy
Published: December 2019

The relevance of the study is determined by the prevailing variety of approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of “justice”, which is characteristic of both Russia and France. Such variability leads to a persistent distortion of this concept in practice of law enforcement, which, in turn, affects the effectiveness of administration of justice. The aim of the authors is to study scientific theoretical views and practical issues associated with the implementation of the principle of justice in two states. In the work we used following methods: dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, as well as the formal legal and comparative legal method.Based on the analysis of the doctrine, legislation and judicial practice of two states, Russia and France, the following conclusions are drawn. At present, “justice” is understood as a universal notion, which is not limited only by coverage of regulatory norms of the law, but is actively applied by judicial practice. The use of this concept allows the court to make fair decisions depending on specific circumstances of the case, thereby achieving a balance of interests of participants in the process by interpreting and clarifying the law, and in some cases by creating a new rule of law that allows the courts to ensure the effective implementation of the principle of justice. However, in order to avoid variability in understanding this notion, it is proposed to fix the concept of “justice” in the civil procedure code, this will reduce the percentage of judicial conflicts and will contribute to formation of a uniform judicial practice.
Civilistic approach to the concept of robot as an object of civil law
Authors: Borshcheniuk Vera , Semeryanova Nina , Filatova Uliana , Zhabskiy Valeriy
Published: December 2019

The relevance of the study is specified by the issue of determining the status of robots in civil law. The paper attempts to establish the legal identification of robot as an object of civil rightsin order to enshrine in the law provisions on this new object. Classification of robots is also proposed, which can serve as the basis for subsequent systematization of robots and their registration systems. The leading research approaches used by the authors are such scientific methods as dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, comparative legal and formal legal method. Conclusions: definition of digital and virtual robot is proposed. The authors believe that digital robot does not have to possess signs of anthropomorphism, the main thing in it is the level of intelligence. Anthropomorphism should currently be considered from the point of view of resembling a person by intellect, not by physical characteristics.

The objective of this research is revisal of transregional integration conditions by the analysis of modern geopolitical aims of the world financial system’s leaders and also it is practical recommendations forming to prevent the Russian economy trapping by the fictive capital of transregional unions. It has been shown that the global finance circulation model is drastically changing - trade and economic unions like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are aimed at forming the markets for goods, works and services produced in countries, which have been proclaimed as the world financial centres. That politics doesn’t allow to develop industry and it arrive to financial bubbles at branches of economy, which are cooperated with transregional financial flows. For the leaders of transregional groups, it’s a way to solve geopolitical problems with financial methods shifting responsibility for their mistakes in industrial policy. There are significant features of the east and west leaders dominance in transregional unions in the article. These are respectively hub infrastructure dependence and currency speculations. The conclusion is it should be formed a secured non-speculative currency in transregional union for geopolitical dependence eliminate. Besides the only reason for infrastructure international project realize could be an economic efficiency. These conclusions are very important for the modern stage of the globalization.

Published: December 2019

Oil is one of the key primary energy resources in the global fuel and energy balance, and experts predict that it will remain so until 2040. However, right now the oil industry is undergoing a period of structural changes. On the one hand, the instability of the world economy, as well as inter-country conflicts, the policy of trade wars and sanctions create excessive volatility in the commodity and financial oil markets. On the other hand, the development of renewable energy, the hydrogen economy and the gas fuel market, as well as increasing environmental requirements, pose a new challenge to the oil market. All these issues determine the key aspects of the energy complex, the system analysis and management of which should be focused on the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of the global economy. The article provides an assessment of the prospects for the development of global energy, taking into account the above trends.

New challenges for the development of the oil market
Authors: Kukhtin Peter , Znamenskaya Elena
Published: December 2019

The article considers the current situation in the oil market and the issues that determine the search for the most relevant pricing mechanisms for international oil grades. As noted in the study, the volume of oil available for calculating the North Sea Brent standard is decreasing, and trading liquidity in the ports of the North Sea is decreasing. Peaks in the production of most fields are long behind, and more and more light oil from various regions of the world is being delivered to Europe. Despite many scenarios for the transition of energy to low-carbon sources, oil demand will continue to grow, at least until 2040. This determines the long-term relevance of issues of ensuring balance in the global oil market.

The multinucleon transfer reaction mechanism was employed to populate isotopes around the doubly-magic 208 Pb nucleus. We used an unstable 94 Rb beam on 208 Pb targets of different thickness. Transfer channels were studied via the fragment-γ and γ-γ coincidences, by using MINIBALL γ spectrometer coupled to a particle detector. Gamma transitions associated to the different Pb isotopes, populated by the neutron transfers, are discussed in terms of excitation energy and spin. Fragment angular distributions were extracted, andcompared with the reaction models.
Optical Potentials: Microscopic vs. Phenomenological Approaches
Authors: Finelli Paolo , Vorabbi Matteo , Giusti Carlotta
Published: December 2019

In this work we study the performances of our microscopic optical potential [1, 2], derived from nucleon-nucleon chiral potentials at fifth order (N4LO), in comparison with those of a successful non-relativistic phenomenological optical potential in the description of elastic proton scattering data on tin and lead isotopes at energies around and above 200 MeV. Our results indicate that microscopic optical potentials derived from nucleon-nucleon chiral potentials at N4LO can provide reliable predictions for observables of stable and exotic nuclei, even at energies where the robustness of the chiral expansion starts to be questionable.

Lifetime measurements with the recoil distance Doppler-shift technique have been performed to determine yrast E2 transition strengths in 178Pt. The experimental data are related to those on neighboring Pt isotopes, especially recent data on 180Pt, and compared to calculations within the interacting boson model and a Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov approach. These models predict prolate deformed ground states in Pt isotopes close to neutron midshell consistent with the experimental findings. Further, evidence was found that the prolate intruder structure observed in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes that is minimum in energy in 182Hg becomes the ground state configuration in 178Pt and neighboring 180Pt with nearly identical transition quadrupole moments. The new data on 178Pt are further discussed in the context of the systematics along the Pt isotopic chain with respect to a possible sharp shape transition towards a weakly deformed or a quasi-vibrational ground state whereas the prolate structure increases in energy in 174,176Pt and becomes an intruder configuration similar to, for example, 180,182Hg.
Decoherence of collective motion in warm nuclei
Authors: Frauendorf S. , Petrache C. M. , Schwengner R. , Wimmer K.
Published: December 2019

Collective states in cold nuclei are represented by a wave function that assigns coherent phases to the participating nucleons. The degree of coherence decreases with excitation energy above the yrast line because of coupling to the increasingly dense background of quasiparticle excitations. The consequences of decoherence are discussed, starting with the well studied case of rotational damping. In addition to superdeformed bands, a highly excited oblate band is presented as a new example of screening from rotational damping. Suppression of pair correlation leads to incoherent thermal M1 radiation, which appears as an exponential spike (LEMAR) at zero energy in the γ strength function of spherical nuclei. In deformed nuclei a Scissors Resonance appears and LEMAR changes to damped magnetic rotation, which is interpreted as partial restoration of coherence.
Enhanced monopole and dipole transitions in nuclei induced by α cluster structures
Authors: Ito Makoto , Nakao Makoto , Okuno Tomoyuki , Ebata Syuuichiro
Published: December 2019

Enhancement of the monopole and dipole transitions in the low-lying state is discussed on the basis of the microscopic and macroscopic α cluster models. Theoretical calculation clearly demonstrates that the strength of the monopole and dipole transitions are strongly enhanced by the excitation in the relative motion of the α cluster and the residual nucleus. The transition strength induced by the α excitation appears as the discrete distribution, and its excitation energy is much lower than the excitation energy of the single nucleon excitation, which is expected from the naive mean field picture.

Properties of neutron-rich nuclei in the A˜160 region are important for achieving a better understanding of the nuclear structure in this region where little is known owing to diffculties in the production of these nuclei at the present nuclear physics facilities. These properties are essential ingredients in the interpretation of the rareearth peak at A˜160 in the r process abundance distribution, since theoretical models are sensitive to nuclear structure input. Predicated on these ideas, we have initiated a new experimental program at Argonne National Laboratory. During the first experiment, beams from the Californium Rare Isotope Breeder Upgrade radioactive beam facility were used in conjunction with the SATURN decay station and the X-array. We focused initially on several odd-odd nuclei, where β decays of both the ground state and an excited isomer were investigated. Because of the spin difference, a variety of structures in the daughter nuclei were selectively populated and characterized based on their decay properties. Mass measurements using the Canadian Penning Trap aimed at establishing the excitation energy of the β-decaying isomers were also carried out. Evidence was found for a change in the single-particle structure, which in turn results in the formation of a sizable N=98 sub-shell gap at large deformation. Results from the first experimental campaign using the newly-commissioned β-decay station at Gammasphere are also presented.
Heavy Ion Charge Exchange Reactions as Probes for Beta–Decay
Authors: Lenske Horst
Published: December 2019

Peripheral heavy ion single and double charge reactions are described by fully quantum mechanical distorted wave methods. A special class of nuclear double charge exchange (DCE) reactions proceeding as a one-step reaction through a two-body process are shown to proceed by nuclear matrix elements of a diagrammatic structure as found also in 0ν2ß decay. These hadronic Majorana-type DCE reactions (MDCE) have to be distinguished from second order DCE reactions, given by double single charge exchange (DSCE) processes, resembling 2ν2ß decay. The theoretical concepts of MDCE are discussed. First results show that ion-ion DCE reactions are the ideal testing grounds for investigations of rare second order nuclear processes, giving insight into nuclear in-medium two-body correlation.

In recent years, a number of both theoretical and experimental investigations have been performed focusing on the zirconium isotopic chain. In particular, state-of-the-art Monte Carlo shell-model calculations predict shape coexistence in these isotopes. In this context, the 94Zr nucleus, which is believed to possess a nearly spherical ground state, is particularly interesting since the purported deformed structure is basedon the low-lying 02+ state, making it amenable for detailed study. In order to provide definitive conclusionson the shapes of the low-lying states, two complementary experiments to study 94Zr by means of low-energy Coulomb excitation were performed. This data will allow the quadrupole moments of the 21,2+ levels to be extracted as well as for the deformation parameters of the 01,2+ states to be determined and, thus, definitive conclusions to be drawn on the role of shape coexistence in this nucleus for the first time.

The first experiment was performed at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratory with the GALILEO-SPIDER setup, which, for the first time, was coupled with 6 lanthanum bromide scintillators (LaBr3:Ce) in order to maximize the γ-ray detection effciency. The second experiment was performed at the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory (MLL) in Munich and used a Q3D magnetic spectrograph to detect the scattered 12C ions following Coulomb excitation of 94Zr targets.
Coexistence and evolution of shapes: mean-field-based interacting boson model
Authors: Nomura Kosuke
Published: December 2019

A method of deriving the Hamiltonian of the interacting boson model, that is based on the microscopic framework of the nuclear energy density functional, is presented. The constrained self-consistent mean-field calculation with a given energy density functional provides potential energy surface within the relevant collective coordinates, which is subsequently mapped onto the expectation value of the interacting-boson Hamiltonian in the boson condensate state. This procedure completely determines the strength parameters of the IBM, and the diagonalization of the mapped Hamiltonian yields excitation spectra and transition rates for a given nucleus. Two recent applications of the method are discussed, that is, the descriptions of the intruder states in Cadmiumisotopes and the octupole correlations in neutron-rich odd-mass Barium isotopes.

For these systems, we have already analyzed the fusion-evaporation and fission-like processes. A selection method has been developed, in order to discriminate PLF break up events from those due to other mechanisms which populate the same region of the phase- space. A preference for PLF aligned break-up, along the direction of the PLF-TLF separation axis with the light fragment emitted in the backward part, has been put in light, suggesting the presence of dynamical effects. Also a comparison between the neutron-rich 86Kr + 48Ca and neutron-poor 78Kr + 40Ca systems is presented, to put in evidence the isospin role in these processes.

The Zirconium isotopes across the N=56,58 neutron sub­shell closures have been of special interest since years, sparked by the near doubly-magic features of 96Zr and the subsequent rapid onset of collectivity with a deformed ground-state structure already in 100Zr. Recent state-of-the-art shell model approaches did not only correctly describe this shape-phase transition in the Zr isotopic chain, but alsothe coexistence of non-collective structures and pronounced collectivity especially
in 96,98Zr. Theisotope 98Zr is located on the transition from spherical to deformed ground state structures. We summarize recent experimental work to obtain the B(E2) excitation strengths of the first 2+ state of98Zr, including a new experiment employing the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method following a two-neutron transfer reaction.

Drilling is one of the most important machining processes which are currently carried out on fiber-reinforced composites. These composites possess a layered structure and different properties through their thickness. When drilling such structures, internal defects like delamination occur, caused by the drilling forces and their uneven distribution among the plies. The current study investigates the effect of magnetic field on drilling process of basalt/epoxy composite laminate in order to reduce delamination and the thrust force and improve some hole quality parameters i.e. roughness and cylindricity. A comparison is made between the responses for both normal drilling and drilling with applying a magnetic field. For this purpose, after finding the best combinations of normal drilling parameters, magnetic field is applied to the different configurations of solenoids on the setup of the drilling process. The results highlighted that using different magnet solenoids on the top and the bottom of drilling zone reduces the delamination and can obtain better roughness and cylindricity with lower damage.
Streamwise and spanwise vortical structure merging inside the wake of an inclined flat plate
Authors: Procházka Pavel , Uruba Václav
Published: December 2019

The aim of this paper is to study the physics related to lift generation on an airfoil. A new hypothesis [1] of physical mechanism of flight relies on existence of streamwise vortical structures above the wing and inside the wake. The vortices origin as a consequence of flow instability inside the boundary layer developed under adverse pressure gradient. These structures are highly dynamical in nature, they change position and size very rapidly. A simple airfoil in the form of a flat plate with moderate angle of attack is considered in the presented research that generates suitable flow at rather low Reynolds number. Stereo PIV time resolved measurement technique is used to capture high-dynamic data in several planes which are located in the wake and are perpendicular to freestream or parallel to the airfoil. The overall image of the flow field dynamics will be created using POD decomposition. Distinct flow patterns with associated kinetic energy are to be described as well as their role in the studied case. Existence of streamwise vorticity is proved, topology and other parameters are estimated in the paper; however related pressures and forces are not evaluated.

To produce superior quality of coke as compared to traditional cokemaking technologies, a novel hot-tamping technique has been developed. The quality of produced coke was assessed based on the reactivity, pore structure and microcrystalline structure. The results confirmed that the hot tamping coking process produced cokes with superior qualities as compared to traditional cokemaking and cold tamping coking. The hot-tamping cokes have good gloss, compact carbon structure, strong thermal strength and small volume of medium and small pores. This will reduce the coke reactivity by 3–4% when compared with traditional cokemaking process. The hot tamping cokes have the smallest spacing of the crystal face layers with the highest stacking height, diameter, crystal surface size, and graphitization degree that was hardly observed for the cokes from traditional cokemaking and cold tamping coking.
Mathematical modeling of thermal explosion with natural convection: a brief survey
Authors: Allali Karam , Joundy Youssef , Taik Ahmed

Thermal (or heat) explosion occurs in a reacting medium if the heat production due to an exothermic chemical reaction exceeds the heat loss through the boundary. In the mathematical approximation heat explosion is characterized by an unbounded temperature growth. If the reaction occurs in a liquid or gaseous medium, then a nonuniform temperature distribution can lead to natural convection. The interaction of heat explosion with natural convection can result in various regimes with a bounded temperature distribution (stationary, periodic, chaotic) and to a transition to heat explosion. The latter can be accompanied by a monotonic temperature growth or by temperature oscillations (oscillating heat explosion). This paper presents a review on mathematical modelling of heat explosion with natural convection in a homogeneous fluid and in a porous medium.
États-Unis, la GEN IV en effervescence
Authors: Le Gros Gaïc , Merlin Charles
Published: December 2019

Aux États-Unis, le consensus politique autour du nucléaire et la vitalité de l’industrie font du pays une terre fertile pour les projets de réacteurs de 4e génération. Parmi les particularités nationales figurent le caractère privé des acteurs et leur nombre : plus de cinquante entreprises travaillent sur les « réacteurs avancés ». Outre-Atlantique, on parle d’Advanced reactors, un terme qui englobe aussi bien les réacteurs GEN IV que les SMR (Small Modular Reactors ou petits réacteurs modulaires). Le terme SMR faisant référence à la taille, à la modularité des réacteurs mais non à la technologie employée, les deux catégories peuvent se superposer. Les réacteurs de GEN IV développés dans le pays sont d’ailleurs le plus souvent des SMR.
Prähospitale Strategie beim Tauchunfall
Authors: Wunderlich Thomas , Kranich Michael , Staps Enrico
Published: December 2019

Obwohl wir im Rettungsdienst sehr selten mit Tauchunfällen konfrontiert sind, ist es wichtig, mit dem Tauchen in Verbindung stehende Erkrankungen zu erkennen bzw. durch das Szenario „Tauchunfall“ nicht andere Erkrankungen zu übersehen oder falsch zu interpretieren. Die zielführende Therapie bei einer schweren Dekompressionserkrankung ist eine hyperbare Oxygenation. Wegen der geringen Verfügbarkeit von Druckkammern in Deutschland müssen die korrekten einsatztaktischen Entscheidungen frühzeitig getroffen werden.
