International innovation and investment activity occupy a special place in the system of modern international business. The authors propose an economic and mathematical model for assessing the sensitivity of international innovation and investment projects by the criterion of net present value. It is advised to use the obtained sensitivity indicator as an additional one in assessing the economic efficiency of international innovation and investment projects of an enterprise. The proposed model makes it possible to determine the effect of several internal parameters simultaneously on the net present value of the project.

The moment-independent importance measure (IM) on the failure probability is important in system reliability engineering, and it is always influenced by the distribution parameters of inputs. For the purpose of identifying the influential distribution parameters, the parametric sensitivity of IM on the failure probability based on local and global sensitivity analysis technology is proposed. Then the definitions of the parametric sensitivities of IM on the failure probability are given, and their computational formulae are derived. The parametric sensitivity finds out how the IM can be changed by varying the distribution parameters, which provides an important reference to improve or modify the reliability properties. When the sensitivity indicator is larger, the basic distribution parameter becomes more important to the IM. Meanwhile, for the issue that the computational effort of the IM and its parametric sensitivity is usually too expensive, an active learning Kriging (ALK) solution is established in this study. Two numerical examples and two engineering examples are examined to demonstrate the significance of the proposed parametric sensitivity index, as well as the efficiency and precision of the calculation method.

Telah dilakukan uji tak merusak komponen lock actuator menggunakan teknik radiograji neutron. Lock actuator adalah perangkat mekanik yang dikontrol oleh Central Lock lvlodule yang berisi rangkaian elektronik, yang mengatur agar lock actuator bekerja untuk membuka atau mengunci pintu mobil. Uji tak merusak menggunakan teknik radiograji neutron ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis kerusakan dari komponen lock actuator dengan membandingkan yang rusak dengan yang baru. Metoda yang dipakai untuk ~lji tak merusak komponen lock actuator adalah metoda jilm (metoda langsung). Dari hasil radiograji terbukti ba/nva pengambilan gambaI' telah memenuhi standar radiograji ASTM dengan densitas background 2.2, 7 garis, 3 lubang pada sensitivity indicator (SI) dan hasilnya memberikan gambaI' yang cukup baik. Pada lock actuator bani terlihat motor DC-nya masih dalam kondisi baik, sedangkan lock actuator yang rusak terlihat lapisan isolator pembatas kumparan sudah meleleh. Dengan ~lji tak merusak menggunakan teknik radiograji neutron dapat dideteksi secm'a dini jenis kerusakan komponen lock actuator yang terdapat pada bagian dalamnya tanpa harus membongkarnya.

One of the most common damages in asphalt mixes is the destructive effect of moisture on the binder cohesion and binder–aggregate adhesion which is called moisture damage. There are various methods to improve adhesion and reduce moisture damage in asphalt mixes. The most common of them is using an appropriate additive for binder modification. Accordingly, the current research was conducted to investigate the effect of two nanomaterials (Nano CuO, and Nano SnO2) in 2 different percentages on 2 types of aggregates (granite and limestone) and a type of base binder. In order to investigate the effect of nanomaterials, indirect tensile cyclic loading (the same as resilient modulus test) in dry and wet conditions and surface free energy (SFE) method were used. The moisture sensitivity indicator which shows stripping percentage of aggregate surface in loading cycles using SFE results and indirect tensile cyclic loading, has been considered as the moisture sensitivity indicator in this research. Results of mechanical tests used in this research show that nanomaterials have significantly increased asphalt mixes strength in comparison to control specimens. Results obtained from SFE method show that nanomaterials increase the cohesion free energy; this change causes a reduction in the possibility of failure in binder membrane. Additionally, nanoparticles have increased and reduced basic component and acidic component of SFE, respectively. This leads to improvement of their adhesion with acidic aggregates, which is sensitive to moisture damage.

The article considers the information modeling of buildings together with the foundation within the information system and the stages of its implementation. The workflow for building a 3D geotechnical model includes surface relief data, field and laboratory test data, soil lithology, geometric characteristics of the foundation structure and load. Automated systems with processing and interpretation of test data are used to determine the characteristics of soils. Mathematical modeling of the behavior of the foundations of the foundations with various input data is performed using analytical solutions and numerical methods. The natural heterogeneity of soil properties and its impact on the behavior of buildings is estimated by the sensitivity indicator of the foundation-foundation system by introducing virtual workings between the existing normative ones and the subsequent calculation of the precipitation and roll of the foundation.

We analyze phase interferometry realized with a bosonic Josephson junction (BJJ) made of trapped dilute and ultracold atoms. By using a suitable phase sensitivity indicator we study the zero temperature junction-states useful to achieve sub shot-noise precisions. Sub shot-noise phase shift sensitivities can be reached even at finite temperature under a suitable choice of the junction state. We infer a scaling law in terms of the size system (that is, the number of particles) for the temperature at which the shot-noise limit is not overcome anymore.
