STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM OF DYNAMIC SIMILARITY OF THE TRAWL SYSTEM
Authors: Nedostup Alexander Alekseevich , Razhev Alexey Olegovich
Published: December 2017

Testing full-scale mechanical systems, such as trawl systems (bottom and midwater) is connected with great economic costs, therefore, it is advisable to carry out the study of dynamic processes on the models in laboratories. The paper describes special features, advantages and weak points of units for physical modelling fishing gears and processes (testing sites, experimental tanks, water flumes, water channels), which use two different modelling principles: modelling straight motion of a fishing tool model (towing) in still fluid and modelling reversed motion when a static model is washed by the moving water. There have been given detailed specifications and capacities of a model basin under Kaliningrad State Technical University, which is an instrument for studying model fishing gears and processes (seine hauling, trawl hauling, purse seine setting, etc.), as well as of a hydraulic channel in Kaliningrad, which is one of the largest construction of such type in the world. It is noted that during investigation of dynamic processes it is necessary to follow the rules of dynamic similarity. These rules have been developed at the Department of industrial fishing in Kaliningrad State Technical University. There has been determined the base scale for setting the problem of dynamic similarity of a trawl system, substantiation of which is primary in the model developing and testing at a selected unit. There was given the formula for taking the only one and correct decision in determining the base scale. In terms of the determined value of the base scale, there are calculated all the other scales of dynamic similarity given in the table of general scales of physical characteristics of hydrodynamic, ground dynamic and tribological processes, which occur in the trawl systems under dynamic similarity.
MAIN PROVISIONS OF STRATEGY OF REPRODUCTION OF RESOURCES OF THE RUSSIAN CRAYFISH (ASTACINAE LATREILLE, 1802)
Authors: Alexandrova Elena Nikolaevna
Published: December 2017

Strategy of reproduction of resources of native crayfish subfamily Astacinae (noble crayfish ( Astacus astacus (L.)), narrow-clawed crayfish ( Pontastacus leptodactylus (Esch.)), Kuban crayfish ( P. cubanicus (Birstein & Winogradov, 1934)) was developed in the conditions of reduction of the number of these valuable species and loss of many commercial water-bodies in the European part of Russia. The strategy was developed taking into account the achievements of Western European countries and Russia in the field of restoration of native astacinae resources in the natural water-bodies and in conditions of cultivation. Reproduction of natural resources of the Russian crayfish should be carried out stage by stage in the territories with favorable ecological and hydrographic conditions for their breeding. Provisions recommended to follow include: selection of the territories favorable for crayfish breeding; preparation of the list of water-bodies suitable for formation of sites with high crayfish productivity; arranging crayfish hatcheries (astacological centers) for receiving crayfish stocking material; creating crayfish reproduction grounds by means of intruding there seeding material from the fish farms. Cultivated resources of crayfish, such as reserved populations, domesticated forms, new-spawning stock of crayfish, groups of breeds and others, are practically absent in Russia. Creating specialized resources for crayfish cultivating (ponds, cages, tank-basins) will allow to carry out selective and genetic researches, to develop technologies of crayfish growing for food production, etc. Solutions for funding actions for reproduction of Astacinae resources and for their legal protection have been proposed.
URBAN AGROTECHNOLOGIES (CITY-FARMING) AS A PERSPECTIVE BRANCH OF DEVELOPMENT OF WORLD AGRIBUSINESS AND THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE CITIES FOOD SECURITY
Authors: Rutkin Natan Mikhailovich , Lagutkin Oleg Yurievich , Lagutkina Lina Yurievna
Published: December 2017

The outlook of the development of world urban agrotechnologies ("city-farming") by means of key innovation technological and market trends analysis has been researched. It is noted that the tendencies to reduction of the area of productive lands, exhausting ecosystem resources, including World ocean resources, harmful consequences of the climate changing are the main limiting factors of the development of traditional agriculture and supplying food products to the growing population of the world. The remote territories of mass food production from the mass markets result in a large amount of waste products (food losses) in supply chains, along with decreasing product quality and raising costs. Growth of the world population, increasing concentration of urban citizens along with changing of consumers’ food preferences towards "health", "natural", "organic" food bring up the development of an additional, or alternate, system of uninterrupted supply or self-provision of cities with food products, ensuring future food security. The article highlights the prospect of developing the international branch of agriculture in terms of its transition to the high-tech stage of development ("AgTech"), and reviews the innovation technologies inseparable from that transition. It has been found that the development of the urban agrotechnologies (city-farming), as a combination of innovative high-performance agro-practices of the food production in urban environment, can step up the level of food security due to increasing food availability in qualitative and quantitative aspects. The review of main city-farming technologies in accordance with directions of its practical applications was done for the first time. The conception "urban agrotechnologies" ("city-farming") has been defined as the scientific term.
EVALUATION AND SYSTEMATIZATION OF MECHANISMS FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF BIG BUSINESS IN THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIA
Authors: Babayan Tigran Karenovich
Published: December 2017

The task of transition to innovative development requires the involvement of resources of all contributors to the national economy. The role of big business in this context is unique. The authorities and members of the expert community repeatedly mentioned the considerable potential of attracting resources of big business (which is not used to the full extent) for the innovative development. In recent years in Russia there have been developed and implemented a variety of mechanisms of involvement of big business in innovation development in order to create an effective innovation system. These mechanisms are "scattered" in different industries, at various levels of management, in various government programs and subprograms, in the Federal target programs. These documents include the Strategy of innovative development of Russia up to 2020, the State program "Economic development and innovative economy", the State program "Development of science and technology" by 2020 and others. The variety of mechanisms requires their classification and evaluation. There have been considered and systematized mechanisms of involvement of big business in innovation development (using technological platforms, creating business-incubators in the universities, making demand for the innovative product among important government businesses, etc.), analyzed special means of their use, revealed general advantages and drawbacks. Assessment of the quality of such mechanisms is being carried out. Tax service data show inadequate efficiency of tax mechanisms which could be important for big businesses. Issues of stimulating big business by tax encouragement mechanisms and involving it into innovative development require greater attention. There is the need to call for foreign experience of involving big business into innovative development.

Published: December 2017

La problemática actual de la resistencia bacteriana, promovida básicamente por el abu­so en la utilización de antibióticos, lleva a la necesidad de encontrar alternativas terapéuticas más eficaces para enfrentar las infecciones bacterianas. Los aceites esenciales representan una gran herramienta para enfrentar esta crisis. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la interacción farmacodinámica establecida al combinar aceite esencial de Melaleuca armillaris con cloxacilina en busca de un efecto sinérgico que maximice la actividad del antibiótico frente a Staphylococcus aureus. Cepas de referencia y salvajes de dicha especie fueron enfrentadas al extracto vegetal y al antimicrobiano en forma individual y combinada mediante microdilución en caldo, modificando las condiciones del pH para emular el ambiente subcelular. Se determinó la interacción mediante la técnica de tablero de damas o checkerboard, se calculó el índice de concentración fraccionaria inhibitoria y, finalmente, se estableció el índice de actividad antibacteriana de la combinación. Nuestros resultados demuestran una clara actividad antimicrobiana del aceite esencial, que permite reducir las concentraciones mí­nimas inhibitorias del antibiótico betalactámico para el S. aureus. Esta interacción se ve favorecida por la acidificación del medio, lo que permite que menores concentraciones de cloxacilina logren un efecto bactericida, cercano a la erradicación virtual, en presencia de pequeñas cantidades de aceite esencial. Estos hallazgos resultan prometedores para enfrentar infecciones estafilocócicas de difícil resolución.

Published: December 2017

La cerveza es tan antigua como nuestra civilización. En la actualidad ha surgido una gran variedad de cervezas en América del Sur, alguna de ellas con características verdaderamente atípicas o diferentes respecto al concepto clásico, principalmente elaboradas por el sector “micro cervecero” y/o “artesanal”. El presente trabajo consistió en la búsqueda, recopilación y análisis de la normativa técnica-sanitaria vigente en la región. Argentina cuenta con una norma vertical dentro de su Código Alimentario Argentino para cervezas "elaboradas artesanalmente" no debiendo dejar de cumplir con las normas horizontales para cerveza establecidas por MERCOSUR. Brasil y Bolivia cuentan con anteproyectos de normas para definir el producto y los establecimientos; mientras que Colombia contempla un registro de este tipo de productos incluyendo en el rótulo el término “artesanal”. Chile, Ecuador y Perú no cuentan actualmente con ninguna reglamentación que haga referencia a las cervezas elaboradas de forma artesanal. Podemos concluir que sería prudente unificar criterios o establecer parámetros técnicos específicos para las cervezas elaboradas de forma artesanal en la región, sin que esto implique el incumplimiento de la norma general para cerveza, y así resguardar la salud Pública, garantizar una leal competencia entre los elaboradores, y proporcionar información adecuada a los consumidores al momento de la compra a través de la correcta rotulación.

Authors: Sánchez Ricardo Oscar , More Gastón Andres , Eiras Diego Fernando
Published: December 2017

La rangeliosis es una hemoparasitosis causada por Rangelia vitalii y trasmitida por la garrapata Amblyomma aureolatum, que afecta a perros y otros cánidos silvestres. La enfermedad ha sido diagnosticada en Brasil desde principios del siglo XX y recientemente en Argentina y Uruguay, lo que podría indicar un aumento del área de dispersión del parásito en los últimos tiempos. El parásito es un protozoo intracelular Apicomplexa que está emparentado filogenéticamente con Babesia spp. aunque presenta diferencias en su ciclo parasitario. Se han observado formas parasitarias dentro de eritrocitos, monocitos, neutrófilos y en el endotelio capilar de diversos órganos como así también libres en plasma. El presente trabajo describe morfométricamente cuatro formas parasitarias (o estadios), observadas en sangre de caninos naturalmente infectados por Rangelia vitalii en Argentina.
Using English to teach English: Classroom English competence of English language teachers in Vietnam
Authors: Hai Ha Vu
Published: December 2017

The National Foreign Language Project 2020 (Project 2020) has been laying its emphasis on the development of general English language proficiency and English language teaching methods of English language teachers in Vietnamese schools. This article argues that these focuses might overlook an area which is essential for these teachers to use English efficiently in the classrooms: the development of classroom English proficiency. This argument is corroborated by a case study with qualitative data collected from videotaping 113 teachers in their microteaching sessions. It reveals certain limitations in their classroom English competence, especially linguistic and strategic competence. The article concludes by putting forward certain suggestions for Project 2020 as well as future studies to explore other facets of this competence.

Acceptance of ERP Systems: The Uses and Gratifications Theory Perspective
Authors: Hasan Bassam
Published: December 2017

Aim/Purpose: This study aims to provide a better understanding of individual acceptance of enterprise resource (ERP) systems. Based on the uses and gratifications theory (UGT) and informing science theory, the study developed and empirically tested a research model to explain the effects of ERP characteristics (specifically, informativeness and enjoyment) on ERP acceptance and use.

Background: Individual acceptance of ERP systems is crucial for achieving the benefits associated with ERP systems. Unfortunately, little research has focused on acceptance of ERP systems at the individual level. This study attempts to fill this void.

Methodology: A survey questionnaire was distributed to ERP users to collect data to empiri-cally test the research model developed in this study. In addition to demographic and background information question, the survey contained instruments to measure the study variables.

Contribution: The empirical results show that UGT provides a sound theoretical framework for explaining users’ gratifications, attitudes, and behavioral intentions toward adopting and using an ERP. These results support the view that subsumes information systems and other fields that endeavor to inform their audience.

Findings: Individuals’ perceptions of the informativeness and entertainment of ERP systems demonstrated strong direct effects on attitude toward using and satisfaction with ERP systems. In turn, satisfaction with ERP systems showed a direct significant impact on intention to use an ERP system.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Maintaining a favorable environment and designing training workshops that highlight the information and enjoyment aspects of an ERP can boost users’ perceptions of ERP informativeness and enjoyment and, eventually, improve their attitude and satisfaction with an ERP.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should test the proposed research model with other types of ERP systems and in different environments to enhance the generalizability of the results to other systems and settings.

Impact on Society: The results of is study can be used as a foundation on which to develop plans and design strategies to enhance individual acceptance of ERP systems and realize the benefits associated with these systems.

Future Research: Future research should extend the research model by integrating other personal and technology variables to provide further insights into what influences individuals to accept or reject an ERP system.

The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of rigid Polyvinylchloride (PVC-U) pipes to sustain axial loads. The behavior of PVC-U pipes specimens subjected to short-term uniaxial compression loads were experimentally investigated. Results of the load-displacement tests on pipes of different wall thickness, diameter, and specimen heights were recorded. The experimental test results show that the PVC-U pipes are capable of supporting loads greater than the required design load (3.4 kN). Increasing the pipe specimen height decreases the pipe strength for supporting the axial loads.  Euler buckling was observed in the pipe specimens with small diameter and long axial height. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to utilize the ANSYS finite element commercial package to model the pipe system using eight noded brick element and the results were compared with those obtained from the experimental tests. Good agreement was found between the two sets of results, within the elastic range of the load-displacement curve.

Published: December 2017

The optical resonance of a three-level system of the strongly correlated electrons in the twolevel semiconductor quantum dot interacting with the linearly polarized monochromatic electromagnetic radiation is studied. With the application of the Green function method the expressions of the state vectors and the energies of the stationary states of the system in the regime of the optical resonance are derived. The Rabi oscillations of the electron populations at different levels as well as the Rabi splitting of the peaks in the photon emission spectra are investigated.PACS numbers: 71.35.-y, 78.55.-m, 78.67.Hc

Authors: Ahmad A.L. , Puasa S.W. , Abiding S.
Published: December 2017

Ultrafiltration membrane was used to treat the effluent from textile industries. Crossflow ultrafiltration using GN polymeric membrane was used to remove the dye from textile effluent. A synthetic textile effluent of Direct-15 dye was used. The study focused through the effect of feed concentration, transmembrane pressure and solution’s pH on the permeate flux and percentage of dye removal were investigated. Dye concentration had significant effects on flux values. Under the fixed pressures and pH, the flux decreased while the dye rejection increased with increasing feed concentration. Transmembrane pressure also had significant effect on flux values. Under the fixed feed concentration and pH, the flux increased while dye rejection decreased with increasing pressure. Experiment data showed that the highest flux was observed at pH 4 (acidic condition) while the highest dye removal observed at pH 7. Data collection could be used to improve the effectiveness of dye removal from textile industry wastewater using membrane technology.
A Fuzzy Logic Based Method for Analysing Test Results
Authors: Vinh Le Xuan , Quan Tran Hong
Published: December 2017

Network operators must perform many tasks to ensure smooth operation of the network, such as planning, monitoring, etc. Among those tasks, regular testing of network performance, network errors and troubleshooting is very important. Meaningful test results will allow the operators to evaluate network performanceof any shortcomings and to better plan for network upgrade. Due to the diverse and mainly unquantifiable nature of network testing results, there is a needs to develop a method for systematically and rigorously analysing these results.In this paper, we present STAM (System Test-result Analysis Method) which employs a bottom-up hierarchical processing approach using Fuzzy logic. STAM is capable of combining all test results into a quantitative description of the network performance in terms of network stability, the significance of various network erros, performance of each function blocks within the network. The validity of this method has been successfully demonstrated in assisting the testing of a VoIP system at the Research Instiute of Post and Telecoms in Vietnam.The paper is organized as follows. The first section gives an overview of fuzzy logic theory the concepts of which will be used in the development of STAM. The next section describes STAM. The last section, demonstrating STAM’s capability, presents a success story in which STAM is successfully applied.

Sawdust, inexpensive material has been utilized as an absorbent for the removal of iron from aqueous solution for their safe disposal. The adsorption experiments of untreated sawdust (SD) and treated sawdust (SDC) have been carried out at room temperature using the batch test. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to observe sorption phenomena of sawdust in the removal of iron. The results indicate that the sawdust was capable in removing iron in aqueous solution. The results have shown that the Langmuir isotherm was found well fitted into the experimental data as compared to the Freundlich isotherm. It was found that, chemisorptions and physisorption were the prime mechanism for the process of adsorption to occur between the sawdust and iron. The results also proved that the acid sulphuric treated sawdust is much better than that of untreated sawdust as an adsorbent for iron.
Metal Composites Behaviour Under Biaxial Stresses
Authors: Jai J. , Berhan M.N.
Published: December 2017

For this study, different volume fraction (vol.%) of particulate alumina (Al2O3)reinforced aluminium alloy (Al 6061) with 5 vol.%, 15 vol.% and 25 vol.% are produced by powder metallurgy method. These samples were subjected to biaxial stresses in order to investigate the behaviour of the metal matrix composites (MMCs). Microstructure analysis on the individual sample before and after loading was performed under scanning electron microscopy. The small particles of 2 µm in size have exhibited strong interfacial bonding with the matrix. The particles of 5 µm in size have shown fractures and debonding interface. Large particles of above 20 µm in size have revealed severe fractures and particles pulled out. Behavior of the MMC was explained by relating the microstructures and displacement directions of the undeformed and deformed samples. Some understandings on the behaviour of the MMCs with different vol.% of Al2O3 due to biaxial stresses have been established.

A COMPARISON OF THE PUSH AND PULL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AT THEIR OPTI MAL DESIGNS UNDER THE ECONOMIC CONSIDERATION
Authors: Chiadamrong N. , Kohly P.
Published: December 2017

The term “push” and “pull” have been used to explain a wide variety of production inventory systems. The distinction refers to a specific attribute, which can be identified by observing the mechanisms for controlling material flow on the shop floor and a specific policy for the management of inventories and production schedules. This paper gives an attempt to compare these systems under their optimal settings under a constraint resource. Two optimal-seeking methods (Taguchi method and Response Surface Methodology) are used to suggest the optimized design of the system under an economic term, which is the profit generated from the system. Then, a fair comparison can be made where each system is operating at its optimal design. Results from this study will reveal an in teresting outcome, letting us know the impact of the push and pull mechanisms on the systems’ operating costs as well as their profits.
