Published: August 2020

Abstract
Location plays a crucial role in retail strategy. In this research, a new optimal location of Uniqlo in Greater Kuala Lumpur will be identified by using Spatial-MCDA. Spatial-MCDA combines spatial analysis and Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) where the spatial analysis will consider various criteria when conducting the analysis. The most important aspect of MCDA is deriving the weightage that will be used by spatial analysis. Various weighing techniques are available including Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) which will be used in this study. This paper will explain the conceptual framework of finding optimal locations of Uniqlo Stores using Spatial-MCDA. The framework started with identifying a set of criteria that influence the optimal location of the Uniqlo stores including Target Market, Facilities, Transportation, Safety and Security, and Competitor. Next, the weightage or priorities for the criteria will be computed using AHP decision rules based on their degree of importance in deciding the location of Uniqlo stores. Then, a spatial analysis will be conducted. A spatial model that will be used in finding the location will be developed by using a model builder. This stage will automate the lengthy procedure of finding the location. In this model, the weighted overlay technique will be used to identify the optimal location based on the weightage of criteria which will be represented as raster datasets. The finding of this framework will be optimal locations of the new Uniqlo stores.

Abstract
This study proposes an approach for the quality improvement of feature extraction in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based images through object-based image analysis (OBIA). A fixed-wing UAV system equipped with an optical (red–green–blue) camera was used to capture very high spatial resolution images over urban and agricultural areas in an arid environment. A self-adaptive image segmentation optimization aided by an orthogonal array from the experimental design was used to optimize and systematically evaluate how OBIA classification results are affected by different settings of image segmentation parameters, feature selection, and single and multiscale feature extraction approaches. The first phase encompassed data acquisition and preparation, which included the planning of the flight mission, data capturing, orthorectification, mosaicking, and derivation of a digital surface model. In the second phase, 25 settings of multiresolution image segmentation (MRS) parameters, namely, scale, shape, and compactness, were suggested through the adoption of an L25 orthogonal array. In the third phase, the correlation-based feature selection technique was used in each experiment to select the most significant features from a set of computed spectral, geometrical, and textural features. In the fourth phase, the ensemble adaptive boosting algorithm (AdaBoost) was used to classify the image objects of segmentation levels in the orthogonal array. The overall accuracy measure (OA) and kappa coefficient (K) were computed to represent a quality indicator of each experiment. The OA and K values ranged from 89% to 95%, whereas the K values ranged from 0.75 to 0.95. The MRS parameter settings that provided the highest classification results (>94%) were analyzed, and class-specific accuracy measures and F-measure were computed. Multiscale AdaBoost classification was conducted on the basis of the computed F-measure values. Results of the multiscale AdaBoost classification demonstrated an improvement in OA, K, and F-measure.

Abstract
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) works as an instrument to look for buried objects whether it is natural or man-made. GPR transmits electromagnetic (EM) wave to the ground by transmitter and the signal reflects back to the receiver. In this study, the soil characteristics were monitored based on various types of pipe underground in order to determine the reflectivity of the EM wave. Two types of pipes; iron and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe were buried in two different types of soil; clay and sand. These simulations were used to monitor which type of pipe will give the most effective reflection of EM wave on that particular type of soil. The study was performed by using multiband frequency GPR of 250MHz, 400MHz, 700MHz and 900MHz. The use of multiband frequency was to identify the most suitable frequency in order to gain the most effective reflection of EM wave. The data was processed by using Reflex2DQuick software. The higher the frequency, the lower the depth penetration, but the better the resolution. The study findings showed that the power of reflectivity was high at 700MHz frequency for both pipes in both clay and sand soil types. However, the value of power reflectivity for iron pipe was higher than compared to PVC pipe at both soil textures. Meanwhile, the resolution of radargram for both pipes were much better at sand compared to clay. This information would be a helpful to the surveyors and this knowledge will make their consumed work time more efficient as they get to know more specific value of frequency that is the most suitable to gain the most effective reflection of EM wave.

Abstract
The sustainable development of the crop industry critically depends on increasing the stability of cultivated species through accelerated selection, selection of crops and varieties that complement each other, their adaptive zoning and increasing the varietal diversity of agroecosystems. Therefore, the analysis of the genetic structure of the gene pool and the assessment of the degree of genetic kinship using molecular genetic methods is necessary for achieving the most effective use of genetic resources. This study identified 28 polymorphic RAPD (random amplified polymorphic deoxyribonucleic acid) and ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeats) loci in spring triticale, wheat and oat varieties. The genetic distances of the studied varieties and breeding lines were calculated and found to vary from 0 to 1 for different markers. The data presented in this study should be utilised in future breeding research as it presents important insights into the hybridization and crossing of the source material located at a large genetic distance from each other.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
The purpose of the work is to study the genetic characteristics of reindeer populations in the Chukotka Autonomous Region using DNA microsatellites. Genetic monitoring data for 2013 and 2018 are presented (the interval of one generation). In the genetic parameters of populations statistically significant differences were found. Samples are characterized by a large number of active alleles of breed diversity. The average number of alleles per locus ranged from 7.7 to 9.95. Indices of heterozygosity in the studied groups of deer are from 0.851 to 0.887 - indicate the prosperous condition of the populations of the Chukchi breed by genetic heterogeneity. The differentiation of livestock is influenced by inter-farm and inter-herd exchange of the allele pool. Criteria for the genetic similarity of the selective sample populations of 2013 and 2018 according to the frequencies of the ISSR markers were in the range from 0.852 to 0.993, which indicates the stability of the gene pools of the studied deer groups. Eco-geographical and economic conditions affect the frequency of ISSR markers with a force of ηx2 = 67-70.4%, being the main factor of intraspecific differentiation. According to the identified microsatellite loci, the populations of the Chukchi breed are in a state of genetic equilibrium. Factors which stabilize the genetic structure of the populations of the Chukchi breed are free crosses typical for reindeer, a large number of males involved in reproduction. Noting that the number of deer of the Chukchi breed is declining, constant monitoring of its gene pool is necessary, which provides the stability of populations.

Abstract
Using the crosses of the DH lines derived from a single cross hybrid Xianyu 335 as source materials for haploid induction in the recurrent selection scheme, we found that the rate of spontaneous chromosome doubling in the tassels of the haploid plants increased significantly in the second cycle and showed a cumulative genetic effect, and through using DH recurrent selection technique, the doubling rate of the haploid tassels can be doubled. Proved performing continuous recurrent selection in a narrow single cross background, the genetic makeup of the haploids had been enriched for spontaneous doubling restoration. Using hybrids between DH lines from two cycles haploid selection as source materials for haploid induction, the haploid tassel doubling rate had reached 85.15% and haploid ears showed seed set had reached 66.18%, representing a rate increase of 6.99 folds and 9.86 folds of its original source population Xianyu335.The genetic gain of set seeds plant frequency is 29.74% per cycle. Also, because the DH lines had been selected from two cycles of haploids or whole genome gamete selection based on the haploid phenotypes, it was effectively eliminated many deleterious and bad genes, and also cumulatively combined many superior genes for agronomy and plant growth vigor. These new DHs can be directly used as parents for germplasm enhancement and new hybrid selection and breeding. The discovery of the enrichment for spontaneous chromosome doubling and fertility restoration in of the tassels of the haploid plants tassels that were derived from DH recurrent selection technique and create high spontaneous doubling rate source materials may have showed a significant application value in maize breeding. It shows significant advantages for construct maize two cycle. Recurrent selection with high haploid spontaneous doubling rate can to speed up breeding output and cumulative genetic improvements.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
The article presents the analysis results of the breeding suitability of two Far Eastern pumpkin varieties, Nadezhda and Vnuchka, according to key biochemical, consumer and technological indicators, with a view to their possible use as functional food products. The results show that the biochemical parameters of these varieties’ fruits are unstable and varied depending on the hydrothermal conditions of the year. Both varieties are high in vitamins with an average ascorbic acid content of 10.12 mg% (Nadezhda) and 11.71 (Vnuchka) mg%. The total sugar content in both varieties is almost equivalent, with an insignificant difference of less than 1%. However, the Nadezhda variety has a higher yield. It was found that both studied varieties are suitable for the production of functional products according to the main test indicators in the conditions of the Middle Amur region. Nevertheless, the Nadezhda variety is characterised by shorter periods favourable for processing raw pumpkin materials of 1–2 months after harvesting, while the Vnuchka variety can be processed 1–4 months after.

Abstract
For the first time, in the conditions of the Magadan region, have been carried out studies on the use of a feed additive (FA) based on mountain pine in combination with lichens in the rations of young cattle (C) of Holstein breed and cross-bred young of Holstein and Aberdeen Angus breeds of the dairy and growing period. The use of FA positively affects the growth rate, daily average growth, blood counts, young growth resistance and digestibility of feed. The live-weight of the experimental gobies of Holstein breed at the age of 16 months, which additionally received the FA ration, exceeded the rate of the control group up to 2.15 kg (0.58%), the crossbreeds of the Aberdeen-Angus breed exceeded the rate of a control group up to 9.55 kg (2.3%) (P≤0.05). The relative growth rate (according to S. Brody) of gobies at the age of 16 months, which got FA was higher than of gobies of the control groups. The growth rate of experimental gobies of Holstein breed is 0.12% higher, and of crossbred gobies is 2.57% higher respectively. A study of the hematological composition of the blood of experimental half-blood gobies of the Aberdeen-Angus breed showed that relative to the control group, the concentration of eosinophils increases by 0.4%, monocytes 0.8%, lymphocytes by 7.2%, the concentration of band neutrophil decreases by 1%, segmented neutrophils by 7.4%. The young of the experimental groups had better digestibility of dietary nutrients and feed costs per 1 kg of growth in comparison with the control groups.

Abstract
The combined application of natural enemies and entomopathogens as an alternative pest-control may act synergistically, additively or antagonistically. The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combined application by parasitic Trichogramma dendrolimi (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) carrying insect-pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (TCB) against Asian corn borer (ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). 0.1% (w/v) starch solution was selected from several adjuvants due to its highest ability to carry fungal conidia, over 3.60 × 104 conidia per wasp. The fungal conidia adsorbed on the surface of factitious host, Antheraea pernyi eggs, subsequently adhered on new emerged T. dendrolimi as a vector, which carried the conidia onto eggs’ surface of ACB. The B. bassiana had no influence on T. dendrolimi’s parasitic rate, whereas resulting in fungal conidia adhering on over 60.00% of hatched larvae, which consequently caused 27.00 ± 5.70% percent of muscardine cadaver rate of pest’s larvae in a screen house test. In field trial, it showed significantly lower incidence parameters regarded as number of damaged plants, wormholes, and living pests, per 100 plants in TCB treatment compared to that of sole T. dendrolimi release (non-TCB) and non-treatment as control, respectively, especially the number of muscardine cadaver per 100 plants was 6-fold amount higher than that of non-TCB treatment. In this study, the suitable adjuvant of cost-effective and safe to T. dendrolimi emergence was selected for fungal conidia adhering for TCB, and the fungal conidia transmitting process from host eggs to pest infection was visualized by fluorescence observation, on the basis, it was proved in both screen house and field experiments that the TCB was a synergistic ACB control program with labor saving, low cost and high efficient advantage compared to sole biocontrol agent application.
Comprehensive assessment of the breeding material of winter wheat for resistance to moisture deficiency and productivity

Published: August 2020

Abstract
The North Caucasus, occupying 12% of the total agricultural land fund of Russia, produces a fifth of the grain. However, frequent droughts hinder the production of stable high yields of winter wheat in this region. Their probability here is 25-50%. In addition, almost every year in the second half of the growing season, winter wheat crops to one degree or another experience a negative effect of moisture deficiency. The article presents the results of laboratory and field studies of the breeding material of winter soft wheat on drought resistance and productivity. Determination of plants resistance to moisture deficiency in the laboratory experiment was carried out based on the seeds ability to sprout in highly osmotic sucrose solutions, which allowed to identify samples with high water absorption capacity. The criterion for drought resistance in field conditions were the varieties productivity, the selection drought susceptibility indices (DSI), plants productivity index (PPI), stress resistance and genetic flexibility. Based on the study results, the main methods for assessing drought resistance are recommended. These include a laboratory method for sprouting seeds in osmotic sucrose solutions and direct method for calculating drought resistance according to the plant productivity index.
The dependence of spring triticale yield and its structure on harvesting time and methods
Authors: Muratov A A , Nizkii S E 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The yield level of the spring triticale and its structure is largely determined by the timing and methods of harvesting, especially in the region where this crop was not cultivated previously. This issue is important for Amur region because it is located in the zone of risky agriculture and harvesting of spring triticale here runs in difficult conditions. The research aims to establish optimal terms and methods of harvesting, which will accelerate the introduction of this new crop in the region. In 2014-2016 field studies were conducted with methods generally accepted for grain crops. It was established that the highest grain yield at optimal terms of sowing, was obtained during harvesting on August 25th (in the phase of grain’s full ripeness). Earlier harvesting resulted in an 11-29% reduction of yield. It was especially noticeable in Carmen variety. During harvesting on August 4th, this variety’s yield decreased by 0.69 tons per hector (metric, t/ha). Similarly, with a later harvest date (September 1st), all varieties showed lower yields. This was especially evident in Ukro variety with a 17% reduction. As for harvesting on August 4th and 11th, while grain moisture exceeded 20%, a separate method of cropping turned out to give the best results. Yields in these experiments amounted to 2.31 - 2.55 t/ha (Dill variety), 2.06 - 2.17 t/ha (Yarilo variety), and 1.81 - 2.26 t/ha (Carmen variety). August 18th is optimal for the two-phase method of harvesting when crops reach the spring triticale phase - the middle of grain wax ripeness. In this case, the yield amounted to 2.33 t/ha.

Authors: Kuzmin A A , Anisimov N S , Malashonok A A 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The research paper presents data on the particularities of the spreading Leguminivora glycinivorella within the field, the degree of damage to various soybean varieties of Russian selection by this pest, as well as calculations of the economic threshold of harmfulness based on current data. Pest infestation of crops occurs from the near edge part; maximum density is achieved in a zone of 10-20 m from the edge of the field. The most susceptible to pest infestation are pods of varieties with a growing season of up to 102 days, and varieties with a growing season of more than 122 days are the least vulnerable. L. glycinivorella reaches the economic threshold of harmfulness at 10.5-13.4% of infected pods, provided that a seed soybean yield is obtained, as well as when obtaining vegetable soybean that is used for food in pods. The use of insecticides in the cultivation of soybean, intended for processing, is inadvisable at any level of reproduction of the pest.
Assessment of agricultural land distribution within the Middle Amur Lowland based on remote sensing data and the DEM
Authors: Ostroukhov A V 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The agricultural development of the Middle Amur lowland was assessed based on the analysis of Earth remote sensing data. On average, the level of modern land use for agriculture is 5.5%, varying from 0-0.5% within peripheral foothills and island ranges to 6.4% on low-lying alluvial plains. The developed map of terrain types of the territory allowed considering the spatial features of the distribution of agricultural land depending on the genetic type of terrain. It is shown that the morphometric characteristics of the earth’s surface (slope, elevation difference within a radius of 500 meters, surface vector curvature) are determined by the different genesis of the terrain area. These values are important in the redistribution and accumulation of moisture, which determines the possibility of agricultural land use. The study results suggest that the possibilities of extensive agricultural production expansion within the Middle Amur lowland are largely exhausted.
