Finite element modelling of inter-ply delamination and intra-yarn cracking in textile laminates
The aim of the current study is to demonstrate the effect of inter-ply delamination on stiffness degradation of multi-ply woven composites. Such a demonstration becomes possible due to new technique of modelling textile laminates. It is based on set of boundary value problems for unit cell of a single ply, where boundary conditions imitate interaction with the other plies. Once these problems are solved, local stress distribution and stiffness of the laminate are determined analytically as function of number of the plies and local stress/strain fields obtained in these problems. Hence, it opens the road for an efficient modelling of delamination, which is described as gradual reduction of plies in the laminate
Analysis of the Literary Text's Conceptosphere in the Process of Teaching Literary Translation
AbstractThe paper is devoted to the problem of the concept “painting” realization in the “Moon and sixpence” by S. Maugham. It is argued that application of cognitive discourse analysis and analysis of the conceptosphere of the literary text is helpful in overcoming difficulties in interpretation of the original literary text. Various methods of studying literary text existing in modern methodology are shown. The contribution of Russian and foreign science in determining approaches to the analysis of communicative and cognitive components of the text and application of interdisciplinary approaches and consideration of cultural aspects of literary texts of the target language are emphasized. The need for incorporating development of important translational competences into the process of carrying out cognitive-discourse analysis of the literary text is demonstrate
On Homoclinic Solutions of a Semilinear -Laplacian Difference Equation with Periodic Coefficients
We study the existence of homoclinic solutions for semilinear -Laplacian difference equations with periodic coefficients. The proof of the main result is based on Brezis-Nirenberg's Mountain Pass Theorem. Several examples and remarks are givenA.

Impulsive aggressiveness of pregnant women affects the development of the fetal heart
Mounting evidence indicates that the development of the fetus is heavily
influenced by the intra-uterine milieu during pregnancy, and that such
influence may have life-long consequences for the individual. The intra-
uterine milieu is not only influenced by nutritional factors, but also by
maternal endocrine and autonomic activity. Such activity is prone to be
affected by an individual's personality, but only little is known about
influences of maternal personality on the development of the fetus. We tested
pregnant women for their propensity for impulsive, uncontrollable outbursts of
temper (referred to here as moderate Intermittent Explosive Disorder, mIED).
After the women gave birth, we measured electrocardiograms (ECGs) from their
newborn infants to compare ECGs between newborns of women with and without
mIED. The data show that infants of women with mIED have larger QRS complexes
in the electrocardiogram, and lower heart rate variability, compared to
infants of women without mIED. These results reveal effects of maternal mIED
on the fetal heart development. These effects may predispose the individual to
increased risk for later cardio-vascular disease. The findings open
perspectives for better risk prevention models for the unborn child
