Abstract: Nuclear energy levels in 44Sc isotope, with fp shell model space occupation low levels fp-LS shell within shell model calculations had been investigated. The interactions has been used to calculate the nuclear energy levels which are fpd6, hw, fpy, with fp shell model space, d3f7cospn for 1d3/21f7/2 model space. The results are compared with each other and with available experimental data, its agreement with some results are clear. The used of model space interactions is the best fitted two body matrix elements in fp shell model space beside the good agreements in the reproduced values of energy levels scheme. The general estimation of the reproduced data are good especially below 3MeV. All inscriptions are given in diagrammatic notation, the wave vectors and analysis are modeled in the so called diagrammatic notation. The potential of oscillator is utilized to construct single particle vector, considering (_20^40)〖Ca〗_20 as a core for fp shell model space and (_16^32)S_(16 ) as an inert core for the model space d3f7. The OXFORD BEUNES AIRES SHELL MODEL CODE is utilized to accomplish the results for all tested nuclei.

In this study, we describe the environmentally friendly synthesis of copper oxide (CuO) and its subsequent characterization for use in supercapacitors. Using extracts from dried, finely ground Moringa Oleifera as the reducing/capping agent, we created the CuO NP. The produced NPs were then examined using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical analysis techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) review were utilized to look at the electrochemical behavior of CuO-based electrodes. The analysis that followed determined that the green synthesize CuO NPs displayed supercapacitive behavior. This suggests that the synthesized CuO NPs will naturally encourage application as supercapacitive electrodes because it has been found that NPs absorbance varies linearly with NPs concentration, the 0.6 moles of CuO NPs produced the highest absorbance reading of 0.35 at 398 nm. The reflection spectra demonstrate that the material exhibits low reflectance properties in the medium ultraviolet region. However, as the spectra move toward the visible light region, the reflectance rises to its maximum value of 16 percent in the short ultraviolet region. The calculated crystallite sizes are as follows: 0.2 mols CuO NP, 0.3 mols CuO NP, 0.4 mols CuO NP, 0.5 mols CuO NP, and 0.6 mols CuO NP at 43.14 nm, 43.68 nm, 24.23 nm, 5.70 nm, and 12.87 nm, respectively, where Average D = 25.93 nm is the average crystalline size across all samples. the emergence of cubic grains that resemble nanorods with tube-like holes, SEM images demonstrate that CuO NPs can be distinguished from one another as seen in 0.2 mole CuO NPs.

Authors: Barhoi Amir , Hazarika G.C. , Baruah Hrishikesh , Borah Pranjal
Published: October 2023

In this paper we are considering a fluid flows problem that contains two equation of motions and more than two parameters in the governing equation of motion. Which is namely Radiative Boundary Layer Flow in Porous Medium due to Exponentially Shrinking Permeable Sheet. The parameter are K=ck0/Lθ, Pr=μcp/κ∞, N=4σ1(T∞)3/(3κ1κ∞),  and ε denote the permeability parameter, Prandtl number, and radiation parameter and is the thermal conductivity variation parameter, respectively. The governing differential equation can be obtained by using the similarity variable technique, and then the governing equation of motion can be Fuzzified by the help of Zadeh extension theorem. The technique is used for the validation of the uncertainty of the equation of the motion. The effect of the K, Pr, N,  and ε are discussed with the fuzzified governing equation of motion under fuzzy environment. It is observed none of the parameters are directly involved in the occurrence of the uncertainty of the solutions. The uncertainty occurs in the problem is due to the assumption and the numerical computation. Finally, the solution is being carried out under fuzzy environment. It is found that the increasing values of permeability parameter, the values of both the numbers Skin friction coefficient as well as Nusselt number are increases.
Isoscalar Giant Octupole Resonance ISGOR of 116Cd using Self-Consistent Skyrme QRPA
Authors: Akbar Maryam A. , Taqi Ali H.
Published: October 2023

Collective models based on the random phase approximation (RPA) are widely used to accurately depict collective modes of response. They can quickly calculate the strength function for the entire nuclear mass range. The quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA), which considers the pairing effect, is an enhanced RPA model. It is anticipated that this effect will be significant for open-shell nuclei. In this work, the self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer (HF-BCS) and QRPA models have been used to study the isoscalar giant octupole resonance (ISGOR) in the 116Cd isotope. Ten Skyrme-type parameters are utilized in the computations since they may be identified by different values of the incompressibility modulus KMN in nuclear matter. The calculated strength distributions and centroid energy are compared with available experimental data. We saw that the strength distributions varied depending on the type of Skyrme-interaction, and we also observed a definite impact of the KNM values on the centroid energy.

Authors: Mahanta Chandra Rekha , Deka Shayanika , Pathak Kankana
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we study spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I space-time filled with perfect fluid within the framework of f(R,T)  theory of gravity for the functional form f(R,T)=R+2f(T)  with f(T)=αT+βT2, where α and β are constants. Exact solutions of the gravitational field equations are obtained by assuming the average scale factor to obey a hybrid expansion law and some cosmological parameters of the model are derived. Two special cases, leading to the power-law expansion and the exponential expansion, are also considered. We investigate the physical and geometrical properties of the models by studying the evolution graphs of some relevant cosmological parameters such as the Hubble parameter (H), the deceleration parameter ( q) etc.
Generation of O-Mode in the Presence of Ion-Cyclotron Drift Wave Turbulence in a Nonuniform Plasma
Authors: Saikia Banashree , Deka P.N.
Published: October 2023

This study aims to investigate the effect of ion-cyclotron drift wave turbulence on the generation of ordinary mode (O-mode) in the presence of density and temperature gradients. For this, a Vlasov plasma is considered where a resonant, and non-resonant modes are considered to be present in the system. Here, the non-resonant mode is a perturbation caused by O-mode in a quasi-steady state of plasma, which is characterised by the presence of low frequency ion-cyclotron resonant mode waves. The interaction between these waves is studied by the Vlasov-Maxwell set of equations and a modified Maxwellian-type distribution function for particles that includes the external force field  and associated density and temperature gradient parameters . The study analyses the growth rate of electromagnetic O-mode at the expense of ion-cyclotron drift wave energy and the associated impact of the density and temperature gradient. This model uses the linear response theory on weakly turbulent plasma, evaluates the responses due to turbulent and perturbed fields, and obtains the nonlinear dispersion relation for O-mode.

Authors: Erkaboev Ulugbek I. , Rakhimov Rustamjon G.
Published: October 2023

In this work, the influence of two-dimensional state density on oscillations of transverse electrical conductivity in heterostructures with rectangular quantum wells is investigated. A new analytical expression is derived for calculating the temperature dependence of the transverse electrical conductivity oscillation and the magnetoresistance of a quantum well. For the first time, a mechanism has been developed for oscillating the transverse electrical conductivity and magnetoresistance of a quantum well from the first-order derivative of the magnetic field (differential)  at low temperatures and weak magnetic fields. The oscillations of electrical conductivity and magnetoresistance of a narrow-band quantum well with a non-parabolic dispersion law are investigated. The proposed theory investigated the results of experiments of a narrow-band quantum well (InxGa1-xSb).

Published: October 2023

In this work, we study the properties of slow electromagnetic surface TM-waves propagating along the planar waveguide structure involving the mu-negative metamaterial slab. The planar mu-negative metamaterial layer separates two semi-infinite regions: the plasma and the conventional dielectric. All media are assumed to be linear, homogeneous, and isotropic. The dispersion properties, the phase and group velocities, the spatial distribution of the electromagnetic fields of the TM mode in frequency range where the metamaterial has a negative permeability are under the consideration. The properties of this TM-eigenwave of the structure and two other TE modes are compared. It is studied the TM-eigenwave properties variation with metamaterail and plasma-like media properties changing. It is shown that for the considered structure, the properties of the TM mode depend significantly on the parameters of the plasma-like medium.
Nucleon-Nucleon Elastic Scattering for Motion in The Shifted Deng-Fan Potential
Authors: Khirali Bidhan , Laha S. , Swain Biswanath , Laha Ujjwal
Published: October 2023

The scattering theory's main objective is to comprehend an object by hurling something at it. One can learn details about an object by observing how it bounces off other objects. The potential that exists between the two particles is the thing that one seeks to comprehend. In time-independent approach to scattering, one assumes that the incident beam has been activated for a very long time and that the entire system is in a stationary state. For short-range local potentials, the variable phase methodology is highly useful in solving quantum mechanical scattering problems. Variable phase methodology/phase-function technique has been explicitly utilized for non-relativistic nucleon-nucleon scattering phenomenon with the fundamental central local potential term and without spin-orbit force. Working under this methodology, scattering phase shifts, total scattering cross section and Differential cross section have been investigated for a new nuclear potential model “Shifted Deng-Fan potential”. Real nucleon-nucleon scattering systems (n-p) and (p-p) have been treated for this purpose with partial waves up to l = 2 in the low and moderate energy region. For l > 0 waves, interacting repulsive barrier potential has been incorporated with the existing central part. Our results for the considered potential model show a close contest with that of the experimental data.

The objective of this study is to determine all the constituents, inhibition microorganisms
tested and microorganisms in pork of the essential oil from Eucalyptus citriodora Hook
leaves. The essential oil from Eucalyptus citriodora Hook leaves in Vinh Phuc, was
obtained by steam distillation and dried with Na2SO4. By Gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) method, seventeen components in the essential oil of Eucalyptus
citriodora Hook leaves were predicted by comparing their retention times and molecular
weights with the standards. In particular, among thirteen hydrocarbons, monoterpene
accounts for 1.74%, and sesquiterpene accounts for 22.30%; Among the 14 oxidized
hydrocarbon components: 24.72% alcohols, 5.95% ketones, 29.84% aldehydes, and
14.26% esters. The results showed that the essential oil of Eucalyptus citriodora Hook
leaves possessed antibacterial activity against all of the five microorganisms tested.
Among them, the antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella enterica, and
Lactobacillus fermentum was the highest. Therefore, based on the microbiological criteria
and to reduce the cost during the preservation process, the content of essential oil of
Eucalyptus citriodora Hook leaves of 0.4% per pork weight was selected as the basis for
building a process to preserve pork with essential oil of Eucalyptus citriodora Hook
leaves at 6oC. This is the scientific basis for the application of essential oil Eucalyptus
citriodora Hook leaves in food processing and preservation, which is very necessary with
high scientific and practical significance.
Use of weed plants as green manure in agriculture
Authors: Arsentiev I. A. , Timoshina N. A.
Published: October 2023

The problem of practical application of weeds in agriculture is considered. Weed flora, just like other vegetation, performs a number of ecological functions and, according to the definition of biogeochemical science, is a phytomass carrying large reserves of biophilic (C, O, N, H, Ca, P, S) and a number of other chemical elements. The function of weed vegetation as a component of ecological stability of agrocenoses remains incompletely studied. In this regard, the article presents data on the results of using weed vegetation in adaptive-biological farming as a green manure fertilizer. Examples of positive effects of weeds on soil fertility and yields of cultivated crops are given.

Published: October 2023

Comparative research on studying the influence of phytobioadditives from natural plant raw materials and with synthetic adaptogen Aurol in complex with arabinogalactan on quail productive indices were carried out. Daily inclusion of bio-additives in the diets of quails, from 5 days to 107 days of age, had a different effect on the safety and their productive performance. The control group received the basic diet, the 1st experimental group – the basic diet with drinking aqueous solution of aurol with arabinogalactan; in the 2nd experimental group 0.1% of bio-additive No. 1 consisting of roseroot powder with arabinogalactan was added to 99.9% of the basic diet; in the 3rd experimental group – 98.4% of the basic diet + 1.6% of bio-additive No. 2 consisting of roseroot powder, pine nut shell and pine needles with arabinogalactan in the first period of growing; in the second period – 98.3% of the basic diet + 1.7% of bio-additive No. 2a. Biochemical composition of blood, muscle tissue of quail carcasses, quail eggs was studied. In the period of quails growing, inclusion of complex bio-additives of plant origin with arabinogalactan No. 1 and No. 2 in the main composition of the diet of experimental groups increased their live weight by 7.6 and 11.1%; average daily gain by 8.6 and 12.4%; slaughter yield of gutted carcass by 0.9 and 1.5%; increased safety by 5.7 and 1.4% compared to the control group. At the beginning of egg production, the best results were with natural complex bio-additives. The laying hens of the 2nd and 3rd experimental groups started egg laying 2 days earlier, they had the highest egg laying intensity (66,98 and 61,67%). In comparison with the control group, a higher average weight of one egg was observed in the 2nd experimental group – by 5.7%, the intensity of oviposition was higher – by 15.0%, egg mass – by 38.9.

Расширение круга полиалкилпиразолил-замещенных 2-имидазолиновых нитронилнитроксильных радикалов LR1/R2/R3 (R = Me, Et, Pr, Bu) позволило осуществить синтез серии координационных полимеров на основе бис(гексафторацетилацетоната) меди(II) Cu(hfac)2 с LR1/R2/R3. По сравнению с “дышащими кристаллами” – комплексами Cu(hfac)2 с моноалкил-замещенными нитроксилами LR1 с мостиковой m2-O,N координацией, введение в пиразольный цикл второго заместителя – LR1/R2 – дало возможность реализации тритопной функции парамагнитного лиганда (m3-O,O,N) и образования 1D и 2D полимеров оригинального строения с различными комбинациями координационных узлов [CuO6], [CuO5N], [CuO4N2] и [CuO5]. С единственным три-замещенным нитроксилом LR1/R2/R3 – LMe3 получены только молекулярные комплексы. Рентгеноструктурное исследование строения данных соединений показало, что увеличение размера одного из заместителей в LR1/R2 до Pr или Bu, как и в случае LMe3, приводит к увеличению расстояний между парамагнитными центрами в двух- и трехспиновых обменных кластерах и, соответственно, отсутствию спиновых переходов.

The Third Moscow Gymnasium, Nikolay Ivanovich Kareev and Alexander Vasilievich Zhivago
Authors: Martynova Yu. A. , Martynov D. E.
Published: October 2023

This article deals with the memoirs of A.V. Zhivago (1860–1940), a famous Moscow doctor, about the years he spent at the Third Moscow Men’s Gymnasium. He came from the highly cultured RyazanMoscow merchant family and was related to the Alekseev family (Zhivago was a lifelong friend of K.S. Stanislavsky). Zhivago’s younger sister was married to A.P. Chekhov’s attending physician in Germany. His great uncle was the first Russian business partner of Heinrich Schliemann, the future archaeologist. In 1873–1877 and 1878–1879, N.I. Kareev (1850–1931), a distinguished historian, taught history to Zhivago at the gymnasium. Kareev’s methodical attitude and the charm of his personality instilled in Zhivago a deep respect for the historical past and a desire to understand the material sources: his pedagogical method assumed the involvement of older students in scientific activities, as well as the use of illustrative materials and additional literature; he also argued that political and cultural history is inseparable from the history of art. Zhivago’s solid education in the field of historical and museum disciplines is thus to Kareev’s credit. This background enabled him to work as a lecturer at the Department of Coptology and Ancient Egypt of the Moscow Museum of Fine Arts (now the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts) from 1919 to 1937.
Everyday Life of Students of the Kazan Theological Academy during the First World War
Authors: Ibneyeva G. V. , Mayorov P. A.
Published: October 2023

This article summarizes the results of a study on the daily life of students at the Kazan Imperial Theological Academy in 1914–1917 when the life of civilians was severely affected by the First World War. Through the analysis of archival materials and literary sources, a close look is taken at such major constituents of everyday activities as space and time, material means, as well as clothing and dietary habits. During that period, most students resided in boarding houses, which also determined their living conditions: state-paid students received food, sleeping and working space, clothes, treatment, etc. The life of all students of the Academy revolved around the main building on the Arsk Field of Kazan. They spent most of their time there but were occasionally allowed to make short-term trips into the city. When the First World War broke out, the students started visiting more places. They went to the infirmaries and hospitals to take part in religious sermons and entertainment events. Many of them fell into a poor financial situation because the annual basic scholarship was only enough to pay for staying at the boarding house. The canteen no longer served sufficient meals, especially during the fast, so the students were malnourished and forced to seek out other sources of food. They were offered nutritious food only on holidays. The statutory clothes (raincoats, uniforms, jackets, trousers, and shoes) supplied by the Academy were of little use to keep warm in the cold seasons. In 1917, the biggest changes occurred. The premises of the Academy were gradually militarized. By the end of the year, due to the social upheavals and the economic crisis, only 142 out of 300 students continued their education. They were mainly accommodated in government apartments, and the classes were held either in the assembly hall or in the rector’s apartment.
Development of the Culture of Dissertation Research in Archaeology in the Kazan Governorate and the TASSR during the 1910s–1940s
Authors: Rudenko K. A.
Published: October 2023

This article discusses the development of the culture of dissertation research in archaeology in the Kazan Governorate and the TASSR between the 1910s and 1940s. The central role in this process was played by A.P. Smirnov and N.F. Kalinin, two prominent archaeologists, as well as by V.F. Smolin and M.G. Khudyakov, their predecessors. A.P. Smirnov developed a research passion for studying the archaeology and history of the Volga Bulgaria in the early 1930s, and N.F. Kalinin became interested in exploring the primitive era during the second half of the 1940s. The large-scale excavations of the Suvar and Bolghar (since 1938) settlements offered a solid methodological background for A.P. Smirnov’s doctoral dissertation. In his work, he introduced a new approach to addressing a number of controversial issues, such as the dating of the emergence of the Bolghar settlement, by using archeological data. The outbreak of the war forced A.P. Smirnov to change his plans: he defended his dissertation in Moscow as early as 1944. N.F. Kalinin’s dissertation was based on the archaeological collections of the Neolithic, Bronze, and Early Iron Ages stored at the Kazan Museum; these were the well-known materials with a historiographical tradition. The problems of academic communication during the period before these two dissertations had been defended are addressed. The early stages of institutionalization of this process are analyzed.
On the Reliability of the Data on the Number of Serf Households in the “Registers” of Military Servicemen (Based on the Materials of the “Registers” of Scriveners from June 1653 and the Inventory of Peasant and Cottar Households in the Estates and Votchinas of Scriveners from Mid-July 1653)
Authors: Belousov M. R.
Published: October 2023

This article evaluates the reliability of the data on the number of serf households in the “registers” of scriveners on the occasion of the equestrian review of military servicemen in the Moscow ranks that took place in June 1653. The analysis draws on the following official documents: the inventory of peasant and cottar households in the estates and votchinas of scriveners complied in mid-July 1653 in the Pomestny Prikaz and based on the perepisnye, otkaznye, and otdelnye books; the “registers” of military servicemen. The documents studied were deposited in the collection of the Razryadny Prikaz of the Russian State Archives of Ancient Documents (RSAAD). The results obtained show that the numbers of serf households in the “registers” of scriveners are quite credible. However, there are some discrepancies in the number of serf households between the “registers” and the inventory, which is due to the specific way they were recorded in the documentation of the Pomestny Prikaz. If the data of the Pomestny Prikaz differed from those of the handwritten “register”, the serviceman gave explanations “at the reference” – an oral “register”. Thus, in the considered historical sources, the “registers” refer both to the actual handwritten “registers” and the explanations given by scriveners “at the reference” in the Pomestny Prikaz. The findings may be useful for specialists in the history of the Sovereign’s Court, social history, history of public administration, and source studies of clerical documents.

Groundwater Quality Assessment in Pul-e-Charkhi Region, Kabul, Afghanistan
Authors: Rasouli Hafizullah , Vaseashta Ashok
Published: October 2023

We present the results of studies conducted on the assessment of groundwater quality observed on several water samples taken from water supply sources in the Pul-e-Charkhi region, which is located near the eastern part of Kabul and has seen steady growth in population after the U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021. The water in the basin serves as the main source of water supply and it consists of water discharge from nearby local industries, automobile repair and wash, Osman House, Gradation Place, International Standards Region, and many other regional sources that create a mix of contaminants in discharge to the basin. We collected several samples from each groundwater source for this investigation and transported them carefully to the research laboratory, maintaining the integrity of the samples. The main objective of this study is to assess groundwater quality for the determination of contaminants in groundwater to see what limitations it may pose for recycling and reuse. Such a study is necessary since the region requires persistent sources of water due to a steady increase in population and an associated shortage of water supply due to arid conditions. Furthermore, there is unavailability of similar data since the region served to support military operations since 2001. The samples were analyzed for temperature, electroconductivity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, salinity, pH, color, turbidity, hardness, chemicals, and heavy metals. The results obtained suggest that the parameters can be used efficiently to design filtration strategies based on region-specific contamination for the specific catchments located in and around the Kabul Basin. An effort to add additional characterization techniques is described to detect micro/nano plastics and new and emerging contaminants. The efforts reported here are consistent with the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
Humour and Sadness in Postcolonial Novel: Emotional Ambivalence in Early Anglo-Indian Novels
Authors: ÇELİKEL Mehmet Ali
Published: October 2023

The deployment of humour and sadness together in postcolonial literature invites im- portant discussions on ambivalence. These two juxtaposing themes in postcolonial nov- els reflect not only the cultural clashes effectively, but also the emotional ambivalence of the characters. While the use of humour and sadness turns the anti-colonial novels into sub-historical texts, the tragi-comedy created in this context provides an opportunity to view history from an individual perspective and re-interpret it. This can be observed within the early novels of Salman Rushdie, particularly in Shame, Midnight’s Children, and The Satanic Verses, Hanif Kureishi and Arundhati Roy. The excerpts taken from these novels indicate that the cultural clashes occurred by the confrontation of Eastern and Western cul- tures inevitably bring humour and sadness together. Yet, the occurrence of these juxtaposing uses of humour and sadness reveals an emotional ambivalence as well as cultural ambiva- lence of the main sub-continental characters in these works. This paper, therefore, argues that colonial practices, as represented in Rushdie, Kureishi and Roy’s novels in question, function to create a juxtapositional unity of humour and sadness that create the emotional ambivalence of colonial subjects who are not only hybridized culturally but also trauma- tized individually.

La Educación Física (EF), debido a la motivación intrínseca que genera en el estudiante, puede ser una asignatura idónea para el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la percepción de una docente de EF y de sus estudiantes sobre la adquisición del idioma y de los contenidos de la materia. Participa una docente que imparte EF en inglés y castellano, así como 80 estudiantes de dos cursos de la ESO (38 en grupos bilingües y 42 en no bilingües). Se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo en el que se emplearon tres instrumentos de recogida de datos: entrevistas semiestructuradas, diarios de registro y grupos de discusión. Se establecieron tres categorías de análisis: a) Adquisición del idioma; b) Contenidos curriculares de EF; c) Dificultad de la materia. Los resultados muestran cómo la formación sobre metodología CLIL resulta un aspecto clave en la enseñanza de la EF en inglés, no reduciendo el aprendizaje de los contenidos curriculares. Los grupos bilingües, especialmente los de cursos inferiores, manifiestan una mayor dificultad por ser impartida en inglés.
Deep learning-based models’ application to generating a cryptographic key from a face image
Authors: Kuznetsov A.A. , Zakharov D.O.
Published: October 2023

Generating cryptographic keys, such as passwords or pin codes, involves utilizing specialized algorithms that rely on complex mathematical transformations. These keys necessitate secure storage measures and complex distribution and processing mechanisms, which often incur substantial costs. However, an alternative approach emerges, proposing the generation of cryptographic keys based on the user's biometric data. Since one can generate keys "on the fly," there is no longer a requirement for key storage or distribution. These generated keys, derived from biometric information, can be effectively employed for biometric authentication, offering numerous advantages. Additionally, this alternative approach unlocks new possibilities for constructing information infrastructure. By utilizing biometric keys, the initiation of cryptographic algorithms like encryption and digital signatures becomes more streamlined and less burdensome in storing and processing procedures. This paper explores biometric key generation technologies, focusing on applying deep learning models. In particular, we employ convolutional neural networks to extract significant biometric features from human face images as the foundation for subsequent key generation processes. A comprehensive analysis involves extensive experimentation with various deep-learning models. We achieve remarkable results by optimizing the algorithm's parameters, with the False Reject Rate (FRR) and False Acceptance Rate (FAR) approximately equal and less than 10%. With code-based cryptographic extractors’ post-quantum level of security, we ensure the continued protection and integrity of sensitive information within the cryptographic framework.

Изучены семенные качества и морфофизиологические особенности органов проростков 10 сортов ярового ячменя, проявивших существенные генетические различия по исследуемым признакам. Длина ростков колебалась в пределах 81 – 124 мм, корешков — 105 – 145 мм, колеоптиле — 36 – 55 мм; массы ростков — 6,4 – 14,8 г, корешков — 6,4 – 13,1 г. К числу лучших отнесены сорта Яромир, Московский 86, Эльф, Владимир, Надежный и Раушан. Первые 2 сорта отличались самой большой величиной ростков, Эльф и Владимир — корешков, Надежный и Московский 86 — числа корешков. С максимальной массой ростков выделились сорта Надежный, Раушан и Московский 86, корешков — Надежный, Владимир и Раушан. Более длинный колеоптиле зафиксирован у сорта Владимир — 55 мм. Крупное и выполненное зерно с массой 1000 зерен от 51,8 до 56,0 г характерно для сортов Раушан и Эльф, а максимальная всхожесть (100 %) — для сортов Надежный, Московский 86 и Раушан. По показателю RSR, определяющему соотношение массы корешков к массе ростков, выделились сорта Яромир и Нур — 0,94 – 1,03. Взаимосвязь комплекса изучаемых параметров с урожайностью и показателями адаптивности представлена в виде селекционных индексов, ранжированных по баллам. Статистически значимые парные корреляции (r = 0,624 – 0,806) определили важнейшую роль корневой системы в формировании высокой и стабильной урожайности ячменя в условиях Нечерноземья.

Изучено влияние зерносенажа из злаково-бобовых культур, полученного с помощью предпосевной обработки семян микрочастицами молибдена (MoO2), на трансформацию протеина корма в белок и энергию съедобной части туши бычков казахской белоголовой породы. Исследования проводили 2022 – 2023 гг. в хозяйстве Оренбургской области. Мясные качества бычков при выращивании и откорме на зерносенаже были изучены при их убое в 17-месячном возрасте. У молодняка II опытной группы, получавшей зерносенаж с обработкой, максимальный выход протеина на 1 кг живой массы был выше на 7,3 %; I опытной группы (получавшей зерносенаж без обработки) — на 3,1 %, выход жира — соответственно на 25,3 и 18,9 % по сравнению с контрольной группой (получавшей только рацион хозяйства). С точки зрения азотистого обмена его отложение было больше на 16,9 % по сравнению с контролем. Содержание белка в самом длиннейшем мускуле спины колебалось от 20,54 до 21,44 %, внутримышечного жира — от 0,6 до 1,5 %, содержание триптофана и оксипролина превышало контроль на 15,6 – 2,8 % на фоне стабильного уровня рН от 5,71 до 5,69. Коэффициент биоконверсии у молодняка I и II опытных групп превысил контроль по белку на 1,42 и 2,47 %, по энергии корма — на 0,27, и 0,68 % соответственно.

“God, It’s in Your Hands”: The Spiritual Capital of Black Women Family Childcare Providers
Authors: Turner Crystasany
Published: October 2023

  

This work expands on Yosso's (2005) community cultural wealth model and Pérez Huber's (2009) conceptualization of spiritual capital to frame spiritual capital within the lives of Black women early educators and care providers. Through a narrative case study, the author discusses how Black women family childcare providers understood spirituality as internal guidance through life choices and daily experiences; as divine sustainment for themselves and their businesses; and as pedagogy in their work with children and families. Findings support the need to nurture the spiritual development of Children of Color toward fostering a sense of wholeness and belonging in educational spaces. 
The acquisition of recursively embedded noun modifiers in Romanian by Hungarian-Romanian bilinguals

Published: October 2023

My article is related to the use of Gloria Anzaldua’s concept of mestizaje and Frederick Jackson Turner’s frontier thesis in analyzing the possible hybridity in Joss Whedon’s Firefly, where an intergalactic Sino-American federation called the Alliance recreates the palimpsest of civilization of the kind described by Turner, but also forges a new cultural mix: a Wild West backdrop with Chinese characteristics. I examine the ways in which Whedon’s show differs from other space opera settings like Star Trek or Star Wars, but also how it ends up reproducing certain orientalizing tropes that feature in science fiction. I aim to see how mestizaje is mirrored in linguistic, sexual, and religious ways through the show’s engagement with in-betweenness, especially in the guise of its adoption of Chinese culture, and whether Whedon’s Firefly enables the creation of Anzaldua’s type of hybridity.

Causal Modeling and Thermodynamics: Towards a New Convergence of the Two Fields
Authors: Baciu Dan Costa
Published: October 2023

In 1824, Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot paid for the publication of his first book. Unfortunately it sparked little interest, and the young engineer never published another. In quick succession, Carnot served in the military, suffered from scarlet fever, mania, and cholera, and passed away in obscurity at age 36. Two centuries have elapsed since Carnot published his only book. Recognition came later. In particular, Carnot’s reasoning inspired scientists to formulate the first and second laws of Thermodynamics. The new science that has emerged around these physical laws is nothing short of breathtaking. Yet, with success and growth, critical attention and skepticism have followed. In 1924, Louis de Broglie lauded the first law of Thermodynamics, while remaining more reserved towards the second. The first law builds on a long history rooted in Causal Modeling, while the second does less so. Today, physicists such as Adrian Bejan continue praising Thermodynamics but contend that some formulations of the second law may have attracted broken science. The present article revisits this history in an attempt to cut through some of the fog. As an outcome of this re-evaluation, the article outlines a new convergence of Thermodynamics and Causal Modeling.
