SCRATCH LANGUAGE OF PROGRAMMING VS ENGLISH LANGUAGE: COMPARING MATHEMATICAL AND LINGUISTIC FEATURES

This paper focuses on Scratch language of programming and traces its math and linguistic features. From a complex consideration about Scratch language programming in linguistic paradigm, focusing on structural, semantic and syntactic features and logic of its narration, this research attempts to clarify specifics of the language and correlate it with the English language features. Global integration of ideas and sciences underline the crucial importance of programming and language conglomerate. Human-computer interfaces, software systems, and development of various programming languages depend on well-balanced structure, shape, logic, and appearance of the actual code. Dynamic characteristics of the Scratch programming environment sustain the creation of interactive and media-rich projects. Ad expansion of Scratch for mediation of animated stories, music videos, science projects, tutorials, and other contents necessitates multifaceted analysis of this programming environment and evokes the interest of researching Scratch from the math and linguistic perspective as one possible projection on various aspects of the considered programming language

THE STUDY OF THERMAL PROCESSES IN FISH&PLANT SEMI-PRODUCTS

The water-holding ability and forms of connection in fish&plant semi-products were experimentally studied using derivatograph Q-1500 D by «МОМ» of Paulik-Paulik-Erdey system (Hungry). Using the methods of thermogravimetry methods in experimental samples was synchronously measured the temperature (Т), change of mass (TG), speed of temperature change (DTG) and change of thermal capacity (DТА). According to derivatograms the volume of the mass loss (Δm) and derivative change of DGT mass of the studied sample at correspondent temperature were determined. The thermal resistance of samples was assessed by the methods of thermogravimetry (by admissible mass loss that takes place at certain temperature) and differential-thermal analysis (by thermal effects that attend the chemical transformations of macromolecules, which intensity depends on temperature). According to the results of thermogravimetric and differential-thermal examination there was carried out the comparative characterization of the quantity of absorption- and capillary bound water in studied samples of fish&plant semi-products and also determined the value of activation energy of water molecules at different temperatures of water removing. The dependence of DTG samples was divided in peaks using Gauss distribution. According to the analysis of DTG peaks the quantity of osmotic- and absorption-bound water was determined in the samples of minces, produced on the base of complex of raw and preliminary thermally processed muscular, connective and bone tissues of Azov goby (Neogobius melanostomus). The received results give a possibility to understand better the structural changes that take place in the process of drying of fish&plant semi-products. They can be used for optimization of the process of drying of fish&plant semi-products and prognostication of their technological behavior in the different food systems and at storage.&nbsp

Static Wettability of Differently Mechanically Treated and Amphiphobic-Coated Aluminium Surfaces

Wettability, roughness and surface treatment methods are essential for the majority of practical applications, where liquid–solid surface interactions take place. The present study experimentally investigated the influence of different mechanical surface treatment methods on the static wettability of uncoated and amphiphobic-coated aluminium alloy (AlMg3) samples, specially focusing on the interaction between surface finishing and coating. Five different surfaces were prepared: as-received substrate, polished, sandpapered, fleece-abraded and sandblasted. After characterisation, the samples were spray-coated using an amphiphobic coating. The characterisation of the uncoated and coated samples involved measurements of the roughness parameters and the apparent contact angles of demineralized water and rapeseed oil. The coating was initially characterised regarding its adhesion to the sample and elevated temperature stability. The applied surface treatments resulted in the scattered sample roughness in the range of Sa = 0.3–15.8 µm, water contact angles of θap,w = 78°–106° and extremely low oil contact angles. Coating the samples more than doubled the surface roughness to Sa = 13.3–29 µm, whereas the initial surface treatment properties (structure, anisotropy, etc.) were entirely repressed by the coating properties. Coating led the water contact angles to increase to θap,w_coated = 162°–173° and even more pronounced oil contact angles to increase to θap,o_coated = 139°–150°, classifying the surfaces as superhydrophobic and oleophobic

Modifications of the Correlation Method of Face Detection in Biometric Identification Systems

The accuracy of the functioning of modern neural networks both in the reproduction mode and in the learning mode remains insufficient for many practical tasks, therefore it is expedient to create new methods and algorithms for processing signals and data in neural environments. The purpose of the work is to create a pattern recognition method based on modified differential Hebb learning to increase the accuracy of the functioning of modern neural networks both in the playback mode and in the learning mode. Modifications of the correlation method of face detection were developed, which made it possible to reduce the total classification error by more than two times. A scheme of the parallel process of face recognition based on 2D and 3D images by the appropriate algorithm is proposed

Microlearning in Forming the Students' English Competencies with VR Involvement

Every year the problem of higher educational establishments’ modernization, introduction of the newest methods and strategies of educational process reorganization, estimation of achievements in the context of information technologies becomes more and more urgent. The situation with the COVID-2019 pandemic has demonstrated the need to involve additional information approaches to teaching within the system of blended learning in higher educational establishments. As a result, the question arises: what mechanisms can be used to make learning effective? The article reveals the concept of “microlearning” as the latest approach in education and identifies its key tools in formation of English-language competencies in university students. The study found that microlearning can be an effective complement to traditional learning, as it extends the learning process beyond the classroom on the basis of information technology, allows consolidating virtually and deepening the knowledge gained during practical classes, and provokes students to daily communication outside the establishment through social network. Moreover, we propose a strategy for implementation of microlearning on the example of the educational process at Kherson State Maritime Academy through interaction of practical classes in the line of communicative-competency approach, virtual and online learning on the principle of rotation.</em

Novel co-doped protonic conductors BaLa1.9Sr0.1In1.95M0.05O6.925 with layered perovskite structure

Active development of electrochemical devices such as proton-conducting fuel cells and electrolyzers should ensure sustainable environmental development. An electrolyte material of a hydrogen-powered electrochemical device must satisfy a number of requirements, including high proton conductivity. Layered perovskites are a promising class of proton-conducting electrolytes. The cationic co-doping method has been successfully applied to well-known proton conductors with the classical perovskite structure ABO3. However, the data on the application of this method to layered perovskites are limited. In this work, the bilayer perovskites BaLa1.9Sr0.1In1.95M0.05O6.925 (M = Mg2+, Ca2+) were obtained and investigated for the first time. Cationic co-doping increases oxygen-ion and proton conductivity values

Pesticides: Behavior in Agricultural Soil and Plants

This review considers potential approaches to solve an important problem concerning the impact of applied pesticides of various classes on living organisms, mainly agricultural crops used as food. We used the method of multi-residual determination of several pesticides in agricultural food products with its practical application for estimating pesticides in real products and in model experiments. The distribution of the pesticide between the components of the soil-plant system was studied with a pesticide of the sulfonylureas class, i.e., rimsulfuron. Autoradiography showed that rimsulfuron inhibits the development of plants considered as weeds. Cereals are less susceptible to the effects of pesticides such as acetamiprid, flumetsulam and florasulam, while the development of legume shoots was inhibited with subsequent plant death
