Darbo objektas. Danieliai gyvenantys Raseinių urėdijos Viduklės girininkijos Blinstrubiškių miške ir aptvare. Darbo tikslas - Ištirti danielių aklimatizacijos eiga Raseinių miškų urėdijoje. Darbo metodai - Gyvenamosios aplinkos tinkamumo vertinimas Danielių kiekybinė ir kokybinė apskaita aptvare prie šėryklos Laisvėje gyvenančių danielių apskaita pagal ekskrementus. Danielių žievės laupymo poveikio įvertinimas žėliniams, želdiniams ir medynams. Darbo rezultatai. Raseinių miškų urėdijos Viduklės girininkijos Blinstrubiškių miško masyvo plotas yra tinkamas danielių populiacijai gyventi. Gyvenamoji aplinka yra įvertinta 65 balais, o šis balų skaičius parodo, kad danielių gyvenamoji aplinka priklauso vidutinių plotų kategorijai. Aptvare gyvena I – III amžiaus grupės patinai, ir I – IV amžiaus grupės patelės. Daugiausia gyvena III amžiaus grupės patinų (50% nuo visos bandos), o patelių daugiausia gyvena I ir III amžiaus grupių kurios sudaro 57,2% nuo visų aptvare gyvenančių patelių. Danieliai sėkmingai aklimatizavosi ir veisiasi, kasmet danielių skaičius didėja, 2008 metais laisvėje gyveno13 danielių (2 patinai, 7 patelės, 4 jaunikliai), o 2010 metais laisvėje gyvena 40 danielių (8 patinai, 14 patelių 18 jauniklių). Vidutinis danielių poveikio žėliniams, želdiniams ir tiksliniams medynams laupymo intensyvumas Blinstrubiškių miške yra 5,1%. / Object of work. Fallow-deer living in Blinstrubiškės Forest and enclosure of Raseiniai Forest Enterprise Viduklė Forest District. Objective of work – to examine the course of fallow-deer naturalization in the territory of Raseiniai Forest Enterprise. Methods of work – Assessment of the suitability of dwelling surroundings Quantitative and qualitative counting of fallow-deer in the enclosure by the feeding place Counting of freely-roaming fallow-deer by excrements. Impact evaluation of bark peeling by fallow-deer to plants, afforested areas and tree stands. Findings of work. The area of Blinstrubiškės Forest expanse in Raseiniai Forest Enterprise Viduklė Forest District is suitable for the dwelling of fallow-deer population. The dwelling surroundings were rated at 65 points, ascribing the dwelling surroundings of fallow-deer to the category of moderate areas. The enclosure contains bucks of age category I – III and does of age category I – IV. Mostly these are bucks of age category III (50 % of the entire herd), and does of age category I and III, comprising 57.2 % of all does living within the enclosure. The fallow-deer have successfully naturalized and keep breeding. The number of fallow-deer increases annually: in 2008 there were 13 fallow-deer living in freedom (2 bucks, 7 does, 4 calves), and in 2010 there were 40 (8 bucks, 14 does, 18 calves). Average impact intensity of bark peeling by fallow-deer to plants, afforested areas and tree stands in Blinstrubiškės forest... [to full text]

The design of automatic systems for steering a ship presents difficult challenges because of their dynamic properties which vary considerably within the range of sailing conditions. Automatic steering of ships has its origin at the beginning of the century and was prompted by the introduction of the gyrocompass. Until the earlier 70s almost all autopilots for a ship were based on the proportional-derivative-integral (PID) controller. The main disadvantage with PID controllers is that the optimal parameters setting can be achieved only for a particular sailing condition. This shortcoming was and is still dealt with in the framework of adaptive theory where the controller parameters are adjusted in the attempt to seek the optimum of a pre-set performance function. Despite such a potential advantage, at present adaptive control theory is limited to linear plants and requires a certain amount of a-priori information for a successful application. This thesis is concerned with the applicability of intelligent control techniques to the problem of designing course-keeping and course-changing autopilots for ships. For this reason the framework of intelligent control theory is introduced and a pragmatic definition of intelligent controllers is stated. The learning and adaptive features of neural networks and fuzzy logic systems are exploited and used to solve advantageously the control design problem. Adaptive networks are used as a unifying structure where different kinds of neural networks and fuzzy logic paradigms can be described. In this framework, comparisons between neural networks and fuzzy logic systems are made and results from one field can be easily extended to the other. Although the use of such systems for the design of autopilots is in its early stage, the majority of the contributions which have appeared in literature have focused on the use of feedforward networks trained with the back-propagation algorithm. The main contributions of this thesis are the critical analysis of the feedforward network controller trained with the back-propagation algorithm, the proposition of an alternative controller architecture based on the use of radial basis function networks and to give conditions under which the stability analysis of the intelligent controllers so designed can be evaluated.

This student work contains description and application of complete audit works. This student work is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the practical one. In the theoretical one I was interested in basic principles of audit, such as definition, functions, legal requirements and detailed actions during the whole process of audit. All mentioned procedures are applied in the practical part of my work. The true and fair view, especially whether financial statements present fairly in all material respects the assets, liabilities and financial position of the audited company, Company{\crq}s acting in accordance with law and verification of audit documentation are the main goals of the student work.

The thesis deals with the issues of record keeping of the municipal property with regard to their development. The main goal is an identification of obtaining information resources for property passportization from time and financial point of view. The property passportization is defined as multifunctional record keeping and the thesis contains a proposal based on experience (for real estate -- on the basis of real situation in municipalities). The draft of the evidential card is created in Microsoft Excel.

This thesis deals with the book-keeping on the computer and accounting software evaluation. The theoretical part includes chapters about history of book-keeping, legal regulation related to book-keeping using ICT, impacts and risks of ICT on book-keeping and business information system. The knowledge from the theoretical part is used in the practical part, which is addressed to the evaluation of specific information system Navision.

Appointment no-shows are a problem in healthcare organizations. It is important that appointment intake and scheduling processes are effective in both meeting client needs and efficient in meeting organizational business requirements. This study examined baseline levels of appointment keeping in a not-for-profit medical/behavioral pediatric services clinic, analyzed existing administrative processes, introduced additional appointment keeping reminders, and presented systematic, performance management tutorials for clinic employees. Results indicate an increase in percentage of appointments kept and a decrease in appointment lag time.
