    Between Tradition and Modernity : Sergei Vasilenko and His Unknown Works for Viola and Piano.

    No full text
    Sergei Vasilenko has been perceived as a conformist and inconsequential Soviet composer in post-Soviet Russia. The recent discoveries of unpublished documents reveal Vasilenko to be a talented musician whose search for a niche within the culture of Soviet music forced him to keep his true musical writings secret from the public in a drawer of his desk. The author of this thesis was fortunate to find a number of his unknown and unpublished compositions for viola and piano. In view of the paucity of music for stringed instruments in Russia in the first decades of the last century, Vasilenko’s seven compositions for viola, which are all different in style, mode and technique, assume especial importance. The analysis of these works shows that Vasilenko equally combined the elements of many diverse and often contradictory musical conceptions of the time, including the Silver Age, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and the Avant-garde. His innovative style – expanding the technical and sonorous potential of the instrument, and the rhythmic and harmonic resources of Russian music – launched new standards in viola performance and expanded its repertoire. This thesis investigates the language, performing issues and the reasons for the neglect of his viola works as well as their stylistic roots that spanned from Vasilenko’s interest in the Baroque to Russian liturgical music. The aim of this study is to re-evaluate the role of Vasilenko in the enhancement of the viola as a solo instrument in the twentieth century and bring his works to a concert platform. The analysis and discussion of these subjects rely heavily on unpublished and little-explored materials on Vasilenko from the archives in Moscow. This PhD submission has practical and written components that consist of the written thesis, edited musical scores and the first complete recording of Vasilenko’s compositions for viola and piano released by Toccata Classics

    The annotated list of 133 species of geometrids (Lepidoptera) from Dzungarian Alatau in Kazakhstan is given; 42 species are recorded for this ridge for the first time. The material is deposited in Institute of Animal Systematics and Ecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia) and in the private collection of the second author. The species Aplocera dzungarica Vasilenko, 1995, stat. resurr. is resurrected from subspecies to species. Diagnostic characters of the rare species Lycia degtjarevae Viidalepp, 1986 are summurized and differences from the alied species L. hirtaria (Clerck, 1759) are given. We established that the first species occurs in Central and Southern Kazakhstan, while reliable records of the latter one is known only from northern part of the country. Data on records of Xanthorhoe asiatica (Staudinger, 1882) and X. tauaria (Staudinger, 1892) on the territory of Russia belong to X. insperata (Djakonov, 1926) and X. dudkoi Vasilenko, 2009, respectively. A brief characteristics of the ecological structure of the geometrid fauna of Dzungarian Alatau is proposed. Features of species distribution on this territory are summurize

    Rheological properties of granular materials: critical parameters and mixing rules

    No full text
    Granular materials can be found at any stage of processing in many industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals, catalysts, and chemicals. These materials exhibit a variety of flow patterns, and their state and behavior differ from application to application. Since there is a lack of fundamental understanding of particulate or powder behavior, multiple problems can be encountered during routine manufacturing. Scale-up can also be a challenge, as the lack of constitutive equations for granular materials forces most scale-up efforts to follow the trial-and-error route. Powder characterization measurements are employed as both a selection tool and a predictive method for the material's process performance. Therefore, it plays a very important role in process and product development. The numerous existing methods used to characterize the flow properties of powders are mostly application-specific and it is not clear how they correlate with each other or with process performance. Moreover, understanding the relationships between the material properties and the processing conditions is necessary for a successful design of a continuous manufacturing system, which has been a major focus for pharmaceutical industry in the recent years. Before such changes can be implemented, a better understanding of fundamental physical phenomena governing powder flow behavior must be developed. In this work we study particulate/powder flow behavior experimentally using several characterization methods, including the Gravitational Displacement Rheometer (an avalanching tester), the rotational shear cell, and the compressibility tester. We establish the variables of interest through correlative comparison and study the differences and similarities between the methods in order to investigate particulate/powder flow behavior during processing and characterization. A mixing rule for principal stresses is developed through investigation of shear behavior of binary mixtures in a shear cell. In order to better understand the mixing rule the relationship between the particle-particle contact density and measured stresses in a powder bed is explored with DEM simulations. Powder testing methodologies were applied to a case study where the efficiency of the catalyst dry impregnation process was analyzed. As a result, predictive rules and characterization guidelines were developed for different powder systems subjected to various processing conditions.Ph.

Shiryaeva, G. Vasilenko Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Zaporozhzhia, Ukraine [email protected] Abstract The objective of this experiment was to establish sex-related differences in the parameters of bioimpedance spectroscopy of the Wistar rat’s bodies in the experimental metabolic syndrome (endocrine-salt model). Sexual dependencies of bioimpedance measurements in intact animals have been determined for the first time: males have higher amount of total fluid, but lower one of total fat. The intra/extracellular fluid balance in males is characterized with ratio 2:1, while in females is the other one - 1:1. For the first time the formation of the metabolic syndrome has already been determined on the seventh day in females which lead to decreasing in the percentage of total fat and to changing of the intra / extracellular fluid balance to ‘male’ type - 2:1. The last one should be considered as a sign of intracellular hyperhydration. In males the examined parameters have been being within the control values throughout 21 days of experiment. Key words: bioimpedance spectroscopy; sex-related differences; metabolic disorders; corticosteroids; rats

    “URIANKHAI ISSUE”IN FOREIGN POLICY OF RUSSIA IN EARLY 20TH CENTURY AND THE PROBLEM OF FOREIGN STATES’ PARTICIPATION IN IT

    No full text
    The article presents the analysis of the participation of foreign countries in solving the problems related to the management of domestic and foreign policy in Tuva in the ear-ly twentieth century.The problem of determining the legal and political status of Tuva and its territorial jurisdiction is traditionally bound in domestic and foreign historiography with the words “Uriankhaiissue”. The latter, as a rule, is considered in the context of rivalry be-tween Russia, China and Mongolia - the countries of the “Central Asian triangle”. The author pays attention to the interests of other countries, including Japan and the coun-tries of Western Europe, in this region. There has been conducted a generalized analysis of the information relating to the presence of Western industrial capital inTuva, shows the nature of the relations between the European entrepreneurs from Russia, China and Tuva authorities. The article provides the detailed facts of the presence of various groups of foreign citizens in the province in the period of the protectorate. In the context of the analysis of the general geo-political situation in Central Asia, the author describes the actions of the Russian authorities against foreign troops, including the methods and forms of work in that direction. The author comes to the conclusion that, despite the use of exclusively peaceful measure-sagainst foreign troops in Tuva, the local authorities sought to prevent any actions aimed at undermining the Russian positions in the region. For this reason, depending on the geopolitical situation in Tuva, the regime of stay of foreigners, issuance of permits softened or hardened. The author concludes the study with the description of the events of the 1920s, the time when there was a change of concept relations with foreign states due tothe Bolsheviks’ coming to power
