As the studied plaster contain various amount of super absorbent polymers, they are primarily intended to control relative humidity levels in both building envelopes and interior environments.

In order to investigate that effect, the material parameters of all studied plasters were determined and then, series of computational simulations was carried out.

It also suggests ways for the use of the learning curves. Two types of LC were obtained: short-term and medium-term memorization. Comparative analysis of the two curves suggests that the subject continues learning for up to 14 hours after the completion of a flash memory session since medium-term memorization tests readings are consistently higher than those for the short-term memorization. The paper presents various approximations of the learning curve and the functions that fit best the LC for foreign language learning. Based on a comparison of the results of the approximations of the experimental LC by functions of various types a conclusion has been drawn that all of them provide satisfactory results, with logarithmic and polynomial approximations slightly better than the others. Based on these findings, forecasts for subsequent learning achievements and proposals for further studies are made.","PeriodicalId":20565,"journal":{"name":"PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING 2019 (ICCMSE-2019)","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78362293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Model description and forecasting of migration processes is necessary to optimize the flow of labor resources between labor markets that arise as a result of new trends in migration and reform of society. Weak regulation of labor migration in the absence of a complete information base necessary for migrants to decide on the optimal choice of the region of destination of migration, leads to an increase in the share of labor migrants employed in the informal sector of the economy, which as a result reduces the potential of human capital in the regions. The analysis of migration processes shows the need to simulate the dynamics of migration flows, which allows to describe the trends in the redistribution of labor in the current period and to make forecasts for the short-term long-term perspective. In this regard, a number of existing types of models of population migration were considered and dynamic models of population migration were based on them. We developed a model tool based on a dynamic game model of labor migration, which determines the value of migration flows in the conditions of uneven distribution of income levels of the population in the regional labor markets. In accordance with the proposed model, migration flows tend primarily to regions with more attractive working conditions, in our case – to regions with higher wages. Based on the data obtained in the simulation, we can talk about a significant decrease in the average wage level in the sectors of the labor market occupied by migrants in the regions of attraction.Effective regulation of labor migration implies the need to predict the volume, structure and direction of migration.

The results for the gamma passing rate (%GP) obtained from TL tend to be higher from those obtained by PD. We found that the values of %GP obtained by the two methods become comparable when the dose difference criterion used for TL data is 8 to 10 times smaller than the same criterion used with PD data.

Catania metropolitan area is characterized by a highly urbanized settlement with high percentage of urban sprawl. The General Master Plan of the city, shaped in 1964 and finally endorsed in 1969, severely reduced the opportunity for new developments by allocating areas for new urban facilities. The process of urban sprawl is mainly characterized by residential settlements. This aspect together with an inadequate road network and an insufficient public transport service brought to the growth of private cars on the roads, generating serious traffic congestion and making Catania based on a car-oriented model. Lately these conditions are changing as a consequence of the development of the underground metro network that connects the main city’s service centers like the hospitals, the university (and soon also the Airport) to the city center. To achieve sustainable transportation and resolve the aforementioned problems, we have applied TOD criteria to some of the main city’s transport junctions (selected using the Multi Criteria Decision Aid methodology) in order to fulfills the principle of sustainable transportation.In recent years, the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) is increasingly applied to urban development based on the principles of smart growth and sustainable development.

One approach is the equilibrium assessment of the kinematic theorem through the use of a kinematic collapse load calculator (KCLC). Utilizing a custom KCLC developed and validated from an experimental arch, with the added control of the single degree-of-freedom rotations, an analytic solution is developed between the applied acceleration and the minimum time duration required for collapse. The collapse multiplier and arch centroid data is recorded for all the admissible conditions that exist in the spatial deformation propagation. From this information, the work required to collapse the arch under kinematic equilibrium is established and utilized to decompose the static and kinematic energy contributions. The time-displacement domain is then defined from the resulting kinematic energy of the overloaded arch and used to evaluate the time where the kinematic energy exceeds the remaining work required for the loss of the kinematically admissible condition. This results in a simple analytical function linking excess static acceleration with a time limit of recovery.The collapse of dry-stack masonry arches results from the transformation of a static system to a mechanical state through the development of mechanical joints.
