Published: July 2023

Abstract
In recent years, traditional buildings have gained significant attention from a number of dwellers. In a country like India, a considerable part of the county experiences warm and humid weather and such tropical conditions pose a significant challenge from a sustainable perspective. The principles of vernacular architecture and its contribution to the world of architecture have evolved. While active and passive design strategies are the best possible solutions, taken up by architects to design the traditional buildings, the current research paper takes a context-driven passive design strategy to provide the best possible comfort for the inhabitants of warm and humid climates using a traditional building design. The study identified temperature, ventilation, materials and the construction techniques as the major factors that influence design strategies, which aim at providing thermal comfort to the users. In this study, a case building was evaluated through context-driven analysis. The data was collected through field study and surveys. Then, the collected data was consolidated and analysed. The findings reveal that spatial planning, materials and the construction techniques driven by the context altogether impact the environment positively.
Sustainable Management of Bio Medical Waste in Chennai: A case study
Authors: Suresh Kavitha , Ramamurthy Suresh 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The aim of the current research article is to study various treatment techniques involved in the management of bio medical waste and select the most appropriate treatment method in terms of cost savings, energy recovery and waste volume reduction in a sustainable manner. Most of the HCF (Health Care Facilities) lacks the provision for on-site waste treatment facility. One of the major reasons might be the fear of high pollutant emission levels from multiple machines or equipment used in the treatment process. At times, it could be due to lack of sufficient space within the clinical premises. To overcome this situation, a minor amendment has to be introduced in the bio medical waste management rules 2016, which includes providing a suitable area necessary for medical waste treatment within the premises, during the construction stage itself. Further, the identification of appropriate treatment techniques based on the type of waste generated is also important. Even a primary HCF too should be equipped with the requisite treatment facilities, considering the emission levels to be within the standards. This sort of installing an on-site waste treatment facility will reduce the amount spent upon external agencies for disposal and treatment of the medical waste. Then, the leftover residue is securely landfilled in the dedicated site or even be liable to mix with the municipal solid garbage. The current study concludes that the implementation of one of the treatment techniques in a specific hospital helps in energy recovery, huge reduction in the volume of waste generation and avoids illegal dumping of the waste, thereby creating less impact on the surrounding environment.

Impact of green cover on improving outdoor thermal comfort in Urban Residential Clusters
Authors: Horrison Ebin , Stephi Henya 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
‘Urban Open Space' is an essential component of the urban landscape. “Green spaces” connect built structures to the outdoors through urban open spaces. Controlling the thermal conditions such as air temperature and radiation conditions in outdoor urban areas can help to modify microclimates. This study attempts to establish the importance of landscape by analyzing the various microclimate parameters and their impact on outdoor spaces. The focus of this research is to see how changing the landscape and green cover in an urban residential neighbourhood affects the microclimate in the selected locations. The onsite climatic data were collected using HOBO data loggers at the strategic locations, and the entire thermal comfort performance of the existing scenario was analysed using ENVI-met, and the performance of the existing scenario was then compared with the proposed scenario where the percentage of the green cover was increased. The research will contribute to a better understanding of the role of green cover in increasing thermal comfort in outdoor spaces of residential clusters. This will enable designers to incorporate outdoor thermal comfort as an important design constraint.
Anticipated transients without scram in an innovative power nuclear reactor of anomalously high power
Authors: Okunev V S 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The article considers the possibility of creating a safe power reactor of anomalously high power. This may be relevant in the transition to large-scale safe and environmentally acceptable nuclear power. The safety justification is carried out based on mathematical modeling of the most dangerous emergency modes from among ATWS (anticipated transients without scram). With the use of a number of innovations (the UN-PuN-U cermets fuel used, a coolant based on lead with a high concentration of the 208Pb isotope, and tungsten fuel cladding), it was possible to ensure the safety of a fast reactor with an electric power of up to 3 GW. In contrast to previously proposed innovations, the article considers core layouts containing fuel pins with claddings made entirely of tungsten. Emergency modes are modeled approximately based on solving three groups of equations: a system of point kinetic equations, a non-stationary heat conduction equation, which, and a reactivity balance equation. The value of the void reactivity effect is estimated based on the solution of the gas-kinetic neutron transport equation. Reserves have been identified in further increasing the power and safety of the power reactor. They are associated with the optimization of the size of granules of ceramic and metal powders in the fuel composition.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The article discusses the possibility of using growth regulators on tea plantations. The accumulation of biologically active substances associated not only with the stability of plants, but also with the nutritional significance of raw materials has been revealed. Activation of synthetic processes is shown. Under the influence of growth regulators during a stressful period, dry matter accumulates more in the leaves; tannins and ascorbic acid, as elements of plant protection from stress. The yield of the plantation increases and the nutritional value increases due to an increase in ascorbic acid in the flushes. The study is aimed at establishing the possibility of increasing the adaptive potential of tea grown in the conditions of the North-Western Caucasus using growth regulators.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper aimed to compare the diversity and abundance of fauna of Lepidoptera on wetland sites damaged by peat extraction and remained in their natural state, which locate on the territory of the Ramsar wetland in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The surveys were curried out monthly in May–September 2021. We used methods of attracting moths to a white screen using mercury and ultraviolet lamps (5 nights per each study plot). Diurnal butterflies were being identified along pedestrian routes (total length – 11.4 km) during a day. Indices characterizing the α- and β-diversity of Lepidoptera were calculated. At both plots, we revealed the species diversity of Macrolepidoptera more than 70%. According to our results the abundance and diversity of Macrolepidoptera in the study plots seem to be the same. In the course of succession, after the complete destruction of peat bogs and forests on a site surrounded by intact communities, species abundance and diversity is rapidly restored and reaches a high level. The composition of faunas in the transformed and undisturbed plots differs significantly; the similarity in Jacquard is 44.7%. The ecological features of butterfly species recorded only on one of the study plots were evaluated. The role of the surveyed territories as habitats of rare and endangered butterfly species is shown as well.

Abstract
The article considers long-term studies (2013-2022), the purpose of which is to carry out an evolutionary assessment of the parameters of adaptability and productivity of winter soft wheat varieties created over the last twenty years that have undergone a variety change in the conditions of the Ryazan region and determine the vector of their selection change according to these parameters. As an object of research, 11 varieties related to the last stages of breeding work were used. It was revealed that modern varieties are superior in yield to varieties of earlier selection, regardless of external environmental conditions, and have the highest adaptability in the conditions of the region. Varieties released in the period 2013-2023 and being varieties of the modern generation (VI period), have an excess yield of 14.3% (0.8 t/ha), in comparison with the varieties of the previous selection of 2000-2011. (V period). Intervarietal yield variation reaches 15.7-16.5%, making a difference of 0.85-0.96 t/ha in favor of modern varieties. The limit of the minimum (by 21.3%) and maximum (by 10.7%) yields is higher for new varieties. According to the obtained maximum yield (more than 9.50 t/ha), varieties Galateya and Boyarka stood out. Varieties of the modern generation have a significant advantage: in realizing the yield potential (by 16.8%) and its smaller variation (by 1.7%) over the years of research; in terms of adaptability to the region of cultivation and manifested environmental stress factors, manifested in an increase in the index of variety stability (IS = 2.3), an indicator of the level of variety stability (VSS = 147.9%), adaptability coefficient (C.A.> 1.0) and evenness coefficient (B=71.2%). Winter wheat varieties of the new generation Viola, Danae, Felicia, Galateya, Anfisa, Boyarka and Ivita are presented as more productive and adaptive to the conditions of the region.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The article discusses the results of studies in mature and overmature pine, larch and spruce forests of the green moss group of forest types (more than 80), passed through renewal felling in the north-taiga forest region of the European part of the Russian Federation. The results of the research were obtained on the basis of observation materials in the period from 1999-2022. Works were carried out to study the felling parameters to assess the forest plantations passed through the renewal felling: forest type, soil conditions, age, tree stand structure, composition and age, availability of seed sources, presence of undergrowth and young generation of economically valuable species, as well as changes in taxation indicators. It is advisable to carry out renewal cuttings in mature and overmature stands, thereby catching up with natural decay in order to create the necessary conditions for good growth and formation of a forest stand. One of the options may be the creation of forest plantations of such a composition, density, which could provide the best performance in terms of the main quantitative and qualitative characteristics.

Jurisdictional overlap between domestic courts and investment arbitration: an occasion for judicial dialogue
Authors: Brenninkmeijer Mees 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Since investors can commonly bring claims under both an international investment treaty and contracts, domestic courts and investment treaty tribunals may compete for jurisdiction over what is—in essence—the same dispute. While much has been written about the distinction between treaty and contract as well as its application in practice, relatively little attention has been paid to the extent of judicial dialogue between domestic courts and investment arbitration regarding this jurisdictional overlap. Investment treaty tribunals have arguably circumvented the issue altogether and show remarkably little restraint when faced with a conflicting contractual forum-selection clause. This current conceptual position presents several issues, however, which domestic courts may encourage arbitral tribunals to overcome. Finding an occasion for more judicial dialogue should therefore not be perceived as an undue encroachment of domestic courts on the autonomous nature of arbitration, but rather as an incentive for investment treaty tribunals to scrutinize the limits of their own jurisdiction more carefully and to start regulating the issue of jurisdictional overlap differently.
