The multifaceted interrelationships of the various media are now considered to be a particular productive area of comparative strategy. The generalised typology among the types of intermedia at the present stage is considered to be the most fruitful and effective, in particular, ekphrasis and intermedia – a particular manifestation of intermedia, the phenomenon of specific expressive mediation of one media in the figurative field of another. Intermediate format, developed by the interaction of different sign systems and the content encoded by them, mainly – literature and other arts with emphasis on the sign and semantic correspondence of comparisons, has significant artistic effectiveness. A way to realise the ekphrasis of the reception as a description of the case is any kind of art in the literary text. At the same time, the preferred determinant of ekphrasis as a description of a work of art in a literary text is suggested to be its relation to a specific work of authorship, although it also assumes the spread of the ekphrasis to similar or non-existent but genre conventional art variants with a pre-eminent inheritance of the corresponding art. In determining the universal common principles of organising such sovereignty of sign systems, positioned in the status of local variants of different discursive practices in the process of their syncretic interaction in the literary dimension, effective for illuminating the raised issue are primarily the tendencies of the extracurricular direction of literary criticism, initiated by Lotman's semiotic concept, initiated by the first concept, the imposition and intersection of semantic spaces capable of generating new meaning. The empirical plan of ekphrasis is vividly and convincingly actualised in the novels of famous Serbian writers A. Gatalica, M. Pavić, G. Petrović, G. Ćirjanić. Innovative creative experience of artists testifies to a special sophistication, content, accuracy of design and diversity and comprehensibility of meaningful potential, which brings the manifestations of the poetics of syncretism of arts to the organisational components of the poetics of novels in general.

Brief tests of methods of reliability assessment and designing of tests of mechanical structures, applying static, impact, heat, and vibration loads, including those based on a small volume of tests, are given. The methods are provided with PC software.At the Federal Nuclear Center much attention is being focused on reliability of mechanical structures at all stages of the life cycle, especially under vibration, heat, static, impact, blast, and other loads.A very important parameter of reliability of mechanical structures is probability of trouble-free performance over a fixed operation time. In general, mechanical structures can be regarded as a mixed combination of simple components, the probability of whose failure under loads is a typical problem.Several unique procedures for reliability assessment and designing of reliability tests in the process of laboratory design and development of articles and components thereof as well as methods for monitoring of reliability of articles and their parameters in the process of series production have been developed at VNIIÉF. Theoretical foundation has been laid and precision of the methods has been studied.Let us analyze the characteristics of each procedure. Procedure for Determining Reliability of Mechanical Structures Based on SingleTests. The foundation of this procedure is comprised of methods of determination of reliability parameters of single-use structures based on samples of a small number of tests:• by determining ultimate and actual (operating) loads;• at several levels based on Yes-No scheme; • by impact load at one or several levels; and • represented by repeatedly censored sampling. The procedure is based on fiducial distribution method using statistical modeling. Proximate values are obtained by modified linearization method. For determining reliability parameters, test and a priori data are used; the actual load may be both constant and random.Reliability parameters are determined as point values (mean value and standard deviation of probability of troublefree use or operation of the article), integral values of safe life, and so on.Combination of various types of data on operating (actual) F and ultimate Q loads may be presented in the form of a table (Table 1), where m Q , m F , Q, and F are mathematical expectations and values (mean values) of the random quantities
