Project Approach in Humanities as a Cognitive Strategy of Modern Engineering Education

During the studying, future engineers must realise the dependence of professional activity on calls of the times, the state policy, human needs and at the same time understand that technologies change different life aspects both of the human and all biosphere. According to this thesis, the authors pay attention to the problem of cognitive strategies creation which allow forming the social responsibility principles of future engineers during their education. In the work the comparative analysis method is used, i.e. theoretical and experimental researches were being simultaneously conducted in this field. The goal is to form the educational method which will allow students getting a bachelor's degree in technologies to understand that the engineer influences the world by manufactured goods. As a result of applying the project educational method in the Philosophy course, students have received necessary social cultural skills: realizing the anthropocentricity of the engineering profession and engineer's responsibility towards society, understanding basic tendencies of social development and forming the strategic view on reality

Special Understanding of Gender Issues in Russian Philosophy

Gender issues are actively being discussed in Western research works in different contexts: philosophical, social, political, anthropological. In Russian philosophy the theme of sex also exists. The purpose of this article is theoretical - to formulate problems which Russian philosophers tell about. In the work the method of complex analysis is used. The theoretical basis of the research is the works of N. Berdyaev, a Russian Philosopher of the first half of the XX century. The authors assume that the special nature of Russian philosophy had a great impact on the development of gender issues. As a result of the research, it has been concluded that the understanding of sex is connected with the understanding of human existence, states biological, social and space unity in philosophy of Berdyaev

The influence of plasmon resonance on the decrease of resonatorless laser generation thresholds

The paper presents the results of the measurements of the values of resonatorless laser generation power threshold densities in thin layers of 6G rhodamine colloidal solutions with single plasmon-resonance gold and silver nanoparticles and non-plazmon resonance nanoparticles of platinum and zinc oxide. It is shown that when gold, platinum and silver nanoparticles are used, the thresholds values are approximately equal at the same concentrations. © (2016) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Automation of the Monitoring System for Surface Contamination with α-Active Radionuclides

The paper presents research on radiation control at nuclear enterprises working with [alpha]-active radionuclides. The focus of the research is on the registration of 239Pu radionuclides on hands surface. The experimental results show the possibility to create a turnstile for automatic monitoring the presence of α-active radionuclides on hands. Such a device can be used with a minimum helium consumption of 66 liters per hour in a measuring chamber with an open bottom of 5.4 liters

Nanoparticle Formation in a Mixture of Fe, C, O[2] in Low-temperature Plasma in a Magnetic Field

The paper presents the results of researching a magnetic field influence on the formation of dispersed particles from the mixture of Fe+C+N[2]+Ar+O[2] at the temperature of more than 4000K. To optimize the composition of the plasmaforming gas, thermodynamic modeling was performed. The research establishes that an external magnetic field has a significant effect on the formation of a dispersed phase in the mixture of carbon and iron vapor. For example, in a powder obtained without a magnetic field, X-ray diffraction shows up to 95% C. In a powder obtained in the magnetic field of 15 mT, C (up to 50%), Fe[3]O[4] (up to 45%), Fe[2]O[3] (up to 15%), and FeO (less than 5%) are recorded. The observed results are explained by the coagulation of nanoparticles in the magnetic field
