Проблеми екологічної освіти студентів технічних університетів

The issue of the need to improve the quality of modern environmental education and training of technical universities students regarding of issues of productions environmental safety was considered. Because of the environmental burden increasing, it is impossible to solve the problems facing humanity without changing of the attitude of all mankind towards them.Розглянуто питання про необхідність підвищення якості сучасної екологічної освіти та підготовки студентів технічних університетів стосовно питань екологічної безпеки виробництв. Через зростаюче навантаження на навколишнє середовище неможливо вирішити проблеми, що стоять перед людством, не змінюючи відношення всього людства до них

Rashba Torque Driven Domain Wall Motion in Magnetic Helices

Manipulation of the domain wall propagation in magnetic wires is a key practical task for a number of devices including racetrack memory and magnetic logic. Recently, curvilinear effects emerged as an efficient mean to impact substantially the statics and dynamics of magnetic textures. Here, we demonstrate that the curvilinear form of the exchange interaction of a magnetic helix results in an effective anisotropy term and Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction with a complete set of Lifshitz invariants for a one-dimensional system. In contrast to their planar counterparts, the geometrically induced modifications of the static magnetic texture of the domain walls in magnetic helices offer unconventional means to control the wall dynamics relying on spin-orbit Rashba torque. The chiral symmetry breaking due to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction leads to the opposite directions of the domain wall motion in left- or right-handed helices. Furthermore, for the magnetic helices, the emergent effective anisotropy term and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction can be attributed to the clear geometrical parameters like curvature and torsion offering intuitive understanding of the complex curvilinear effects in magnetism

Automated stereo retrieval of smoke plume injection heights and retrieval of smoke plume masks from AATSR and assessment with CALIPSO and MISR.

The longevity and dispersion of smoke and asso- ciated chemical constituents released from wildfire events are dependent on several factors, crucially including the height at which the smoke is injected into the atmosphere. The aim here is to provide improved emission data for the initialization of chemical transport models in order to better predict aerosol and trace gas dispersion following injection into the free atmosphere. A new stereo-matching algorithm, named M6, which can effec- tively resolve smoke plume injection heights (SPIH), is presented here. M6 is extensively validated against two alternative space- borne earth observation SPIH data sources and demonstrates good agreement. Further, due to the spectral and dual-view configuration of the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer imaging system, it is possible to automatically differentiate smoke from other atmospheric features effectively—a feat, which currently no other algorithm can achieve. Additionally, as the M6 algorithm shares a heritage with the other M-series matchers, it is here compared against one of its predecessors, M4, which, for the determination of SPIH, M6 is shown to substantially outperform

Scintillator counters with WLS fiber/MPPC readout for the side muon range detector (SMRD)of the T2K experiment

The T2K neutrino experiment at J-PARC uses a set of near detectors to measure the properties of an unoscillated neutrino beam and neutrino interaction cross-sections. One of the sub-detectors of the near-detector complex, the side muon range detector (SMRD), is described in the paper. The detector is designed to help measure the neutrino energy spectrum, to identify background and to calibrate the other detectors. The active elements of the SMRD consist of 0.7 cm thick extruded scintillator slabs inserted into air gaps of the UA1 magnet yokes. The readout of each scintillator slab is provided through a single WLS fiber embedded into a serpentine shaped groove. Two Hamamatsu multi-pixel avalanche photodiodes (MPPC's) are coupled to both ends of the WLS fiber. This design allows us to achieve a high MIP detection efficiency of greater than 99%. A light yield of 25-50 p.e./MIP, a time resolution of about 1 ns and a spatial resolution along the slab better than 10 cm were obtained for the SMRD counters.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures; talk at TIPP09, March 12-17, Tsukuba, Japan; to be published in the conference proceeding
