The technology of forming the students’ research competence in the process of learning a foreign language

© Canadian Center of Science and Education. The research issue appears important as today's system of professional education requires an optimal structure of the academic disciplines intended for the students’ research and creative abilities development. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to develop a technique for forming the students’ research competence in the process of learning a foreign language. The flagship approaches to the development of this technology have become the research and modular competence-based approaches. The article describes the technology of the students’ research competence formation in the process of learning a foreign language, the proposed stages of which are universal and can be also used in the formation of the students’ communicative competence, while the submitted steps are particularly aimed at the formation of the students’ research competence in the process of learning a foreign language. The materials of this article may be of value to the foreign language teachers while selecting and structuring the foreign language learning curriculum aimed at the formation of the research competence among the students of higher professional schools

© 2016, Econjournals. All rights reserved.The relevance of the problems stated in the article is conditioned by the fact that with the expansion of international economic relations and the increasing number of joint ventures and companies, there is an urgent need for specialists capable of intercultural communication for the implementation of the business contacts and contracts, the conclusion of economic agreements with foreign partners, cooperating with enterprises of different countries. In this regard, this article is aimed at identifying and studying of the pedagogical conditions of college students’ core competencies formation in the process of foreign languages learning. The article clarifies the composition of core competencies in college students’ foreign languages learning; identifies a set of criteria for selection of the content of discipline “foreign language;” reveals the effectiveness of pedagogical technologies of college students’ core competencies formation in the foreign languages learning; provides quality monitoring technology of college students’ core competencies formation in the process of foreign languages learning

A Blind comparative study of focused wave interactions with a fixed FPSO-like structure (CCP-WSI Blind Test Series 1)

Results from Blind Test Series 1, part of the Collaborative Computational Project in Wave Structure Interaction (CCP-WSI), are presented. Participants, with a range of numerical methods, simulate blindly the interaction between a fixed structure and focused waves ranging in steepness and direction. Numerical results are compared against corresponding physical data. The predictive capability of each method is assessed based on pressure and run-up measurements. In general, all methods perform well in the cases considered, however, there is notable variation in the results (even between similar methods). Recommendations are made for appropriate considerations and analysis in future comparative studies.</p

Surf-Riding Operational Measures for Fast Semidisplacement Naval Hull Form

Surf-riding/broaching failure mode is one of the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC) dealt by IMO. The SGISC are structured with a multi-tiered approach: Level 1, Level 2 and Direct Stability Assessment (DSA). When a ship does not verify one level, the next once must be applied, or the ship design must be modified. If ship changes are not feasible, Operational Measures (OM) can be provided to avoid dangerous situations and reduce the likelihood of stability failures. The OM are divided into Operational Limitations (OL) related to areas or routes and related to maximum significant wave heights and Operational Guidance (OG). The surf-riding criterion has been applied on the parent hull of the Systematic Series D, a fast semi-displacement naval hull with forms typically vulnerable to surf-riding phenomenon. The 90 m length ship results vulnerable to Level 1 and 2, therefore Operational Measures have been discussed and provided for a hypothetical route in the Mediterranean Sea (Area 26). Following the OL, in considered Area 26 the ship operations are limited when significant wave heights exceed 3.8 m. The simplified OG define critical ship speeds to be avoided for each considered sea state

CFD simulations for surf-riding occurrence assessment

Surf-riding phenomenon occurs when a ship sailing in following waves is accelerated to wave celerity. In this paper, surf-riding occurrence is studied for the parent hull of the Systematic Series D by 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) CFD simulations. Simulation cases are chosen following IMO recommendations for a wavelength to ship length range and following IMO criterion for ship speed cases. Initial conditions for simulations are obtained from 1-DOF surge motion equation solved by bifurcation analysis. The aim is to define surf-riding limits for ship operability with a less conservative approach, taking into account force changes in waves compared to the one used in the 1-DOF model, which considers calm water approximations. After defining surf-riding boundaries in terms of wave heights for different wavelengths and ship speeds, calculated forces are analysed to evaluate the magnitude and trend of non-linear effects due to wave elevation and ship-wave interaction. A detailed analysis is conducted on resistance, thrust, and wave forces in surging and surf-riding conditions, comparing the applied methodologies. The introduction of wave velocity field influence in the thrust force and the calculation of Froude-Krylov wave-force up to actual wave profile have been discussed and identified as possible improvements of 1-DOF approach

The requirements for developing the programs and designing a foreign language teaching syllabus for the students following the education internationalization

© 2015 by the authors. Russia’s joining international economic and educational community, expanding multilateral ties with the countries of the united Europe and the United States, the process of internationalization which have affected all major spheres of modern society including education mounts challenges for the design and implementation of the teaching foreign language syllabus. Therefore, this article aims to identify and study the requirements for the development and design of the foreign language teaching syllabus inclusive of the education internationalization compliant with the social order and determined by the linguistic world dynamics, reflecting a vivid communicative, person-oriented and professional focus of teaching a foreign language. The article submissions may be useful to the teachers of “Foreign Language” disciplines as well as for the students of the teachers’ training universities
