ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ТЕМПЕРАТУРНОГО РЕЖИМА ХРАНЕНИЯ ЗЕРНА ГРЕЧИХИ В РУКАВАХ
Authors: Марьин Василий Александрович , Верещагин Александр Леонидович
Published: January 2025

Рассмотрены возможности хранения зерна гречихи с разной влажностью, разным содержанием сорной примеси в полимерных рукавах. Технология хранения зерна в рукавах основывается на хранении без доступа кислорода воздуха. Эта цель достигается процессами дыхания самого зерна и микроорганизмов, вследствие чего происходит превращение кислорода в углекислый газ. Так как воздухообмен с внешней средой закрыт, происходит консервация зерна в среде углекислого газа, который является идеальным натуральным консервантом. В углекислой среде погибает аэробная микрофлора, замедляются реакции окисления, что обеспечивает высококачественное хранение. Показаны факторы, которые накладывают ограничения на использование полимерных рукавов для хранения. К таким ограничениям отнесли использование зерна с влажностью, превышающей требования НД, а также ограничение по времени, связанное с низкой температурой окружающей среды, при которой зерно приобретает минусовые температуры. Анализ образцов зерна, хранившегося в рукавах, позволяет утверждать, что с увеличением влажности при охлаждении зерна менее нуля градусов количество испорченных зерен увеличивается. К испорченным зернам относили те, которые при ГТО темнеют, это зерна с рыхлым (белые) легко разрушающимся ядром при надавливании и зерна со стекловидным эндоспермом. Загнивших, заплесневелых, с ядром коричневого цвета зерен обнаружено не было ни в одном из хранившихся рукавов.

Повышение прочностных свойств поверхностных слоев легких металлов и сплавов, таких как алюминиевые сплавы системы Al-Zn-Mg, является достаточно актуальным в настоящее время, это связано с широким применением данных сплавов в автомобилестроении и авиакосмической промышленности. С постоянным ростом требований к изготавливаемым деталям может стать решение освоения новых технологий производства изделий, таких как аддитивное производство. Как известно, чем выше прочностные и трибологические свойства поверхности детали или изделия, тем более эффективно оно сопротивляется внешним нагрузкам в процессе эксплуатации. Технология проволочно-дугового аддитивного производства является высокоэффективным и недорогим методом получения крупногабаритных и сложных структур, и данный метод можно использовать для упрочнения поверхности изготавливаемых деталей. Дальнейшее исследование осуществлялось по режиму наплавки № 2, усталостная долговечность которого на 7,3 % выше, чем у образцов, полученных по режиму наплавки № 1. Проведение испытаний на растяжение, нанотвердости и исследования структуры осуществлялось в различных слоях полученной заготовки. Предел прочности образцов в средней области составил 126 МПа, что на 35 % больше по сравнению с образцами с нижней области. В областях с более высокой скоростью охлаждения за счет межслоевого охлаждения значение нанотвердости повышалось до 2,3±0,3 ГПа. Также стоит отметить, что в средней области исследуемой заготовки присутствует больше зон твердости, чем в верхних и нижних областях, что указывает на образование твердых фаз.

В статье показано, что очистка от металлов с использованием природных цеолитов активно применяется для достижения требуемого качества вод. В качестве природного цеолита при очистке воды от катионов металлов была выбрана цеолитсодержащая порода Татарско-Шатрашанского месторождения. Анализ состава цеолитсодержащей породы Татарско-Шатрашанского месторождения выявил значительное содержание примесей, в основном соединений кальция и продуктов органического происхождения. Кислотная обработка позволяет модифицировать химический состав и структуру цеолита. Использование комплексной физико-химической активации породы, включающей механическую, термическую и кислотную обработку, позволяет повысить адсорбционные характеристики природного материала. Проведена серия экспериментов по активации и оценке сорбционной ёмкости цеолита Татарско-Шатрашанского месторождения. Кислотная активация цеолита осуществлялась после удаления примесей органического вещества и поровых вод. В работе представлены результаты взвешивания опытных образцов на различных этапах исследования. Оценена эффективность сорбции отдельных образцов цеолитсодержащей породы, активированных растворами кислоты различной концентрации, по отношению к комбинированным растворам. Полученные результаты позволили учесть особенности цеолитсодержащей породы и адаптировать методы очистки и активации применительно к конкретному типу цеолита, а также рассчитать относительную адсорбционную емкость по отношению к водным растворам кадмия, свинца, цинка, меди, никеля и марганца. Результаты проведенных экспериментов позволяют обосновать применение цеолита Татарско-Шатрашанского месторождения в качестве материала при решении задач очистки сточных вод промышленных предприятиях от катионов металлов.

Ненасыщенные полиэфирные смолы являются одним из необходимых связующих материалов в производстве композитов. Хотя в последнее время наблюдается небольшое снижение объемов их применения, полиэфирные смолы сохраняют свое лидерство как основной связующий компонент и в мировом производстве композитов, и на рынке Российской Федерации. В данном обзоре проведен анализ научно-технической литературы по наномодификации и получения гибридных смол на основе смешение термореактивных смол. Установлено, модификация винилэфирной смолы нанонаполнителями разной природы происхождения зависит от способов введения и их совмещения, также от химических свойств поверхности наночастицы. Оптимальные показатели прочности на разрыв, модуля упругости, твердости, термостабильности и устойчивости к УФ-старению нанокомпозитов в смоле достигаются при добавлении в интервале 0,08-0,50 мас. % нанонаполнителей. Благоприятное межфазное взаимодействие между нанонаполнителем и матрицей посредством ковалентной сшивки уменьшило межфазные дефекты поверхности композитного материала. Таким образом, синергетический усиливающий эффект даёт основание ожидать многообещающее будущее в получении высокоэффективных материалов на основе модифицированной винилэфирной смолы. Исследованы особенности получения смешанных смол, структуры и физико-механические свойства композитов на их основе. Выявлено, что развитая взаимопроникающая полимерная сеть, образованная в результате смешивания олигомеров, привела к улучшению свойств гибридного композита при растяжении, изгибе и межламинарном сдвиге по сравнению исходными композитами. Также приведены результаты исследований последних перспективных реакционноспособных антипиренов для термореактивных олигомеров на основе фосфорорганических соединений, которые способствуют снижению горючести композитов конструкционного назначения, но не понижают значительно их теплостойкость и эксплуатационные свойства

On the performance evaluation of synchronous and asynchronous parallel particle swarm optimisation
Authors: Tholen Christoph , Nolle Lars
Published: January 2025

In this work, the efficiency (time) and effectivity (fitness) of two parallel variants of Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) have been evaluated, the synchronous PSPSO and the asynchronous PAPSO. In this study, an implementation of PAPSO is utilised, which deviates from the master-slave principle. Instead, all particles function as independent workers, competing for the available computing resources. If a particle discovers a new best position, it shares this information with the other particles. Two well-known test functions, the Rosenbrock function and the Rastigin function, were applied for evaluating the efficiency and effectivity of PSPSO and PAPSO. Firstly, versions of the test functions with 10, 30, and 60 dimensions were used. The population size was increased for each dimensionality from 50 to 100 and finally 200 particles. The results of this set of experiments showed that both variants of PSO performed similar regarding to their effectiveness of finding the optimum solutions. The computing time used by PAPSO, on the other hand, is significantly smaller than the computing time needed by PSPSO. On average the PAPSO was 69.1 % faster than the PSPSO on the Rosenbrock function and 90.3 % faster on the Rastigin function. In a second set of simulations, the maximum waiting time was varied from 5 ms to 1,000 ms. It is shown for both algorithms, that the average computing time rises linearly with the maximum waiting time.

Improving pKa prediction accuracy with reparametrized force fields and free energy calculations
Authors: Wilson Carter J. , Gapsys Vytautas , de Groot Bert L.
Published: January 2025

Given the growing interest in designing targeted covalent inhibitors, methods for rapidly and accurately probing pKas—and, by extension, the reactivities—of target cysteines is highly desirable. Complementary to cysteine, histidine is similarly relevant due to its frequent presence in protein active sites and its unique ability to exist in two tautomeric states. Here we demonstrate that non-equilibrium free energy calculations can accurately determine the pKa values of both residues, often outperforming conventional predictors. Importantly, we find that: 1) increasing the van der Waals radii of cysteine's sulfur atom; 2) altering the backbone charges of histidine; and 3) downscaling the side chain partial charges of both residues, can all significantly improve pKa prediction accuracy. Using the modified CHARMM36m force field, we achieve an average unsigned error of 1.61±0.21 pK for cysteine and 0.71±0.16 pK for histidine, while using the modified Amber14SB force field yields errors of 2.37±0.29 pK for cysteine and 0.50±0.10 pK for histidine.
Investigating substrate binding mechanism in prolyl oligopeptidase through molecular dynamics
Authors: Czach Sylwia , Walczewska-Szewc Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

Prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) has gained attention for its role in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly through protein-protein interactions with amyloid proteins such as alpha-synuclein and Tau. Although significant research has focused on PPIs, the substrate-binding dynamics within the catalytic pocket of PREP is less understood. This study combines molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the behavior of known PREP substrates, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone. Our simulations reveal that TRH transitions between three preferred regions within the binding pocket, one of which is favorable for catalytic activity. The absence of a single fixed binding site near the catalytic triad region may suggest a dynamic substrate-processing mechanism. Additionally, the potential of the TRH precursor as a substrate is evaluated. Our findings highlight the utility of computational methods in the analysis of protein dynamics and enzymatic mechanisms, offering insights into the functional versatility of PREP.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSNATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHINESE SCIENCE FICTION
Authors: Kumar Nishant
Published: January 2025

Chinese science fiction, a subset of the fastest-growing global science fiction, has been largely overlooked by mainstream literature in China. Despite facing socio-political and economic turmoil, it has slowly made a mark in contemporary literature. As society changes, science and technology advance, and the shadow of history remains, new generations of Chinese science fiction writers have successfully triggered its development. Currently, the number of Chinese sci-fi writings has increased rapidly, and some great paradigms are even included in textbooks. However, the emergence of globalization has played a significant role in popularizing Chinese science fiction overseas. Science fiction films and television works that focus on Chinese themes and show Chinese imagination and culture are increasingly recognized, injecting new ideas into China's science fiction industry. Chinese science fiction has always had a transnational nature due to the global presence of overseas Chinese literati and the growing country's stature. A lot has been talked and researched on the development of Chinese science fiction within China, however little has been talked regarding the genre’s potential to become a global phenomenon. Through this paper the researcher has tried to examine the inherent potential of Chinese science fiction as transnational cultural tool for becoming a key contributor to global science fiction.

Interpolation formulas for operators defined on functional Banach algebras
Authors: Ignatenk M. V.
Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the problem of interpolation of operators defined on Banach algebras of functions. Interpolation operator polynomials in the Lagrange and Newton forms of arbitrary fixed degree, containing the operation of multiplying elements of functional algebra, are obtained as solutions of the corresponding problems of single operator interpolation. The construction of interpolation formulas of the Newton’s structure is based on apparatus of operator separated differences. Classes of operator polynomials are indicated that are typical for functional Banach algebras under consideration, with respect to which the presented interpolation formulas are invariant. Explicit representations of the operator interpolation error are obtained. Special cases of linear interpolation formulas are considered, when the multiplication operation is given by various rules for convolution of elements of functional algebra. Corresponding first-order interpolation formulas are constructed, which contain the Fourier or Laplace transforms and are exact for linear operator polynomials of a special form.
Bessel beam parameter optimization with adjustable aberrator

Published: January 2025

Transformation of ordinary laser beams of Gaussian type into the ones of Bessel type gives a number of advantages. In particular, it may improve a multi-mode beam energy distribution in the far zone and keep it stable over a long range of propagation distances. A usual method of the Bessel beam formation is based on the use of one or a pair of axicons, at that the latter is used for creating annular beams with small conic angles optimized for long range propagation. The disadvantage of axicons is their fixed geometry not allowing the beam parameter adjustment. An additional Bessel beam improvement allowing to reach a finer energy distribution comes from injection into it a controllable amount of spherical aberration. This requires development of a specialized optical system, which adds adjustable spherical aberration to the laser beam. Efficient design of such an optical system has been created and experimentally tested on the transformation of a multi-mode laser beam into Bessel beam.

An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of insecticide, lufenuron 5.4% EC on arthropod diversity in cabbage ecosystem. The two seasons diversity indices revealed 2866 arthropods from 26 families under eight orders in sprayed and unsprayed condition. Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus), two species of aphids viz., Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus), cabbage whitefly Aleyrodes proletella (Linnaeus) were found to be a major pests of cabbage plants in this region. Minor pests are recorded as follows Cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner), Leaf roller, Sylepta lunalis (Guenee), Marmalade hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus (de Geer), Painted bug, Bagrada picta (Fabricius) and Mealybug, Coccidohystrix insolita (Green). Natural enemies, predators of aphid viz., syrphids flies, coccinellid beetles, and spiders were recorded in this cabbage ecosystem. Larval parasitoids Cotesia plutellae of cabbage diamondback moth was recorded. Presence of mantids and hymenopterans (braconids) indicated the relative safety of the insecticides in these ecosystems. The biodiversity indices in the sprayed (997) and unsprayed (1869) fields showed higher diversity in unsprayed fields revealing the influence of insecticidal spraying.
A expressão do self através da moda
Authors:   , Malveira Naiana
Published: January 2025

O indivíduo e a moda são conceitos que se atravessam e que se constroem ao mesmo passo. A indumentária é produto do homem, sendo assim ela se movimenta junto com ele, acompanhando suas transformações, evoluções e história. Há registros de que as vestimentas fazem parte da cultura da humanidade desde o princípio das civilizações, quando o homem se cobria com restos de pele de animais para garantir a sua sobrevivência. Atualmente, o cenário é completamente diferente, dessa vez as roupas possuem um mecanismo de funcionamento mais sofisticado, atribuindo múltiplos valores, significados e singularidade aos sujeitos. Por conta dessa nova função, a moda tem o poder de alterar e impactar a percepção sobre si, sobre os outros e sobre o mundo, afetando esferas psicológicas conscientes ou inconscientes. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo ampliar essa discussão e discorrer acerca de como os indivíduos são capazes de expressar seu self, composto pela sua identidade, subjetividade e personalidade, através da forma em que eles apresentam sua autoimagem para o mundo por meio do vestuário. Além disso, a monografia também visa explorar os meios de como a moda impacta o psicológico dos elementos do corpo social e de como a saúde mental se envolve e se desdobra nesse meio.

ABSTRACT

The individual and the fashion are concepts that intersect and are constructed simultaneously. Clothing is a product of man, and as such, it moves with him, accompanying his transformations, evolutions, and history. There are records that garments have been part of human culture since the beginning of civilizations when man used to cover himself with animal skins to ensure his survival. Currently, the scenario is completely different; this time, clothes have a more sophisticated functioning mechanism, attributing multiple values, meanings, and uniqueness to individuals. Because of this new function, fashion has the power to alter and impact the perception of oneself, others, and the world, affecting conscious or unconscious psychological spheres. This work aims to expand this discussion and elaborate on how individuals can express their self, composed of their identity, subjectivity, and personality through the way they present their self-image to the world through clothing. Additionally, the study also aims to explore how fashion impacts the psychology of members of the social body and how mental health is involved and unfolds in this context.

Published: January 2025

The article highlighted that renovation buildings are an essential action in the European Green Deal. The objective of this study was to assess the energy performance of renovation concepts selected building components on multi-family house. Typical Polish 1950s building was used as a baseline reference, and it was shown that very similar renovation concepts can be successfully applied in other buildings that provides good bases to develop standardized solutions. Energy performance of common renovation concepts was assessed both by in situ tests (with an unaided eye and including the use of a thermal imaging camera) and with national calculation methodologies. The renovation concepts included selected building components: improved envelope insulation with exterior windows and doors and heating system. The effects of the performed renovation were supplemented by the calculation of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, as a result of reducing the demand for heat supply to rooms.
THE ROLE OF THE TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS AT THE STAGE OF LAND ACQUISITION FOR CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT

Published: January 2025

The process of planning the implementation of a construction investment is usually preceded by a decision on the purchase of land property, which in turn is typically accompanied by a process known as technical due diligence (TDD). During this process, the feasibility of the planned construction project is verified. The preliminary design concept of the building, prepared at the request of the buyer – a potential investor, is analysed in detail. Legal, technical, environmental, social, or economic obstacles that may prevent the planned investment may already be apparent at the stage of issuing the early finding TDD report. In such cases, purchase negotiations are then typically broken off immediately. In the absence of such obstacles, a final TDD report is issued, containing recommendations for the implementation of the project. There is a lack of research in the scientific literature on the preparation of TDD reports for land properties. This article develops a proprietary algorithm for the TDD process based on the authors’ professional experience and interviews with experts. This algorithm is adapted to the TDD process for land property acquisition. The purchase of a plot of land, along with the preparation of a TDD report, marks the initial step in the planning process for construction investment, which can significantly impact its success.
Metaphorical Conceptions of Time: A Corpus-Based Semantic Analysis of ‘TIME IS MONEY’ in English and Chinese
Authors: Cao Jiani , Graham Calbert
Published: January 2025

Time, as an abstract yet fundamental concept, has been extensively studied across disciplines. Within cognitive linguistics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) suggests that people conceptualise time through source domains and mental mappings. However, cross-linguistic variations in these conceptualisations remain underexplored. This study employs a corpus-based semantic analysis to investigate the ‘TIME IS MONEY’ metaphor in British English and Mandarin Chinese, drawing data from the Freiburg-LOB Corpus (FLOB) and the Lancaster Corpus of Mandarin Chinese (LCMC). Through Metaphorical Pattern Analysis (MPA) and semantic tagging with Wmatrix, 219 English metaphors (15.38% of concordances) and 98 Chinese metaphors (19.37% of concordances) were identified. Statistical analyses revealed significant cross-linguistic differences, particularly in the semantic fields of Social Actions and Processes and Psychological Actions and Processes. The findings indicate that while the ‘TIME IS MONEY’ metaphor is more semantically diverse in Chinese, it is more systematically expressed in English. Culturally, English metaphors emphasise individual control over time, whereas Chinese metaphors underscore collective needs and responsibilities. These results highlight the cultural and linguistic nuances shaping metaphorical expressions of time, offering new insights into the interplay between language, cognition, and culture.
