Multilevel Clustering Fault Model for IC Manufacture

A hierarchical approach to the construction of compound distributions for process-induced faults in IC manufacture is proposed. Within this framework, the negative binomial distribution is treated as level-1 models. The hierarchical approach to fault distribution offers an integrated picture of how fault density varies from region to region within a wafer, from wafer to wafer within a batch, and so on. A theory of compound-distribution hierarchies is developed by means of generating functions. A study of correlations, which naturally appears in microelectronics due to the batch character of IC manufacture, is proposed. Taking these correlations into account is of significant importance for developing procedures for statistical quality control in IC manufacture. With respect to applications, hierarchies of yield means and yield probability-density functions are considered.Comment: 10 pages, the International Conference "Micro- and Nanoelectronics- 2003" (ICMNE-2003),Zvenigorod, Moscow district, Russia, October 6-10, 200

Evaluation of the current state of aquatic ecosystems and the problems of the protection of biological resources during development of kruzenshternskoye gcf

The results of studies of the current state of freshwater ecosystems and their biotic components in the western part of the Yamal Peninsula are presented in the article. Based on the evaluation of the structure of communities of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos, and whitefishes, the range of problems related to the protection of biological resources during the development of the Kruzenshternskoye gas field is defined. The data on species composition and quantitative indicators of hydrobionts of different types of waterbodies and watercourses in the lower reaches of the Mordyyakha and Naduyyakha Rivers basins is the basis for environmental monitoring of water objects during development and exploitation of the Kruzenshternskoye gas field. Estimation of the fish fauna state and their food base in the territory of the Kruzenshternskoye GCF according to the monitoring program is present. The river delta zones are the most important feeding areas of the salmonid and whitefishes valuable fish species in the territory of Kruzenshternskoye GCF. In cases where water bodies and watercourses are not completely demolished for the construction of GCF facilities, changes of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of communities of hydrobionts after the end of operations are reversible. River ecosystems are restored within a shorter period of time in comparison to lacustrine ones. Proposals for the protection of fisheries resources and monitoring of aquatic ecosystems on the basis of comprehensive studies are reported. Recommendations on reducing the anthropogenic impact on aquatic ecosystems in the development period are present. The results of the investigation were used in the development of the environmental protection part of the Kruzenshternskoye deposit project. Anthropogenic disturbances present now on the gas deposit territory of Kruzenshternskoye does not influence the aquatic ecosystems.The article have been prepared within the Project of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences № 12-P-47-2013 and "The Arctic" Project of the Presidium of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences № 12-4-3-012

Cognitive and regulatory characteristics and mathematical performance in high school students.

The study examined the links of cognitive and regulatory characteristics with mathematical outcomes in high school students. Participants were 318 14-16 year old students from 7 state schools in Russia. A computerized test battery was used to measure aspects of number sense, spatial ability, spatial memory and processing speed. The battery also included two measures of mathematical performance. Academic grades and final school test scores in mathematics were also collected. In addition, the students completed the Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire – SRPLAQ, which measures different aspects of self-regulation related to achieving learning goals, such as goal planning, results evaluation, and responsibility. The results suggest that cognitive and regulatory features are independently associated with mathematical performance, and that the links differ depending on the specific aspect of mathematical performance used

Space and time in the context of social measurement

This paper discusses some of the basic philosophical concepts – the concepts of “space and time” - and their relation to social evolution. The work presents the characteristics of social forms of space and time, shows the specifics of their formation in connection with human activity and the system of social relations. It was found that time duration has different manifestations in the context of historically different cultural epochs. Acceleration of social time takes place in the course of human historical practice development. Meanwhile, some social systems sometimes take the form of a certain deceleration in time. This usually occurs because of the inadequacy of the control system for the capabilities of the social organism. Social space is primarily connected with the dynamics of changes in social bonds and relationships. In the process of historical formation of social systems, social space assumes a more complex structure and expands. In the period of globalization growth, social space takes the form of a truly global integral system.peer-reviewe

The Rehydration Ability of Whey Ingredients

The purpose of this research was to studythe ability of whey protein concentrates (WPC) and whey permeate produced with ultrafiltration of cheese whey to rehydrate. The products studied were cheese whey concentrate witha PDM percentage of 80% (WPC-80), and cheese whey permeate, both produced under the conditions of the PJSC Dairy “Voronezhsky”.WPC-80 and the whey permeate dissolution processes were studied using microscopy. Water-impermeable hydrophobic layers were formed at the boundary, preventing water penetration into dry particles. The result was a higher dissolution timeforWPC-80 compared with whey permeate. When WPC-80 came into contact with water,it initially formed an obtuse wetting angle with a slow change over time. Whey permeate reached the equilibrium wetting angle more quickly. Quickreconditioning of WPC moisture content required avoiding capillary penetration of water, which created a turbulent liquid flow. The application of these ingredients in different food industry areas can reduce the costs for finished products, contribute to cost-effectiveness, increase the total production, and reduce environmental risks.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ МОБІЛЬНИХ ДОДАТКІВ ПРИ ВИКЛАДАННІ МЕДИЧНОЇ ІНФОРМАТИКИ ІНТЕРНАМ-СТОМАТОЛОГАМ

The article explores the possibility of using mobile applications to improve the teaching of medical informatics to dentists-interns. The traditional internship program implements two main areas: explore the functional characteristics of office applications and exploring opportunities programs for statistical processing of medical data. Usually the emphasis is on the study of statistical programs that are of interest only to interns who plan their future activities in science. At the same time, there are many mobile applications that can be useful for the doctor. This paper proposed mobile applications divided into two groups: general and special content. Among the most useful general content applications are marked: “3D Internal Organs of Anatomy 1.9.8”, “Medical Terminologies”, “Epocrates”, “MBK-10”, “Read by QxMD” and “MedAssist”. At the same time, it is emphasized specialization of future doctors should be taken into account when teaching medical informatics in the internship. For this reason, for dentists, the most useful may be, for example, such as “Dental Patient Education”, “Cone Beam CT”, “Smile Designer Pro”, “Dentist +” or “SimplyCeph”. An analysis of the capabilities of each application is provided. The prospect of further research is to identify the pedagogical effectiveness of using smart technologies to shape the professional competence of dentists.У статті розглянуто можливість використання мобільних додатків для удосконалення викладання медичної інформатики для інтернів-стоматологів. Показано, що традиційна програма для навчання інтернів реалізує два головних напрями: вивчення функціональних особливостей роботи офісних програм та ознайомлення з можливостями програм для статистичної обробки медичних даних. Зазвичай акцент робиться на вивченні статистичних програм, що є цікавим лише інтернам, які планують свою майбутню діяльність пов’язати з наукою. Водночас існує безліч мобільних додатків, які можуть бути корисними  лікарю в його практичній діяльності. В даній роботі мобільні додатки пропонується поділити на дві групи: загально-змістовні та спеціальні. Серед найбільш корисних загально-змістовних додатків виділені такі: «3D внутрішні органи анатомія 1.9.8», «Medical Terminologies», «Epocrates», «МБК-10», «Read by QxMD» та «MedAssist». Водночас підкреслюється, що при викладанні медичної інформатики в інтернатурі слід враховувати спеціалізацію майбутніх лікарів, тому для лікарів-стоматологів найбільш корисними можуть бути, наприклад, такі, як: «Dental Patient Education», «Cone Beam CT», «Smile Designer Pro», «Dentist +» або «SimplyCeph». Надається аналіз можливостей кожного додатка. Перспективою подальших досліджень є виявлення педагогічної ефективності використання смарт-технологій для формування професійних компетентностей лікарів-стоматологів
