Modern trends and challenges of development of global aluminum industry

This article overviews complex study into modern trends and challenges of development of global aluminum industry. Dynamics, structure, and segmentation of global aluminum market are discussed in terms of systematic analysis. On this basis strategic map of the industry has been plotted and five forces of competition on global aluminum market have been determined which will influence directly on functioning and development of aluminum producing companies

Educational and methodological enrichment of the learning process of foreign medical students

The process of internationalization and globalization is being actively implemented in domestic higher education, determining the degree of competitiveness of Russian universities. One of the indicators of Russian university participation in this process is the education of foreign students. Today, within the framework of the strategic program in the sphere of higher education policy «Education in Russia» («Обучение в России») more than 30 universities of our country train students from foreign countries. Teaching foreign students actualizes the search for new ways, methods, approaches to their educational process. In this regard, the question of normative-legal and educational-methodological support of the process of teaching foreign students, as well as its regular enrichment is particularly relevant. On the basis of the studied material, the article presents a theoretical substantiation of educational and methodological enrichment of the learning process in higher education by creating and approbation a textbook of a foreign language (English) for foreign students of medical specialty. The features of the composition of the content of the textbook in a foreign language (English) for foreign students of medical specialty are revealed. The significance of the system of exercises, including text-based tasks and lexical task-based tasks, is revealed. The authors’ examples are provided

Special features of the 9^9Be→\to2He fragmentation in emulsion at an energy of 1.2~A~GeV

The results of investigations of the relativistic $^9$Be nucleus fragmentation in emulsion which entails the production of two He fragments of an energy of 1.2~A~GeV are presented. The results of the angular measurements of the $^9$Be$\to$2He events are analyzed. The $^9$Be$\to^8$Be+n fragmentation channel involving the $^8$Be decay from the ground (0$^+$) and the first excited (2$^+$) states to two $\alpha$ particles is observed to be predominant.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, conference: Conference on Physics of Fundamental Interactions, Moscow, Russia, 5-9 Dec 2005 (Author's translation
