Since the Arctic is poorly covered by ground observations, one of the most reasonable approaches to investigating these events is hydrodynamical high-resolution modeling. In this work we apply a model COSMO-CLM to reproduce wind fields and characteristics in different rugged shore conditions. Some model experiments are designed with this regional climate non-hydrostatic atmospheric model COSMO-CLM to investigate the best configuration to reproduce the mesoscale circulations in the Arctic coastal zones considering different relief conditions on the example of the Kara Sea. Some mid-term experiments of a three-month timespan, Aug-Oct of 2012 and Jul-Sep of 2014, are conducted over the Arctic domain and specially over the Kara Sea region using a downscaling approach with ∼12 and ∼3 km horizontal grids. These periods are characterized by some storm events. The purpose of these experiments is to reproduce the surface w...

The comparative morphological analysis also included four representatives of Hystricognathi: Echimys sp., Proechimys sp., Cercomys cunicularis, and Hystrix indica. Laonastes and ctenodactylids have a number of common ancestral traits in the morphology of m. cutaneus trunci. This suggests that they are probably related to the ancestral forms of Ctenohystrica. However, the structural similarity of the subcutaneous muscle in Diatomyidae and Ctenodactylidae is based not only on plesiomorphic (presence of the medial head of m. cutaneus trunci), but also on an apomorphic (the development of the thoracoabdominal portion) feature which is common to both branches of Ctenohystrica (Ctenodactiloidea...

To reduce the risk of failures and outages the use of modern sensor and monitoring systems forces the implementation of fiber optic sensor systems. Fiber optic sensor systems are presented for the detection of acoustic partial discharges at cable connectors, switchgear and high energy transmission systems. Similar technology is used to assess the condition of circuit breaker. An additional application for photonic detection of partial discharges is shown too by the use of a photon sensitive fiber. Signal processing is applied for automated identification of defined patterns to separate partial discharges from noise for online monitoring as well as condition monitoring of circuit breaker based on acoustical analysis. All these modern techniques are presented for the use at energy transmission and distribution equipment.

The aim of the study is to analyse existing tests for assessing agility in combat sports and martial arts, as well as to develop new tests and to test their effectiveness. Material and methods. The study involved 16 athletes at various competitive levels specialising in hand-to-hand combat. It used the following methods: review of specialised literature along with policy and normative documents, an expert survey, testing, instrumental methods of assessing psychophysical capabilities, a pedagogical experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The article clearly delineates the concepts of “agility” and “coordination”. It was found that most of the exercise tests recommended for assessing agility actually only evaluate coordination, without taking into account unexpected and unpredictable situations, which are the key components of agility. While some tests allow for the assessment of agility, they are based on motor actions which are non-specific for com...

To reveal and summarize the peculiarities of athlete preparation system functioning in the Netherlands. Methods. Analysis and generalization of data from scientific and documentary sources. Results. The main goal of sport development is to make the Netherlands among the top ten world’s leading sports countries. The development of sport is the responsibility of the National Olympic Committee with sports federations, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Social Welfare and Sport. Since 2004, the country has implemented four-year sports development programs. The main efforts are aimed at creating an effective and flexible organization of the sports sector with the introduction and application of modern principles of management and integrity; the achievement of stable and higher sport financing to make it financially secure, diversified and actively developing; the formation of an appropriate infrastructure; the development and implementation of training programs that...

To carry out a comprehensive analysis of the schemes of direct preparation of top-level athletes for the main competitions of the year or macrocycle focused on achieving the state of the highest readiness for the start. Methods. Study and analysis of scientific literature and practice of elite athletes training for the main competitions, instrumental methods for studying the energy systems capacities, psychomotor capabilities, testing of specific working capacity, historical method, logical method, expert survey, and system integrative approach. Results. Comparative analysis was performed of alternative models of preparation during the time immediately preceding the main competitions of the year or macrocycle. The short-term (2–3 week long) Western model of tapering is aimed at ensuring a full recovery after the previous loads, technical and tactical and psychological adjustment to the start. The Eastern European model, which is longer in duration (of up to 8 weeks), has ...

Methods. Analysis and generalization of scientific and documentary data. Results. The Federal Government and the Canadian Olympic Committee, national sports federations, sports training centers, provincial governments, and numerous sports organizations act as partners for the preparation athletes for the Olympic Games. The government agency Sport Canada implements its policies and takes part in shaping the Canadian sports system through these bodies. Legislative and political acts have been adopted, including position document Canadian Sport Policy, that contribute to continuous increasing of the government infl uence on the development of sports in Canada through the funding and monitoring mechanisms. The special program Own the Podium serves as a basis for the purposeful strategy of training Canadian athletes for the Olympic Games. Effective management structures have been established aimed at op...

However, there is a lack of transparency due in part to the emerging nature of the Russian market, which includes the lack of effective regulatory oversight, no universally recognized GAAP, and managers unaccustomed to western-style financial reporting practices. Time-series analysis is hampered by the short public life of companies, annual inflation rates which peaked at 2600% in 1992, and changing and inconsistently applied GAAP through the years. Cross-sectional analysis is very difficult. Russian financial statements have limited footnote disclosure and use a hybrid cash/accrual accounting system. For example, accounts receivable are on the balance sheet but revenue is determined under a cash basis. Intangible assets are rarely recognized and tangible assets owned before 1994 were erroneously revalued by the State. Finally, with marginal tax rates exceeding 90%, net income is often significantly understated.
