New class I methanol masers
We review properties of all known collisionally pumped (class I) methanol
maser series based on observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array
(ATCA) and the Mopra radio telescope. Masers at 36, 84, 44 and 95 GHz are most
widespread, while 9.9, 25, 23.4 and 104 GHz masers are much rarer, tracing the
most energetic shocks. A survey of many southern masers at 36 and 44 GHz
suggests that these two transitions are highly complementary. The 23.4 GHz
maser is a new type of rare class I methanol maser, detected only in two
high-mass star-forming regions, G357.97-0.16 and G343.12-0.06, and showing a
behaviour similar to 9.9, 25 and 104 GHz masers. Interferometric positions
suggest that shocks responsible for class I masers could arise from a range of
phenomena, not merely an outflow scenario. For example, some masers might be
caused by interaction of an expanding HII region with its surrounding molecular
cloud. This has implications for evolutionary sequences incorporating class I
methanol masers if they appear more than once during the evolution of the
star-forming region. We also make predictions for candidate maser transitions
at the ALMA frequency range.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, to appear in proceedings for IAUS 287: Cosmic

The Australia Telescope campaign to study southern class I methanol masers
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Mopra facility have been
used to search for new southern class I methanol masers at 9.9, 25 (J=5) and
104 GHz, which are thought to trace more energetic conditions in the interface
regions of molecular outflows, than the widespread class I masers at 44 and 95
GHz. One source shows a clear outflow association.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure (composed from 3 files), to appear in proceedings

Advances in Calibration and Imaging Techniques in Radio Interferometry
This paper summarizes some of the major calibration and image reconstruction
techniques used in radio interferometry and describes them in a common
mathematical framework. The use of this framework has a number of benefits,
ranging from clarification of the fundamentals, use of standard numerical
optimization techniques, and generalization or specialization to new
algorithms
Tolerance and challenges of intercultural interaction among students
The paper presents the research results on correlation between the parameters of communicative tolerance and intercultural adaptation of international students in a multinational university (Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU). 42 respondents took part in the research from different parts of the world: Asia (China), Africa, the countries of Central Asian region. The level of communicative tolerance was measured with the following techniques: Β«General communicative toleranceΒ» by V. V. Boyko, the questionnaire of human adaptation to new socio-cultural environment by L. V. Yankovsky, Kruskal-Wallis one way analysis of variance was used for statistics. The study reveals that high rate of communicative tolerance, as a whole, has positive impact on intercultural adaptation of international students in Russia.

Model Checking Probabilistic Pushdown Automata
We consider the model checking problem for probabilistic pushdown automata
(pPDA) and properties expressible in various probabilistic logics. We start
with properties that can be formulated as instances of a generalized random
walk problem. We prove that both qualitative and quantitative model checking
for this class of properties and pPDA is decidable. Then we show that model
checking for the qualitative fragment of the logic PCTL and pPDA is also
decidable. Moreover, we develop an error-tolerant model checking algorithm for
PCTL and the subclass of stateless pPDA. Finally, we consider the class of
omega-regular properties and show that both qualitative and quantitative model
checking for pPDA is decidable
