The subject of the research is technical studies of the system of prefabricated monolithic frame structures in China and the Russian system of structures “Rekon”. The scientific novelty of the research performed is as follows. - the development of prefabricated monolithic systems in China and some other countries is analyzed, and the Chinese prefabricated frame system and the Russian Recon system are analyzed in detail: optimizing methods for connecting prefabricated elements can significantly improve construction efficiency and building stability, as well as reduce construction difficulties; based on a comparative analysis of prefabricated monolithic systems, a strategy for optimizing structural interface nodes is proposed.

Сборно-монолитные здания – распространенный вид строительства на сегодняшний день. Сборно-монолитные здания появились в России в 1970-х годах и в Китае в 1990-х годах. В данной работе сравнивается распространенная китайская модель строительства, имеющей стеновую конструктивную схему, с наиболее похожей российской системой. Анализ конструктивного исполнения узлов сопряжения несущих стен между собой показал их низкую несущую способность при действии сейсмических нагрузок. В работе выполнено математическое обоснование и разработано предложение по усовершенствованию данных узлов сопряжения путем введения в их работу шарниров, что значительно увеличивает несущую способность стыкового соединения при действии сейсмических нагрузок. / Prefabricated monolithic buildings are a common type of construction today. Prefabricated monolithic buildings appeared in Russia in the 1970s and in China in the 1990s. This paper compares the common Chinese construction model, which has a wall structure, with the most similar Russian system. An analysis of the design of the joints between the load-bearing walls showed their low load-bearing capacity under the action of seismic loads. The work carried out a mathematical substantiation and developed a proposal to improve these interface units by introducing hinges into their operation, which significantly increases the load-bearing capacity of the butt joint under the action of seismic loads.

The goal of this thesis is to develop nontraditional strategies to provide motion control for different engineering applications. We focus our attention on three topics: 1) roll reduction of ships in a seaway; 2) response reduction of buildings under seismic excitations; 3) new training strategies and neural-network configurations. The first topic of this research is based on a multidisciplinary simulation, which includes ship-motion simulation by means of a numerical model called LAMP, the modeling of fins and computation of the hydrodynamic forces produced by them, and a neural-network/fuzzy-logic controller. LAMP is based on a source-panel method to model the flowfield around the ship, whereas the fins are modeled by a general unsteady vortex-lattice method. The ship is considered to be a rigid body and the complete equations of motion are integrated numerically in the time domain. The motion of the ship and the complete flowfield are calculated simultaneously and interactively. The neural-network/fuzzy-logic controller can be progressively trained. The second topic is the development of a neural-network-based approach for the control of seismic structural response. To this end, a two-dimensional linear model and a hysteretic model of a multistory building are used. To control the response of the structure a tuned mass damper is located on the roof of the building. Such devices provide a good passive reduction. Once the mass damper is properly tuned, active control is added to improve the already efficient passive controller. This is achieved by means of a neural network. As part of the last topic, two new flexible and expeditious training strategies are developed to train the neural-network and fuzzy-logic controllers for both naval and civil engineering applications. The first strategy is based on a load-matching procedure, which seeks to adjust the controller in order to counteract the loads (forces and moments) which generate the motion that is to be reduced. A second training strategy provides training by means of an adaptive gradient search. This technique provides a wide flexibility in defining the parameters to be optimized. Also a novel neural-network approach called modal neural network is designed as a suitable controller for multiple-input multiple output control systems (MIMO). / Ph. D.

The focused of this study is the role of capacity building in Community Home Based Care (CHBC) for HIV/AIDS patients. The study forms part of my Master's in Development Administration programme, undertaken through UNISA. The dissertation was accomplished by studying the TASO community initiative in Sseeta-Nazigo, Mukono District, Uganda. It explores the concept of capacity building and its applicability to CHBC. The primacy data was gathered by conducting Key Infonnant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The secondary data was gathered by reviewing literature to augment the primary data. In addition, data was gathered through observations within the community. The fmdings have identified seven critical components of capacity building: community mobilisation, skills development, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT), networking and collaboration, support and supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The study observed that capacity built in the above areas resulted in three outcomes: skills development, improvement in procedures, and institutional development. Informed recommendations were subsequently made related to the seven componentsof capacity building in CHBC / Development Studies / M. A. (Development Studies)

Diploma thesis deals with comparing of current awards by Classification of building structures and works and awards by Functional parts. It is possible to calculate Building life cycle costs by Functional parts. This is definately the advantage of the system because the calculation cannot be done by Classification of building structures and works. A new law on public procurement deals with Building life cycle costs as an evaluation criterion. So it is recommended to use Functional parts awards. The other goal of the thesis is to find bridges between Functional parts and the issue of BIM. BIM is a trend of global construction industry.
