Measurements of the spark breakdown voltage between carbon electrodes in hydrogen, argon, nitrogen, and air are given for ranges of the product p (mm. Hg) × d (cm.) between 0.1 and 1000 mm. Hg cm. The results show that in each gas Paschen's Law is obeyed for pd > 10 mm. Hg cm. For pd < 10 mm. Hg cm. deviations from Paschen's Law were observed at the longer gap lengths. The minimum spark breakdown voltage, Vsm, occurred near pd = 1 mm. Hg cm. The normal cathode-fall voltage, Vcn, was also measured, and was found to be less than Vsm in hydrogen, argon, and air, and greater than Vsm in nitrogen. A theoretical analysis is made which predicts the relationship Vcn = 1.110 Vsm and the reasons why this condition is seldom found in practice are discussed.

A development and evaluation the Cloud Computing (ClComp) of Ministry of Electricity and Energy of Egypt (MEEE) is presented in this paper. In order to be able to judge whether the ClComp of MEEE is competence, there is a need to develop criteria which performance can judged. Competency based standards and the ability to perform the activities within an occupation to the standard expected in the organization structure are presented. The key objective of Cloud Computing is to integrate Authorized Groups (AuthGs) development with the needs of the organization structures of MEEE. The ClComp of MEEE was developed jointly between the telecommunication information technology and ClComp services. Evaluation enables participant to distinguish between AuthGs centered view and a customer centered view of cloud computing of MEEE is competence evaluation. Recognize the main types of evaluation, explain the purpose of evaluation compare the approaches to cloud computing evaluation and review the relationship between the process and policy of evaluation are investigated. Microprocessor architecture presented an optimistic view of multicore scalability to develop the ClComp. Moreover this paper investigates the theoretical analysis of multiprocessor developing and scalability. The analysis was based on the laws of Amdahl's, Gustafson's, Hill's and Marty for fixed-workload condition. Moreover, challenged the difficulties to develop better cloud computing is taken into account. Also, multicore analysis of ClComp scalability, performance and power under fixed-time and memory-bound conditions are studied. These results complement existing studies and demonstrate that ClComp architectures are capable of extensive scalability and developing.

In a pulsed arc with mercury electrodes the average column field strength Eco was measured for different currents I, and the relationship [Formula: see text] was found. The variations of arc current and voltage with time indicate that the anode and cathode fall regions have a combined thickness of 3 × 10−6 cm, and an average field strength of 2 × 106 V/cm. The arc plasma is formed mainly from mercury vapor, rather than from the surrounding gas.

Taking a point of departure in the paradoxical fact that the increase in educational knowledge leads to an increase in uncertainty for educational organisations, this article explores how uncertainty and contingency have increasingly become an integral part of school governance. The article draws on Niklas Luhmann’s theory of ‘World Society’ as a functional differentiated society providing a range of different symbolic media for educational organisations. To trace the increase in the complexity of governing, we provide a historical account of the shifting couplings between schools and function systems. We show how the school becomes linked to an increasing number of symbolic media so that education becomes only one out of many other concerns. The article studies the consequences these shifting couplings have for how schools are governed and how they are expected to self-manage their relationship to different function systems. The article adds to existing studies of how education has become more and more differentiated with the argument that this has also led to new forms of couplings between schools and the education system with a number of important implications for the teaching profession.

An improved ultrahigh upper gate 4H-SiC metal semiconductor field effect transistor (IUU-MESFET) is proposed in this paper. The structure is obtained by modifying the ultrahigh upper gate height h of the ultrahigh upper gate 4H-SiC metal semiconductor field effect transistor (UU-MESFET) structure, and the h is 0.1 μm and 0.2 μm for the IUU-MESFET and UU-MESFET, respectively. Compared with the UU-MESFET, the IUU-MESFET structure has a greater threshold voltage and trans-conductance, and smaller breakdown voltage and saturation drain current, and when the ultrahigh upper gate height h is 0.1 μm, the relationship between these parameters is balanced, so as to solve the contradictory relationship that these parameters cannot be improved simultaneously. Therefore, the power added efficiency (PAE) of the IUU-MESFET structure is increased from 60.16% to 70.99% compared with the UU-MESFET, and advanced by 18%.

The article is devoted to the study of such an important psychological phenomenon as an attitude of women to their own motherhood. It is summarizes the study of the problem of motherhood in psychological science in general. The article analyzes the problem of the influence of the relationship with the mother in childhood on the formation of a woman's attitude to her own motherhood in adult age. It is illuminates views of foreign and national researchers on the study of this phenomenon, as well as the essence of different areas of research on this phenomenon. Based on the theoretical analysis of the literature on this topic, the concept of "motherhood", its content and psychological essence is studied. Cultural-historical, biological, physiological and psychological aspects to the study of motherhood are singled out. The main content of scientific views on the formation of the phenomenon of motherhood is generalized. The main factors influencing the development of a woman's maternal sphere and the formation of the attitude to one's own motherhood are analyzed and considered. The content of such basic concepts as "mother's image" and "maternal relations" is revealed. The psychological features of the formation of an adequate image of the mother in the theoretical analysis of the ontogenesis of the maternal sphere are analyzed. The article also reveals the dynamics of motherhood in ontogenesis. The types of maternal relations and their role in the life of a mature woman are determined, as well as the influence of these relations on the formation of a woman's attitude to her own motherhood. The influence of different types of relationships between women and their own mothers on the level of formation of their attitude to personal motherhood has been empirically studied. Two groups of women were studied, one group had a positive relationship with their own mother, and the other had a negative one. In the course of the research the differences between different types of maternal relations and the level of formation of a woman's personal attitude to motherhood are singled out.

The introduction outlines the motivation for investigating the relationship between autonomy and rationality in contemporary bioethics, and maps the contours of a pre-theoretical understanding of autonomy, in preparation for the theoretical analysis to come. Having noted some apparent ambiguities and tensions within the widely accepted assumption that there is a close relationship between autonomy and rationality, the author briefly distinguishes procedural and substantive accounts of autonomy, and identifies Beauchamp and Childress’ pioneering work in the principles of biomedical ethics as providing the standard account of autonomy in bioethics. He outlines some objections to the standard account, and goes on to outline a framework that is used in the rest of the book for developing a rationalist account of autonomy that aims to avoid these objections.

Nickel layers with tensile or pressure residual stress were prepared by electroforming technique from two kinds of electrolyte. Subsequent heat treatment was adopted to get the stress released. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) were measured with a thermal dilatometer and the relationship between residual stress and the measured CTEs was revealed both from experimental results and theoretical analysis.

Based on the self-sustaining condition of the discharge, a theoretical analysis was carried out in order to identify the minimum possible breakdown voltage. It is shown that a weak nonuniformity of the electric field in the discharge gap leads to an increase in the static breakdown voltage in comparison with the Paschen’s law. A strong nonuniformity of the field in diodes of coaxial and spherical geometry also cannot provide a decrease in the minimum breakdown voltage in comparison with the case of a plane-parallel gap. It is proved that of all symmetric geometries of a gas-filled diode, the planar geometry has the lowest breakdown voltage.
