Eating Habits during COVID-19 Quarantine
Authors: Mumtaz Sara , Saeed Rida Fatima , Younis Sidra
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 outbreak has affected billions of people worldwide. We are facing a critical situation with various challenges. Many countries have imposed restrictions in daily life activities to control the spread of virus. This caused change in working patterns and living conditions like staying indoors 1. This forced staying indoors for long time can cause stress conditions that directly affect eating habits. Prolonged stress triggers the release of cortisol that produce hunger sensation 2. In some people it also leads to binge eating disorder (BED). In BED there is regular and frequent intake of large quantities of food and no control over eating. Studies indicate that stress induces changes in our food preferences from low fat diet to high fat diet 3. Thus stress causes unhealthy food addiction that leads to obesity. Obesity boost the production of adipokines and other cytokines that eventually cause low grade inflammation, and affect the development of other metabolic conditions like diabetes and arterial hypertension 4.

Data from different studies have shown high intake of food during quarantine in adults. A study was conducted in Poland to evaluate nutritional habits in adult during quarantine. About 50% people reported more eating and 43% stated weight gain. Weight loss was observed only in 18% of individuals. An increase in body mass index (BMI) was associated with high intake of fast-food, dairy and meat and, relatively less consumption of fruits, vegetables, and legumes during quarantine. This weight gain tendency was observed in older, overweight and obese subjects while underweight subjects showed a tendency towards weight loss 1. So, this study highlights a change in eating habits during quarantine and, obese and overweight people are more vulnerable.

Thus, staying healthy during this period of confinement is challenging. Healthy eating habits during this time is important to enhance our immune system as virus is continuously spreading. It is important to remain physical active to control weight and eat balanced diet containing all essential nutrients. It is recommended to avoid high glycemic index carbohydrates like sweets, sugar or bread. Instead low glycemic index carbohydrates like brown rice, whole grain, legumes, vegetables and fruits should be used. Proteins are an important part of diet, so food rich in protein but with low percentage of fat should be included in diet 5. A balanced diet also helps in normal functioning of immune system.
On Volume Functions of Special Flow Polytopes Associated to the Root System of Type $A$
Authors: Negishi Takayuki , Sugiyama Yuki , Takakura Tatsuru
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we consider the volume of a special kind of flow polytope. We show that its volume satisfies a certain system of differential equations, and conversely, the solution of the system of differential equations is unique up to a constant multiple. In addition, we give an inductive formula for the volume with respect to the rank of the root system of type $A$.
Action and Inaction in The Bhagavad Gita
Authors: DUFFY Leigh
Published: December 2020

In this paper, I address the seeming tension found in The Bhagavad Gita in our duties as described in the practice of Karma yoga. The path of Karma yoga involves renunciation and yet we also have an obligation to act righteously. How are we to simultaneously choose a path of
duty and let go of what our actions along that path produce? I will argue that the seeming tension is a result of a misunderstanding of renunciation or non-attachment as well as an incomplete view of the dualistic philosophy of yoga theory. I describe the two main paths of yoga that are emphasized
in The Bhagavad Gita, Jnana yoga or the path of knowledge and Karma yoga or the path of action, and argue that it is necessary to understand Karma yoga in light of Jnana yoga and to apply Jnana yoga so that it’s not an abstract school of thought, but a philosophy that can be applied
to best live our lives.
Victim Blaming and Victim-Blaming Shaming
Authors: RUETENIK Tadd
Published: December 2020

By considering various case studies drawn from contemporary culture, I propose the idea of victim-blaming shaming, which, like victim blaming, involves replicating injustice by focusing attention on the particular situation rather than the general problem. In cases of victim-blaming
shaming, a person is criticized for in any way addressing a problem by addressing the victim. Victim-blaming not only involves an inconsistent ethic, but because of this inconsistency promotes that which it opposes. It responds to a social problem by directing attention to an individual within
that problematic social situation.
Works of Art as Support for Axiological Memory
Authors: ZAIŢEV Eugenia
Published: December 2020

Among the meritorious attempts to unravel the enigma of artistic creation are the views of Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer. In the following, we want to emphasise an aspect that is less discussed in the specialised literature, namely the relation between memory and creation. We
are talking about the authentic creation that Kant and Schopenhauer consider to be the one that carries in itself the Aesthetic Ideas. With minor differences, the concept, as well as the associated linguistic expression, come together in the work of both German philosophers. An authentic
work of art is the work of genius and it has the role of transmitting Ideas. Thus, we will be able to observe “the secret” of a work of art – the Aesthetic Idea.
Grammatological Deconstruction of Linguistics: From Marx to Derrida
Authors: LI Qingben , GUO Jinghua
Published: December 2020

Derrida considered himself Marx’s successor in Spectres of Marx, as manifested in his grammatological deconstruction of linguistics. Proceeding from linguistics, Derrida questioned the traditional linguistics represented by Saussure, overturned the metaphysics based on linguistic
signs, and thereby deconstructed logocentrism. In Derrida’s view, logocentrism is the belief that there is an ultimate reality such as being, essence, truth and ideas, which actually doesn’t exist and needs to be negated. In linguistics, logocentrism, or rather phonocentrism, maintains
that speech alone conveys ideas smoothly while writing is a simple supplement. Contrary to this idea, Derrida argued that writing could also convey meanings just as speech according to social convention. This deconstruction of traditional linguistics by Derrida shows his adoption of Marxist
theory and methodology as well as the significant linguistic influence of Marxist theory with its contemporary perspective.
Preface: Koselleck’s Theses (These) and Transcultural Conceptual History
Authors: SUN Jiang
Published: December 2020

Ten years ago, conceptual history was still relatively unknown in Chinese academic circles. But within just a single decade, it has already emerged as a very popular field among scholars. When broaching conceptual history, the first thing to make clear is that, whether we’re speaking
of a research field or a methodology, this is a scholarly tradition rooted in Germany. Hence, if we are to apply conceptual historical methods to China and carry out transcultural conceptual historical research here, we must understand the basic connotations of conceptual history. Reinhart
Koselleck’s introduction to 8 volumes of Basic Concepts of History: An Historical Lexicon of Political and Social Terms in Germany (Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe: historisches Lexikon zur politisch-sozialen Sprache in Deutschland) is an essential text in conceptual history (1972,
Bd.1). In this work, Koselleck proposes three These (theses) for conceptual history: concepts are historical, criteria for the “four changes” of basic historical concepts, and the “saddle period.”
The Quest of the Holy Grail: From the Old French Lancelot-Grail Cycle, trans. and ed. by Judith Shoaf. Peterborough, Ont.: Broadview Editions, 2018, 363 pp., 12 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: December 2020

Broadview Editions produces really attractive modern English translations of medieval texts, such as this one, which offers an excellent modern translation of the Quest of the Holy Grail contained in the Lancelot-Grail Cycle. Judith Shoaf is not the first, and will probably
not be the last to try her hand at this complex and intriguing narrative, but she clearly stands above previous efforts by Pauline Matarasso (1969) and E. J. Burns (2010), making here available one of the greatest medieval texts for the modern classroom without some archaisms or stilted expressions
in Matarasso’s version. However, it does not become clear what the real differences might be, and not having the older translation directly available, the argument that this is a better translation remains a bit obscure. On the other hand, Shoaf has taken great care to draw from the
best critical editions (Albert Pauphilet, ed., 1965, H. Oskar Sommer, ed. 1913) and offers a smooth text, maybe so smooth that it removes us already a bit too much from the original. Comparing her rendering with those offered by others, Shoaf reached the conclusion that some of her decisions,
which are based on an examination of some of the original manuscripts and her “personal taste” (69) should be trusted by the reader. This is somewhat speculative and maybe even biased. Here we are given only the English translation and no original text to compare with. In the footnotes,
however, we find much valuable information about how she chose what version for what reason, and additional comments about sources and references.

Wenngleich diese Münsteraner Dissertation von 2008 erst zehn Jahre später im Druck erscheint, wirkt das gewählte Thema weiterhin hoch brisant und relevant. Allerdings macht sich die Distanz zu 2008 trotz der Bemühungen des Autors, der heute als Gymnasiallehrer in
Gifhorn tätig ist, deutlich bemerkbar, fehlen ja viele inzwischen erschienenen Arbeiten zu genau diesem Text und diesem globalen Aspekt der Beziehung zwischen Orient und Okzident im hohen Mittelalter, wie sie von Wolfram geschildert wird. Da der Verlag sich aber entschieden hat, dieses
Buch trotz der großen Zeitverzögerung herauszubringen, konzentrieren wir uns auf die inhaltliche Seite, so als ob wir uns immer noch im Jahre 2008 befinden.

Mittelalterliche Kunstschätze haben niemals bloß eine mimetische Funktion eingenommen oder schlicht ästhetischen Zwecken gedient. Stattdessen erweist sich allenthalben, dass sie wichtige traditionsbildende, kirchenpolitische, religiöse Aufgaben erfüllen, wie
es auch mit den vielen Objekten in dem hoch interessanten Domschatz von Halberstadt der Fall ist, den sich Patricia Strohmaier in ihrer Leipziger Dissertation von 2017 als Thema ausgewählt hat.
Antonie Vos, John Duns Scotus. A Life. Studies in the History of Church and Theology, 2. Kampen: Summum, 2018, 243 pp.
Authors: van Nahl Jan Alexander
Published: December 2020

“There exists little direct documentation regarding Duns’ life. […] The secret is to combine many new aspects with the significant body of biographical literature hidden in many books and contributions published in many countries in quite different languages over
many decades” (p. 53). Few scholars would seem ready to reveal this secret in the sense of a state-of-the-art biography of John Duns Scotus (ca. 1266–1308), one of the foremost thinkers in philosophy and theology during the high or early late Middle Ages. Among those few, Antonie
Vos (*1944) appears particularly well-prepared with his research on Duns spanning several decades, including seminal studies such as his 2006 monograph The Philosophy of John Duns Scotus. In the introduction to the present book, Vos openly reflects upon shortcomings of his own earlier
research, thus justifying yet another attempt at coping with Duns and his work, or “the Scotist riddle” (p. 9), as Vos calls it. Despite his confident claim of being able “to extend, to enrich and to correct my story” (p. 7), the author is humble enough to start his
journey into Duns’s life by stating: “The best professors at the university and the best handbooks do not speak with one voice. In the humanities, there are groups and movements, and even ideologies. There is confusion and there are many mistakes, but we do not give in” (p.
9).

Bei dieser kunsthistorischen Publikation handelt es sich nicht um ein zusammenfassendes Übersichtswerk, sondern um eine Sammlung kleinerer Untersuchungen zu verschiedenen Einzelaspekten, die Malereien berühren, welche für italienische Geißlerbruderschaften geschaffen
wurden. Ein besonders wichtiges Moment ist dabei die religiöse Erfahrung, die mit der Betrachtung dieser Werke verbunden war, wobei es dem Verfasser darum geht zu betonen, dass sie ursprünglich anders rezipiert wurden als von heutigen Menschen, die spontan und ungeleitet betrachten:
Die Mitglieder dieser Gesellschaften waren mit den Miniaturen, Wandmalereien, Tafeln und Fahnen in einer bestimmten rituell strukturierten Situation konfrontiert, es gab genaue Anweisungen, wie die Flagellation und die begleitenden Andachten zu vollziehen waren. Chen zitiert die entsprechenden
Passagen aus verschiedenen volkssprachlichen Anweisungen norditalienischer Gesellschaften der ,battuti‘ oder ,penitenti‘, darunter verdienstvoller Weise auch aus noch unpublizierten Quellen. Warum nicht auch einschlägige Werke der Skulptur einbezogen werden (wie
beispielsweise das Relief der Venezianischen Leonhard-Bruderschaft an Sta. Maria della Carità), bleibt unerklärt.
Hussein Fancy. The Mercenary Mediterranean: Sovereignty, Religion, and Violence in the Medieval Crown of Aragon. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2016, xviii, 310 pp.
Authors: Harris Patrick
Published: December 2020

The Archive of the Crown of Aragon has provided the foundation for some of the most compelling medieval research of the last half century. Classics by Robert I. Burns, John Boswell, David Nirenberg, and Brian Catlos, among others, advanced our understanding of inter-religious interaction
in the medieval Mediterranean. Indeed, Hussein Fancy’s acknowledgements section reads like a “who’s who” of medieval Iberian scholarship, and so it is no wonder given such support that he has presented this master-work. Professor Fancy interweaves disparate individual
historical strands into a cohesive account of the connection between cross-religious military relationships and political ideology in the medieval Crown of Aragon. The individual chapters provide an overlapping aspect of the general narrative. Each one begins with a brief micro-history focusing
on Muslim, Christian, and Jewish actors in the story, which he then uses to introduce broader political, social, and religious developments occurring in the western Mediterranean. This approach, combined with the preference for endnotes, makes this book readable for the non-expert, and his
thorough bibliography and index allows for quick reference for those looking to utilize this intriguing research.
Susanna Fein and David Rabin, ed., Chaucer: Visual Approaches. University Park, Penn.: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 2016, pp. 302.
Authors: Beal Jane
Published: December 2020

When Susanna Fein and David Rabin, the editors of The Chaucer Review, set out to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their journal, they chose an excellent theme for a book: visual approaches to Chaucer. The result of their choice and their collaboration with other Chaucerian
scholars is a valuable book: Chaucer: Visual Approaches. In an age when it is possible to view myriad images of Chauceriana online just through a Google keyword search, it is necessary to articulate logical ways of analyzing the available visual materials and relating them to Chaucer’s
literary works. As Fein and Rabin state in their preface: “In offering to Chaucerians and other medievalists an amply illustrated volume of essays, we hope to display an array of models for how Chaucer may be read alongside visual evidence” (xv). Their book does indeed achieve
this aim, and it does so in part through its organization. The volume is divided into three parts: “Ways of Seeing,” “Chaucerian Imagescapes,” and “Chaucer Illustrated.”
Historia Apollonii regis Tyri: A Fourteenth-Century Version of a Late Antique Romance. Ed. from Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Vaticanus Latinus 1961, by William Robins. Toronto Medieval Latin Texts. Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 2019,

Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: December 2020

One of the great medieval bestsellers, actually since the second or third century C.E., was the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri, extant not only in countless Latin manuscripts and then early modern prints, but also in numerous vernaculars. The present edition of Ms. Vaticanus Latinus
1961 makes available a highly trustworthy version from the middle of the fourteenth century copied in northern or central Italy, which contains part of a world chronicle, the Historie by Riccobaldo of Ferrara, into which the Historia Apollonii is embedded. Marginal notes indicate
that this manuscript was in the possession of Giacomo di Giovanni Orsini in 1397, a good dating instrument, the terminus ad quem for our text. The language is mostly in classical or late antique Latin, but there are inferences from medieval Italian.

Authors: Burke Linda
Published: December 2020

The painter Cimabue (ca. 1240–1302) has long been recognized as “the first light of the Italian Renaissance.” With his reliance on classical paradigms (via the Byzantine) and renewal of the practice of naturalism in art, Cimabue’s revolutionary impact is recognized
to this day. However, as explained by Holly Flora in her compelling new book, the renovatio in art is not the only perspective for understanding a painter who was not just a forerunner, but important in his own right, and a full participant in the cultural ferment of his time and place.
Addressing the visual arts in context, Flora defines her topic as “the intersection of two histories: that of Cimabue, and that of the Franciscans,” in order to provide new insight into “the religious motives and artistic means that fueled the period’s visual and spiritual
transformations” (8).

While lay spirituality and even sanctity in Northern Europe found its common expression in beguines or beguards, in Humilitati or Flagellants during the late Middle Ages, in Italy a different phenomenon emerged since the twelfth century, with lay saints being recognized by the urban
communities and even by the Church. Mary Harvey Doyno here presents a detailed discussion of the large number of those saints, whose vitae and legends she studies in a number of chapters, trying to establish a historical analysis explaining the development of this phenomenon.

Recent scholarship has increasingly paid more attention to the game of chess as a central form of entertainment combined with a strong didactic component. Chess has a very long history, probably dating back to early medieval India, and was passed on to the Arabs and from them to the
Europeans. Both kings such as Alfonso X el Sabio and theologians such as the Dominican Jacopo da Cessole were deeply involved in reflecting on this game and explaining it to their audiences, as is well documented in the volume Chess in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age, ed. Daniel
E. O’Sullivan (2012). Shortly after 1321, the Venetian Paolino da Venezia, papal penitentiary and apostolic nuncio, composed his own treatise on chess, his Tractatus de Ludo Scachorum, which Roberto Pesce here introduces, edits, and translates into modern Italian in an exemplary
fashion.

In dieser mächtigen Arbeit, die sich auf seine in Frankfurt eingereichte Dissertation von 2016, verteidigt im Mai 2017, stützt, geht es Anselm Rau darum nachzuweisen, welche Affektsteuerungen in Abbildungen des Hl. Franziskus von Assisi im Laufe der Zeit zum Ausdruck gekommen
sind. Man muss dies genau im Auge behalten, um nicht durch die letztlich gar nicht so sehr auf den Heiligen bezogene Untersuchung in Verwirrung gebracht zu werden. Rau will also nicht noch eine spezielle Arbeit zu Franziskus vorlegen, was fast schon Eulen nach Athen
zu tragen gleichkäme. Stattdessen möchte er herausfinden, welche modellhaften Strategien und Methoden aus dem Vorbild dieses Heiligen für die monastische Kommentar- und Meditationstradition entstanden (15), die zunehmend emotionsgetragen auftrat.

Bertran Boysset’s fame has been on the rise in recent years, as his multiple works have been brought to the attention of scholars and to the general public. Born between 1345 and 1350, Boysset lived his life in Arles, France, where he worked as a surveyor, invested in the fishing
industry, owned vines, and composed several original works in Occitan, including a saint’s life, a manual for surveyors, and this chronicle. He died in 1415 or 1416. As Patrick Gautier Dalché observes, Boysset’s œuvre demonstrates a literary, scientific, and technical
education that is wide-ranging (17). Responsible for the illustrations in his texts, he was also a talented artist (20).

Die Erfahrung Gottes hat sich schon immer als ein profundes Problem erwiesen, es sei denn, dass die Begegnung zwischen Mensch und Gott in einer Revelation, einer Vision oder in einer Epiphanie stattfindet, wovon Propheten oder Mystiker regelmäßig berichtet haben, auch wenn
der Rezipient dann kaum Möglichkeiten besitzt, rational darauf zu reagieren. Wie aber ist diese Beziehung dann gestaltet gewesen, welche Möglichkeiten bestanden, darüber zu reflektieren. Letztlich erweist sich jedoch Gott als unausdrückbar, als absolut fremd, es sei denn,
der Mensch greift auf ebenso unbegreifliche Medien wie die Musik oder das Gedicht zurück, was schon seit den ältesten Zeiten immer so in allen Religionen der Fall gewesen ist.

Obwohl sich die bisherige Forschung relativ schwer getan hat mit der Frage nach der Rezeption antiker Mythologie in der Kunst des Mittelalters, öffnet sich, wie uns Ulrich Rehm in dieser sehr beeindruckenden, detailreichen und fantastisch illustrierten Monograph vor Augen führt,
ein erstaunliches Spektrum an Einzelfällen, die deutlich belegen, wie präsent doch die klassische Mythologie in vormodernen Kunstgegenständen gewesen ist, obwohl sie zunächst im Widerspruch zur christlichen Lehre zu stehen schien. Die Bedeutung dieser Mythen in der mittelalterlichen
Literatur ist schon länger wahrgenommen worden, dass aber auch in der zeitgenössischen Plastik, Malerei und in anderen Genres mythische Gestalten wie Herkules eine gewichtige Rolle einnehmen konnten, hat man bis heute nur unterschwellig wahrgenommen. Der sehr anerkannte Kunsthistoriker
Rehm strebt hier also an, ein gewichtiges Desiderat umfassend anzugehen und anhand von einer Fülle an Beispielen nicht nur die Präsenz solcher mythischen Figuren nachzuweisen, sondern auch ihre Funktion im jeweiligen Kontext aufzudecken.

Throughout history, migrants have crossed borders and looked for a new home in new countries, which has always constituted problems, challenges, and difficulties. Some migrants come on their own volition, fleeing violence and persecutions in their home countries,
others are invited in for economic, political or religious reasons. This phenomenon is not simply a modern one, but can also be identified in the Middle Ages. William Chester Jordan here offers a fascinating look into Muslim converts who were brought by the French King Louis IX from Acre to
France and were settled in many different towns in northern France, that is, far away from the southern parts where there might have been the danger that the new converts might flee and return home again. After all, as the documentation illustrates impressively, for people of Arabic descent,
who had lived their whole life in the eastern Mediterranean and were not used to the harsh climate, the different kind of food, and the at times probably hostile social environment. Having available this data could ultimately help us today to understand analogies to modern situations, and
build direct bridges between the past events and modern conditions.

Vor vielen Jahren publizierte Olive Sayce ihre grundlegende, für die germanistische Mediävistik so wichtige Monographie The Medieval German Lyric 1150–1300 (1982), die, obwohl auf Englisch verfasst, Generationen von Mediävisten beeinflusst hat. Ebenso bedeutsam
waren die vielen Aufsätze von Günther Schweikle, die gesammelt unter dem Titel Minnesang in neuer Sicht 1994 erschienen. Nun legt die Münchener Germanistin Beate Kellner eine Studie vor, die in der Zukunft einen ähnlichen Stellenwert genießen dürfte, denn
ihre Untersuchungen erweisen sich von vornherein als so gediegen und umfassend, so elegant und verständlich geschrieben, dass man ungerne das Buch wieder hinlegt. Es lädt tatsächlich dazu ein, es immer wieder in die Hand zu nehmen und spezielle thematische Untergruppen zu verfolgen.
Von vornherein möchte ich betonen, dass es der Autorin gelungen ist, ihre Arbeit in einem klaren Deutsch verfasst zu haben, das recht frei ist von dem üblichen hypertrophen Fachjargon, ohne damit zugleich in die Tiefen von Platitüden oder Banalität abzufallen. Kellners
Forschungen zu diesem großen Korpus gehen bis auf das Jahr 2009 zurück, man freut sich aber, dass es ihr endlich gelungen ist, diese breit angelegte Untersuchung so erfolgreich abzuschließen.

Published: December 2020

This article deals with a problem of soil modeling. That is a necessary part of foundation modeling.The soil modeling can directly influent the resulting deformation of the foundations and therefore deformationof the whole building. The accurate procedure that can simulate the foundation-soil interaction is still unknown.A greater understanding of the issue through experiments and numerical modeling is important for a goodapplication and proper use in practice. To improve this understanding an experimental test of a concrete slabwas performed on special testing equipment. The experiment is complemented by numerical modeling.Numerical models are created in the Ansys software. The article features three cube models and a half-spheremodel. Deformations on all featured models are discussed and compared to the experimental values andsimplified hand calculation. The subsoil model is based on the Boussinesq half-space theory. The soil section isassumed homogeneous and layered. The size of models is assumed as a changing parameter from 10 m to 30 m.A recommended model size was evaluated from the parametric study as a match of deformation from modelsand the experiment. This computed model size is compared with an affected depth described by the standardČSN 731001. Computation was performed using supercomputer Anselm in the National SupercomputingCenter IT4Innovations in the VSB-Technical University of Ostrava.

Розглянуто штучні нейроні мережі в системі управління силовою установкою транспортного засобу з метою зменшення витрати енергії та діагностики off-line технічного стану тягової акумуляторної батареї. Отримано метод діагностики технічного стану силової установки, який використовує штучні нейронні мережі та системи нечіткого висновку для визначення технічного стану ДВЗ та тягової акумуляторної батареї.Метою роботи є підвищення ефективності діагностики функціональних систем гібридного та електромобіля шляхом оперативного синтезу управляючих впливів за енергетичними і якісними критеріями з урахуванням зовнішніх умов експлуатації. Обґрунтування методу діагностики технічного стану силової установки гібридного та електромобіля з використанням штучної нейронної мережі та системи нечіткого висновку. Дати наукове обґрунтування діагностичних параметрів силової установки гібридного автомобіля. В роботі використано штучні нейронні мережі в системі управління силовою установкою транспортного засобу з метою зменшення витрати енергії та діагностики off-line технічного стану тягової акумуляторної батареї. За допомогою симулятора навчається нейромережева модель автомобіля, яка використовує off-line навчання нейроконтролера. Якість навчання нейроконтролера визначається симулятором. При подальшому функціонуванні системи управління параметри нейронних мереж не змінюються. Відсутність адаптації вагових коефіцієнтів при функціюванні системи управління обґрунтовано тим, що це веде до втрати довго часовоїпам’яті системи управління при виникненні кратко часової несправності, а також можливості виникнення біфуркації при адаптації в нелінійних системах наведено на рисунку 1.Цільова функція оптимізації управління має на увазі мінімізацію витрати енергії при збереженні ступеню заряду тягової акумуляторної батареї при обмеженому діапазоні руху транспортного засобу в заданих умовах експлуатації.За результатами випробувань метода нейроуправління отримано, що нейроконтролер забезпечує зменшення витрати палива на 17 % і скорочує діапазон зміни ступеня зарядженості тягової акумуляторної батареї на 35 %, а також забезпечує мінімізацію викидів токсичних речовин.

Published: December 2020

Today, it is becoming more and more obvious that those countries that develop electronics, nanotechnology and biotechnology will have an advantage. The studies carried out have shown that the use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in animal husbandry currently allows solving a number of acute problems and provides a significant effect. In animal husbandry, it is advisable to use nanotechnology in technological processes, where they provide additional advantages. When forming the microclimate in the premises for keeping animals and poultry, the use of nanotechnology makes it possible to replace the energy-intensive supply and exhaust ventilation system with an energy-saving airconditioning system while ensuring the regulatory parameters of the microclimate: temperature, humidity, gas composition, microbial content, dustiness, air velocity, eliminating odors while maintaining the heat release of animals. Nanoelectrotechnology in the technological processes of poultry farming using high and medium-high frequency electromagnetic radiation allows for: ultraviolet irradiation of hatching eggs and young poultry in order to decontaminate them from pathogens and stimulate perinatal (during incubation) development of young animals (studies have shown that hatchability of chickens increases to 94, and their preservation is up to 99%); disinfection and pasteurization of eggs; division of young poultry by sex. Taking into account the problems of environmental pollution, emissions with an unpleasant smell and gases affecting global warming, existing in animal husbandry, the most effective at present is the use of film-forming solutions of catalytic action. A promising development is the development of environmentally friendly nanotechnology for electroconservation of silage mass of green fodder with an electroactivated preservative instead of expensive organic acids, which require strict safety measures.

Published: December 2020

Стійка тенденція до розвитку засобів з виробництва енергії та палив, що представляють альтернативу традиційним джерелам енергії, має на увазі і попередню підготовку сировини. Теплотворна здатність палива в одиниці об’єму є основною паливно-технічною характеристикою сировини. Одним із методів підвищення даного параметра є збільшення насипної щільності сировини. З метою збільшення насипної щільності сировини в одиниці об’єму пропонується конструкція експериментальної установки. В якості сировини використано поліфракційну суміш з подрібненої соломи. Дослідження виконано методом проведення багатофакторного експерименту. Змінними факторами були – фракційний склад подрібненої рослинної сировини, вміст вологи в суміші, коефіцієнт ущільнення суміші. Досліджувалась залежність насипної щільності суміші з подрібненої рослинноїсировини від змінних факторів. За результатами експерименту складено рівняння регресії та побудовано відповідні поверхні відгуку. При виробництві енергії, з метою забезпечення нормальних умов протікання тепломасообмінних процесів в шарі сировини, порозність шару повинна бути 0,54–0,61, що досягається при значенні насипної щільності сировини 200…250 кг/м3. Діапазон вказаних значень насипної щільності сировини експериментально отримано при вологості сировини 20 %, вмісті дрібної фракції в суміші з подрібненої рослинної сировини 50 % і коефіцієнті її ущільнення 1,4. Отримані результати дозволяють забезпечити керованість технологічним процесом виробництва палив та енергії. А саме, залежно від складу та вологості вихідної сировини можна підібрати такий коефіцієнт її ущільнення, при якому значення насипної щільності буде забезпечувати задану порозність шару на її основі. Представлені дослідження можуть бути використані при виборі обладнання та методу ущільнення сировини для виробництва палив та енергії на їх основі.
