Techniques of new application for acquisition foreign languages: development stages and modern trend
In the conditions of scientific and technical progress and more developing international contacts in the field of science, technology, and culture, the practical knowledge of a foreign language becomes one of the most important characteristics of a highly qualified specialist of any profile. One of the important factors in the development of the system to accelerating learning is the demands of adults themselves. Therefore, we need to create an automated system fast and effective teaching another language that uses the mini-max criterion, which provides the maximum possible result to the minimum required amount of effort on the part of the student. The essence of the approach is to replace the description in our native language with visual objects using the latest technology for implementing this approach. This means that an intermediate language is introduced, not tied to any of the known languages. The Purpose of the research is to develop a methodology (technique) for applying the Visual Approach in the educational environment created on the basis of a distributed management system to accelerate the acquisition of foreign language skills by adults. The system provides the process of controlling the formation of speech skills to a threshold level, allowing the transition from language learning to its improvement and acceleration. On the basis of this new generation using continuous evaluation of the competency level of the trainee, visual models, and information technology, got them a new incarnation, opens a new direction in construction a new version of Learning Management System - E-AMS
Intersection of Technology and Second Language Acquisition
Migration and globalization have accelerated the need for a second language. Educational systems, as one of the most conservative systems of society, do not keep pace with scientific and technological progress and social changes, and do not have the capacity and resources to solve the problem of rapid training of a large number of adults in language, social and industrial skills. At the same time, the development of alternative ways of learning leads to the rapid growth of online learning. Such complex interdisciplinary developments require coordinated work of specialists in various fields of knowledge, using different terminology, methodology and models of the subject area. This makes it extremely difficult to work together and leads to the fact that the latest technical systems are implemented outdated techniques, teachers do not use the technical capabilities of modern systems, and methodologists cannot put into practice modern scientific discoveries and developments. To date, the objective prerequisites for the creation of a Learning Management System (LMS), which combines the most effective developments in the field of activity theory, psycholinguistics and information and communication technologies (ICT), have matured. The proposed LMS at the system level has already solved the problem of simultaneous interconnection of both the language system itself and the corresponding ICT tools that ensure the formation of foreign language thinking of adults in the development of professional skills. This approach, in which the set of criteria plays a decisive role, opens up new prospects for the acquisition of not only full professional and communicative competence, but above all, helps to apply new effective integration strategies of systematic and sustainable involvement of migrants, implementing the process of formation of professional skills for the specialty that is most in demand in a particular region. Moreover, training can be started even before arrival in the host country under special programs developed both on the basis of instructions of state bodies and recommendations of local communities
Low-field electron emission and cathode luminescence of piezoelectric films of oxides and chalcogenides
Basic parameters of effective low-field emitters of electrons of piezoelectric films for bright flat cathode luminescent display and other activity are optimised. Specimens of electron emitters of cathode luminescent screens are based on compounds of SiO₂, ZnO, ZnS, solid solution of Zn1-xCdxS. High efficient "cold" emitters of electrons were prepared on the basis of mono- and polycrystalline films. The emission and cathode-luminescent properties of the films were investigated. It is shown that developed films are perspective like the flat displays with the brightness of 300 Cd/m²

Results of low energy background measurements with the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) of the Mont Blanc Laboratory
The 90 tons liquid scintillation detector (LSD) is fully running since October 1984, at a depth of 5,200 hg/sq cm of standard rock underground. The main goal is to search for neutrino bursts from collapsing stars. The experiment is very sensitive to detect low energy particles and has a very good signature to gamma-rays from (n,p) reaction which follows the upsilon e + p yields n + e sup + neutrino capture. The analysis of data is presented and the preliminary results on low energy measurements are discussed
Concept of a Management System for the Formation of Adult Language Skills on the Example of English
The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to create a new technology for applying the most effective methods of forming speech skills of foreign language proficiency in adults. The research is interdisciplinary and is located at the intersection of psychology, pedagogy, linguistics, information technology and systems analysis. The goal is to implement a visual approach in an electronic educational environment to accelerate the acquisition of a new language by adults. The peculiarity of the approach is the logical relationship of the entire language system, time-saving learning of the material and the dynamics of the use of language structures. The proposed training management system is a distributed system for managing the formation (acquisition) language skills of adults. In the course of the system’s operation, a detailed statistical analysis of the results is carried out, dynamic learning curves of each student are displayed, coefficient tables are justified and indicators of the formation of speech comprehension skills by ear are specified, and speaking levels are determined from the initial to the threshold level of spontaneous speaking. The conceptual solution of such a system has been obtained, and its use will lead to a synergistic effect in the learning process and, as a result, the accelerated creation of a new language zone in the student’s mind. The system provides a process of controlled formation of speech skills to a threshold level that allows you to move from learning a language to improving it in the process of using it. Continuous evaluation of the level of competence of the learner leads to the formation of logarithmic learning curve and compensates for the prerequisites of the degradation of a learning curve in the direction of loss of expected competence, which opens up a new area of search in building learning management systems
Proposed System of New Generation LMS Using Visual Models to Accelerate Language Acquisition
Language skill is a rule-like operation, based on generalized connections. The main property of language skills is awareness. They are formed with conscious mastery of the language means of communication (phonetic, lexical and grammatical). Language acquisition is a complex process which includes a large number of different parameters. Therefore, the study and improvement of language learning and teaching require creative collaboration between experts from different domains. We propose to transfer knowledge about the structure of the language from the verbal to the visual form, thereby creating the opportunity to use them as an indicative basis for planning, managing, controlling and correcting the training of primary language skills both by the teacher and by the student himself. The proposed method allows to develop the ability to organize sentences to convey meaning by means of Visual Models and to describe the sequential steps to choose the most effective ways for working with audio to improve listening skills. The use of visual tools for the analysis of abstract systems and theories makes it possible to discover new patterns and simplify their understanding. The aim of our study is to put principles for building a new effective system using new methods for acquiring language skills

Spin-down of neutron stars by neutrino emission
We study the spin-down of a neutron star during its early stages due to the
neutrino emission. The mechanism we consider is the subsequent collisions of
the produced neutrinos with the outer shells of the star. We find that this
mechanism can indeed slow down the star rotation but only in the first tens of
seconds of the core formation, which is when the appropriate conditions of flux
and collision rate are met. We find that this mechanism can extract less than 1
% of the star angular momentum, a result which is much less than previously
estimated by other authors.Comment: 9 pages, 2 eps figures, RevTeX 4-1. The paper was significantly
modified. Now it addresses only the issues of a neutron star spin-down.
