Analysis of Teaching Physics Through Interim Language as Preconditions for Humanitarian Training of Science Teachers for Differentiated Approach in CLIL

The paper studies the humanitarian component of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) science training of teachers by reviewing theoretical researches and practical approaches presented in scientific reports and analyzing the results of an experiment conducted with international first-year students of Volgograd State Medical University (VolgSMU) when studying physics in English as the interim language. The research design involves seeking the humanitarian components of CLIL science teachers’ training by studying scientific reports and analyzing the preparedness of international VolgSMU students in physics. Main findings include determination and the description of significant heterogeneities among the CLIL students related to their preliminary preparedness subject and language components. The research results can be applied to design the CLIL science teachers’ training for (1) conducting the educational process in a non-native language with the application of a differentiated approach and relying on integrated linguistic and methodical techniques, and (2) analyzing the preliminary preparedness of students for CLIL education on the example of teaching physics in English

Asymptotic representation of a solution to a singular perturbation linear time-optimal problem

A time-optimal control problem is considered for a linear system with fast and slow variables and smooth geometric constraints on the control. An asymptotic expansion of the optimal time up to the second order of smallness is constructed and validated. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Prospects of Using Composite Materials in Oil and Gas Industry

In the world practice, composite materials are widely used in the oil and gas industry. In particular, fiberglass is used for production of field pipelines and reservoirs for storage of hydrocarbons, but this material has not been widely used in the Republic of Belarus, which raises questions, since glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) has a number of advantages compared to the metal of which the equipment is manufactured at present

Assessment of complex risk in main pipeline transport

In this article was given a description of new method of complex risk assessment in the main pipeline transport. At the stage of structure analysis was proposed to use the methodology of functional modeling. At the stage of risk assessment at functioning of pipeline transport was shown practicability to use the logicalprobabilistic calculus. At the stage of getting local probabilities of dangerous events was suggested to apply the method of expert evaluations

Application of hydraulic turbines in the main oil pipelines

In this article, in order to follow the world trends in energy savings and finding alternative ways of generating electricity the possibility of using hydro turbines on the main oil pipeline has been offered. A placement of hydraulic turbine on the main oil pipeline was proposed by the end of the gravity section of the pipeline route
