Mestizo in the World of Culture: Gustav Lebon and Afanasy Prokopyevich Schapov
The article is devoted to the key theories of crossbreeding. The pessimistic theory of A. Gobino stands out, shared by Louis Bussenard, the author of the adventure novel ”The Thieves of Diamonds”, G. Lebon’s theory of demarcation, and A. Shchapov’s optimistic theory. The concept of Afanasy Schapov is introduced into the anthropological and genderological discourse, it is proposed for further study and reception.

The design and development of early Soviet atmospheric research rockets are described
Foreign Direct Investment between the EU and EAEU
This study is part of the “Challenges and Opportunities of Economic Integration within a Wider European and Eurasian Space” project, an ambitious undertaking seeking to scope the complex issues and potentials for economic cooperation between the European Union (EU) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), as well as with third-party countries of the vast Eurasian landmass. It is based on the intense research going on in over 25 countries, including Member-States of both the EU and the EAEU, the United States, China, Japan, Turkey and Ukraine, and on the results of seven international project workshops held at IIASA from June 2013 to April 2016, which discussed and synthesized these analyses. The project workshops were attended by renowned academics and high-level policymakers, including representatives from the European Commission and the Eurasian Economic Commission. This report presents the synthesis of three years of multi-disciplinary work
Realization of energy-saving control modes on cranes of great load-carrying capacity
Saving energy is highly important for all types of lifting machinery. Research shows that it is possible to reduce energy consumption in mechanism drives at all stages of movement. Energy-saving control has already been implemented on cranes at the Dnister Hydroaccumulating Power Plant. The article describes the conditions and results of the implementatio
The influence of liquid on the deformation behavior of human dentin
The influence of liquid on the mechanical properties of human dentin under uniaxial compression is studied in this work. It has been shown that the storage of samples for 24 h in water, acetone, and glycerin does not lead to a change in the microstructure or to qualitative changes in the mechanical behavior of dentin, which continues to be highly elastic; capable of considerable plastic deformation; and a strong, hard tissue. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
