description: Embedded laminated connection (ELC) is a novel type of connection in structural glass and its application increases the transparency and surface flatness of structural glass elements. In this study, laboratory tests have been conducted to investigate the mechanical behavior of embedded laminated connections. Two groups of ELC, i.e. ELC laminated with triple annealed glass layers (TA-ELC), ELC laminated with double outmost tempered glass layers and one mid annealed glass layer (DT-ELC). The data of the pull-out force and displacement of the ELC under the pull-out load was collected and analyzed. The experimental results reveal that the TA-ELC group exhibits brittle failure, whereas DT-ELC group significantly improves the maximum loading capacity. Compared to TA-ELC group, the outmost tempered glass layers in DT-ELC group can render greater ductility. The study also indicates that the crack initiation as well as the final failure of the TA-ELC are both induced in the outmost glass layers. The crack initiation of the DT-ELC is firstly observed in the mid glass layer and the final cracking at failure is generated in the outmost glass layers. A numerical study was also performed to simulate the entire failure process. It is then found that materials in TA-ELC group keeps behaving in an elastic manner before the crack initiation. In DT-ELC, the stable stage of the pull-out force is caused by the yielding of SG layers.

description: Introduction: The global burden of cirrhosis is rising, and clinicians increasingly face the challenge of safely prescribing medicines for complications of hepatic disease and comorbidities. Prescribing in patients with cirrhosis is complicated by alterations that can occur in the pharmacology of medicines. Areas covered: This paper provides an overview of current knowledge on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medicines in patients with cirrhosis. We describe the pathophysiological changes that occur and their consequences on pharmacokinetic parameters. We explain that the influence of cirrhosis on the pharmacokinetics depends on several drug and patient characteristics. Patients with cirrhosis also have an increased susceptibility to some toxicological effects of medicines, such as renal impairment and hematological toxicity, which we describe in detail. In addition, we discuss approaches to apply this knowledge in practice and improve safe medication use in patients with cirrhosis. Expert opinion: Tailored pharmacotherapy is needed to ensure safe and appropriate use of medicines in patients with cirrhosis. Clinicians are supported by freely available recommendations on safe drug use in cirrhosis published on a website. In addition, a regular evaluation of medication use in patients with cirrhosis could resolve and prevent medication-related problems.

description: In recent years, architects, as well as customers, have been increasingly interested in glass structures. Glass is used except facades also for canopies above building entrances, bannisters, staircases or load-bearing structural elements such as beams or columns. Glass is a brittle material with elastic behaviour until brittle failure so particular attention should be paid to details and connections of glass with glass or glass with other material. This article is focused on double-lap shear glass-metal joint using a two-component acrylic adhesive. In addition to glass, two different materials were included in the experimental programme, Zn-electroplated steel and aluminium. Totally four sets of specimens were tested. Three sets of specimens are differing in adhesive thickness layer. The last set of specimens was tested at elevated temperature.

description: We conduct experiments with human subjects in a model with a positive production externality in which productivity is a non-decreasing function of the average level of employment of other firms. The model has three steady states: the low and high steady states are expectationally stable (E-stable), and thus locally stable under learning, while the middle steady state is not E-stable. There also exists a locally E-stable sunspot equilibrium that fluctuates between the high and low steady states. Steady states are payoff ranked: low values give lower profits than higher values.

We investigate whether subjects in our experimental economies can learn a sunspot equilibrium. Our experimental design has two treatments: one in which payoff is based on the firm’s profits, and the other in which payoff is based on the forecast squared error. We observe coordination on the extrinsic announcements in both treatments. In the treatments with forecast squared error, the average employment and average forecasts of subjects are closer to the equilibrium corresponding to the announcement. Cases of apparent convergence to the low and high steady states are also observed.
description: Dans le cadre d’expériences effectuées à l’aide de sujets humains, les auteurs étudient un modèle comportant une externalité de production positive, dans lequel la productivité d’une entreprise est une fonction non décroissante du niveau moyen de l’emploi dans les autres firmes. Le modèle distingue trois états stationnaires : deux (bas et haut) qui sont stables sous anticipations (A-stables) - et par conséquent localement stables sous apprentissage - et un état stationnaire intermédiaire qui n’est pas A-stable. Il existe également un équilibre à « taches solaires » présentant une A-stabilité locale, lequel fluctue entre les deux états stationnaires limites (bas et haut). Les états stationnaires sont ordonnés en fonction du gain obtenu, les profits étant faibles ou élevés selon que le niveau d’emploi est bas ou haut.

Les auteurs examinent si les sujets participants à l’expérience peuvent apprendre d’un équilibre à « taches solaires ». Deux situations sont envisagées : dans l’une, les gains dépendent des profits de l’entreprise; dans l’autre, de l’erreur quadratique de prévision. Les auteurs constatent que dans les deux cas, les sujets coordonnent leurs anticipations sur les annonces extrinsèques. Dans la situation où les gains sont liés à l’erreur quadratique de prévision, le niveau moyen de l’emploi et la moyenne des prévisions des sujets sont plus proches de l’équilibre correspondant à l’annonce. Les auteurs observent aussi des cas de convergence apparente vers les deux états stationnaires limites.

description: В данной статье рассматривается образ русалки-утопленницы в русской романтической литературе. Чтобы описать образ русалки в русском романтизме, мы сначала определили особенности образа фольклорной русалки, а потом сравнили литературную русалку с фольклорным первоисточником и проанализировали их сходства и различия. В результате сравнения и анализа образа русалки в фольклоре и литературе мы выяснили, что в каждом произведении литературная русалка имеет фольклорные отличительные особенности. Кроме того, произведения, в которых появляется русалка, делятся на два типа: в одних не изображается внутренний мир русалки, а в других показан подробно. В статье обращается особое внимание на три произведения, в которых фигурирует мотив мести – А.С. Пушкин «Русалка» (1832), О.М. Сомов «Русалка. Малороссийское предание» (1829) и Н.В. Гоголь «Майская ночь, или Утопленница» (1831). В этих трех произведениях то, что героиня бросается в воду, играет важную роль. С помощью этого мотива, заимствованного из фольклора и переосмысленного литературной традицией романтизма, девушки переходят из земного мира (мира живых) в водный (мир мертвых) и перевоплощаются в русалок. Это символизирует их освобождение от «правила». Здесь «правило» обозначает иерархию человеческих отношений. С помощью перевоплощения в русалок у девушек получается освободиться от «правила», которому они подчинялись при жизни.

description: В статье имена собственные, функционирующие в художественном тексте – историческом романе Алексея Константиновича Толстого (1817–1875) «Князь Серебряный» (конец 1840-х – 1861), – рассмотрены с учетом традиций и новаций литературной ономастики: системного подхода к языку художественного произведения и современных тенденций в поэтонимологии. В работе раскрываются результаты изучения функционирования поэтонимов с точки зрения парадигматической составляющей системного подхода. В частности, выявлен и систематизирован полный состав ономастического пространства романа с частотной характеристикой каждого элемента; массив собственных имен описан типологически; учтены все способы номинации одного референта; поэтонимы рассмотрены с учетом их роли в развитии сюжета романа, семантической композиции, цельности и связности художественного текста. В статье применяется отражающая современные тенденции ономастическая терминология, подчеркивающая омонимичность реальных имен и имен художественного текста. В результате получены новые данные о специфике поэтонимосферы романа «Князь Серебряный», которая никогда ранее не изучалась.

description: Chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is causing sharp declines in amphibian populations around the globe. A substantial research effort has been made to study the disease, including treatments against Bd, but most treatments have been applied to captive amphibians only. We report a study aimed at clearing wild populations of the Common Midwife toad Alytes obstetricans. We removed all larvae from natural breeding sites (cattle troughs) and conducted two types of severe breeding habitat manipulation (complete drying and fencing for the whole breeding season). While larval removal followed by drying was a successful method of Bd elimination, the effect was only temporary. Since terrestrial habits of adult A. obstetricans prevent them from infection, our findings suggest that, even in simple breeding habitats where all aquatic amphibian stages can be handled and extreme habitat intervention is possible, Bd cannot be eliminated without controlling other potential Bd reservoirs in the surroundings of breeding sites.

description: Проведенное исследование позволило установить, что в статье «Поэзия заговоров и заклинаний» присутствует эзотерический подтекст, ранее не замеченный исследователями творчества Блока. По своей образной структуре и стилистике статья имеет общие черты с магическими текстами фольклора, которые в ней рассматриваются. Описание русских заговоров в статье строится как своеобразное путешествие в воображаемом пространстве или подъем «по лестнице заклинаний», а заканчивается тем, что автор и его читатель как бы обретают главную тайну русских заговоров – загадочный камень Алатырь, который является и источником мистического света, и христианским алтарем-жертвенником. В своей статье Блок показал, что магическое воздействие заговоров имеет реальный характер и обусловлено тем, что колдун вкладывает в исполнение заговоров свои желания и волю, которые в силах воздействовать на живую природу. Превращение слова в действие Блок объясняет как результат экстатического слияния воли заклинателя с волей природы. Показано влияние идей и литературы русского символизма на эзотерический подтекст фольклористической статьи Блока. Исследование «Поэзии заговоров и заклинаний» открывает новые возможности для установления ряда параллелей между лирическим творчеством Блока и русскими заговорами, примеры таких параллелей рассмотрены в данной работе. Приведена обширная библиография по теме исследования.

Simulation Tool for the Analysis of Simple Flat and Cylindrical Insulated Glass Units
Creators: name: Colldecarrera, Tomàs
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: A simulation tool for simple flat and cylindrical insulated glass units (IGUs) has been developed using VBA code included on Excel and RF-COM, the programmable COM Interface for the RFEM of Dlubal. The software allows the non-linear computational analysis of rectangular flat panels and cylindrical IGUs considering the monolithic equivalent thickness of the inner and outer glass panel. The sealant silicone elastic properties can be defined by the users, including, if necessary, the rotational stiffness. Climatic load and superficial uniform loads (typically wind loads) can be defined. The tool automatically generates the inner and outer glass panels with shell elements and the boundary conditions in RFEM. Both panels are connected all along the perimeter by means of spring elements with the equivalent stiffness of the silicone. The internal pressure due to climatic loads and the distribution of the superficial uniform loads are automatically calculated by means of an iterative method. This method, published for other authors in the recent past, considers the bending stiffness of both glass panels and the silicone for the definition of the resultant load. The results of the simulations have been successfully correlated with the commercial software SJ-MEPLA for flat panels and ANSYS Workbench 19.0 for flat and cylindrical panels, in this case, modelling the air cavity with a 3D hydrostatic fluid element (HSFLD242). The simulation tool provides an accurate definition of the internal pressure, deflection and stress on glass panels and forces through the sealant silicone with a reduced pre-post and calculation time, being ideal for parametric studies.

description: The Austrian Rural Development Programme of the current period 2000 - 2006 includes the measure "Vocational training" to improve the qualification of persons involved in agriculture and forestry as well as to help them convert their operations to other uses. The educational measures play an important role in the implementation of the whole programme, and the acceptance of the programme rises due to the accompanying education and training measures. Firstly, the measure "Vocational training" is designed to support their participation in training and qualification courses (participant support) and, secondly, it was developed to provide assistance in the preparation, implementation, processing and postprocessing of training and courses (support provided to educational institutions). Between 2000 and 2004, as much as 0.6% of the total funds of the rural development programme was spent on the "vocational training" measure. Total costs of 53.8 million euros were borne by the EU (28%), by the Austrian Federal Government (17%) and by the provincial governments (11%) - while the remaining 44% were contributed by the applicants themselves. 63% of the supported participants were males, but they received only 58% of the subsidies. The majority of participants attended computer - and telecommunication courses, courses in animal production and business management. The participants' were predominantly in the age between 35 and 49 years and nearly all of the participants were farm managers. The evaluation results suggest that the range of beneficiaries should be widened, and that there should be an increased support given to women and young people as well as higher endowments granted for vocational training. Additionally, the results make it clear that high-quality data are absolutely vital to achieve meaningful evaluations.
«ПЛЕМЯ ЖЕН МУЖЕПОХОЖИХ»: ВОИТЕЛЬНИЦЫ И АНДРОГИНЫ В ТВОРЧЕСТВЕ ЛЮБОВИ СТОЛИЦЫ. Статья первая

description: В первой статье двухчастного цикла, посвященного исследованию образов воительницы и андрогина в творчестве полузабытой поэтессы Серебряного века Любови Столицы, ставится вопрос о воительнице как гендерно неоднозначной фигуре, апроприирующей традиционнейшую маскулинную роль патриархатной культуры, т.е. роль воина. Демонстрируется, что в творчестве Столицы воительница появляется многократно и в разных обличьях (амазонки, богиня Афина, русские богатырки, Жанна д’Арк, воительницы времен воображаемого «матриархата», амазоноподобные дивы в «Песни о Золотой Олоне», «девица-доброволец» Первой мировой). Доказывается, что наряду с «женской» андрогинной фигурой у Столицы присутствует и «мужская», причем константной сюжетной ситуацией является любовь ангелоподобного женственного юноши и «мужепохожей» женщины. Анализируются такие особенности творческого мира Любови Столицы, как гендерные перевертыши и понимание женской роли как роли сильного. Устанавливается, что образ воительницы возникает в произведениях Столицы в связи с тремя основными темами. Во-первых, это «женский вопрос» и рефлексия писательницы о месте и возможностях женщины, по ее мнению, явно недооцененных. Во-вторых, это тема женского творчества и женской авторской субъектности, т.е. автометарефлексивный контекст. В-третьих, это утопически-эсхатологическая проблематика: вслед за А. Блоком и А. Белым – двумя важнейшими для Столицы представителями русского символизма, писательница репрезентирует воительницу как одно из воплощений Мировой Души, Софии, спасающей мир, чей образ восходит к гностическому мифу.

description: LEADER started as a Community Initiative in the European Union in 1991 and has had positive results in rural development in the EU-15, especially on social capital. It is important to emphasise that rural development plans must be prepared at the local level, and LEADER funds are available only for those groups who are able to bring together different partners from the region. In Hungary, during the evaluation process 32 points from 100 were given for the LEADER features in the plan. This study examines the introduction of LEADER in Hajdu-Bihar county, Hungary. Earlier research in this county had revealed a low level of social resources. Interviews were conducted with the four local actions groups awarded EUfunding in 2006. The answers obtained underline the role of LEADER on the encouragement of partnership working at the start of the programme. As the application of the programme only began during summer 2006, a final assessment of the effect of LEADER on social capital can be made only at the end of the first call in 2008.

description: The International Space Station (ISS) is an unparalleled laboratory for studying colloidal suspensions in microgravity. The first colloidal experiments on the ISS involved passive observation of suspended particles, and current experiments are now capable of observation under controlled environmental conditions; for example, under heating or under externally applied magnetic or electric fields. Here, we describe the design of a holographic optical tweezers (HOT) module for the ISS, with the goal of giving ISS researchers the ability to actively control 3D arrangements of particles, allowing them to initialize and perform repeatable experiments. We discuss the design's modifications to the basic HOT module hardware to allow for operation in a high-vibration, microgravity environment. We also discuss the module's planned particle tracking and routing capabilities, which will enable the module to remotely perform pre-programmed colloidal and biological experiments. The HOT module's capabilities can be expanded or upgraded through software alone, providing a unique platform for optical trapping researchers to test new tweezing beam configurations and routines in microgravity.

description: We report the results of applying the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (TF) relations to study the galaxy bulk flows. For 1141 all-sky distributed flat RFGC galaxies we construct J, H, K_s TF relations and find that Kron $J_{fe}$ magnitudes show the smallest dispersion on the TF diagram. For the sample of 971 RFGC galaxies with V_{3K} < 18000 km/s we find a dispersion $σ_{TF}=0.42^m$ and an amplitude of bulk flow V= 199 +/-61 km/s, directed towards l=301 degr +/-18 degr, b=-2 degr +/-15 degr. Our determination of low-amplitude coherent flow is in good agreement with a set of recent data derived from EFAR, PSCz, SCI/SCII samples. The resultant two- dimensional smoothed peculiar velocity field traces well the large-scale density variations in the galaxy distributions. The regions of large positive peculiar velocities lie in the direction of the Great Attractor and Shapley concentration. A significant negative peculiar velocity is seen in the direction of Bootes and in the direction of the Local void. A small positive peculiar velocity (100 -- 150 km/s) is seen towards the Pisces-Perseus supercluster, as well as the Hercules - Coma - Corona Borealis supercluster regions.

description: Double Glazed Units (DGUs) consist of two glass panes held together by structural edge seals. Calculation methods for DGUs consider that actions applied on one pane develop effects in all the panes, due to the coupling from the entrapped gas. Various methods have been proposed in standards to evaluate this load sharing, which depends upon the stiffness of the glass panes, the thicknesses of spacer and the size of the DGU. A comprehensive analytical formulation, the Betti’s Analytical Method (BAM), has been recently proposed to calculate the load sharing in DGUs of any shape, composed by glass panes of arbitrary thickness, with various support conditions at the borders and various types of external actions, including concentrated and line loads. Simple expressions can determine the gas pressure as a function of a universal shape function, which coincides with the deformed surface of a simply supported plate, of the same shape of the DGU, under uniformly distributed load. Here, comparisons are made with numerical analyses, performed by implementing an ad hoc routine in the software Straus7, developed by Maffeis Engineering, where the deflection of the glass panels is iteratively calculated, until the volume enclosed reaches a value compatible with the pressure exerted by the gas. The numerical routine, that is part of an integrated parametric approach to the façades design, allows precise calculations for any kind of build-up, panel shapes and load conditions.

Interestingly, films of Sn0.95Co0.05O2-d grown on R-plane sapphire not only exhibit ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature close to 650 K, but also a giant magnetic moment of about 7 Bohr-Magneton/Co, not yet reported in any diluted magnetic semiconductor system. The films are semiconducting and optically highly transparent.

description: We develop a finite-sample procedure to test for mean-variance efficiency and spanning without imposing any parametric assumptions on the distribution of model disturbances. In so doing, we provide an exact distribution-free method to test uniform linear restrictions in multivariate linear regression models. The framework allows for unknown forms of non-normalities, and time-varying conditional variances and covariances among the model disturbances. We derive exact bounds on the null distribution of joint F statistics in order to deal with the presence of nuisance parameters, and we show how to implement the resulting generalized non-parametric bounds tests with Monte Carlo resampling techniques. In sharp contrast to the usual tests that are not computable when the number of test assets is too large, the power of the new test procedure potentially increases along both the time and cross-sectional dimensions.
description: Les auteurs élaborent une procédure permettant de tester, en échantillon fini, si un portefeuille est efficient dans le plan moyenne-variance et si son efficience peut être améliorée par l’addition d’actifs sans qu’il soit nécessaire de fixer par hypothèse la distribution des erreurs du modèle. Leur méthode non paramétrique peut servir à tester de façon exacte des restrictions uniformes linéaires dans le cadre de modèles de régression linéaires multivariés. La procédure autorise des formes inconnues de distribution autres que la loi normale ainsi que la variabilité dans le temps des variances et covariances conditionnelles des erreurs. Les auteurs calculent des bornes exactes pour la distribution conjointe des statistiques de Fisher sous l’hypothèse nulle en présence de paramètres de nuisance. Ils montrent aussi comment mettre en oeuvre, au moyen de techniques de rééchantillonnage à la Monte-Carlo, les tests de bornes non paramétriques généralisés qui en résultent. La puissance de la nouvelle procédure peut s’accroître avec l’allongement de la série temporelle et la hausse du nombre des actifs. Cette propriété tranche avec les tests habituels, qui deviennent inexécutables si le nombre d’actifs est trop élevé.

description: We present HST/WFPC2 observations of a sample of 134 ultra-cool objects (spectral types later than M7) coming from the DENIS, 2MASS and SDSS surveys, with distances estimated to range from 7 pc to 105 pc. Fifteen new ultra-cool binary candidates are reported here. Eleven known binaries are confirmed and orbital motion is detected in some of them. We estimate that the closest binary systems in this sample have periods between 5 and 20 years, and thus dynamical masses will be derived in the near future. For the calculation of binary frequency we restrict ourselves to systems with distances less than 20 pc. After correction of the binaries bias, we find a ratio of visual binaries (at the HST limit of detection) of around 10%, and that ~15% of the 26 objects within 20 parsecs are binary systems with separations between 1 and 8 A.U. The observed frequency of ultra-cool binaries is similar than that of binaries with G-type primaries in the separation range from 2.1 A.U. to 140 A.U. There is also a clear deficit of ultra-cool binaries with separations greater than 15 A.U., and a possible tendency for the binaries to have mass ratios near unity. Most systems have indeed visual and near-infrared brightness ratios between 1 and 0.3. We discuss our results in the framework of current scenarios for the formation and evolution of free-floating brown dwarfs.

description: The 2007-13 EU rural development framework is expected to reinforce endogenous development forces in European mountainous zones, mainly in peripheral rural areas, by strengthening a number of measures of the 1999 Regulation. This paper attempts to examine the prospects of the second pillar's impact on the mountainous region of Parnonas in southern Greece. This is done by assessing the efficiency of EU structural programmes in the last two programming periods (mainly of LEADER II and LEADER+) in transforming the region's original handicaps (depopulation, lack of infrastructure and human capital development, decline of agricultural activities, degradation of environment and landscape) into opportunities for sustained socio-economic growth (promoting agro-tourism & recreation, high-value farm products suitable for small scale farming and niche markets, traditional crafts). The methodology involves the use of data and other information provided by published reports and experts from the local development company Parnonas, by local people and local authorities. The results indicate that steps towards the adoption of the new model have indeed been taken, but there is still a long way until sustainable development in the region can be achieved.
«Я ПИШУ НЕ ЗАКАЗНУЮ ПЬЕСУ, А НЕЧТО СВОЕ»: ДРАМА Б.Л. ПАСТЕРНАКА «ЭТОТ СВЕТ» КАК ВЕХА НА ПУТИ К «ДОКТОРУ ЖИВАГО»

description: В статье изучается малоисследованная пьеса Б.Л. Пастернака 1942 г. «Этот свет». Именем главного персонажа драмы – «Иннокентием Дудоровым» – автор предполагал назвать создаваемый роман (1947). Поэтика данного заглавия указывает на взаимосвязь между «Этим светом» и «Доктором Живаго». Образы некоторых героев романа зародились в этой пьесе (Друзякина / Безочередева и др.). Взгляд Дудорова в драме на революцию и Великую Отечественную войну раскрывает мировоззрение Пастернака в годы, непосредственно предшествующие созданию романа. Сходные лексико-стилистические приемы в изображении героев из народа, а также мифопоэтические и библейские мотивы сближают «Этот свет» и «Доктора Живаго». На основе проведенного исследования обосновано существование сюжетных инвариантов в «Записках Патрика», «Этом свете» и «Докторе Живаго». Образ Иннокентия Дудорова рассмотрен в процессе эволюции в трех упомянутых произведениях. Поочередную смену заглавий романа «Мальчики и девочки», «Иннокентий Дудоров» и «Смерти не будет» предлагается рассматривать в свете переноса акцента с судьбы поколения Пастернака 1890-х гг. на бессмертие творчества. В статье впервые публикуются выдержки из письма П.А. Васильева с фронта Б.Л. Пастернаку (1944).

description: Introduction: Optimal language progress requires language teachers to understand students’ learning styles (LSs). This study had two main purposes; first, to explore the suitability of the Willing’s (1988) questionnaire in the context of Shiraz, Iran; and second, to investigate the preferences for computer-based learning (CBL) as compared to the traditional face-to-face (FTF) learning among Iranian secondary school male seniors.
Methodology: A positivist approach was adopted with an ex-post facto design and a multistage sampling survey questionnaire. The participants were 235 secondary school male seniors from the CBL and FTF contexts. Through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), two items were removed due to low loading factor which resulted in utilizing 22 items in this study.
Results and discussion: The CFA validation process revealed that composite reliability (CR) of the four LSs constructs were above the acceptable range (i.e., .70) meaning that the Willing’s questionnaire was appropriate for application to the target population. The preferences for LSs were varied among the CBL and FTF students. The difference between the mean scores of LSs preferences between the CBL and FTF students was not statistically significant. The CBL senior students used proper LSs to meet the requirements of the new learning context.
Conclusion and/or recommendations: This study showed how CFA could increase the questionnaire validity. The CBL students also attempted to tune up their LSs in a technologybased environment. Teachers have to understand the importance of adjusting their teaching styles and learning materials with students’ LSs. Policy makers should also consider different syllabus, curricula and content for the different learning contexts. The research findings suggest the replication of a similar study in a wider context, involving both genders, in Iran and or in other countries including Malaysia.
Effects of Humidity and the Presence of Moisture at the Bond-line on the Interfacial Separation of Laminated Glass for Flat Glass Re-use

description: The built environment is under scrutiny to address environmental design challenges by considering a whole-life holistic approach that seeks reductions in operational emissions whilst simultaneously pursuing reductions in embodied emissions. Reduced embodied emissions can be found through the responsible sourcing of resources and re-use of materials in their highest obtainable value. Laminated glass is used widely within the building industry for improving security and for reducing the risk of human injury from glass fracture. At present, few options exist for the re-use and high-value re-cycling of laminated glass; it is most commonly disposed of in landfill or down-cycled into aggregate material due to its low perceived value at end-of-life. Whilst some efforts have been made to separate the poly-vinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer from glass in the automotive industry, such processes typically involve destructive crushing of the glass sheets and residual glass that is not at a high enough purity to be considered for re-cycling as cullet for visual glass applications. A more effective removal of the PVB-interlayer through severing of the PVB-glass interfacial bonds, would allow flat glass from existing laminated glass panels to be re-conditioned to fulfil the latest functional requirements in architectural glass. Whilst the temperature and strain rate dependency of the PVB-interlayer material itself has been well-researched, the fundamental nature of the interfacial bonding between glass and PVB, governed by initial processing, is not well-understood. This paper presents findings from the latest experimental research that explores methods of separating 2.9 mm x 100 mm x 150 mm flat glass sheets from a 0.38mm PVB-interlayer for flat glass re-use and/or re-cycling of glass sheets at their highest obtainable value at end-of-life. A bespoke standardised test has been developed by the authors inspired by the compressive shear test, to evaluate methods for achieving separation between the interlayer and glass on a small-scale. Tests were conducted at room temperature to evaluate the effects of varying displacement rate (0.125mm/min, 0.5mm/min and 1.0mm/min), humidity exposure and the influence of water infiltration along the bond line. It was found that the influence of humidity-ageing and water infiltration along the glass-interlayer interface during separation led to a greater proportion of delaminated area compared to the un-aged samples. The greater proportion of delaminated area was found to be a result of a mixture of the effects of a change in the bulk material properties of the interlayer and the intrinsic value of interfacial adhesion.

description: In automatic speech recognition, often little training data is available for specific challenging tasks, but training of state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition systems requires large amounts of annotated speech. To address this issue, we propose a two-staged approach to acoustic modeling that combines noise and reverberation data augmentation with transfer learning to robustly address challenges such as difficult acoustic recording conditions, spontaneous speech, and speech of elderly people. We evaluate our approach using the example of German oral history interviews, where a relative average reduction of the word error rate by 19.3% is achieved.

РОЛЬ СИСТЕМЫ ЗАГЛАВИЙ В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОМ УНИВЕРСУМЕ ЦИКЛА Б.Л. ПАСТЕРНАКА «ПЕРЕДЕЛКИНО»

description: В статье предпринимается попытка проанализировать поэтику заглавий стихотворений из цикла Б.Л. Пастернака «Переделкино». Поскольку заглавия тем или иным образом позиционируют содержание текста, а внутри стихотворного цикла как некоего художественного единства играют важную, системообразующую, роль, интересным представляется проследить, как в системе заглавий «переделкинских» стихотворений воплощается общая художественная концепция этого цикла (часто выделяемого самим Пастернаком в качестве «переломного» этапа собственного творчества). Так, например, очередность заглавий в цикле «Переделкино» демонстрирует столь значимый для этого цикла мотив смены времен года («Летний день» – «Зазимки» – «Опять весна»). Это чередование природных сезонов (природный круговорот) трактуется Пастернаком как некоторая «гарантия» бессмертия: за зимой (воплощение смерти) обязательно будет весна (воскресение). Подчинив свою жизнь этому круговороту, лирический герой цикла «Переделкино» также обретает своеобразное бессмертие. Тот же «сезонный» принцип чуть позже будет реализован Пастернаком при выборе заглавий в цикле «Стихотворения Юрия Живаго» и даже в последней поэтической книге «Когда разгуляется». Так в цикле «Переделкино» (первый поэтический цикл Б. Пастернака, состоящий только из «озаглавленных» стихотворений) поэт вырабатывает некий принцип «озаглавливания», который будет применяться им и далее, что станет одной из особенностей «поздней» пастернаковской поэтики.
