A comparison of the characteristics of the boundary layer with combustion with flame stabilization by a rib and a backward-facing step is performed. The data on the thermal boundary layer, the flame blow-off velocity, and the rate of ethanol evaporation into the air flow at a turbulence of up to 26% are obtained. It is shown that the temperature of the outer region of the boundary layer and the flame blow-off velocity behind the rib is higher than behind the backward-facing step. With both methods of flame intensity, the stabilization of evaporation corresponds to the transitional regime of mass transfer.

Results of an experimental study of the operation process in a model of an air-breathing combustor operating on heated kerosene with a supersonic air flow at the combustor entrance (Mach numbers 3 and 3.5) are presented. The tests are performed in a hotshot wind tunnel in the attached pipeline configuration with total temperatures of 2350–3250 K and pressures of 3.2–12.0 MPa. Data on ignition conditions and kerosene combustion efficiency are obtained. A principal possibility of using Ozawa's criterion and its modification for the description of the range of stable combustion of the kerosene–air mixture in a combustor duct with flame holders shaped as cavities and steps in an essentially three-dimensional flow is demonstrated.

The article is devoted to the evaluation of the role of science and higher education in the dynamics of development of the society on the global scale and in relation to Russia. There is proposed a law, according to which the rate of technological progress in the society is proportional to the level of payment of the higher education faculty. There is evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively the change of the role of Russia in the world science and education for the last 60 years. The greatest successes (entering the outer space, creating the nuclear missile shield, etc.) were achieved by the country in the years 1950 – 1960 due to the increase of the quality and role of public higher education and fundamental science. The decline in the prestige and payment in these areas of skilled labor, which occurred in Russia in the end of the last century, has reduced the role of Russia in the world in all areas.

The article focuses on the philosophy of cinema and education of one of the most prominent post-structuralists of the Twentieth century Gilles Deleuze. It is based on his work “What is philosophy?” and the two-volume “Cinema”. There is noted the philosopher’s unusual approach to the problems of cinema and education, their common points are emphasized. Deleuze has developed the “pedagogy of perception”: the training of the film perception and of the experience virtualization. The article explains its essence and also reflects on the philosopher’s ideas about the relationship between philosophy and cinema, cinema and education.

A critical view on modern education reflecting the historical period of transition from the traditional system of education to a new high-quality one cannot be constructed outside the philosophical-methodological basis of the core aspect of education, which is didactics. The social philosophy of education and the methodology of the pedagogical science didactics are united by gnoseology (epistemology), the theory of the objective reality cognition that has a direct relation to the students and pupils’ cognitive process. In our experience, the quality of education is achieved by innovative knowledge tests and educational (training) testing, especially at the pre-examination stage. The traditional testology, which is a science of monitoring and evaluating the quality of education, is used here in a new system of its synthesis with didactics, which is the theory of teaching. A functional integration of the two education-related sciences (didactics and testology) produces the surprisingly progressive results.

To reach their goals, the institutions of higher education employ the quality monitoring. The information, collected as a result of such monitoring, allows making informed management decisions and identifying the problem areas, which are then targeted with specific measures and improvement programs. This article describes the quality management system tools, which has been successfully implemented for quality monitoring of the educational processes in the Siberian University of Consumer Cooperatives.

The methodology of developing creative abilities of the person is based on the philosophical theses about the essence of the human being and his/her activity, as well as on the creative thinking concept which is based on dialectical logic. The dialectical laws manifest themselves by revealing the unity of the processes of development and creation; hence, there arises the primary theoretical foundation for understanding of creation. The phenomenology of creativity is considered through the chess players’ creative activity.

The work presents the rationale of development of multifunctional components and devices on children’s clothing as the psycho-pedagogical means of prevention the psycho-emotional disorders and psychosomatic disorders in preschoolers, related to the adverse emotional content of the parent’s relations with the child.
