The paper presents the results of the noise propagation analysis in ship structures tested in a number of AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply) vessels. Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) based on numerical model developed specially for the purpose of this numerical investigation were conducted. This numerical model enabled the analysis of both the structural elements and the acoustic spaces. For the detailed studies 47 points fixed at various ship locations were selected. Prediction results with use of the numerical model were compared with the experimental results carried out in six identical AHTS vessels. Experimental studies were performed in accordance with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution A.468 (XII). As a result one presented a comparison of the model analysis and experimental tests results.

The paper deals with the preparation and measurement of an experimental polymer graphite cathode that

seems to be a promising and cheap source of electrons utilizing cold field-emission in high- and ultra-high

vacuum. Polymer graphite seems to be a proper material as it contains a large amount of hybridized carbon

with a low degree of surface oxidation and silicon monoxide (SiO). Within the frame of this work, a special

experimental method of tip preparation has been designed and tuned. This method is based on ion milling

inside a dual-beam electron microscope enabling to obtain ultra-sharp tips of a diameter smaller than 100 nm

with a predefined opening angle. The charge transport within experimental samples is evaluated based on

results provided by the noise spectroscopy of the total emission current in the time and frequency domains.

In the paper, a general topology of continuous-time Active-RC filter is presented. The model includes all possible Active-RC filter

structures as particular cases and allows us to analyze them using a unified algebraic formalism. This makes it suitable for use in computeraided analysis and design of Active-RC filters. By its construction, the model takes into account the finite DC gain and the finite bandwidth as well as non-zero output resistance of operational amplifiers. Filters with ideal OPAMPs can be treated as particular cases. Sensitivity and noise analysis of Active-RC filters is also performed in the proposed general setting. The correctness of the model is verified by comparison with SPICE simulation.
