Abstract A method for determining the effect of suspension dynamics on tire wear has been developed. Typical city cycle maneuvers are defined by instrumented vehicle testing and data in the form of forward velocities and steer angles are used as an input to an ADAMS computer model of the vehicle. A simulation of the maneuvers generates a tire's operating environment in the form of normal load, slip, and camber variations, which contain all the subtle effects of the vehicle's suspension, steering, and handling characteristics. A cyclic repetition of the tire's operating environment is constructed and used to control an MTS Flat-Trac machine. In this way, accelerated tire wear can be generated in the laboratory which is directly related to the design features of the vehicle's suspension and steering systems.

Subject. The military-industrial complex is one of the core industries in any economy. It ensures both the economic and global security of the State. However, the economic security of MIC enterprises strongly depends on the State and other stakeholders. Objectives. We examine key factors of corporate culture in terms of theoretical and practical aspects. The article identifies the best implementation of corporate culture that has a positive effect on the corporate security in the MIC of the USA, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan ans China. Methods. The study employs dialectical method of research, combines the historical and logic unity, structural analysis, traditional techniques of economic analysis and synthesis. Results. We performed the comparative analysis of corporate culture models and examined how they are used by the MIC corporations with respect to international distinctions. Conclusions and Relevance. The State is the main stakeholder of the MIC corporations, since it acts as the core customer represented by the military department. It regulates and controls operations. The State is often a major shareholder of such corporations. Employees are also important stakeholders. Hence, trying to satisfy stakeholders' needs by developing the corporate culture, corporations mitigate their key risks and enhance their corporate security.

В статье систематизированы основные критерии, необходимые для определения нормативных сроков эксплуатации бетонных и железобетонных конструкций, проведен анализ состояния отечественной и зарубежной нормативной базы в отношении требований к срокам службы железобетонных конструкций, рассмотрены основные нормативно-технические документы в области проектирования железобетонных конструкций зданий и сооружений по их жизнен-ному циклу. Описаны виды коррозионных повреждений железобетонных конструкций и определяющие их факторы, приведены согласованные на международном уровне модели долговечности для некоторых деградационных процессов. На основе проведенных работ подготовлены предложения по оценке коррозионного состояния эксплуатировавшихся железобетонных конструкций, их остаточной несущей способности, эксплуатационной пригодности, ожидаемого срока службы в заданных агрессивных условиях и методов определения нормативных сроков службы железобетонных конструкций. Даны предложения по разработке и актуализации ряда релевантных нормативных, технических и организационно-методических документов.

Pedigree for Windows is a user-friendly program that allows the user to trace agronomic characteristics, draw pedigrees, and view images of several fruit crops, including more than 1400 apple, 800 strawberry, 800 almond, 100 blackberry, 80 blueberry, 790 pear, 200 raspberry examples. Pedigree Import Wizard®© for Windows is an add-on software for users who are interested in importing their research or breeding data records of fruit, flower, and plant characteristics and any related images into Pedigree for Windows. Pedigree for Windows and Pedigree Import Wizard have been designed so that a user familiar with the Windows operating environment should have little need to refer to the documentation provided with the program. Pedigree Import Wizard uses a comma-separated value (csv) file format under the MS Excel environment. This option allows the user to add or import additional data to the existing database that are already stored in other software such as Lotus, Excel, Access, QuattroPro, WordPerfect, and MS Word tables, etc., as long as they work under the Windows environment. A free demo version of Pedigree and Pedigree Import Wizard for Windows is available from http://www.pgris.com.
