The Mechanism of Public-Private Partnerships as an Important Element of the Development of Irrigated Agriculture
Authors: Nesmyslenov A P , Novikova S M , Serdobintsev D V 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Stable development of agrarian production in arid climate conditions demands a large-scale integrated water management of land, that allows to provide high and stable yields of agricultural crops. Today, such a task is especially relevant in the arid regions of different countries of the world and Russia, where land reclamation is already actively developing in practice. To solve this socially significant task, the accurately organized interaction of the state and the private sector is required. An effective tool for the interaction of the state and private business in the production of agricultural products on irrigated lands is the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) mechanism. PPP has already proved its effectiveness in solving many socio-economic problems in various countries of the world, and is actively developing in Russia. The modern mechanism PPP is able to compensate for the budget deficit and to solve especially important problems of irrigation amelioration development. PPP is an alternative to the privatization of vital, state-owned objects of strategic importance. The most effective form of public-private partnership to improve the efficiency of irrigated farming is determined based on the use of the BOO-Build, Own, Operate-construction-ownership-management model ensuring the private partner’s ownership of the facility during and after the agreement period.

Authors: Golovina E Yu , Dykusova A G 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Over the past two decades, the Russian forest industry has faced many challenges. The combination of growing competition from imports, digitalization of the economy, competition from substitute materials, environmental problems and recent economic sanctions have led to a decrease in investment activity in the innovative development of the forest industry. The growing realization of the ecological properties of wood encourages governments and private enterprises to invest resources in research and development of innovative materials and products derived from this material[12]. Similarly, the desire for energy independence and concerns about climate change are driving the development of renewable energy. Woody biomass is a carbon-neutral energy source that can provide heat for district heating or be converted into biofuels by thermochemical or biochemical processes [20].
This article provides some examples of major innovations in the production and application of wood products. The author’s definition of “innovations in the timber industry” is presented. The most effective measures of state support of the industry are highlighted. The stimulating aspects of innovation development in the forest sector are defined. This study found that the implementation of programs of transformation and innovation stimulation of the Russian timber industry is possible only with the radical tools used by the state.

Authors: Ushakova E O , Dubrovsky A V , Moskvin V N , Vdovin S A 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Under present-day conditions, the programs of regional and local socio-economic development include land use planning strategies for tourism development. Therefore, recreation zones along with land plots for recreational and tourist sites construction should be integrated into the territorial planning schemes. This is what makes the topic of this scientific research currently important and determines its practical relevance. The purpose of the study is to assess the recreational potential of municipal entities of Novosibirsk Oblast and to elaborate recommendations for drawing up the territorial planning schemes that could be used for recreation and tourism development in the region. The article discusses theoretical and practical issues of assessing the recreational potential of the area with a view to draw up territorial planning schemes. The issues of assessing the recreational potential to select certain strategic priorities for the socio-economic development at the regional and local level have not yet been properly investigated. When assessing the resource potential, there is the problem of choosing the estimation methods, criteria and indicators. The authors propose to use a comprehensive strategy to assessing the recreational potential of the area with a component-based and integral estimate of resources. When drawing up the territorial planning schemes, the quoted results of the recreational potential assessment of the municipal entities of Novosibirsk Oblast have made it possible to identify the most well-favored areas and provide recommendations on specific land use and composition of themed tourist maps. The strategy and results of the recreational potential assessment were used in the elaboration and rationalization of the tourism-dedicated section in the text of the Strategy of the Socio-Economic Development of Novosibirsk Oblast for the Period through to 2030. The findings are relevant for various government agencies, as well as for those interested in land use planning for recreation and tourism purposes.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
The article is devoted to the specifics of the territorial technosphere, quantitative estimation of its conditions and the state of its subsystems (biosphere, society, technogenics) based on the parametric aggregate. The study subject is the process of the pollution propagation in the territorial technosphere. The study scope is a hyper-numerical representation of the pollution propagation. The study target is the substantiation of a hyper-numerical representation of the pollution propagation. The study results are the mathematical description and graphic illustration of the pollution propagation hyper-numerical representation. For the efficiency of the territorial technosphere condition estimation, it is proposed to “reduce” the most significant controlled parameters to a single complex indicator (integral indicator) in the form of a hyper-numeric representation on the example of the atmospheric pollution propagation process.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Enameling is a very ancient, well-known method of combining glass and metal, and at the same time it is a very young, rapidly developing and widely demanded type of art. This happened because with the development of science and, as a result, the improvement of enameling technology, the process became quite accessible and universal. The works made in the “durable” technology are becoming more wide-spread in the design of architecture, interior decoration and decorative applied art. The article gives the classification of enamels and the possibility of using various techniques in product design. The authors note role of enamels by Russian manufacturers in obtaining a spectrum of color combinations. The distinctive features of enameling techniques are revealed. Some types of defects while enameling, their causes and main ways of its elimination are discovered in the article.

Decomposition of Supersaturated Solid Solution in Fast-Quenched Al-Co-Zr and Al-Fe-Co-Zr Alloys
Authors: Mishenina I V , Barvinyuk N G 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Aluminum-based alloys are the most popular structural materials. Strength and refractoriness can be improved by doping with transition metals; this effect can be amplified by fast quenching from liquid state, which will expand the solid-solution regions and disperse the intermediate phases in transition metal-aluminum alloys. The decomposition of supersaturated solid solutions (SSS) under special conditions releases the fine-dispersed hardening intermetallic phases, which boosts the strength of the alloy. The way fast-quenched Al-Co-Zr and Al-Fe-Co-Zr alloys change their microhardness after isothermic annealing at 470, 570, or 670 K indicates dispersion hardening. Durometer testing points to a considerable hardening of fast-quenched Al-Co-Zr and Al-Fe-Co-Zr alloys, which is caused by the decomposition of supersaturated solid solutions. Staging the decomposition of Co, Zr, or Fe SSS in aluminum helps predict how the doping additives as well as the temperature and timing of subsequent thermal treatment affect the strength of aluminum alloys.

Authors: Gordeeva I , Neshporenko E , Kartavtsev S 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The article presents the results of an experimental study of the non-stationary process of contact heat transfer between hot coke and siderite ore. To conduct this study, an experimental installation of a cylindrical shape was built. As process of the material used siderite ore (FeMgCO3) sfericheskoi shape with a diameter of 20 mm. Based on the accepted diameters of siderite ore and coking coal was considered a uniform distribution of process material in the layer of coke, based on the determined quantitative ratio of 1:17. Heat exchange is carried out due to the temperature difference only between the hot spherical pieces of coke and cold spherical piece of ore. High-temperature experimental study of the contact heat transfer process allowed to determine such parameters as: the total heat transfer time, the cooling time of coke, the heating time of siderite ore in the coke layer of spherical shapes, the average mass temperature of coke cooling and heating of siderite ore.

Published: April 2020

Abstract

Background
the long-term effect of the use of drugs with anticholinergic activity on cognitive function remains unclear.

Methods
we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between anticholinergic drugs and risk of dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cognitive decline in the older population. We identified studies published between January 2002 and April 2018 with ≥12 weeks follow-up between strongly anticholinergic drug exposure and the study outcome measurement. We pooled adjusted odds ratios (OR) for studies reporting any, and at least short-term (90+ days) or long-term (365+ days) anticholinergic use for dementia and MCI outcomes, and standardised mean differences (SMD) in global cognition test scores for cognitive decline outcomes. Statistical heterogeneity was measured using the I2 statistic and risk of bias using ROBINS-I.

Results
twenty-six studies (including 621,548 participants) met our inclusion criteria. ‘Any’ anticholinergic use was associated with incident dementia (OR 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–1.32, I2 = 86%). Short-term and long-term use were also associated with incident dementia (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.17–1.29, I2 = 2%; and OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.22–1.85, I2 = 90%). ‘Any’ anticholinergic use was associated with cognitive decline (SMD 0.15; 95% CI 0.09–0.21, I2 = 3%) but showed no statistically significant difference for MCI (OR 1.24, 95% CI 0.97–1.59, I2 = 0%).

Conclusions
anticholinergic drug use is associated with increased dementia incidence and cognitive decline in observational studies. However, a causal link cannot yet be inferred, as studies were observational with considerable risk of bias. Stronger evidence from high-quality studies is needed to guide the management of long-term use.
Regulation of senescence-associated protease genes by sulphur availability according to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) phenological stage
Authors: Veliz Cintia G , Criado Maria Victoria , Galotta María Florencia , Roberts Irma N , Caputo Carla 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Background and Aims
Proteases are responsible for protein degradation during leaf senescence, allowing nutrients to be redirected to sink tissues. In a previous work, we reported that sulphur deficiency produced a delay in the leaf senescence of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants, at both vegetative and reproductive stages. In this work, we analyse the effect of sulphur deficiency on the expression of several genes coding for proteases of different catalytic groups, which have been strongly associated with leaf senescence.

Methods
Four independent experiments were performed in order to impose low sulphur availability conditions: one of steady-state sulphur deficiency during the vegetative stage and three of sulphur starvation during vegetative and reproductive stages.

Key Results
Sulphur deficiency inhibited or reduced the senescence-associated induction of seven of the eight proteases analysed. Their induction, as well as senescence and phloem amino acid remobilization, could be achieved with senescence inducers such as methyl-jasmonate (a hormonal stimulus) and darkness, but with different rates of induction dependent on each gene. Sulphur deficiency also exerted an opposite effect on the expression of two cysteine-protease genes (HvSAG12 and HvLEGU) as well as on one serine-protease gene (HvSUBT) according to leaf age and plant phenological stages. All three genes were induced in green leaves but were repressed in senescent leaves of sulphur-deficient plants at the vegetative stage. At the reproductive stage, both cysteine-proteases were only repressed in senescent leaves, while the serine-protease was induced in green and senescent leaves by sulphur deficiency.

Conclusions
Our results highlight the relevance of adequate sulphur nutrition in order to ensure leaf senescence onset and induction of protease genes, which will consequently impact on grain protein composition and quality. In addition, our results provide evidence that leaf age, plant developmental stage and the nature of the stress modulate the sulphur responses.
Extraterritorial forays by great tits are associated with dawn song in unexpected ways
Authors: Bircher Nina , van Oers Kees , Hinde Camilla A , Naguib Marc 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Conspicuous male signals often play an important role in both attracting mates and deterring rivals. In territorial species with extrapair mating, female and male forays to other territories may be an important component underlying female choice and male mating success and might be influenced by male advertisement signals. Yet, whether off-territory foraying is associated with male signals is still not well understood. Here, we tested how female and male forays are associated with short-range visual and long-range acoustic signals (dawn song). We used an automated radio tracking system to follow the movements of wild great tits (Parus major) to other territories in relation to male dawn song, plumage ornaments, and extrapair paternity. We show that both sexes frequently forayed into others’ territories throughout the breeding period. Movements of both males and females were associated with male song but not with plumage ornaments. Contrary to our expectations, females stayed away from territories where males sang elaborately, whereas males were attracted to those territories. Moreover, neither female nor male forays were associated with the occurrence of extrapair offspring. Our results, thus, suggest that, although forays into other territories are associated with male dawn song, females may not be attracted and males not repelled by dawn song. This sheds a different light on the sex-specific effects of male advertisement signals, expanding the view on the selection pressures shaping such communication systems.
Overlap detection on long, error-prone sequencing reads via smooth q-gram
Authors: Song Yan , Tang Haixu , Zhang Haoyu , Zhang Qin 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Motivation
Third generation sequencing techniques, such as the Single Molecule Real Time technique from PacBio and the MinION technique from Oxford Nanopore, can generate long, error-prone sequencing reads which pose new challenges for fragment assembly algorithms. In this paper, we study the overlap detection problem for error-prone reads, which is the first and most critical step in the de novo fragment assembly. We observe that all the state-of-the-art methods cannot achieve an ideal accuracy for overlap detection (in terms of relatively low precision and recall) due to the high sequencing error rates, especially when the overlap lengths between reads are relatively short (e.g. &lt;2000 bases). This limitation appears inherent to these algorithms due to their usage of q-gram-based seeds under the seed-extension framework.

Results
We propose smooth q-gram, a variant of q-gram that captures q-gram pairs within small edit distances and design a novel algorithm for detecting overlapping reads using smooth q-gram-based seeds. We implemented the algorithm and tested it on both PacBio and Nanopore sequencing datasets. Our benchmarking results demonstrated that our algorithm outperforms the existing q-gram-based overlap detection algorithms, especially for reads with relatively short overlapping lengths.

Advancing PICO element detection in biomedical text via deep neural networks
Authors: Jin Di , Szolovits Peter 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Motivation
In evidence-based medicine, defining a clinical question in terms of the specific patient problem aids the physicians to efficiently identify appropriate resources and search for the best available evidence for medical treatment. In order to formulate a well-defined, focused clinical question, a framework called PICO is widely used, which identifies the sentences in a given medical text that belong to the four components typically reported in clinical trials: Participants/Problem (P), Intervention (I), Comparison (C) and Outcome (O). In this work, we propose a novel deep learning model for recognizing PICO elements in biomedical abstracts. Based on the previous state-of-the-art bidirectional long-short-term memory (bi-LSTM) plus conditional random field architecture, we add another layer of bi-LSTM upon the sentence representation vectors so that the contextual information from surrounding sentences can be gathered to help infer the interpretation of the current one. In addition, we propose two methods to further generalize and improve the model: adversarial training and unsupervised pre-training over large corpora.

Results
We tested our proposed approach over two benchmark datasets. One is the PubMed-PICO dataset, where our best results outperform the previous best by 5.5%, 7.9% and 5.8% for P, I and O elements in terms of F1 score, respectively. And for the other dataset named NICTA-PIBOSO, the improvements for P/I/O elements are 3.9%, 15.6% and 1.3% in F1 score, respectively. Overall, our proposed deep learning model can obtain unprecedented PICO element detection accuracy while avoiding the need for any manual feature selection.
