description: Despite its enormous popularity, Russell’s theory of definite descriptions has received various criticisms. Two of the most important objections against this theory are those arising from the Argument from Incompleteness and the Argument from Donnellan’s Distinction. According to the former although a speaker may say something true by assertively uttering a sentence containing an incomplete description , on the Russellian analysis such a sentence expresses a false proposition; so, Russell’s theory cannot adequately deal with such sentences. According to the latter objection a descriptive sentence is actually ambiguous—it expresses a general proposition when the description contained in it is used attributively, and a singular proposition when the description in question is used referentially; Russell’s theory is inadequate as it fails to capture this ambiguity and offers an analysis according to which a descriptive sentence expresses only a general proposition. These objections are examined in the present dissertation. It is shown here that these objections arise from: (i) ignoring the distinction between the meaning of a sentence and the assertions made by using it, (ii) the failure to distinguish between the semantic meaning of a sentence and the pragmatic meaning with which it is used on a particular occasion. To make the distinction mentioned in (i), a significant part of Scott Soames’ theory concerning meaning and assertions has been adopted in this dissertation; and, to make the distinction mentioned in (ii), a test, namely the cancellability test, and two Distinguishing Criteria, namely DC-1 and DC-2, have been developed here. It has been argued here that if we properly make the relevant distinctions, then we will find that: (a) the phenomenon cited by the Argument from Incompleteness can be well explained keeping the Russellian analysis of descriptive sentences intact, (b) the phenomenon arising from the Argument from Donnellan’s Distinction raises an issue of pragmatics and is irrelevant to Russell’s semantic analysis of descriptive sentences. So, none of the above criticisms poses a genuine threat to Russell’s theory of definite descriptions; his theory actually provides, to a large extent, a correct semantic analysis of descriptive sentences.
Spin and chiral orderings of the antiferromagnetic XY model on the triangular lattice and their critical properties

description: We study the antiferromagnetic {\it XY} model on a triangular lattice by extensive Monte Carlo simulations, focusing on its ordering and critical properties. Our result clearly shows that two separate transitions occur at two distinct temperatures, the one at a higher temperature is associated with a $Z_2$-symmetry breaking driven by the chirality, and the one at a lower temperature is associated with the onset of the quasi-long-range order of the {\it XY} spin. We carefully examine the critical properties of each transition to find that the criticality of the chiral transition is consistent with the standard two-dimensional Ising universality class, whereas that of the spin transition might differ from the conventional Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) one. The observed non-KT nature of the spin criticality is consistent with the most recent simulation result on the fully-frustrated {\it XY} model on a square lattice.

description: The pion-photon transition form factor (TFF) provides strong constraints on the pion distribution amplitude (DA). We perform an analysis of all existing data (CELLO, CLEO, BaBar, Belle) on the pion-photon TFF by means of light-cone pQCD approach in which we include the next-to-leading order correction to the valence-quark contribution and estimate the non-valence-quark contribution by a phenomenological model based on the TFF's limiting behavior at both $Q^2\to 0$ and $Q^2\to\infty$. At present, the pion DA is not definitely determined, it is helpful to have a pion DA model that can mimic all the suggested behaviors, especially to agree with the constraints from the pion-photon TFF in whole measured region within a consistent way. For the purpose, we adopt the conventional model for pion wavefunction/DA that has been constructed in our previous paper \cite{hw1}, whose broadness is controlled by a parameter $B$. We fix the DA parameters by using the CELLO, CLEO, BABAR and Belle data within the smaller $Q^2$ region ($Q^2 \leq 15$ GeV$^2$), where all the data are consistent with each other. And then the pion-photon TFF is extrapolated into larger $Q^2$ region. We observe that the BABAR favors $B=0.60$ which has the behavior close to the Chernyak-Zhitnitsky DA, whereas the recent Belle favors $B=0.00$ which is close to the asymptotic DA. We need more accurate data at large $Q^2$ region to determine the precise value of $B$, and the definite behavior of pion DA can be concluded finally by the consistent data in the coming future.

description: Soft leptogenesis is a scenario in which the cosmic baryon asymmetry is produced from a lepton asymmetry generated in the decays of heavy sneutrinos (the partners of the singlet neutrinos of the seesaw) and where the relevant sources of CP violation are the complex phases of soft supersymmetry-breaking terms. We explain the motivations for soft leptogenesis, and review its basic ingredients: the different CP-violating contributions, the crucial role played by thermal corrections, and the enhancement of the efficiency from lepton flavour effects. We also discuss the high temperature regime $T > 10^7$ GeV in which the cosmic baryon asymmetry originates from an initial asymmetry of an anomalous $R$-charge, and soft leptogenesis reembodies in $R$-genesis.

description: In recent years, biomarker classification using medical imaging informatics has generated significant research interest. Imaging biomarkers may provide a non-invasive method to assess important genetic characteristics of lesions and the impact of treatment. However, assessment of new imaging biomarkers in terms of measurement time, precision and accuracy, is critical for clinical acceptance. This research characterized two new imaging biomarkers in head and neck cancers: a rapid, parallel level-set for volume measurement of meningioma brain tumors; and, an image texture biomarker of an important gene in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Results suggest that the new volume measurement tool possesses better measurement time, precision and accuracy than an algorithm in current widespread clinical use. The image texture biomarker achieved good accuracy in predicting genetic status in SCC. These findings demonstrate the potential clinical utility of these new imaging biomarkers.
When nothing exists: The role of zero in the prosodic hierarchy

description: Zero (Ø) has been a phonological tool for over a century used to explain linguistic phenomena where language-specific rules either under or over-apply. This tool has often been argued to be 'dangerous' since it gives 'additional power to the system' (Stanley 1967). This long-standing controversy has lead to many authors arguing against analyses of phenomena that rely on Ø. This opposition to Ø often leads those authors to relegate a given phenomenon to the lexicon rather than maintaining a phonological explanation for a given sound change. While the skepticism of those authors may be warranted, what is lacking from the field is a list of criteria by which to evaluate proposals of Ø. This thesis examines cases of proposed Øs in several languages to propose a list of four criteria which can be used as a general guideline for either warranting or eliminating Ø in a particular phonological analysis.

GNSS Signal Authenticity Verification in the Presence of Structural Interference

subject: GNSS
subject: Interference

description: GNSS dependant timing and positioning systems have become widespread in various civilian applications such as communication networks, smart power distribution grids and vehicular and airplane navigation systems. However, GNSS signals are quite vulnerable to different types of interference since they are very weak once received on the earth surface. Among various intentional interference signals, structural interferences (e.g. spoofing and meaconing) are much more dangerous since they are designed to mislead their target receiver(s) that are not aware of the attack and this can lead to disastrous consequences in scores of applications. Spoofing and meaconing signals’ features are very similar to those of authentic GNSS signals; therefore, it is very difficult for a GNSS receiver to discriminate their presence. This dissertation analyses the effects of spoofing signals on different processing levels of civilian GPS L1 C/A receivers and accordingly proposes some possible countermeasure techniques. It is shown that the presence of spoofing interference increases the power content of structural signals within the GNSS frequency bands and this feature can reveal the presence of spoofing interference before the despreading process of the receiver. Spoofing and meaconing interference can affect the acquisition process of a GNSS receiver. It is shown that monitoring the absolute received power of received GNSS signals is highly effective to reduce receiver vulnerability to spoofing attack during the acquisition process. Spoofing signals can also compromise the tracking process of GNSS receivers by generating synchronized higher power PRN signals. The effects of different spoofing attacks on a tracking receiver are analysed and two possible countermeasure techniques have been proposed to detect the interaction between spoofing and authentic signals. Furthermore, the effect of spoofing signals has been analysed on the position level observables of a GNSS receiver and it is shown that these observations can practically reveal the presence of a spoofed position/timing solution for a moving receiver. The performances of the proposed authenticity verification techniques are validated using several real data collection and processing scenarios. Finally, a possible structure for a spoofing aware GPS receiver is proposed that checks the authenticity of received GNSS signals at different processing layers without imposing extensive hardware or software modifications to conventional GNSS receivers.
You Think, I Think, But What Do We Think? Perceptions of Child Maltreatment among Afro-Caribbean Parents and Child Welfare Workers in Alberta

description: There is limited global research into what one group perceives another group is thinking about child maltreatment; whether there is congruence or incongruence in these perceptions and whether this impacts the child maltreatment decision-making process. The primary objective of this study was to understand the meaning of child maltreatment for Afro-Caribbean parents and child welfare workers as well as the experiences that have informed these views. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight parents and six child welfare workers in Calgary. Findings were interpreted and discussed using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. The dual lens of co-orientation theory and critical race theory provided the theoretical foundation for this research. Findings indicate that both parents and child welfare workers rely on multiple factors to inform their understanding of child maltreatment. Both identify the importance of the law as well as socio-cultural norms as gateways through which they define child maltreatment. However, the process of operationalisation of these and other factors is different for each participant and represents the areas of incongruence between parents and child welfare workers. To frame the meaning of child maltreatment, parents rely on their recollection and understanding of how they were raised. They also visualise an expected outcome for their children, framed within the context of their perception of what is required to achieve that desired outcome within the existing environment. The perception that parents have emigrated from countries with little or no laws related to child maltreatment was noted by some child welfare workers. Yet, as immigrants, many of these same parents feel they continue to operate with limited information or guidelines related to appropriate parenting. These findings demonstrate the need for improved educational supports for members of this population on child maltreatment within Canada and additional research on the experiences of ethnic minorities within the child welfare system. It also reinforces the need for focus on anti-black racism training for child welfare workers and highlights the need to address inconsistencies in child maltreatment legislation and guidelines.

description: The study of the relative phase between strong and electromagnetic amplitudes is of great importance for understanding the dynamics of charmonium decays. The information of the phase can be obtained model-independently by fitting the scan data of some special decay channels, one of which is $ψ^{\prime} \to K^{+}K^{-}$. To find out the optimal data taking strategy for a scan experiment in the measurement of the phase in $ψ^{\prime} \to K^{+} K^{-}$, the minimization process is analyzed from a theoretical point of view. The result indicates that for one parameter fit, only one data taking point in the vicinity of a resonance peak is sufficient to acquire the optimal precision. Numerical results are obtained by fitting simulated scan data. Besides the results related to the relative phase between strong and electromagnetic amplitudes, the method is extended to analyze the fits of other resonant parameters, such as the mass and the total decay width of $ψ^{\prime}$.

description: Piracy has remained quintessentially the same from its inception to the present day. As piracy has reached all time heights in the past decade since the defeat of the Barbary pirates, there has been much research done in the area of piracy and finding solutions to this age old problem. Modern schools of pirate studies have all but ignored ancient history as a source in this search for a solution. This work outlines the characteristics of piracy in the ancient world, the laws developed in reaction to this menace, and the successful tactics and strategies employed by ancient civilizations in combating this terror which hails from time immemorial. These characteristics, laws, and methods will then be compared to modern piracy, showing the similarities between them and the possibilities for solutions to be incorporated in our present day.

description: We investigate an analytically tractable toy model for thermally induced polymorphic dynamics of cooperatively rearranging biofilaments - like microtubules. The proposed 4 -block model, which can be seen as a coarse-grained approximation of the full polymorphic tube model, permits a complete analytical treatment of all thermodynamic properties including correlation functions and angular fourier mode distributions. Due to its mathematical tractability the model straightforwardly leads to some physical insights in recently discussed phenomena like the "length dependent persistence length". We show that a polymorphic filament can disguise itself as a classical worm like chain on small and on large scales and yet display distinct anomalous tell-tale features indicating an inner switching dynamics on intermediate length scales.

description: The ground state structural and electronic properties of germanene (the germanium analogue of graphene) are investigated using first-principles calculations. On structure optimization, the graphene-like honeycomb structure of germanene turns out as buckled (buckling parameter $Δ= 0.635$ Å) in contrast with graphene's planar structure (buckling parameter $Δ= 0.0$ Å). In spite of this, germanene has similar electronic structure as that of graphene. While corroborating the reported results, we newly predict the in-plane contraction of hexagonal Ge with (thermal) stretching along the "c" axis, akin to a phenomenon observed in graphite.

description: The present study examined ADHD knowledge of children and parents of children with and without ADHD. This study examined social-emotional positive illusory bias (PIB) for children with ADHD and investigated a relationship between ADHD knowledge and PIB. Fifty-one children and their parents (29 ADHD and 22 control) completed questionnaires measuring their ADHD knowledge and the children’s social-emotional competence. Results found parents to be most knowledgeable in the area of ADHD symptoms and least in general information. Both children and parents of children with ADHD had significantly higher knowledge than the control group with the exception of the general information subscale for parents. Children with ADHD did not demonstrate higher social-emotional PIB than control children; furthermore, no relationship was found between child ADHD knowledge and social-emotional PIB. These results have implications for individuals providing ADHD education to parents and children and for researchers examining links to PIB in children with ADHD.

Is Accounting a (Fe)Male Profession?

subject: cultural capital

description: The study in this thesis is not only motivated in part by my interest in how and why accounting in Thailand seems gendered differently from that in prior accounting studies, but also by the call to enrich gender issues in accounting research by including non-Western contexts (Haynes, 2016; Komori, 2015). Gender is a pervasive social phenomenon that intertwines with accounting (Hopwood, 1987). Socio-cultural, economic, and geographical differences influence the gendering process in the accounting profession (Haynes, in press). Despite much research on gender issues in accounting, little is known regarding the accounting profession in Thailand, where accounting is seen as a woman’s area. This study analyses interviews and documentary data about the accounting profession in Thailand. In Thai society, cultural capital that is influenced by characteristics of men and women is closely linked to the accounting profession as a predominantly female area although men occupy the upper echelon of power with the acceptance of women. Analyses in this study reveal double symbolic violence in the accounting profession in the Thai context. At one level, the profession is stereotyped so that men are more likely to be discouraged from pursuing accounting because the profession is naturally seen as a woman’s area. At another level, the existing embodied capital of women is reinterpreted as unfavourable for senior management. Therefore, women are likely to accept that men should assume the leadership role. Masculine domination is symbolic of administration (Bourdieu, 2001), such that management seems to be gendered separately from the accounting profession. The gendering of the accounting profession and of management results in limits on the full capabilities of men and women in contributing to society. The lack of true equality results in silent suppression of some men, whose skills are suitable for accounting, from entering and thriving in the profession, and in the silent prevention of some women from fully realising their ability to competently execute managerial roles.

description: Aeolian processes are the most dominant geological processes in the current environment of Mars. Studying other planets through terrestrial analogs is an important step in planetary science studies. One of the most enigmatic and mysterious aeolian features on this planet is known as Transverse Aeolian Ridges (TARs). In the present study, I described a terrestrial analog for TARs on Mars in the Lut desert of Iran. TAR-like features in this area have considerable similarities with Martian TARs in morphometry. This area represents a unique site to study the formation and evolution of these enigmatic features with the potential to develop a better understanding of TARs on Mars. Furthermore, mapping small linear trending features such as TARs has been a restriction in planetary remote sensing. In this study, I present a new framework for mapping these features based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm known as Self Organizing Maps (SOM). Appropriate layer selection and network settings have been defined for mapping features with small footprints on satellite images. Accuracy assessment using different planetary images such as Worldview, Quickbird and HiRISE shows that this is a promising method in remote sensing analysis of these features. Moreover, this method can be applied in other disciplines for different purposes. The new mapping technique was applied to satellite images in order to evaluate TARs on Earth and Mars. I produced a large sample set of these bedforms through Mars and Earth satellite images. Results from different metrics showed similarities between these features in the Lut desert and TARs on Mars. Interesting results have been acquired by using multi-temporal satellite images and morphometry analysis of TARs on both planets. The features have been classified into three different regions based on their migration rate, direction and location in this area. I define TARs that are unique to Mars from TARs that have the similar analogs on Earth.
Convergence of numerical methods for stochastic differential equations in mathematical finance

description: Many stochastic differential equations that occur in financial modelling do not satisfy the standard assumptions made in convergence proofs of numerical schemes that are given in textbooks, i.e., their coefficients and the corresponding derivatives appearing in the proofs are not uniformly bounded and hence, in particular, not globally Lipschitz. Specific examples are the Heston and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross models with square root coefficients and the Ait-Sahalia model with rational coefficient functions. Simple examples show that, for example, the Euler-Maruyama scheme may not converge either in the strong or weak sense when the standard assumptions do not hold. Nevertheless, new convergence results have been obtained recently for many such models in financial mathematics. These are reviewed here. Although weak convergence is of traditional importance in financial mathematics with its emphasis on expectations of functionals of the solutions, strong convergence plays a crucial role in Multi Level Monte Carlo methods, so it and also pathwise convergence will be considered along with methods which preserve the positivity of the solutions.

description: Using an ultrastable continuous-wave laser at 580 nm we performed spectral hole burning of Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$ at very high spectral resolution. Essential parameters determining the usefulness as a "macroscopic" frequency reference: linewidth, temperature sensitivity, long-term stability were characterized, using a H-maser stabilized frequency comb. Spectral holes with linewidth as low as 6 kHz were observed and the upper limit of the drift of the hole frequency was determined to be on the order of 5$\pm$3 mHz/s. We discuss necessary requirements for achieving ultra-high-stability in laser frequency stabilization to these spectral holes.

description: Актуальность статьи обусловлена заинтересованностью государства в развитии финансового рынка страны, потребительского спроса, сохранении социальной стабильности в условиях снижения уровня дохода граждан. В статье рассмотрены результаты применения процедуры банкротства в судебном порядке в отношении граждан, проанализировано законодательство, регулирующее общественные отношения в данной сфере. В результате проведенного исследования авторы приходят к выводу, что институт банкротства в Российской Федерации является актуальной сферой правового регулирования в современном российском законодательстве, но существует ряд проблем, создающих препятствия для ее полноценного использования. В частности, проблемы, заключающиеся в несовершенстве законодательного регулирования, которые обуславливают необходимость пересмотра существующего механизма деятельности института банкротства. Помимо этого, авторами, в качестве самостоятельной и определенно значимой обозначена проблема отношения судебного корпуса к гражданам, в отношении которого проводится процедура банкротства.
Downhole Annular Heating: A New Approach To Subsurface Heating And Active Insulation
Creators: name: Sayed, Amr
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2016
Subjects: Engineering--Petroleum

description: Downhole Annular Heating is a novel technique proposed in this thesis to provide a safer and more intensive heating density downhole for injection and production wells. A prototype with the same layout proposed was constructed to test the feasibility of the concept. Other experimental setups were used to examine some of the parameters affecting the performance of the suggested heating element. Potential applications of the proposed system involves heating injected air and water downhole for combustion and hot waterflooding projects. The system could also be used to actively insulate the well in order to maintain the temperature of the injected steam/hot water or the oil produced from hot formations or from thermal enhanced oil recovery methods. Microsoft Excel and VBA was used to examine the power requirement and other operational variables for the suggested applications.

description: В статье рассматриваются взгляды одного из выдающихся юристов XIX-XX веков, члена Верховного суда США Оливера Уэнделла Холмса на Конституцию США. Большое внимание уделяется нравственно-философскому аспекту, который имел для Холмса первостепенное значение при рассмотрении дел в Верховном суде. Он предлагал относиться к Конституции не как к догме, которой следует руководствоваться при принятии решения, и которая не имеет права на изменение, а как к живому организму, который имеет право на развитие, а значит, и на изменение, согласно текущим потребностям быстроменяющегося общества. В российской историографии подобная тематика ранее не рассматривалась, хотя Холмс являлся не только признанным авторитетом в среде юристов и политиков, но и находился во главе правового реализма и юридического прагматизма в науке конституционного права. В статье показано, как взгляды судьи Холмса на Конституцию США влияли на принятие им решений в Верховном суде. Отстаивая свою позицию, О.У. Холмс не боялся выступать ни против крупного капитала, ни против президента Соединенных Штатов Америки («Northern Securities Co. vs United States»).

description: В статье на основе описательного обзора рассмотрено, как сектор зеленых (sustainable, green jobs) рабочих мест реагировал на последовавшие экономические ограничения COVID-19. Через призму концепций зеленых профессий в социальных науках, теории мобильности и устойчивого развития рассматриваются наиболее затронутые пандемией отрасли: производство и потребление, отходы, энергетика, логистика. Выявлено, что повысилась актуальность в энергосберегающих и ресурсосберегающих решениях, актуализировались идеи зеленой экономики как возможности скорейшего экономического и социального восстановления. Кризис апробировал идеи совместного пользования, интернета вещей, рециркуляции, экологической и гигиенической безопасности. Преимущество отдано фирмам и рынкам, которые могут предложить оффлайн более безопасные и экологические решения и адаптироваться под новые гигиенические требования. Повысился спрос на органические продукты питания и продукты локальных фермерств, больше внимания стало уделяться отрасли и работникам по управлению отходами. Главный урон потерпел сектор транспорта и логистики по причине ограничения перемещений.

description: We exploit gauge/gravity duality to study `thermal quenches' in a plasma of the strongly coupled N=2* gauge theory. Specifically, we consider the response of an initial thermal equilibrium state of the theory under variations of the bosonic or fermionic mass, to leading order in m/T<<1. When the masses are made to vary in time, novel new counterterms must be introduced to renormalize the boundary theory. We consider transitions the conformal super-Yang-Mills theory to the mass deformed gauge theory and also the reverse transitions. By construction, these transitions are controlled by a characteristic time scale \calt and we show how the response of the system depends on the ratio of this time scale to the thermal time scale 1/T. The response shows interesting scaling behaviour both in the limit of fast quenches with T\calt<<1 and slow quenches with T\calt>>1. In the limit that T\calt\to\infty, we observe the expected adiabatic response. For fast quenches, the relaxation to the final equilibrium is controlled by the lowest quasinormal mode of the bulk scalar dual to the quenched operator. For slow quenches, the system relaxes with a (nearly) adiabatic response that is governed entirely by the late time profile of the mass. We describe new renormalization scheme ambiguities in defining gauge invariant observables for the theory with time dependant couplings.

description: We investigated size effects on thermoelectricity in thin films of a strongly correlated layered cobaltate. At room temperature, the thermopower is independent of thickness down to 6 nm. This unusual behavior is inconsistent with the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory, which is used to describe conventional metals and semiconductors, and is attributed to the strong electron correlations in this material. Although the resistivity increases, as expected, below a critical thickness of $\sim$ 30 nm. The temperature dependent thermopower is similar for different thicknesses but resistivity shows systematic changes with thickness. Our experiments highlight the differences in thermoelectric behavior of strongly correlated and uncorrelated systems when subjected to finite size effects. We use the atomic limit Hubbard model at the high temperature limit to explain our observations. These findings provide new insights on decoupling electrical conductivity and thermopower in correlated systems.

description: Характерной чертой развития мирового хозяйства является неравномерность экономического роста в различных группах стран, увеличивающаяся по мере усиления глобализации. С начала XXI в. в мировом горнодобывающем комплексе происходят два знаменательных процесса: во-первых, ускоренный рост спроса на сырьевые ресурсы, во-вторых, повышение концентрации производства ресурсов в отдельных странах или группах стран. Статья посвящена исследованию неоднородности мирового горнодобывающего комплекса, в ней выявляется степень концентрации стран-производителей на мировых рынках металлургического сырья. Оценка неоднородности осуществляется на основе следующих показателей: индекса Херфиндаля-Хиршмана (HHI) и индекса концентрации (CR). Исследуется концентрация стран-производителей сырьевых ресурсов на рынках черной металлургии, цветной металлургии, благородных металлов, редких и редкоземельных металлов. В результате анализа мирового рынка сырьевых ресурсов отмечено, что в 2017 г. четыре страны добывали более половины (51,5%) всех минеральных ресурсов в мире. Этими странами были Китай, на который приходилось 23,5%, США - 11,5%, Россия - 9,2%, Австралия -7,3% всех ресурсов.

description: We propose a new allotrope of graphane, named as tricycle graphane,with a 4up/2down UUUDUD hydrogenation in each hexagonal carbon ring,which is different from previously proposed allotropes with UUDUUD(boat-1) and UUUUDD (boat-2) types of hydrogenation. Its stability and electronic structures are systematically studied using first-principles method. We find that the tricycle graphane is a stable phase in between the previously proposed chair and stirrup allotropes. Its electronic properties are very similar to those of chair, stirrup, boat-1, boat-2, and twist-boat allotropes. The negative Gibbs free energy of tricycle graphane is -91 meV/atom, which very close to that of the most stable chair one (-103 meV/atom). Thus, this new two-dimensional hydrocarbon may be produced in the process of graphene hydrogenation with a relative high probability compared to other conformers.

description: В статье рассматриваются особенности применения воспроизводственного подхода в процессе управления жизненным циклом технических систем. Рассмотрены факторы, влияющие на элементы воспроизводственного подхода, и реализация соответствующих инновационных стратегий при воспроизводстве новых технических систем. Воспроизводственным подходом принято считать такой подход к управлению, который ориентирован на циклическое повторение производства технических систем с целью получения отдачи у потребителей с наибольшей эффективностью используемых ресурсов по сравнению с аналогичной технической системой. Переход к производству от выпускаемого до перспективного образца технической системы осуществляется в процессе их воспроизводства. Этот процесс можно описать, имея данные о структуре жизненного цикла технических систем. Переход к перспективному образцу осуществляется постепенно от выпускаемого образца к проектируемому, от проектируемого к перспективному образцу технической системы. Для того, чтобы не снизилась рентабельность производства необходимо одновременно производить выпускаемую и проектируемую технические системы, постепенно увеличивая программу производства новых образцов техники. Сущность данного подхода основывается на сочетании четырех элементов, каждый из которых рассматривает воспроизводство технических систем с определенной точки зрения.
