Coherence and catalysis in the Jaynes–Cummings model
Authors: Messinger Anette , Ritboon Atirach , Crimin Frances , Croke Sarah , Barnett Stephen M 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
There has been substantial interest of late on the issue of coherence as a resource in quantum thermodynamics. To date, however, analyses have focused on somewhat artificial theoretical models. We seek to bring these ideas closer to experimental investigation by examining the ‘catalytic’ nature of quantum optical coherence. Here the interaction of a coherent state cavity field with a sequence of two-level atoms is considered, a state ubiquitous in quantum optics as a model of a stable, classical source of light. The Jaynes–Cummings interaction Hamiltonian is used, so that an exact solution for the dynamics can be formed, and the evolution of the atomic and cavity states with each atom-field interaction analysed. In this way, the degradation of the coherent state is examined as coherence is transferred to the sequence of atoms. The associated degradation of the coherence in the cavity mode is significant in the context of the use of coherence as a thermodynamic resource.
Effects of surface plasmons on spin currents in a thin film system
Authors: Oue Daigo , Matsuo Mamoru 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
We propose and analyze surface-plasmon-driven electron spin currents in a thin metallic film. The electron gas in the metal follows the transversely rotating electric fields of the surface plasmons (SPs), which leads to a static magnetization gradient. We consider herein SPs in a thin-film insulator–metal–insulator structure and solve the spin diffusion equation in the presence of a magnetization gradient. The results reveal that the SPs at the metal interfaces generate spin currents in the metallic film. For thinner film, the SPs become strongly hybridized, which increases the magnetization gradient and enhances the spin current. We also discuss how the spin current depends on SP wavelength and the spin-diffusion length of the metal. The polarization of the spin current can be controlled by tuning the wavelength of the SPs and/or the spin diffusion length.
Problems of periphery agro-industrial regions of the Volga Federal District
Authors: Maslikhina V , Maslikhin A 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The article analyzes the approaches to the assessment of peripherality in the framework of the center-peripheral models of the economic space. Identification of the core, semi-periphery and periphery of the Volga Federal District was made on the basis of clusterization according to two criteria: gross regional product per capita and population density. A process of centro-periphery polarization takes place in the Volga Federal District. Economic activity is concentrated in the largest metropolitan areas, forming the core of the macro-region. Moderately developed regions with gross regional product per capita from 75 to 100 % of the average level of the Volga Federal District form semi-periphery. The periphery covers a continuous belt of seven agro-industrial regions, in which 30% of the macro-region’s population lives. The peculiarities of the Volga Federal District periphery were revealed: depopulation and aging of the population, general unemployment is at the level of 4-6 %, the level of innovation and investment is lower than the average level of the Volga Federal District and strongly differentiated by the regions, the quality of roads and the availability of the Internet are lower than the average level of the Volga Federal District. A process of further peripheralization is observed in all peripheral regions.
The impact of variety on the effectiveness of crop insurance with state support

Abstract
The article discusses the issues of agricultural crops varieties resistance in relation to various natural and climatic factors. The damage from the occurrence of emergencies in agricultural production is 95% of the damage arising in crop production. Therefore, crop insurance with state support has significant development potential, especially in regions with dry, sharply continental climate (for example, in the Samara region). At the same time, the impulse associated with the Federal Law No. 260-FZ adoption was completely exhausted and in recent years there has been a decrease in the crop insurance with state support (including the number of contracts, amount of covered area, insurance coverage, etc.). One of the reasons for this is the high cost of insurance rates. To reduce it, it is proposed to introduce the concept of “crop yields sustainability” and calculate the insurance rate depending on the productivity of a particular variety, shown for a long time in climatic conditions similar to farm conditions. To do this, one can use the array of data on crop yields of various varieties obtained by research institutes in the framework of the project “The World Collection”. Negative deviations from the average yield with the same cultivation technology and soil parameters form losses of agricultural producers due to the biological characteristics of this variety and its response to prevailing weather conditions. Thus, it is possible to adjust the amount of insurance payments, reducing them for those varieties that guarantee stable yield for the farms in a given territory.
Comparative evaluation of the operation of a combine harvester with an additional sieve with adjustable holes for sunflower harvesting

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The cost of production of sunflower is determined by the number of operations for its cultivation as well as the manufacturing charges for them. The extraneous matter content of the hopper sunflower heap is the factor that can increase the cost of sunflower production. In connection with that, it is advisable to reach the minimum values of the extraneous matter content in the hopper heap during sunflower harvesting. The article substantiates the design of the sieve with additional holes which is installed as an additional cleaning stage in the combine harvester. Adjustable sieve holes have a shape similar to the longitudinal shape of oilseeds. The area of the sieve hole can be adjusted depending on the type or variety of sunflower, which will significantly reduce the extraneous matter content in the hopper heap. To analyze the sieve performance, a check sample was made which was installed as an additional cleaning stage on the “Niva” SK-5-M-1 and “Vector 410” grain combine harvesters. The analysis is presented of the extraneous matter content in the hopper heap with the use of an additional sieve with a different area of adjustable holes and without it.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The effect of hypersonic waves excited by a heterostructure based on a silicon wafer with natural oxide on the survival of planaria after their decapitation has been experimentally investigated. The aim of the work was to study the physical and biological factors affecting the regeneration of planarians. The main object of study was a model organism – planaria Dugesia Tigrina. The planaria were decapitated, and then they were monitored by their habitat for a week. Identification and counting of microorganisms, bacterial microflora inoculation, temperature, and pH control were carried out. To explain the mechanisms that occur under the influence of hypersound, a mathematical model of the passage of hypersonic waves through a thin layer of water near the glass-liquid interface was developed. In the process of regeneration after decapitation of the experimental group, it was found that in the experimental group exposed to hypersound, the survival of planaria was 60% higher than in the control. It was shown that in an aqueous medium along the glass-water interface, hypersonic propagation occurs with less attenuation than in the water column. This leads to a waveguide effect and improved transmission of hypersonic effects to the studied organisms.

Abstract
Under the conditions of the pig-breeding complex, the effectiveness of the use of immunotropic drugs PigStim-C and PigStim-M to newborn piglets with the aim of realizing the bioresource productivity potential was evaluated. Against the background of the body’s immunocorrection of piglets, a decrease in the number of diseases was noted by 1.5–2.9 times, a reduction in recovery time by 11.4–23.5%, an increase in livestock safety to 98.0–100.0%. Immunotropic drugs PigStim-C and PigStim-M activate hematopoiesis, causing a positive dynamics of the hematological and biochemical profiles of the body of pigs during ontogenesis. It was found that animals of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups exceeded their peers in the control by live weight by 7.1 kg or 6.9% and by 8.6 kg or 8.2%, the average daily gain by 34 and 41 g. The slaughter mass of pigs on the background of immunocorrection was higher than the control by 6.22 and 7.08 kg. According to the results of chiselling and trimming of half carcasses of pigs in experimental groups, an increase in the number of trimmed pork by 1.88 and 2.16 kg in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups as compared with the control was established.

Abstract
In the conditions of economic sanctions and food embargo in Russia, the issue of import substitution has become acute. Studies are becoming relevant, which improve the production process of hops. Currently, many enterprises use industrial dryers with high performance. The aim of the study is to increase the efficiency of drying hops with the maximum possible reduction of energy costs. The introduction of innovations should be preceded by an analysis of the existing technology of drying hops. Object of research - hop samples taken during and after drying, as well as an industrial dryer. Working measurements were carried out in threefold repetition. These included determining the temperature and humidity of the drying agent as well as the humidity of the hops. The results of studies have shown that it is possible to achieve significant energy savings in the process of drying hops. This is the scientific novelty. Based on the results, several ways to achieve savings are proposed. To do this, it is necessary to accelerate the movement of the mass of hop cones and optimize the ventilation system. On the basis of this, the possibility of modernizing the duct system to increase the productivity of the dryer is proposed.

Abstract
In market conditions of business development a huge role is given to maintaining the competitiveness of the organization, measures that promote in due time to changes in consumer preferences in the framework of improving consumer properties of products. Abroad benchmarking is one of the most common methods of assessing the competitiveness of organization in comparison with competing organizations that produce similar products. Benchmarking shows how other firms achieve the best results in the market being the object attention of marketing research. There are various approaches in studying of business processes and in particular estimations of consumer indicators of goods in benchmarking. One of them is the graphic method which is expressed in creation of an area chart – “rose of technical level” and definition of the complex indicator of product technical level (defining competitive advantages of products in comparison with similar goods).In submitted article we offer improving earlier developed method of calculation of a complex indicator of product technical level “Roses of technical level”. The technique offered in the article is more universal and can be used for assessment of competitiveness of products of various industries. Due to the reduction of unit of measure of all considered products indicators to uniform value, the quantity of these indicators can be significant. Both the priority of consumer properties of products and external factors that affect the preference of buyer upon purchase is also considered in this article.

AbstractCereals form the most important group of plants cultivated by man. The aim of the work is to study the effect of ultraviolet led emitter in the processing of seeds of grain crops to improve sowing performance. The objects of the study were the seeds of winter and spring wheat, winter triticale, naked oats. Seeds were treated with ultraviolet LEDs in the range of radiation in the UV zone for 5, 10 and 15 minutes, with average illumination energy of 3.137 W/m2. Growth strength, laboratory germination, shoot height, primary root length and root rot infestation were evaluated. In the course of studies, a positive effect of ultraviolet treatment of seeds of winter wheat, winter triticale and oats was established. Ultraviolet radiation with a dose of 1882 J/m2(seed treatment for 10 minutes) increased the growth strength and germination of winter wheat. Shoot height and root length were better when irradiated for 5 min with a dose of 941 J/m2. The proposed UV treatment of seeds improves the technology of production of hydroponic feed, taking into account modern requirements for energy conservation and obtaining environmentally friendly products.

Abstract
This article presents the specific experience of farm management by a peasant acting independently. It is common for a peasant managing a farm to exercise both control and execution. Since management of a farm is influenced by external factors – natural, geographical, social ones, a peasant is required to constantly implement adaptive changes in management. These changes are brought about by the level of personal (spiritual) development of a peasant. The changes should be moderate but, at the same time, sufficient for effective management. All this is associated with responsible management as a characteristic of an activity. Such management is described as a science and an art of adapting to the natural and social conditions of economic activity. The specifics of responsible management of a farm is determined through the analysis of a peasant’s abilities to analyze, forecast, plan their activities. The experience of managing a peasant farm indicates that once found was fixed in the human mind, then it was only repeated, there was no increment of information, knowledge (information).

Abstract
Regional severe haze caused by atmospheric particle explosion is one of the biggest environmental problems in China that has yet to be fully understood. This research managed to find the linkage between diversified shapes of heavy industrial stack plume (HISP) and local ground particle concentration. We used two optical methods: LIDAR and auto-shoot camera, to catch the HISP’s vertical shape, and two machine leaning models: binary classification and decision tree, to find the quantitative relationship between the HISP’s shape and PM2.5 concentration. The PM2.5 concentration correlated to the polygon length (PL) of HISP’s shape with a logistic function. With a plume length more than twice the height of stack, the spread of HISP’s shape accompanied with PM2.5 concentration decreasing to <100 μg m−3. The residence time of HISP’s particles was longer (>20 h) under uniform offshore dispersion than that in heterogeneous wind field, when the footprint of HISP was estimated to be > 7 km. We acquired a decision tree model to yield an exact prediction of PM2.5 concentration, in which the HISP’s length played a statistically significant role. Though the plume shape is just one of the easy-to-use indicators of complex meteorological condition, it is still practical for policy makers to identify the particle pollution caused by the elevated sources in the fastest way.
47 Five Things About Me
Authors: Robertson E M 
Published: February 2020

Abstract

Background
It has long been recognised that when care is centred around the person dignity and personhood are preserved and outcomes are improved. However, the dehumanising effect hospital systems and practices can have on older people persists and there are still frequent reports of harm caused by failures to prioritise what matters to the person.

Local problem
The “what matters to you?” campaign (Dewar & Nolan, 2013) has been championed locally to good effect but a key component of the model; “who you are,” is missing, there is limited evidence of the older person’s voice or identity in their hospital notes or care plans and many report not feeling involved in decisions about their care.

Methods
Engagement with older people, their loved ones and ward staff alongside a review of the published literature enabled effective analysis of the problem and the design of a suitable intervention. The COM-B model was used to identify and support the behavioural changes needed to ensure the intervention was implemented effectively and PDSA cycles of Improvement ensured it was rigorously tested. The Person-Centred Practice Inventory (PCPI) was used to structure the measurement of improvements in person centred care on the ward.

Results
Engagement with older people, their loved ones and ward staff alongside a review of the published literature enabled effective analysis of the problem and the design of a suitable intervention. The COM-B model was used to identify and support the behavioural changes needed to ensure the intervention was implemented effectively and PDSA cycles of Improvement ensured it was rigorously tested. The Person-Centred Practice Inventory (PCPI) was used to structure the measurement of improvements in person centred care on the ward.

Conclusions
This was a rewarding project which achieved its aim of improving person-centred care and the experiences of older people, staff got to know the people they were caring for better which was an enriching experience. The key factor which contributed to its success was the enthusiasm and hard work of the ward staff who participated and their passion to ensure the care they give is person-centred.
