DAYLIGHT GLARE PROBABILITY PREDICTION FOR AN OFFICE ROOM
Authors: Mentens A. , Martin S. , Descamps F. , Lataire J. , Jacobs V.A.
Published: December 2021

Glare assessments are currently made from High Dynamic Range (HDR) images taken from the Point Of View (POV) and viewing direction of a user. This paper analyses the feasibility to estimate the Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) at the user-level based on machine-learning techniques, sun position and a downward-pointing camera sensor mounted at the ceiling of a simulated office environment. Three different office cases have been considered: an empty room, an empty room with venetian blinds and a furnished room without venetian blinds. The influence of the sun direction has been considered as a parameter to predict the observer DGP. Subsequently, the best parameters have been selected to build a black box model using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Results show that, by using the DGP of the ceiling camera and the sun position, it is possible to accurately predict the DGP for an observer’s POV.
ON SENSITIVITY TO GLARE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH MACULAR PIGMENT
Authors: Jain Sneha , Wienold Jan , Andersen Marilyne
Published: December 2021

Current trends in discomfort glare research have suggested the influence of physiological parameters on individual glare perception. To this end, we hypothesize that a specific ocular physiology characteristic, namely the macular pigment (MP) in the retina, could have an influence on glare sensitivity, encouraged by recent findings from the literature that have shown that high MP levels were indicative of better visual performance. This study investigates whether a person’s sensitivity to glare could be somehow correlated to their macular pigment optical density (MPOD). We measured MPOD in 56 participants and compared it with their discomfort glare thresholds, which were determined psychophysically by exposing the participants to a series of lighting conditions varying in intensity. We found that the influence of MPOD on glare sensitivity is borderline significant with small effect size but does not follow intuition. Additional data will be required to validate and refine these initial findings.
USER EVALUATIONS OF CONTRAST-DOMINANT DISCOMFORT GLARE IN DIM DAYLIT SCENARIOS: PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
Authors: Quek Geraldine , Wienold Jan , Andersen Marilyne
Published: December 2021

Discomfort glare metrics typically consider at least one of the two effects of discomfort glare - saturation and contrast - in their equation. The former occurs when there is an excessively bright glare source in the field of view, while the latter occurs when there is a high luminance ratio between the glare source and the adaptation level of the eye. We hypothesize that the contrast effect may dominate in low-light scenarios such as those commonly found in open-plan offices. Thus, we designed and carried out a user study in controlled laboratory conditions with 63 participants with a total of 252 scenes to investigate discomfort glare evaluations in dim daylight office environments with low adaptation levels. Our preliminary findings support our hypothesis that contrast-driven metrics predict glare responses in a more reliable way than hybrid metrics at low adaptation levels where the contrast effect dominates, which underlines the need for refining glare metrics in low brightness conditions.
ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES
Authors: Yuqin Zong C. , Miller Cameron
Published: December 2021

We have developed a new calibration capability for 200 nm to 400 nm ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) using a Type D gonio-spectroradiometer. The recently-introduced mean differential continuous pulse (M-DCP) method is used to overcome the measurement difficulty associated with the initial forward voltage, VF, anomaly of a UV LED, which makes it impossible to use VF to infer junction temperature, TJ, during pulsed operation. The new measurement facility was validated indirectly by comparing the measured total luminous flux of a white LED with that measured using the NIST’s 2.5 m absolute integrating sphere. The expanded calibration uncertainty for the total radiant flux is approximately 2 % to 3 % (k = 2) depending the wavelength of the UV LED.
THE EFFECT OF LIGHTING ENVIRONMENT ON FACIAL EXPRESSION PERCEPTION IN VIDEO TELECONFERENCING
Authors: Suzuki K. , Takeuchi Y. , Heo J.
Published: December 2021

In this study, we investigated whether manipulating the lighting environment in videoconferencing changes the readability of facial expressions. In the experiment, the participants were asked to evaluate their impressions of a video that simulated the situation in a videoconference. A total of 12 lighting conditions were used, including three colour temperature conditions and four lighting directions conditions. As a result of the factor analysis, four factors were identified: "Clarity," "Dynamism," "Naturalness," and "Healthiness." The results of ANOVA showed that placing the lighting in front was effective for all factors. And in all of the factors, it showed that lighting from the front was effective for the participants. In addition, while lower colour temperature decreased clarity, it improved naturalness and healthiness and was particularly effective when the lighting was placed in front of the subject.
NUMERICAL-ANALYTICAL MODEL OF THE LUMINANCE FACTOR OF AN ARBITRARY SURFACE
Authors: Basov A.Y. , Boos G.V. , Budak V.P. , Grimailo A.V.
Published: December 2021

Road safety is determined by the distribution of luminance created by asphalt concrete surfaces. On the one hand, experimental determination of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function is laborious, on the other hand, for some angles this task is difficult. The authors propose to use both analytical and statistical models of the luminance factor, which allow determining the luminance factors or coefficients for arbitrary angles of incidence and sighting. The models are based on the idea of a plane-parallel layer, in the volume of which radiation scattering occurs. With correctly selected optical properties of the layer (the optical thickness of the medium, the albedo of single scattering, the phase function of the particles included in the composition), the models allow obtaining reliable results, which was confirmed when compared with the measurement results. The models can also be applicable not only for asphalt concrete pavements, but also for any other surfaces.
VIRTUAL REALITY: A PROMISING APPROACH FOR LIGHTING RESEARCH
Authors: Bellia L. , Corbisiero F. , D’Agostino P. , Fragliasso F.
Published: December 2021

Virtual Reality (VR) seems a promising tool in lighting field, both for design and research applications. Despite several studies have been conducted on this topic, the opinions about the actual advantages of VR are conflicting. It is not clear if VR software are able to properly simulate spatial light distribution, and if the luminous sensation reproduced in Virtual Reality is representative of the real one. The paper revises the literature about the topic and then tests the reliability of a VR simulation software, Unreal Engine (UE), in calculating light. To do that, illuminance measurements were performed in a test room and the obtained values were compared with those calculated with both UE and DIVA for Rhinoceros. Results demonstrated that the percentage differences between the UE’s and the real values range from -2% to 5% and those between UE and DIVA from -4% to 0%.
PERCEIVED CHROMA AND HUE CHANGES OF COLOURS AT HIGH ILLUMINANCE LEVELS DUE TO HUNT EFFECT
Authors: Kawashima Y. , Ohno Y.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study is to quantify the Hunt Effect in a range from indoor lighting levels to outdoor daylight levels so that a perception model of Hunt Effect for lighting can be developed with outdoor daylight as the reference. Our previous study experimentally quantified the perceived chroma changes due to the Hunt Effect at 100 lx and 1000 lx. To extend this to light levels closer to outdoor daylight, a vision experiment was conducted at ≈1000 lx and ≈6000 lx for red, green, yellow, and blue patches. A reference patch on one side of a double booth at 1000 lx was compared to a set of 20 test patches on the other side of the booth at ≈6000 lx using haploscopic view condition. Results showed that the perceived chroma changes are much smaller and insignificant compared to the results between 100 lx and 1000 lx found in our previous study.
EVALUATION OF IMPEDANCE OF CABLES IN GONIOPHOTOMETRY
Authors: Jiangen Pan , Qian Li , Xiaoni Li
Published: December 2021

In a goniophotometer system, it is often unavoidable to use long cables to connect power supply, electrical measuring instrument, and the device under test (DUT). The measurement errors caused by cable impedance should not be ignored. An equivalent electrical circuit model considering the cable impedance of a typical goniophotometer is established in this paper. The measurement errors caused by the cable impedance are analysed by simulation. In DC and low frequency circuits, the cable impedance is almost resistive, while the inductive impedance of cables is significant and may lead to considerable errors when frequency is above 1 kHz in the circuits. Cable solutions in goniophotometry are introduced and recommended.

STUDY OF METHODS FOR MEASURING THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LOW-PRESSURE MERCURY LAMPS
Authors: Zheleznov I.I.
Published: December 2021

Obtaining experimental data on the electrical and photometric parameters of low-pressure tubular amalgam lamps with a discharge in a mixture of mercury vapor and inert gases at high current densities of 0.5-1.2 A/cm2 with frequencies of tens of kilohertz is one of the key problems of modern metrology. Since a full-fledged study of the properties of experimental samples of mercury lamps is impossible without a reliable method of photometric measurements, and for ozone lamps such a technique, taking into account the features of the object of study, has not yet been proposed, its development and testing is the main task of this work. Based on the analysis of existing techniques, a technique for measuring the fluxes of the 185 and 254 nm lines of a low-pressure mercury lamp is proposed, taking into account the change in the nature of the spatial distribution of radiation during operation, without directly measuring the RIC. The method proposed by the author for measuring the fluxes of ozonizing and bactericidal radiation can be used as the basis for the development of an automated system for measuring parameters and monitoring the quality of gas-discharge UV radiation sources.
ESTIMATION OF COMPLEX LIGHT DISTRIBUTION CHRACTERISTIC BASED ON LIGHT FIELDS
Authors: Tamura T. , Ohno M. , Nakazato Y. , Hirai K.
Published: December 2021

With the advent of LED lights and the added functionality of the lights themselves, the number of automobile headlights being manufactured is rising. Manufactured headlights need to be measured for light distribution characteristic to assure their quality. However, the conventional method requires a lot of measurement time and a large space. As a result, problems arise where light distribution measurement cannot be completed in time for headlight production. We propose a measurement method for complex light distribution characteristic based on light fields to solve this problem. Our method is to measure the light intensity of planes at a certain range distance from the light source and then estimate the light distribution characteristic of a light source. This method would enable the measurement of the light distribution characteristic in a narrower range and in a shorter time than the conventional method.

Authors: Matusiak B.S. , Sibilio S. , Martyniuk-Peczek J. , Nazari M. , Ciampi G. , Sokol N. , Waczynska M.
Published: December 2021

The paper presents a registration of occupancy and the use of (day)light in four buildings representing respectively offices, primary schools, universities, and industry buildings; it was done across Europe in 2020. A self-registration method was used, assisted with light technical measurements outdoors and indoors. In general, occupants consider the visual environment at the workplace when they are coming in or out of the room. It happens mainly at the beginning (adjustment of blinds and switching light on) and at the end of the working day (switching light off). In the primary school building, where users move in-out many times during the day, the adjustment happens more frequently. Also use of projector generates very low general light level; covering windows and switching off the electric light happens accordingly, but the pattern is not consistent. In general, the changes in the electrical lighting use follow the occupancy pattern, not the light levels.
SOFTNESS OF LIGHT PASSING THROUGH WINDOWS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH LUMINANCE GRADIENT
Authors: Sasajima Y. , Miyake Y. , Ogasawara K. , Oe Y. , Yoshizawa N.
Published: December 2021

Architects and users frequently use window coverings, such as frosted glasses, shoji screens, and lace curtains to create high quality of light. This kind of light is sometimes called “soft light”, and most people feel that it is required in residential spaces. However, the term “soft light” is somewhat vague, and we do not accurately understand what is the “soft light” and how we can create it. The aim of this research is to derive a physical indicator of "ambiguity of brightness-darkness boundary”, which is one of factors for judging the softness of light. We conducted a subjective experiment with 53 evaluation items including the “ambiguity of brightness-darkness boundary” in various actual daylighting spaces. It was found that "ambiguity of brightness-darkness boundary", was not highly evaluated when the average value of the luminance change rate on the wall is high.
COMPARING THE PRIVACY VS DAYLIGHT COMPROMISE FOR DIFFERENT WINDOW COVERINGS
Authors: Husain I. , Fotios S.
Published: December 2021

Cultural factors in Libya (and other Muslim countries) require female privacy to be maintained. Outside the home, females must wear clothing that reveals only the face and hands. When inside the home and located near windows, a similar degree of clothing cover, or, window screening, is required. This reduces exposure to natural daylight, with resultant reduction in health benefits of daylight. We are therefore investigating the degree to which window privacy devices offer sufficient privacy to permit relaxed clothing in the home, and whether this leads to an increased daylight exposure. Two window coverings were tested, horizontal blinds and frosted glass, varying the free area and degree of frosting respectively. The degree of privacy offered was operationalised by identification of the clothing level worn by a target behind the window screen, the aim being to reduce this to a chance level. For horizontal blinds, the free area must be reduced to 3% to maintain sufficient privacy, which is unlikely to permit sufficient daylight to offset the wearing of relaxed clothing. While a high degree of frosting is required for a similar level of privacy, this may permit more daylight.

MODELLING OF VERTICAL SURFACES RADIATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EVALUATION OF THE OBTRUSIVE LIGHT
Authors: Becak P. , Novak T.
Published: December 2021

The issue of the luminous flux radiation to the upper hemisphere is very broad and complex. The paper deals with the modelling of the vertical surface radiators. It presents an approach to unify the behaviour of these types of light sources. These will be understood as cosine radiators. If this cosine distribution curve is taken into account, then only the luminance and the light-active surface can be known to supplement the information about the radiation of such the light source. The luminance and radiated surface can be obtained relatively easily from real field measurements. The article presents the implementation of this data into lighting calculations and the creation of the distribution curves which are necessary for the radiation calculations of these surfaces. It also analyses the influence of the luminance and active areas on the radiated luminous flux and assign these values to the real radiators.
A HOLISTIC METHOD FOR THE COMMISSIONING AND OPTIMISATION OF ADAPTIVE ROAD LIGHTING SYSTEMS USING LABORATORY AND FIELD MEASUREMENTS
Authors: Bouroussis C.A. , Gašparovský D.
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a set of field measurements performed at renovated lighting installations equipped with adaptive road lighting systems. The results revealed issues of over-illumination but also insufficient lighting levels that would not be shown without the field measurements. Since the adaptive road lighting systems can regulate the lighting output and should in parallel ensure adequate lighting and safety levels, the commissioning of such system is challenging. In this scope, we are proposing a holistic scheme for the commissioning and optimization of the operation of Adaptive Road Lighting systems taking into account field measurements, technical parameters of the incorporated equipment, and all aspects that may affect its performance. The proposed scheme can be used as a masterplan from the conception of the road lighting up to the validation field measurements and the long-term optimization and maintenance schedule of the installation.

Published: December 2021

This research studies the nature and the scope of gender discrimination in job advertisements across Iraq’s various business sectors, segments, and hierarchical levels. It also attempts to understand the correlation between the language of the vacancy announcements and the level of the gender discriminatory content in them. This study is conducted with the hope of contributing to gender equality at the workplace in Iraq and the wider region. The current study adopts a content coding and analysis method that depends on the analysis of job advertisements (n=1015) by organizations operating in Iraq published in the leading recruitment websites and social media pages for a period of about four consecutive months from June to October 2017. The analysis is conducted using descriptive statistics and tested using simple cross tabulation method. Although the topic has been studied in various countries and contexts, it lacks academic attention in the Middle East, which can be seen as a unique area for research. Also, this research is the first attempt, as far as we are aware of, to comprehend the correlation between the choice of language (English, Arabic or Kurdish) and gender-biased wording of vacancy announcements. Understanding the relationship between language and gender discrimination in job advertisements might as well unveil a new area of study and aid in the quest for gender equality in the Iraqi workplace. This paper provides scientific evidence that more than 41% of all job advertisements in Iraq commit gender discrimination. The majority of them indirectly favor male candidates. Additionally, the nature of the vacancies for which women are preferred is different from the ones that target men. The adverts generally try to segregate women into non-managerial and administrative jobs. The study also infers a statistically significant correlation between the language of the advertisement and gender discrimination rate.

Published: December 2021

As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) são consideradas como parte da solução para a viabilização das sociedades sustentáveis. Embora muitos esforços estejam sendo feitos para inserir os princípios e as práticas da sustentabilidade em todas as dimensões das IES, pouco se sabe se essas iniciativas estão seguindo uma abordagem holística. Este artigo analisa como as IES têm promovido a sustentabilidade nas dimensões do ensino, da pesquisa, da extensão e da gestão do campus, a partir de dois objetivos: a) identificar as estratégias de sustentabilidade utilizadas pelas IES, no contexto internacional e nacional; b) avaliar os níveis de institucionalização da sustentabilidade nas IES, a partir de estudos que atuaram nas quatro dimensões referidas. Para tanto, foi conduzida uma revisão integrativa de literatura, que analisou as produções científicas indexadas nas bases de dados SCOPUS e SciELO, produzidas entre os anos de 2015 e 2019. Dos 687 artigos pré-selecionados, 82 foram selecionados para a análise. Os resultados revelam que as práticas de sustentabilidade das IES estão mais concentradas nas dimensões da gestão e do ensino. Apesar da variedade de estratégias identificadas, em geral as iniciativas são individuais e compartimentadas.

Published: December 2021

IoT devices are constrained in computation and storage, therefore cannot store all long-term obtained data or perform complex computations. Shifting those jobs to cloud platform are feasible, yet rising heterogeneity and security issues. This study proposes an IoT cloud platform to facilitate communication among heterogeneous devices and the cloud while ensuring devicesâ€™ validity. It uses publish/subscribe paradigm with an end-to-cloud architecture and HTTP-based auth server. The proposed system has successfully addressed heterogeneity and security issues. Performance tests conclude that the fewer publishers publish data simultaneously, the smaller the delay. Moreover, the system performs better at up to 250 publishers as the average delay is under 1000 ms, compared to 500 publishers that has average delay above 1000 ms. On its scalability, in 250-concurrent-publishers experiment, the system affords 191 publishers responded in under one second with 100% success rate. In 500-concurrent-publishers one, 187 responded in under one second with 99% rate.

Pētījumā tika analizēta optimizācija, pielietojot metagenomiku radzenes audu saglabāšanā. Nosaukums: Nākamās paaudzes sekvencēšana mikroorganismu noteikšanai cilvēka donora radzenes audu saglabāšanas vidē. Mērķis: Ar nākamās paaudzes sekvencēšanas metodi noteikt mikroorganismu klātbūtni cilvēka donora radzenes audu uzglabāšanas vidē. Materiāli un metodes: Kopā tika izmantoti septiņi paraugi no orgānu kultūras (no angļu val. – organ culture (OC)) grupas (Cornea Max, Eurobio, Les Ulis, Francija) ar vienu kontroli (sterila barotne bez radzenes audiem) un septiņi paraugi no hipotermiskās uzglabāšanas grupas (Cornea Cold, Eurobio) ar vienu kontroli. Pirms paraugu savākšanas radzenes audus ievietoja attiecīgajās uzglabāšanas vietās uz 14 dienām. Uzglabāšanas vide (2 ml) no katra parauga tika ievietota mēģenēs, kas nesatur RNS-āzi, un tika nosūtīta 16S un 18S ribosomu RNS sekvencēšanai. Vienlaikus 1 ml barotnes parauga tika izmantots konvencionālajai diagnostikas metodei (no angļu val. – conventional diagnostic method (CDM)), izmantojot Bactec instrumentus. Rezultāti: Gan OC, gan hipotermiskās uzglabāšanas un kontroles paraugos visbiežāk novēroja Pseudomonas, Comamonas, Stenotrophomonas, Alcanivorax, Brevundimonas un Nitrobacter ģintis. Acidovorax, Acetobacter un Hydrogenophilus ģintis tika atklātas galvenokārt hipotermiskās uzglabāšanas grupā. Visbiežāk konstatētais sēņu patogēns piederēja Malassezia ģintij, kas tika atrasts abās uzglabāšanas vidēs. Ar CDM visi paraugi bija negatīvi attiecībā uz mikroorganismiem. Secinājumi: Metagenomika nodrošina pilnīgu taksonomisko profilu noteikto organismu genomiskajam materiālam, tādējādi sniedzot daudz plašāku mikrobioloģiskās diagnostikas pieeju nekā CDM. Metodes izmaksu un apgrozījuma laika dzīvotspējīgu organismu noteikšanai samazināšana palīdzētu šo tehnoloģiju ieviest ikdienas klīniskajā praksē.

Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops by the primary economically valuable traits. The research was conducted in the central zone of the Krasnodar region in 2019–2020. The results of the research are presented for the first time. On average for two years, nine of ten the best experimental hybrids increased by seeds yield by 0.32–0.76 t per ha both the standard cultivar Loris and the foreign hybrid Mercure. Middle seed yield of the studied hybrids varied significantly, variance range was from 4.99 t per ha (VN-3 × ОРK-10) to 5.62 t per ha (VN-4 × ОРK-20). Maximal values of seed and oil yields per a unit area were fixed for a hybrid combination VN-4 × ОРK-20. Except that, the hybrid is characterized with high weight of 1000 seeds (4.5 g). A hybrid combination VN-13 × ОРK-10 demonstrated high average by years seeds yield (5.33 t per ha) and oil yield (2.25 t per ha).Oil content in seeds and weight of 1000 seeds of this combination were at the level of the standard cultivar and the foreign hybrid. This hybrid shows the lowest glucosinolate content in seeds – 16.7 µmol/g, that is less that the foreign hybrid Mercure has by 2.3 µmol/g. The preliminary conclusion based on our researches is: the selected hybrids after confirmation of the competitive trial results can be of a great interest for production.

The main receptacle of essential oil in true lavender is the peltate glandular trichomes of the calyxes in the whorls of the inflorescences. Their average size is 175 ± 25 µm, in some cases – up to 250 µm. For the extraction of lavender oil, not only the calyxes are used, but the whole inflorescences including the flowering shoots. The surface of the peduncles of lavender inflorescences is also covered with peltate glandular trichomes. However, their contribution to the total volume of essential oil in the inflorescence has almost never been determined. The aim of this research was to study the distribution density of glandular trichomes within the inflorescence and to determine the proportion of the contribution of flowering trichomes to the formation of essential oil in the inflorescence. The research was carried out in 2021 on the basis of the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops in two ecological and geographical points of the Krasnodar region. The object of the study was the true lavender varieties Voznesenskaya 34, Rannyaya, Yuzhanka and Voznesenskaya Aroma. It was found that the size of glandular trichomes on peduncles of true lavender is 90 ± 15 µm. Their number on peduncles, depending on the variety, varies from 2141 to 3003 pcs. The density of distribution of glandular trichomes on the surface of peduncles is equal to 8.60–14.93 pcs/mm3. The total volume of essential oil in all glandular trichomes of peduncles is 0.41–0.57 mm3. The total volume of essential oil in the inflorescences varied from 2.28 to 5.15 mm3. The share of essential oil in the glandular trichomes of the peduncles in relation to the entire inflorescence ranged from 9.33 to 19.56%. It is concluded that peltate glandular trichomes on flower-bearing axes make a significant contribution to the essential oil content of lavender inflorescences. For the selection of true lavender to increase the essential oil content and the yield of essential oil, an additional selection trait is proposed – the amount of glandular trichomes on the surface of peduncles, which can be regulated by changing their distribution density on the surface of peduncles, or increasing the length of inflorescences.

We studied 18 perspective and already registered spring rapeseed cultivars of VNIIMK breeding. Impact of weather conditions in a period flowering – maturing on economically valuable traits was revealed. The cultivars were compared by calculated statistic parameters of adaptivity, environmental plasticity, stability in the conditions of the central zone of the Krasnodar region. The perspective linear cultivars which demonstrated the most stably yield in the different years were selected. The researches were conducted in the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, Krasnodar, Russia, in 2017– 2020. The most favorable weather conditions for cultivation of spring rapeseed appeared to be in 2017. Index of environmental condition (Ij) was 1.01. On average for rapeseed cultivar, yield varied from maximal in 2017 (2.83 t per ha) to minimal in 2019 (1.31 t per ha). Oil content in the different years varied from 40.9 to 46.34%, weight of 1000 seeds – from 2.22 to 3.85 g. Glucosinolate content was minimal (14.16 µmol/g) in 2017 and reached maximum (21.48 µmol/g) in 2020. The linear cultivars VN-LР13, VN -Dl 2, and VN-Dl 1 are characterized with the highest environmental plasticity, having the indicators bi = 1.30; 1.24, and 1.21, respectively. The cultivars Amulet and Ruyan were the most stable: Si² was equal to 0.65 and 0.69, respectively, as well as the main applicant for being a cultivar: VN-4801, VN-191, and VN-2478 having the indicators 0.40; 0.62, and 0.80. The perspective cultivars VN-4801 and VN-906 (Kenar) are characterized with a valuable combination of increased and stable for years yield. Due to absolute indicator of adaptability, all the studied cultivars are ranking as following: VN-4801 (113.6%), VN-Dl 1 (106.3%), VN-Dl 2 (105.9%), VN-LР 13 (105.0%), VN-XT (103.4%), Руян (102.9%), and VN-906 (101.9%).

Breeding of winter rapeseed in the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops was started at the end of 60th of previous century with a selection of perspective winter forms from hybrids of spring brown mustard and winter rapeseed. Heterosis in intraspecific hybrids was studied. The best intraspecific hybrids exceeded the parental forms by 20–36% by seed yield, by 20–27% by green mass yield. A possibility to create intervarietal hybrids based on heterostyly was studied. Conditions for plants acclimation to increase cold resistance of winter rapeseed were studied; methods of selection for cold resistance were developed. In 1982, the development of rapeseed and turnip rape cultivars of ‘00’ type began. To create diversity of breeding germplasm, a great amount of samples from European counties that actively deals with rapeseed breeding were included into the work. In the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, the methods of estimation of oil and fodder protein quality were perfected, cultivars of rapeseed and turnip rape of ‘00’ type (e.g. erucic acid free and with low glucosinolate content) were developed. As a result of breeding for oil quality, high oleic cultivars were developed, that not only improve upon the oil nutritive efficiency but open new possibilities of its technical uses due to increasing oxi- and thermostability. The first Russian high oleic winter rapeseed cultivar Olivin was developed in the V.S. Pustovoit AllRussian Research Institute of Oil Crops and introduced in the State Variety Commission in 2019. The linear cultivars of winter rapeseed were developed by inbreeding, the first interlinear hybrids – using a CMS Ogura system. One of them named Debyut was introduced in the State variety trials 2020.
