Abstract
The article is devote to the study of the global market of logistics services. The main issues on the containerization of international cargo transportation, as well as on the improvement of the development of multimodal transportation on their basis are the most important and priority in the state transport policy of all major exporters and importers in the international trade market. The approaches to the implementation of the concept of container traffic with the participation of various types of transport in various countries are investigate. In connection with the sanctions imposed by the West, cargo turnover has increased significantly, primarily with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Most of the goods transported to the Russian Federation in the most convenient, versatile and reliable way - through container shipments. However, the infrastructure and experience of many Russian participants in the container business turned out to be unprepared for such a development of events, and often the distrust of many foreign companies becomes an insurmountable obstacle to the further rapid growth of the Russian economy. Customers of large projects and international organizations wishing to see an assistant and reliable partner in the logistics operator periodically meet with an unprofessional approach and suffer losses where they should not be. They can guarantee the acceleration of cargo traffic and product distribution, increased safety of the goods transported while reducing the requirements for their packaging, facilitating workflow and other factors.

Abstract
The relevance of the scientific article is because the growth rate of export shipments of container trains is increasing, and the transport infrastructure is developing. The article is devoted to the organization of containerized export transportation of goods from Russia to China. The transit, domestic, import and export transportation of containers carried out along the main railway of Russia - along the Trans-Siberian Railway (Great Siberian Route). Transition of the document flow of participants of foreign economic activity into electronic form with the possibility of using electronic signatures, as well as maintaining a register of all documents using the Internet platform, will allow customs authorities to track the legitimacy of companies. Since rail transport at this stage of development still belongs to the branches of the natural monopoly, the character and completeness of the regulation of tariffs for freight rail transportation is of no small importance in improving tariffs. The article explores the main advantages in organizing rail container transportation. Lists the services that include the rate of export of goods from Moscow to Shanghai by rail. Also, services that are not included in the calculation of rates. “Drop Off Charges” rates are presented depending on the place of departure and the place of delivery of the empty container. On the example of the Trade Logistic company, an algorithm is proposed for calculating the rate for sending one container from the Bazaikha station from the Trade Logistic company.

To a question of the setting of measures for culvert repair during technical inspection
Authors: Karpushko M O , Bartolomei I L , Karpushko E N 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Culvert pipes are one of the largest categories of engineering structures on roads of both regional and federal significance. During operation, the structure is affected by static and dynamic loads, for example, from the weight of the dam and passing vehicles, temperature changes, melt, and rainwater is directly flowing through the pipe, streams and small rivers, as well as geological factors - earthquakes, shifts, and vibrations ground. Also, over time, the installed reinforced concrete sections of the conduit have a habit of shifting in horizontal and vertical directions under the influence of various kinds of loads, which leads to the formation of gaps and differences between them. Swings reduce the effective cross-section of the pipe, throughput, and lead to silting. Under flood conditions, the presence of discrepancies between the links of the tube leads to significant erosion, leaving voids in the dam, which is fraught with the collapse of the roadbed and road pavement, and in such situation, it is impossible to talk about the possibility of road operation as a whole. The traditional effective solution to this problem is culvert repair. Identifying the need for repair or reconstruction of the structure is the primary purpose of assessing the technical condition during the professional inspection of culverts.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
Mass housing does not satisfy energy efficiency. This article proposes a system of social ecological economic factors in assessing the housing construction energy efficiency. A performance evaluation criteria list has been developed. This toolkit consists of 4 groups. The authors of the given work have made an attempt to develop an inventory for evaluating the energy efficiency projects. The social ecological economic factors are taken into account in opposition of other assessment systems. The housing construction projects evaluation is based on the costs spent during the building life cycle. This criterion can be considered by the construction investors when making the projects decisions.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The problems of the household garbage and industrial wastes utilization are currently central in the regions with a high concentration of population and production. This region in the South of Russia is the Rostov region. The industrial specialization of economy, intensive agriculture, the saturation of infrastructure facilities and high with a predominance of cities are the factors, causing the waste production and consumption large volumes formation in the Rostov region. Since 2018 the process of reforming the waste disposal system has been carried out in the Rostov region, as well as in other regions of Russia. Instead of landfills, where production and consumption wastes were simply stored and buried, the innovative technical and ecological chain, allowing the processing of garbage and recycling of waste, is being created in the region. The waste management reform involves the creation of 8 inter-municipal ecological waste-treatment complexes in the Rostov region, including solid household waste landfills, waste sorting plants, waste transfer stations and other infrastructure facilities for the waste management. At the same time, this reform faces a number of organizational, managerial, engineering, economic, environmental and socio-psychological problems. The essence and problems of the waste disposal system reform in the Rostov region, the reasons and possible ways of the decision the general assessment of efficiency of the developed scheme of utilization of waste a way of the solution of a problem of accumulation and removal of garbage in the region are considered in this article.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
In view of enhanced bioactivity and photocatalytic applications, the doped material has gained much attention and present study was focused on the preparation of Zn doped WO3 (Zn–d–WO3) via precipitation method. The prepared Zn–d–WO3 was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX). The effect of Zn concentration was studied on antibacterial, antifungal and photocatalytic activities along with structural and morphological variation. The Zn–d–WO3 was triclinic, spherical and rod shaped and particle size was decreased as the Zn concentration increased. The antimicrobial activity of Zn–d–WO3 was evaluated against a panel of bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pasturellamu ltocida, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium notatum). The Zn–d–WO3 showed promising antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 211–387 (μg ml−1), whereas the antifungal activity was less than the standard (Fluconazole), which revealed that the Zn–d–WO3 are highly active against bacterial strains since activity was comparable with standard drug (Rifampicin). The photocatalytic activity (PCA) was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution and dye degradation of 78% and 92% was achieved in 120 min under visible and UV irradiation, respectively. Results revealed that the Zn–d–WO3 could possibly be used as photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes in wastewater.
Photoionization model for streamer propagation mode change in simulation model for streamers in dielectric liquids
Authors: Madshaven I , Hestad OL , Unge M , Hjortstam O , Åstrand PO 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Radiation is important for the propagation of streamers in dielectric liquids. Photoionization is a possibility, but the effect is difficult to differentiate from other contributions. In this work, we model radiation from the streamer head, causing photoionization when absorbed in the liquid. We find that photoionization is local in space (μm-scale). The radiation absorption cross section is modeled considering that the ionization potential (IP) is dependent on the electric field. The result is a steep increase in the ionization rate when the electric field reduces the IP below the energy of the first electronically excited state, which is interpreted as a possible mechanism for changing from slow to fast streamers. By combining a simulation model for slow streamers based on the avalanche mechanism with a change to fast mode based on a photoionization threshold for the electric field, we demonstrate how the conductivity of the streamer channel can be important for switching between slow and fast streamer propagation modes.
Calling for More Consistency, Refinement, and Critical Consideration in the Use of Syntactic Complexity Measures for Writing
Authors: Deng Yaochen , Lei Lei , Liu Dilin 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In the past two decades, syntactic complexity measures (e.g. the length or number of words per clause/t-unit/sentences and number of clauses per t-unit/sentence, and types of clauses used) have been widely used to determine and benchmark language proficiency development in speaking and writing. (Norris and Ortega 2009; Lu 2011). However, the results of some recent studies (e.g. Lu 2011; Bulté and Housen 2014; Crossley and McNamara 2014) have raised questions about the earlier findings regarding the use of such complexity measures in assessing L2 writing. While a couple of plausible explanations have been proposed for the conflicting findings, they have failed to look at the syntactic measures themselves as likely sources causing the discrepancies in the research findings. In this forum piece, we would like to argue, with empirical evidence, that the conflicting research results might have resulted from issues with some of the existing measurements of clausal and phrasal sophistication, including inconsistency and lack of necessary fine-grained differentiation in the measurements of subordination sophistication and possible inappropriate use of high values of phrasal sophistication.
Neural Dedifferentiation across the Lifespan in the Motor and Somatosensory Systems
Authors: Cassady Kaitlin , Ruitenberg Marit F L , Reuter-Lorenz Patricia A , Tommerdahl Mark , Seidler Rachael D 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Age-related declines in sensorimotor performance have been linked to dedifferentiation of neural representations (i.e., more widespread activity during task performance in older versus younger adults). However, it remains unclear whether changes in neural representations across the adult lifespan are related between the motor and somatosensory systems, and whether alterations in these representations are associated with age declines in motor and somatosensory performance. To investigate these issues, we collected functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioral data while participants aged 19–76 years performed a visuomotor tapping task or received vibrotactile stimulation. Despite one finding indicative of compensatory mechanisms with older age, we generally observed that 1) older age was associated with greater activity and stronger positive connectivity within sensorimotor and LOC regions during both visuomotor and vibrotactile tasks; 2) increased activation and stronger positive connectivity were associated with worse performance; and 3) age differences in connectivity in the motor system correlated with those in the somatosensory system. Notwithstanding the difficulty of disentangling the relationships between age, brain, and behavioral measures, these results provide novel evidence for neural dedifferentiation across the adult lifespan in both motor and somatosensory systems and suggest that dedifferentiation in these two systems is related.
Varieties of capitalism, increasing income inequality and the sustainability of long-run growth
Authors: Setterfield Mark , Kim Yun K 
Published: December 2019

AbstractWe model US household debt accumulation during the neoliberal boom (1990–2007) as a response to emulation effects and the decline of the social wage, which has ‘privatised’ an increasing share of the costs of providing for services such as health and education. The debt dynamics of the US economy are then studied under alternative assumptions about the configuration of distributional variables, which is shown to differ across varieties of capitalism that have ‘neoliberalised’ to different degrees. A key result is that distributional change alone will not make contemporary US capitalism financially sustainable due, in part, to the paradoxical nature of inequality as a spur to household borrowing, and hence a source of both demand-formation and financial fragility. Achieving sustainability requires, instead, more wide-ranging reform.
