In the Collection of Armenian proverbs by Aram Ghanalanyan the proverbs
in which the Armenian traditional holidays are mentioned constitute a certain
number.
We suggest uniting in two groups the proverbs, which have holiday references, diffused in different thematic sections and chapters, as well as in the appendices of the collection of proverbs. These two groups include: sayingsproverbs, which are based on a) interrelation of the time and holiday, and b) one or another attribute of the holidays. In a part of sayings-proverbs, referring to time, the question is directly about the time in the semantic context, according to which everything has its time. In case of other proverbs, the question refers to the seasonal-climatic changes of the time. The latter are based on the folk ecological knowledge, preserved in the feast tradition. In this group of proverbs the holidays play a role of the real medium of time calculation. The following series of proverbs present primary associations, connected to the feast, specific descriptors of the holidays, which are, as a rule, more connected to their external, secular, rather
than deep mythological aspect.

In the present paper the common semantic fields among the English neologisms are represented with the aim to show the characteristic features of the social life of the English speaking people and the reflection of those features in the language. The neologisms are taken from authentic and naturally occurring language use to show their pragmatic and stylistic values. The new words can express the political, economic, scientific and other aspects of social life and also the change of the society's way of thinking. We are reassured that neologisms reflect transparently the change in the people's perception of life in general, they express the problems existent in the society in the given period, the ways people are looking for to solve the problems and the struggle between different parties of people who do not share opinions ; Հոդվածում քննության են առնված անգլերենի նորաբանությունների առավել հաճախադեպ իմաստային խմբերը՝ անգլիախոս հասարակության կյանքում տեղի ունեցող փոփոխությունների և վերջիններիս լեզվական արտացոլման լույսի ներքո։ Նորաբանությունները վերցված են լեզվի կիրառության իրական օրինակներից, ինչը հնարավորություն է տալիս ավելի ակներև դարձնելու նրանց իմաստագործաբանական և ոճաբանական առանձնահատկությունները։ Կան որոշակի իմաստային ոլորտներ (մասնավորապես` քաղաքական, տնտեսական, գիտական և այլ ոլորտներ), որոնց վերաբերյալ նորաբանությունները բավականին բազմաքանակ են։ Նորաբանությունները քննելիս ևս մեկ անգամ համոզվում ենք, որ հասարակության մեջ տեղի ունեցող փոփոխությունները և առկա խնդիրները իրենց արտացոլանքն են գտնում լեզվում։ ; В статье взяты на рассмотрение лексические группы наиболее часто встречающихся неологизмов английского языка в свете изменений в жизни англоязычного общества и языковых отражений последних. Неологизмы взяты из реальных примеров применения языка, что даёт возможность сделать наиболее явным их лексико-семантические и стилистические особенности. Есть некоторые лексические сферы (в частности, политическая, экономическая, научная и другие сферы), в отношении которых неологизмы довольно многочисленны. При ...

The problem of person's acmeological culture in the field of personal and professional activity was investigated. The dynamic model of acmeological culture of person, which consists of such functional elements as self-estimate, motivation and active life position, was described. The role of the acmeological culture was shown as integrative factor, which stimulates the process of achievement of "acme" in all spheres of human activity through understanding, realization and actualization of their needs, values and interests.

The social-political thought of Diaspora highly criticized the policy of militray commuism of the newly sovietized Armenia in 1920-1930s. The reapplication of cruel experience that was failed in Russia was a real nonsense for Armenia that was destroyed after the wars. Moreover, the explanations for the expropriations have no justification.The policy of military communism in Armenia that was facing serious social-political period also had its consequences.The representatives of the social-political thought of Diaspora were of the same opinion that it was the main reason for February revolution.

The use of visual sensors in providing the necessary information for the autonomous guidance and navigation of the unmanned-air vehicles (UAV) or micro-air vehicles (MAV) applications is inspired by biological systems and is motivated first of all by the reduction of the navigational sensor cost. Also, visual sensors can be more advantageous in military operations since they are difficult to detect. However, the design of a reliable guidance, navigation and control system for aerial vehicles based only on visual information has many unsolved problems, ranging from hardware/software development to pure control-theoretical issues, which are even more complicated when applied to the tracking of maneuvering unknown targets. This dissertation describes guidance law design and implementation algorithms for autonomous tracking of a flying target, when the information about the target's current position is obtained via a monocular camera mounted on the tracking UAV (follower). The visual information is related to the target's relative position in the follower's body frame via the target's apparent size, which is assumed to be constant, but otherwise unknown to the follower. The formulation of the relative dynamics in the inertial frame requires the knowledge of the follower's orientation angles, which are assumed to be known. No information is assumed to be available about the target's dynamics. The follower's objective is to maintain a desired relative position irrespective of the target's motion. Two types of guidance laws are designed and implemented in the dissertation. The first one is a smooth guidance law that guarantees asymptotic tracking of a target, the velocity of which is viewed as a time-varying disturbance, the change in magnitude of which has a bounded integral. The second one is a smooth approximation of a discontinuous guidance law that guarantees bounded tracking with adjustable bounds when the target's acceleration is viewed as a bounded but otherwise unknown time-varying disturbance. In both cases, in order to meet the objective, an intelligent excitation signal is added to the reference commands. These guidance laws are modified to accommodate measurement noise, which is inherently available when using visual sensors and image processing algorithms associated with them. They are implemented on a full scale non-linear aircraft model using conventional block backstepping technique augmented with a neural network for approximation of modeling uncertainties and atmospheric turbulence resulting from the closed-coupled flight of two aerial vehicles. ; Ph.

This papers estimates the equilibrium exchange rate for Armenia using three different approaches: the purchasing power parity (PPP) approach, the behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) approach, and the external sustainability (ES) approach. All three approaches suggest that the dram was overvalued by about 20-30 percent prior to the devaluation of the dram in March 2009
