A Serious Game to learn English: The case of Bethe1Challenge
Authors: Aguilar Cruz Paola Julie , Álvarez Guayara Henry Alberto
Published: December 2021

Current research in English language teaching reports that there is a tendency towards the use of mobile games and technology. However, there is a lack of research conducted that informs on the implementation of those strategies in high school contexts in Colombia. This article reports a case study aimed at exploring students’ perceptions towards the use of the Serious Game Bethe1Challenge supported with gamified activities, in a high school context during pandemic times. Accordingly, interviews, a pre-test and post-test were implemented and analyzed. It is concluded that participants perceived that Bethe1Challenge is an entertaining, fun, and enjoyable game that increases motivation and improves English learning as reported in the tests. Nonetheless, constraints related to the game were also discovered.
effect of a serious game on aviation vocabulary acquisition
Authors: Dinçer Nazmi , Dinçer Rabia
Published: December 2021

Having proficiency in the standard aviation phraseology specified by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is of great importance for prospective pilots in communication with air traffic controllers and other pilots. The ambiguity in the standard phraseology could be a disaster for the flight crews. That’s why; serious thought has been given at the policy of improving the precise communication in aviation. However, it remains unclear whether the serious game-based flight simulations can enhance the vocabulary intake of the learners who invest the majority of their time in studying the standard aviation phraseology. There is also a dearth of research pertaining to the association between serious gaming and aviation phraseology. The advancement of the technology has exponentially expanded the digital games and therefore began to be widely used in education. The current study thus sets out to investigate the effect of a serious simulation game X-Plane 11 offering invaluable learning experience on aviation vocabulary acquisition. This investigation takes the form of a quasi-experimental mixed-method research by retrieving convenience sampling (15 subjects in experimental group, 15 subjects in control group). The findings indicated that there had been strong evidence of the positive effects of serious gaming on the learners’ outcome. Following the integration of the serious game, a significant increase with the medium effect size in the experimental group was recorded. This finding was also echoed by the majority of the interviewees who unanimously emphasized that the game was beneficial and motivating for language learning despite the minority challenges triggered by the level of language, hardware, and software types.
Prospects of Development of Retail Trade Formats for Mongolian Goods in the Context of Competition on the Russian Market
Authors: Novikova Nadezhda
Published: December 2021

The article examined the reasons for the decline in the apparel market, the issue of poor development of trade in Mongolian brand woolen knitwear and its place in fashionable retail. The study made the case for the development of formats that sell such clothing and identified tactual formats for which it is necessary to make changes. It also assessed the competitive position using the coordinate system of M. Porter's typical strategies, as well as the values of the target consumers. We found that brand clothes made from Mongolian woolen knitwear lack clear positioning. We demonstrated the possibilities to change the location and format of trade, and the necessity to employ various models of trade in Mongolian branded knitwear.

Authors: Bulokhova Tatiana , Grigorieva Natalia , Olintsevich Victoria
Published: December 2021

The increase in Russia's foreign trade turnover with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the growth of freight traffic between Europe and Asia, the need to realize the country's transit potential in the context of the globalization of the transport services market, all this sets the railway industry the task of managing the growing volumes of traffic in the direction of the Far Eastern ports. The key role in solving this problem is assigned, along with the Baikal-Amur Mainline, to the Eastern Polygon, the development of which is among the priority investment projects of the state and of Russian Railways. However, as the studies have shown, the problems of managing the growing volumes of transportation lie not only in the field of technical equipment, but also in the sphere of management: in the organization and implementation of operational work in the conditions of polygon technologies. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to transform the system of planning budget indicators that characterize the activities of the Eastern Polygon and all its functional divisions in the conditions of polygon technologies. The article also highlights the main factors that affect the increase in profitability from freight transportation. The object of the study was the Eastern Polygon. The methods of research were analysis and synthesis of performance indicators of the Eastern Polygon during the period of its existence.

Published: December 2021

The study of individual differences in risk readiness and propensity to novelty of small regional business entrepreneurs in various socio-economic situations (before and during the pandemic) is relevant. The purpose of the article is to investigate the leading distinguishing features of small business entrepreneurs: risk-taking and novelty-seeking in the context of the socio-economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Methods. The authors analyzed relevant individual differences of small business entrepreneurs in various socio-economic situations, namely before and after the pandemic on the basis of the innovative approach and the person-activity concept of risk using the standardized methods “Risk Readiness” (A.M. Schubert) and “Tendency to Novelty” (G.A. Zuckerman), the sociological approach and the Student's parametric criterion. Results. The article presents the results of an empirical study. The sample consisted of 79 small business entrepreneurs from the city of Irkutsk and the Irkutsk region. It was found out that before the pandemic, the degree of risk remained in the range of average values (from 3.19 to 3.65), and during the pandemic, a greater number of interviewed entrepreneurs assessed the risks within the extreme values (from 1 to 7). Throughout the study, entrepreneurs showed a tendency to novelty, intolerance to boredom, monotony and lack of variety. The value of the results. In different socio-economic conditions (before and during the pandemic), most regional entrepreneurs are risk-tolerant. they seek for new experience, they feel the need to weaken the psychological barriers that limit releasing their hidden feelings and needs.
Criminal Liability for Violation of the Rules of Creation, Operation, Repair or Other Interaction with Robots and Autonomous Robots
Authors: Begishev Ildar
Published: December 2021

Currently, robotics, along with other end-to-end technologies, is one of the key drivers of the digital economy. Robots are already successfully used in industry, agriculture, construction, aviation, and many other sectors of economic activity. Robots, due to their inherent properties, can not only store, process, and transmit information, but also perform certain mechanical actions, in accordance with the algorithms of their computer programs. The models of criminal law regulation that have been developed and are applied to the operators of computer equipment can not be fully adapted to the regulation of robots and are not fully relevant for the purposes of protecting public relations that develop in connection with their functioning. Robots, depending on their tactical and technical characteristics, can be a source of various threats, some of which create a danger of harming interests protected by criminal law and, under unfavorable circumstances, can realize this danger. Therefore, activities related to the development, operation and repair of robots must be consistent with the criminal law norms of a prohibitive nature. To ensure the safe and uninterrupted creation, operation, repair or other interaction with robots and autonomous robots, as well as to prevent harm in the course of the functioning of such robots, it is possible to propose to the legislator to supplement the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a separate norm on liability for violation of the rules of creation, operation, repair or other interaction with such robots.
Myles Brand’s College Sports Sustainability: “Amateurism”, Finances, and Institutional Balance
Authors: Fort Rodney
Published: December 2021

As NCAA President, Myles Brand championed three major college sports initiatives: academic integrity, diversity, and sustainability. This paper is about the last. The first step is to distill the elements of college sports that Brand identified repeatedly in his documents and speeches on sustainability. The central elements are the NCAA definition of “amateurism”, athletic department finances, and balance between athletic and academic spending as a part of the university mission. An assessment of these three suggests that NCAA amateurism has changed since his death, in ways Brand stated should raise worries about sustainability. Finances and balance within the university have changed very little over the past ten years and appear sustainable into the future.
Myles Brand: Intecollegiate Athletics Within the Limits of the Academic Mission Alone
Authors: Matz Lou
Published: December 2021

During his NCAA presidency, Myles Brand led novel academic reforms that gained deserved national recognition, but his defense of the educational and academic value of IA should be equally acknowledged since this was, for Brand, the ultimate reason why universities should support intercollegiate athletics (IA) in the first place. In this article, I describe the development of Brand’s view of the educational value of IA that preceded his signature 2006 publication ‘The Role and Value of Intercollegiate Athletics in Universities.’ I then explain Brand’s Integrated View of IA in his 2006 article and focus on his key argumentative strategy: the analogy of the educational value of IA to the educational value of performing arts like music and dance. I contend that Brand did not bring his persuasive analogical argument to its full logical conclusions since IA should contribute to a new academic major in Sport Performance and some of the very character virtues that Brand identified as developed ideally by IA are now recognized as essential academic liberal learning outcomes. I conclude by raising some criticisms of Brand’s view based on the organizational framework and policies of IA that create difficulties for the full realization of its educational value. Nonetheless, at a momentous time in U.S. higher education when university priorities and budgets are under perhaps unprecedented scrutiny, Brand’s insistence that IA must be integrated with the academic mission is more relevant than ever.
Transhumanizam kao paradigma čitanja anglofonih književnosti
Authors:   , Furjanić Lovro
Published: December 2021

Transhumanism as a Paradigm for Reading Anglophone Literature : The primary objective of this dissertation is to read a selection of works by anglophone authors from the perspective of transhumanist philosophy. Such a transhumanist reading is not underpinned by the desire to offer an argument in favour or against transhumanism, but because transhumanism offers a group of issues and policies on which to base a coherent approach to the literary works being studied. These issues are primarily technological, whether the technology in question is something currently available or speculative. Additionally, this dissertation strives to explore the relationship between transhumanism and literature in a serious, extensive and systematic manner which is mostly lacking in the currently available research which touches upon these topics.

Authors: Heredia-Arboleda Edgar E. , Torres-Cajas Mónica J. , Oviedo Danilo R. Yépez , Lara-Velarde Adriana C.
Published: December 2021

English Language Teachers (ELTs), to be effective in the teaching and learning process in contemporary society, need to be not only competent with qualities of instructional skills but also with qualities of personal traits. This paper aims to offer ELTs reflection around the most vital qualities of personal traits, which are required to contribute to the design of more effective EFL teaching and learning milieus. To that end, and supported by a pilot study carried out to construct a master´s degree program in Teaching Local and Foreign Languages in an Ecuadorian Public University, we gathered, in four major categories, the scattered and unclassified qualities of personal traits which are available in the related literature. In this framework, the qualities of personal traits that ELTs must possess are bound with virtues such as perpetual learning, humanism, instructional-personal communication, and cross-culturalism. In general, this article may be helpful for ELTs to visualize the qualities of personal traits, which are needed to face the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education of the 21st century.
Critical Thinking Sub-Skills in English Debate
Authors: Wang Liqing
Published: December 2021

Incorporating the existing theoretical models of critical thinking (CT) with empirical data analysis, this paper proposes an analytical framework for English debate in a Chinese EFL context. The framework divides the core tasks of debate into four stages: information assessment, argumentation, presentation, and reflection. Each stage requires different CT skills and sub-skills. After analyzing the 24 students’ debating and subsequent reflective practice, this paper discusses the key points and difficulties in developing CT skills in the process of English debate and tries to explore the operable teaching methods.
Tanggungjawab Wali terhadap Pendidikan Keagamaan Bagi Kanak-Kanak: Satu Penelitian Menurut Hukum Syarak
Authors: Yasin Redwan , Mohd Awal Noor Aziah , Musa Nurhafilah
Published: December 2021

Wali dalam Islam adalah merupakan individu yang paling berhak dan menggalas tanggungjawab utama untuk mendidik kanak-kanak dari sudut ilmu keagamaan. Tanggungjawab tersebut wajib dilaksanakan dengan penuh keprihatinan dan berhikmah supaya dapat membentuk sahsiah dan akhlak mulia dalam diri kanak-kanak. Malangnya pada zaman moden kini, kebanyakan golongan wali tidak berjaya menggalas tanggungjawab tersebut sebaiknya dan kurang memahami konsep pendidikan keagamaan yang wajib diberikan kepada kanak-kanak. Maka penulisan artikel ini adalah bertujuan untuk menjelaskan tentang hubungan konsep perwalian dengan tanggungjawab mendidik kanak-kanak. Artikel ini juga memfokuskan tentang bentuk-bentuk pendidikan keagamaan yang wajib diajarkan kepada kanak-kanak bagi menyempurnakan pemahaman mereka mengenai agama yang dianuti. Kaedah kajian kepustakaan digunakan bagi mengumpulkan data untuk dianalisis mengikut metode analisis kandungan. Hasil penulisan menunjukkan bahawa golongan wali seharusnya memainkan peranan yang paling utama dalam mendidik kanak-kanak dari sudut ilmu pengetahuan keagamaan. Tanggungjawab tersebut tidak seharusnya diserahkan secara mutlak kepada pihak lain dalam apa juga keadaan sekalipun. Ini adalah kerana wali merupakan individu yang berkuasa untuk menentukan hala tuju keagamaan dalam diri kanak-kanak.
Divergent Opinions Regarding Appointment of Academics to Judicial Offices in Nigeria: A Socio-Legal Approach
Authors: Adamu Aliyu Musa , Adamu Aliyu Nasiru
Published: December 2021

Competence of academics to become judges has attracted divergent opinions among legal scholars. Intellectually academics have been conducting researches and disseminating the findings of the works in journals. Outside the four walls of the universities, the scholars are helping courts to appreciate difficult legal issues by filing scholars’ brief. They appear before the courts as friends or amici curiae. In the United States, it is a tradition to appoint academics as judges, and there is similar practice in various parts of the world. Nigeria is one of the countries where academics were elevated to become judicial officers or judges of Superior Courts. Late Justice Teslim Elias was an academic appointed as a judicial officer. There are opinions for and against appointment of members of the academia into judicial offices. Proponents of the appointment believe that academics are suitable to be appointed as judges by virtue of their knowledge. On the other hand, those against such appointment are of the view that the academics lack practical experience in the courtroom. This reason makes them unqualified to be appointed judges. This paper has adopted a socio-legal research approach to understand the perspectives for and against appointing academics as judges. Nine members of the legal profession have been interviewed and majority of them have supported the appointment.
A New Approach to Images’ Pespective Transformation in Robotics Telemetry
Authors: Belchenko F. M. , Ermolov I. L.
Published: December 2021

Remotely controlled robots are the majority of contemporary robots’ population. As a rule such robots are used for inspection, patrolling, mines disposal. This is caused by a fact that today’s level of robots’ autonomy is rather low and autonomous robots can not secure reliable performance. However performance of remotely operated robots depends largely on efficiency of information perception by human-operator. This paper studies images representation to operators on robots’ control pendants. More specifically it studies 3D images representation on flat displays. The goal of this study is to increased reaction rate and decrease errors done by robot’s operator due to image’s uncertainty or poor quality. Our main attention is paid to the development of software that implements the technology of transforming the perspective of images. Matrixes for perspective transformation are studied. Hence application of these matrixes within remotely operated robots is discussed. A novelty of this research is in new knowledge about perspective transformation which is done for a better information perception by human-operator and, as an outcome, to increase efficiency of remotely operated robots. The related technologies in the field of telemetry and technical vision systems have been investigated. Also considered are works in medical fields, in particular, the psychology of perception of images and space. A static software model has been developed. The video camera has been implemented with the introduction of perspective distortions to improve the reliability of the transmission of the necessary areas in the image. Research on the technology is carried out jointly with the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A special prototype for perspective transformation basing on various scenarios is being developed.

Hearing loss is considered among the most common chronic disorders affecting people worldwide, especially older adults and geriatrics. More than half of older adults have age-related hearing loss, which worsens with age. The role of public health to estimate and manage the issue is crucial as early screening and management for hearing loss patients can be promising. The symptoms and signs of hearing loss can appear one up to two years before the significant hearing affection. Major lessons learned from this review are that elderly individuals and geriatrics are the most common targeted population for age-related hearing loss, followed by ear wax accumulation. Therefore, routine checkup for people who are 50 years for audiological disorders is a must. Associated disorders secondary to hearing loss include depression and anxiety, which significantly burden productivity over time. To our knowledge, we performed the first complex review regarding the screening for hearing loss within the setting of primary care centers and mentioned the most standard test used to diagnose and detect the issue as early as possible.
Application of the vacuum casting technology in the production of small-size gas turbine engine blade machines
Authors: Faramazyan A. M. , Remchukov S. S. , Demidyuk I. V.
Published: December 2021

The application of casting technologies in the production of parts and assemblies of small-size gas turbine engines is justified in the paper. The technology of vacuum casting in gypsum molds was tested during the production of an experimental centrifugal compressor of a small-size gas turbine engine. On the basis of a 3D model of the designed centrifugal compressor, computational studies of vacuum casting were carried out and rational parameters of the technological process were determined. Prototypes of the developed centrifugal compressor of a small-size gas turbine engine were made. The results of calculations and the performed technological experiment confirmed the fill rate of the gating form and the absence of short pour. The distribution of shrinkage porosity and cavities corresponds to the design values and is concentrated in the central part of the casting that is subjected to subsequent machining. The area of the blades, disc and sleeve is formed without defects. The use of casting technologies in the production of parts and assemblies of small-size gas turbine engines assures the required quality with a comparatively low price of the finished product, making it possible to achieve the balance between the cost of the technology and the quality of the product made according to this technology.

Legal enlightenment in Russia: modern problems of theory and practice
Authors: Istomin M. A. , Nechkin A. V.
Published: December 2021

The article examines the history of the development of legal enlightenment in Russia, its modern legal regulation, as well as the theoretical basis associated with its implementation. Revealing the paramount importance of legal enlightenment for the formation of civil society and state of law, the authors point out the need to create a unified system of normative legal acts regulating this activity. Currently, the legal regulation of the activities of various subjects of legal enlightenment is unsystematic, since at different levels there are a large number of unrelated legal acts, which makes it difficult to achieve the goals of legal enlightenment. Among other things, the study carried out a comprehensive theoretical analysis of activities in legal enlightenment, on the basis of which the authors, on the one hand, conclude about the unity of rational and irrational moments in this activity, on the other, about the primary impact on the emotional-volitional side of a person in the process of legal enlightenment. Linking the structure of legal enlightenment with elements of legal awareness legal ideology and legal psychology, the authors point to the unity of legal training and legal literacy with in the framework of legal enlightenment, offering their definition of the concept of legal enlightenment.

The article presents the first U–Pb data on the age of detrital zircons from clastic sediments of Yambozero Formation (Barmin Group) which constitutes the upper part of the Precambrian sequence of the Northern Timan. Age data for 80 zircon grains (LA-ICP-MS) cover the range of 989–2713 Ma. Weighted average age of the three youngest zircons yields the age of 1004±15 Ma which provides grounds to assume that sediment deposition took place in late Riphean (Neoproterozoic). The accumulation of clastic sediments of Yambozero Formation was controlled mostly with terrigenous material from eroded rock complexes coeval with crystalline complexes of Fennoscandia and Central Russian Belt.

O leito de Procusto e os instrumentos de classificação de documentos de arquivo
Authors: Sousa Renato Tarcisio Barbosa de
Published: December 2021

O tema do artigo é a classificação de documentos de arquivo, como parte dos estudos de representação e organização e, mais especificamente, dos instrumentos de classificação de documentos de arquivo. Eles são elaborados misturando-se vários princípios de classificação na mesma estrutura classificatória. Essa forma dá origem a ferramentas de difícil compreensão por parte do usuário, além de não favorecer a recuperação, a manutenção do vínculo arquivístico e a fundamentação de outras funções arquivísticas. A pergunta motivadora da pesquisa foi a seguinte: a nova versão do código de classificação de documentos de arquivo das atividades-meio da Administração Pública Federal é consistente do ponto de vista da estrutura, da lógica e da semântica? O objetivo foi o de verificar se a nova versão do código de classificação, divulgado em 2020 pelo Arquivo Nacional, tem os elementos estruturais, lógicos e semânticos que favorecem o seu entendimento e sua aplicação. A pesquisa, quanto ao seu objetivo, é do tipo exploratória, pois procura ampliar o conhecimento sobre um tema, o instrumento de classificação de documentos, pouco explorado pela área. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental no que se refere aos procedimentos de coleta e às fontes de informação. E é uma pesquisa qualitativa em relação à natureza dos dados. Observou-se que a nova versão apresenta vários avanços em relação à estrutura, lógica e semântica.

Published: December 2021

The research has been conducted to manufacture nickel-based Superalloy materials. The purpose of this research was to find out the effects of variation of nickel composition on physical and mechanical properties of the Superalloy materials and find out the appropriate composition of Superalloy materials as materials for turbine blades. This research used nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, aluminium, and titanium commercial. The results showed that with more addition of nickel composition, the density and hardness values increased. This research showed that nickel-based Superalloy material 59 wt% was better applied as materials for turbine blades. It is also supported by the results of the test microstructure, where the structure of the sample morphology is more delicate and denser and contains smaller pores. Based on the XRD test results are also shown in the sample has been formed Superalloys phase.
MULTI-LEVEL STRUCTURE OF POLISEMOUS WORD: INVARIANT-CLUSTER ANALYSIS
Authors:   Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University, Pesina S.A.
Published: December 2021

Within the framework of the article, we have come up with a hypothesis of a polysemous word integrity as a multilevel structure, which is ensured by the dominant lexical invariant meaning. The analysis of the English polysemous word “key” is presented with the use of the empirical invariant-component method. Metaphorical clusters of meanings of this word and its lexical invariant are defined as a set of basic dominant components that form the semantic core of the word. The reasons for the ambiguity of the boundaries of the lexical meaning are substantiated, the patterns of schematization of the meanings of the word “key” are revealed. The use of lexical invariants can be useful for didactic purposes when using them as an alternative to memorizing lists of polysemous word meanings. The proposed method can be useful when compiling educational dictionaries. The representation of the semantic structure of words in the form of lexical invariants has a number of advantages over the “list theory”, it can significantly complement the theory of “general meaning”.
STRATEGIES OF MODALITY CHOICE OF UTTERANCES IN GERMAN CULTURE
Authors:   Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Kostrova O.A.
Published: December 2021

In the paper the author explores possibilities of how basic concepts of German culture can influence the speech activity of the speaker. The research is done on the crossing point of grammar, theory of communication and linguistic conceptology. The paper deals with German modal verbs functioning in modern fiction texts. The author discusses the problem of modality choice by the speaking personality producing the utterance. The research aims at revealing correspondences between the grammar system of German modal verbs in their functioning and German speaking personality who encodes his/her choice influenced by basic concepts of German low context culture, namely INDIVIDUALISM, ORDER and RESPONSIBILITY. The correlation takes into account the transparency of strong German modal verb system and direct communication style of German speaking personality who chooses in this case an overt modal strategy. The other strategy type is the softening one. The personality mitigates his/her utterance taking into consideration the personality of the partner. Overt strategy is used for encoding deontic modality and softening strategy denotes epistemic modality and some others cases. The findings open access for understanding German linguistic identity.

Authors: Gaspar-Cunha António , Sikora Janusz , Covas José A.
Published: December 2021

Given the global economic and societal importance of the polymer industry, the continuous search for improvements in the various processing techniques is of practical primordial importance. This review evaluates the application of optimization methodologies to the main polymer processing operations. The most important characteristics related with the usage of optimization techniques, such as the nature of the objective function, the type of optimization algorithm, the modelling approach used to evaluate the solutions, and the parameters to optimize, are discussed. The aim is to identify the most important features of an optimization system for polymer processing problems, and define the best procedure for each particular practical situation. For this purpose, a state-of-the-art of the optimization methodologies usually employed is first presented, followed by an extensive review of the literature dealing with the major processing techniques, the discussion being completed by considering both the characteristics identified and the available optimization methodologies. This first part of the review focus on extrusion, namely extruders, extrusion dies and calibrators. It is concluded that there is a set of methodologies that can be confidently applied in polymer processing, with a very good performance and without the need of demanding computation requirements.
Linear and Non-linear Regression Analysis for the Adsorption Kinetics of SO2 in a Fixed Carbon Bed Reactor – A Case Study
Authors: Kisiela-Czajka Anna M. , Dziejarski Bartosz
Published: December 2021

Kinetic parameters of SO2 adsorption on unburned carbons from lignite fly ash and activated carbons based on hard coal dust were determined. The model studies were performed using the linear and non-linear regression method for the following models: pseudo first and second-order, intraparticle diffusion, and chemisorption on a heterogeneous surface. The quality of the fitting of a given model to empirical data was assessed based on: R2, R, Δq, SSE, ARE, χ2, HYBRID, MPSD, EABS, and SNE. It was clearly shown that it is the linear regression that more accurately reflects the behaviour of the adsorption system, which is consistent with the first-order kinetic reaction – for activated carbons (SO2+Ar) or chemisorption on a heterogeneous surface – for unburned carbons (SO2+Ar and SO2+Ar+H2O(g)+O2) and activated carbons (SO2+Ar+H2O(g)+O2). Importantly, usually, each of the approaches (linear/non-linear) indicated a different mechanism of the studied phenomenon. A certain universality of the χ2 and HYBRID functions has been proved, the minimization of which repeatedly led to the lowest SNE values for the indicated models. Fitting data by any of the non-linear equations based on the R or R2 functions only, cannot be treated as evidence/prerequisite of the existence of a given adsorption mechanism.
