Modern Museum Communications as a Means of Visitors Attracting

The purpose of the study is to analyze the websites of museums in Russia in the European context. The Fine Arts museums in five regional centers of Russia and European Union, namely, in France, Germany, Poland, Croatia, and Lithuania were chosen for the assessment of their websites by four criteria: design, content, usability, and dynamism. A rating of the target Russian museum websites was compiled based on a comparative analysis of their compliance with these criteria. The findings allow concluding that some of the web resources of Russian regional museums meet the European standards, which let them powerfully join the modern virtual space and win both Russian and foreign audiences. The scienсe-based approach to a single virtual cultural space, which is currently on the focus of the museum institutions, supports the assumption of the museum websites to be a potent tool for the art communication with society. The practical value of the study is determined by possible uses of the results in streamlining and upgrading the museum sites, as well as in courses and training programs on museology, management, and marketing of social and cultural activities

Reduction of power consumption during arc welding operation

The work is devoted to energy saving during arc manual welding operations. Power sources for arc manual welding are rectifiers with slow or steeply falling current-voltage characteristics. The paper considers two ways of energy saving during arc welding operations. The first way is to increase the efficiency of welding by replacing the ballast rheostat with a special electronic device that regulates the welding current instead of the ballast rheostat. The second way is to increase the efficiency of the welding equipment by replacing a traditional one-bridge rectifier with the two-bridge economical rectifier. An approximate calculation of the annual economic effect from the replacement of a ballast rheostat by the electronic regulating device is given on the example of welding operations in a typical assembly shop

Bounds for the Tail Distributions of Suprema of Sub-Gaussian Type Random Fields

The paper presents bounds for the distributions of suprema for particular classes of ϕ-sub-Gaussian random fields. Results stated depend on representations of bounds for increments of the fields in different metrics. Several examples of applications are provided to illustrate the results, in particular, to random fields related to stochastic partial differential equations and partial differential equations with random initial conditions

At the radiation complex of the INR the original methods of producing heat-resistant nanoporous films of increased thickness and strength the newest polymers of Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (IMC), promising for use in industry, have been successfully implemented. By bombing of polymer films by a-particles with energy of 27,2 MeV the first samples of nanoporous materials, which fully meet the requirements of track membranes in terms of shape and pore size have been produced. The results of study of the structure of the nuclear membranes obtained are presented. The first tests have shown that polycyanurate track membranes can be used for filtration of gases.

It has been experimentally proven that it is possible to produce nanoporous materials of the nuclear filter group from the film polycyanurates. As the prospect of progress in the technology of nanoporous films from polycyanurates, the possibility of involvement of radiation polymerization mechanisms to obtain filter materials with desired physicochemical properties and structure is considered.

Le plurilinguisme à l’épreuve de la traduction

Le présent recueil d’articles explore certaines marges de la traduction, des domaines périphériques où tant le traduire que le traduit posent problème. C’est le cas textes où la langue étrangère se présente comme un objet, une image représentative de l’Autre. La situation linguistique particulière de certains pays et aires culturelles peut rendre possible l’écriture de textes mettant deux ou plusieurs langues en contact. Il importe de rendre ce plurilinguisme, c’est‑à‑dire ne pas traduire ce qui se présente comme un corps étranger dans le texte d’origine. Mais comment faire lorsque le lecteur de l’œuvre de la langue cible ne possède pas potentiellement les mêmes compétences linguistiques que le lecteur de la langue source ? Les mots étrangers peuvent être transcrits fidèlement, phonétiquement ou encore être mélangés à la langue du locuteur, ce qui dénote des attitudes différentes envers l’Autre, sa communauté linguistique ou, plus largement, envers l’univers étranger, et peut se présenter comme un jugement. Les articles qui suivent examinent les questions de la restitution de la langue mêlée à des ancrages culturels spécifiques dans la traduction. Ils s’interrogent également sur la possibilité de restituer l’effet de la lecture produit dans une culture cible, la possibilité d’imiter une situation de diglossie ou encore représenter l’étrangeté avec ses spécificités d’origine

Thermally stable nanoporous cyanate ester resin/linear polyurethane hybrid networks created by nuclear technologies

International audienceThermally stable nanoporous polymer films have been created as promising materials for membrane technologies. Thermosetting Cyanate Ester Resins (CERs) and linear polyurethane (LPU) were combined by stepwise thermal curing, and the films of resulting hybrid polymers were irradiated with α-particles followed by chemical etching. Well-defined highly regular nanoporous structures were developed in the films as evidenced by using SEM. No significant changes in chemical structure of the polymer systems obtained after α-irradiation were observed by FTIR spectroscopy measurements. The polymer films obtained on the basis of hybrid networks with the CER/LPU composition equal to 90/10 wt.% had quite narrow pore diameter distribution with average pore diameters around 12 nm. DSC and TGA measurements showed that the thermal characteristics of the nanoporous films were sufficiently high (Тg ~ 167 °C to ~199 °C, Тd5% ~ 293-359 o C, and Тd max ~ 429-457 o C). The CER/LPU nanoporous thermosetting materials demonstrated effective gas transport properties tested with gases, such as О2, СО2, N2, and СН4. The combination of an additional sensitization step using -rays and longer time of chemical etching improved the properties of the nanoporous systems developed. Such materials open the way to numerous applications, for example, as ultrafiltration membranes for advanced technologies, especially under extreme conditions

Propos sur l'intraduisible

Alors que l’activité de traduction est universelle, se pose la question de la part du traduisible et de l’intraduisible et, surtout, celle de la nature de ce dernier. La traductologie (Jakobson, Mounin, Meschonnic, Berman) a théorisé de diverses manières la traduction, ses processus et ses acteurs, de l’auteur en langue source jusqu’au lecteur en langue d’accueil, le possible, le nécessaire et l’impossible à traduire. Dans la pratique, tout traducteur littéraire est confronté à des éléments qu’il juge « intraduisibles », mais les textes traduits proposés à la lecture se présentent implicitement comme les équivalents exacts des originaux et comportent rarement la trace des hésitations et interrogations des traducteurs, le plus souvent sous la forme de notes explicatives en bas de page. L’intraduisible peut être d’ordre référentiel : l’inexistence dans la langue d’une culture donnée d’une entité quelconque, matérielle ou notionnelle, peut aller de pair avec une existence de moyen lexical. Ce fait a été décrit à propos des traductions de la Bible, dans la confrontation du vocabulaire liée à la neige chez les Inuits, etc. L’intraduisible est ici tout relatif et relève encore du domaine de l’explicable. L’intraduisible peut être plus proprement linguistique : les jeux de mots, mais aussi certains traits grammaticaux, faits de morphologie ou tournures syntaxiques peuvent gêner, voire empêcher la traduction, ou au contraire, contraindre le traducteur à prendre des décisions que l’auteur n’a pas eu à prendre. Est-il possible et nécessaire d’expliquer une assonance, l’emploi d’une structure syntaxique ? Il s’agit d’étudier l’intraduisible dans la pratique du traducteur, la nature de l’intraduisible, les « techniques » d’évitement ou d’affrontement mises en œuvre pour produire un texte cohérent et lisible. Les langues mises en présence seront le français, l’allemand et les langues slaves
