The article discusses the results of the impact of WorldSkills International Movement on the development of national higher education.The authors analyze the main stages of its development, the results of the implementation of WorldSkills standards in the Russian higher education system, dwell on the procedure for the formation of the system of com
This paper extends the threshold stochastic volatility (THSV) model specification proposed in So et al.(2002) and Chen et al.(2008) by incorporating thick-tails in the mean equation innovation using the scale mixture of normal distributions (SMN).A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to estimate all the parameters and latent va
PURPOSEWe aimed to determine the ablation characteristics of discontinuous moving shot technique (DMST) in microwave ablation (MWA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA), and analyze the differences compared with fixed electrode technique (FET) in an ex vivo porcine liver model.METHODSFET was defined as the ablation needle remainin
We used simulation modeling to estimate the effect of low-flying military jet aircraft on the productivity of caribou.The base model (CARIBOU, CWS Whitehorse, Yukon Territory) uses daily intake and expenditure of energy to assess the condition of female caribou throughout the annual cycle.The activity budget of the model caribou was adjusted based
