There is a well-known connection between the structure and dynamics that is present in molecular and colloidal systems. Using this connection as a guide we are able to design interparticle potentials that optimizes the diffusivity of a single particle. While structure-dynamic correlations provide the insight that diffusion could be enhanced, the effect of this enhancement on the dynamics of neighboring particles is more difficult to quantify. A novel method for calculating position-dependent dynamics is introduced that can be easily implemented into existing simulation protocols. The computational requirements are very low compared to existing methods and this technique can also be applied to a wide variety of systems, including experiments where particle trajectories can be determined. Using this method, the position-dependent diffusivity of solvent particles in the vicinity of a tracer particle can be measured. This information allows for determination of the microscopic changes that take place as a result of the optimization discussed above. To study the effect of a non-continuum solvent, we design a system that eliminates inhomogeneous structuring near an interface. Hydrodynamic theory can predict the position-dependent diffusivity of a sphere in continuum solvent. Comparing these systems not only highlights the difference in position-dependent dynamics for continuum and non-continuum solvents, but is a starting point to study what happens to dynamics when structure is reintroduced. This allows us to answer many other questions about the relationships between structure and dynamics. While these connections have been studied extensively for average properties, they have not been explored for their position-dependent counterparts. For bulk fluids, the insertion probability and two-body excess entropy has proven useful for predicting average dynamic properties. We develop expressions for the position-dependent versions of both of these quantities. We show that when using the appropriate reference state the position-dependent diffusivity can be qualitatively related to the insertion probability. / text

ITC/USA 2014 Conference Proceedings / The Fiftieth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 20-23, 2014 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CA / In this paper we consider the possibility of using a communications system that is operating between probes on the surface of an asteroid and an orbiting satellite to more accurately determine spatial positions. This is done by measuring the round trip communication delay between the orbiter and various surface probes to estimate distance. From these distance measurements, the position can be determined using trilateration - the same basic technique behind the earth-based GPS system. Within the framework of this scenario, the location of the probes or the orbiter can be determined depending on the scenario.

ITC/USA 2013 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Ninth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 21-24, 2013 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / We investigate pulse position modulation (PPM) and multipulse PPM (MPPM) for free space op- tical channels using bit interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding. Data bits are first encoded by using a non recursive convolutional code and the coded bits after an interleaver are modulated before transmission. Iterative decoding is performed at the receiver. Optimized mapping is designed for MPPM. A genetic algorithm is used to find the optimized mapping for MPPM. Our simulation results show that a significant improvement in the error performance can be achieved by using optimized mapping and iterative decoding at the receiver.

E. Janavičius „Surface position errors formation for axel type parts”. Mechanical Engineering Master‘s Theses / Leader ass.prof J.Rimkus; Siauliai University, Chair of mechanical Technology. – Siauliai, 2006 – 31p. The investigation work „Surface position errors formation for axle type parts�� consists of 28 figures, 5 references. Subject of investigation is surface position errors of the parts. Aim of the investigation is formation of surface position errors in manufacturing process. Axel type parts surface position errors formation during treatment, are presented in the work. The surface position error chains are made with a help of graphs. It is hard to estimate what will be the eventual measurement after the part is fully made, because of the errors that appear in the manufacturing process. In this work were analyzed what surface position errors appears and disappears and witch stays after manufacturing process is over. Using graphs and incidentic matrix were analyzed different surface position errors occasions.

Statusas tarpusavio savybių sistemoje yra labai reikšmingas asmenybę formuojantis veiksnys. Turėdamas tam tikrą statusą, atlikdamas tam tikrą vaidmenį, paauglys mokosi vykdyti visuomenės keliamus reikalavimus.Jeigu aplinkinių sukurtas statusas yra paugliui priimtinas, tai pauglys gerai jaučiasi aplinkoje, gali pilnai save relizuoti. Izoliacijos sukeltos neigiamos emocijos dažnai skatina paauglį nederamai elgtis, o tai sudaro pagrindą formuotis neigiamoms asmenybės savybėms. Problema- mokytojai stokoja kompetencijos socialinių mokinių gebėjimų plėtotei. Tyrimo objektas- socialinė atskirtis paauglių tarpe. Klausimas: Kaip pasireiškia socialiniai ar pedagoginiai veiksniai, nulemiantys moksleivio statusą klasėje? Tikslas: Numatyti prevencines priemones, padedančias išvengti socialinės atskirties.

This master paper deals with the problem if there is any coherence between parenting positions and schoolchildren’s learning motives and motivation. The tasks of the investigation were: 1) to ascertain the level of schoolchildren learning motivation and prevailing learning motives; 2) to compare the level of learning motivation and learning motives between girls and boys; 3) to ascertain prevailing parenting positions and 4) to ascertain connections between schoolchildren learning motives, learning motivation and parenting positions. Methods of the research: studying and analyzing sociological, psychological and pedagogical literature, forming, statistical methods. Learning motives scale (Zambacevičienė, Janulytė, 1998; Pileckaitė-Markovienė, 2001), learning motivation form (Елисеев, 2000) and parenting position form (Немов, 2000) were used as evaluation tools. 204 children (104 girls and 100 boys) from third and fourth grade and their parents were investigated by these methods. The results of the research showed, that inner learning motives (N=191), social recognition motives (N=186) and negative stimulation motives (N=164) are important for the most part of children, and they are more important for girls then boys. It was found, that girls learning motivation level (x=3.605, σ=1.046) is higher than boys (x=3.150, σ=1.166), and difference between girls and boys learning motivation level is statistical significant and substantial (t=2.933, p=0.004). It was found, that most... [to full text]

In this study the author attempts to identify factors that are determinants for why some pupils in Swedish grade school have high status in comparison with their peers. The study takes on the characteristics of both an ethnographic and a literature study by comparing the findings of interviews carried out with students of a first grade class with previous research. The study identify several tools for analyzing of how status may be understood in specific situations.The study also finds that important factors for gaining high status amongst children in aschool classes might be the ability to apply access strategies to get accepted in social interactions, such as game play, have the ability to create games that are enjoyed by peers and social skills, to name a few. Overall the study shows that children's game play with each otherare crucial for their social interactions and their social position. The study also show that children that have earlier established relationships with other children in a specific group alsohave a better opportunity to establish a high status position.

Position Effect Variegation (PEV) is the mosaic expression of a gene that has been moved out of its optimal environment and into a different area on the chromosome. Changing a gene’s environment may have profound effects on its eligibility for proper expression, which is a complicated process regulated by many factors. The PEV phenomenon is used as an assay to study gene expression as regulated by chromatin structure. In this study, the Drosophila melanogaster white gene was used as a reporter to study the various effects of CHD1, a chromatin regulating factor, on PEV gene expression. Inspired by preliminary data generated by the Armstrong Lab where overexpression of CHD1 resulted in suppression of gene silencing of the brown gene and loss of CHD1 resulted in enhancement of gene silencing, this study uses PEV as an assay to examine whether loss of function chd1 mutant alleles function dominantly to enhance silencing of the white gene when it is placed in a repressive chromatin environment. Surprisingly, I found that a chd1 loss of function mutant allele dominantly suppressed gene silencing (meaning I saw an increase in gene expression), suggesting that the CHD1 protein is normally required for effective silencing. The results demonstrated that CHD1 is a dominant modifier of PEV gene expression. CHD1 significantly modifies gene expression by suppressing silencing of the white gene inserted into pericentric heterochromatin on the second and fourth chromosomes and an insertion into the medial region of the fourth chromosome, while it shows no significant modification of the white gene inserted into telomeric heterochromatin of the fourth chromosome. Together, these intriguing results regarding varying gene expression at different chromosomal sites show that PEV is a dynamic phenomenon meriting further research and studying the effects of CHD1 as a modifier of PEV may be influential to understanding the mechanism and characteristics of gene expression.
