Published: April 2023

Relevance. From an agrotechnical point of view, beans are a valuable crop capable of greening agriculture. Legumes have the ability to enter into symbiotic relationships with nodule nitrogen-fixing bacteria and assimilate atmospheric nitrogen. The creation of highly efficient plant-microbial systems in agrocenoses by breeding new varieties of legumes with a high symbiotic potential is a promising direction that makes it possible to control the efficiency of plant biomass accumulation and the quality of agricultural products. There is a need to evaluate varieties for adaptability and nodule-forming ability to implement breeding programs to create highly productive and high-quality varieties that can realize the genetic potential of productivity in the sharply continental climate.Materials and methods. On the basis of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education Novosibirsk State Agrarian University in 2018-2020, an assessment was made of green bean varieties of different ecological and geographical origin with a bush type of growth. Experimental fields are located in the village of Michurinsky (left bank of Novosibirsk) and the educational and production farm "Garden of Michurintsev" (right bank of Novosibirsk). The study of samples in terms of adaptability parameters, as well as the ability to form nodules, was performed in accordance with generally accepted methods. We took into account the characteristics that affect the productivity of the crop - the number and weight of beans per plant, the weight of one bean, and the yield. The aim of the work is to evaluate the varieties of vegetable beans for adaptability and nodule-forming ability in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the Siberian region.Results. When forming the symbiotic apparatus, the growth conditions were taken into account. It has been established that high rates of biomass are observed on the territory of the village of Michurinsky. Varieties Morena and Maguyra are characterized by intensive growth in the experimental field of the village of Michurinsky, varieties Zoluyshka and Solnyshko – the educational and production farm "Garden of Michurintsev". The total number of nodules per plant varied from 29 (Kormilitsa) to 66. (Zoluyshka), active nodules – from 9 (Kormilitsa) to 49 (Zoluyshka). It is noted that the varieties Solnyshko and Zoluyshka have high rates of general adaptive ability and breeding value of the genotype. A strong relationship has been established between the characteristics of leaf mass and the number of active nodules, the number of active nodules and the leaf surface area; average - between the number of active nodules and plant biomass.

Relevance. This article shows the research conducted by researchers from the agrotechnical department of the Bykovskaya melon breeding station from 2018 to 2020.Results. The data obtained make it possible to scientifically substantiate the most cost-effective methods and techniques for treating table watermelon plants to increase productivity in the Volgograd Trans-Volga region. Indicators of economic efficiency of production make it possible to compare the results of economic activity and reveal the productivity of the enterprise for this period in connection with an increase in the use of means of production and labor. In modern conditions of development of agricultural production, there is a need to develop new technologies adapted to the new conditions of land use. In connection with the sharp decline in recent years in the use of fertilizers, the problem arose of finding ways to maximize the use of the biological factor. To obtain stable yields, it is necessary to increase the adaptive capabilities of plants to extreme conditions in which gourds are grown in the zone of industrial melon growing in the Volgograd Trans-Volga region. One of them is the use of plant growth regulators and water-soluble fertilizers. One of the advantages of these drugs is their simplicity, variety of methods of their application and low cost. According to the cost-effectiveness data, it can be seen that the foliar treatment of table watermelon plants was the best option. In the first experiment, the Fitozont regulator, in the second, the water-soluble fertilizer Khakafos with one and a half norm (0.9), in the third experiment, the best results were shown by the variant with foliar treatment with a growth regulator in combination with the water-soluble fertilizer Vigor Forte + Agrovin Profi at a dosage of (0.05+0.5).

Authors: Sokolova D. V. , Shelenga T. V. , Solovieva A. E. 
Published: April 2023

Relevance. The main source of the natural pigment betanin is table beet, known for its medicinal and antioxidant properties, earliness and long shelf life, rich in bioactive compounds, minerals and vitamins. This research was induced by the lack of information required by breeders to increase betanin content in beet. Metabolite profiling is an effective way to assess the interplay between individual metabolites and betanin content in table beet.Materials and methods. The material was selected from the the N.I. Vavilov Institute of plant industry (VIR) collection. Biochemical analysis was based on VIR’s guidelines, and metabolite profiling on gas chromatography, coupled with mass spectrometry.Results. 17 free amino acids were found in the beet root extract. The greatest number of positive correlations with other amino acids (r˃0.72) was found in tyrosine, alanine and phenylalanine. A significant (r = –0.66) negative correlation was observed between betanin and succinic acid, credibly associated with betalamic acid. Sucrose predominated among carbohydrates (95%). Sucrose and maltose showed a weak positive correlation with betanin. Unsaturated oleic and saturated palmitic acids dominated among fatty acids (52% and 20% of total fatty acids, respectively). Earlier-ripening and cold-resistant table beet accessions showed a predominance of unsaturated fatty acids and lower betanin content. The disclosed interactions are important for betanin-rich red beet breeding.

Published: April 2023

Relevance. The use of biological preparations in agricultural technology of agricultural crops contributes to the preservation of agrophytocenosis, reduces environmental pollution and has a positive effect on the growth and development of the plants themselves. In this regard, the determination of the effectiveness of the use of biological products in the presowing treatment of common bean seeds is relevant and timely.Materials and methods. In our study, we studied the effect of presowing treatment of common bean seeds with biological products: Polydon Bio Profi, Polydon Amino Mix, Polydon Aminomix, Alfastim on germination energy, germination, seed sprout size, number of roots and length of the root system. Three varieties were taken as objects of study: Athlete, Omichka, Sirenevaya.Results. A different effect of preparations on the time of seed germination was revealed. The average germination time in options 1-4 was higher than the control values for all varieties, i.e. drugs slowed down germination. The seeds of the tested varieties responded positively to treatment with Alfastim (option 5): the average germination time in Fizkulturnitsa and Sirenevaya decreased by 8.5 and 9.8%, in the Omichka variety by 45%, compared with the control. Among the tested varieties, it is necessary to single out the Sirenevaya variety, which has the highest germination energy (ES) from 90% to 100% and seed germination (VS) from 98-100% in all treatment options. The most effective treatment of the Omichka variety was in option 2 (EP-90%, germination rate 90%), the values exceeded the control by 5%. For all options, the germination energy of the Fizkulturnitsa variety ranged from 72 to 90%, germination from 73 to 93%. A positive effect of drugs on the germination of seeds of this variety was established. The defeat of bean seeds by mold fungi was noted. Seed damage is mild to moderate. Seed damage by mold fungi in the variants using Polydon Bio Profi was absent, or it was weak up to 3.3% for all tested varieties. Morphobiometric indicators of seedlings and their root system in all varieties developed more effectively on variants with the use of Polydon Bio Profi and Alfastim preparations, and their mixtures

Authors: Supontawanit Preyanan , Lertlit Supinda 
Published: April 2023

Thailand’s national tests, O-NET, are administered at the 3rd, 6th, and 9th grade levels. Mathematics is one of the tests. Achievement levels in Mathematics are consistently low. Several studies have shown that there is a link between Mathematics achievement and reading comprehension proficiency. Because previous studies were carried out in other jurisdictions, this study aims to correct this situation. Random sampling was used to select the population from a field of 66 grade six students who were enrolled in a special English programme in a private school, Bangkok. 21 students met the sampling criteria. They sat for a pretest and a posttest test in reading comprehension and in word problem-solving skills in mathematics. Treatment was carried out over a period of 8 weeks. Results showed a high positive correlation between reading comprehension skills and achievement in word problem-solving skills in Mathematics. The results can serve as an encouragement to teachers and their supervisors to focus more directly on improving the reading comprehension skills of students as a means to increasing students’ scores on mathematical word-solving tests.
HIGHLIGHTS:

This study provided the results that these two-skill were positively related and the improvement on reading comprehension skill could induce the development in word problem-solving skills because they both were affected by working memory as an essential key factor.
Providing stress-free reading environments and activities could be an interesting option to improve student’s word problem-solving skills in Mathematics.

Published: April 2023

The main results of the creation of the domestic complex “Vizir” for measuring bidirectional spectropolarization reflection coefficients and brightness of natural and artificial objects were presented in the article. Its purpose, composition and main technical parameters were indicated.Spectral-polarization studies of the characteristics of samples that simulates objects (pollution) of natural (forest fires) and man-made (oil spills) emergencies were performed with the help of complex “Vizir” using polarizing nozzles under various conditions (angles of illumination, observation, pollution concentration, the time that passed since the contamination, the degree of wood thermal damage). The results of studies made it possible to increase the accuracy of identification of monitoring objects in emergency zones up to two times.The main provisions of the two developed methods were outlined. The first method was methodology for determination of the controlled parameters of forest fires by means of aviation monitoring, which makes it possible to record the maximum values of the degree of polarization of reflected radiation for coal 30–40 % and for semi-coal 15–20 % in the wavelength range from 0.5 to 0.7 μm. The second one was methodology for determination of the controlled parameters of man-made emergencies with oil spills by means of aviation monitoring, which makes it possible to record the maximum values of the degree of polarization of an oil spill on water: 40–50 % at optimal view angles close to specular in relation to the angle of solar radiation incidence.The developed methods were introduced into the activities of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus to make the right management decisions to eliminate emergency situations and their consequences.
Power Calculation of Anti-Driveaway Crane Device from Eccentric and Wedge Mechanisms
Authors: Selivonchik N. M. , Nesterenko N. L. 
Published: April 2023

To carry out a power calculation of the anti-driveaway device (AD) of lifting cranes operating in the open air, it is necessary to know the conditions that ensure their reliable stop and fixation on rails, as well as kinematic parameters, namely, the speed and acceleration of cranes when they move along the rails under the influence of the wind force. The considered AD for stopping cranes driven away by the force of the wind uses a tong gripper driven by an eccentric mechanism.The paper presents the calculation of the forces arising during the operation of the tong gripper, considering the possibilities of various types of friction on the contact surfaces both in the absence of lubrication and in its presence. The calculations of the eccentric mechanism as one of the fundamental mechanisms of the anti-driveaway crane device are presented in the paper. The stronger the wind force, the more due to the kinematic connection of the two mechanisms, when turning the eccentric mechanism, the pressure of the tong mechanism increases on the side faces of the head of the crane rail. The constructive solution of the AD excludes any actions of the personnel and makes it automatic.
Features of Nonlinear Calculation of Bending Rods Partially Supported on Elastic Foundation
Authors: Skachok1 P. D. 
Published: April 2023

The paper investigates the results of solving spatial contact problems on the free support of bending rods (hereinafter referred to as beams) on elastic quarter-space and octant of space. The objectives of the study include determining the stress state of contact pads, obtaining a picture of the distribution of contact stresses over them, and studying the features that arise when solving these contact problems. The main solution method is the method of B. N. Zhemochkin, based on the discretization of contact areas by replacing a continuous contact with a point one. This approach allows us to reduce the contact problem to the calculation of a statically indeterminate system using well-developed methods of structural mechanics. The mathematical model of the contact problems to be solved is built on the assumption of linear elastic (geometric and physical linearity) work of both the bending element and the elastic foundation. Since in the process of deformation the end sections of the beam element can break away from the support areas, the contact problems to be solved belong to the group of contact problems with a previously unknown contact area. The design schemes of such problems are constructively nonlinear, and their calculation is carried out by iterative methods. Based on the results of solving the considered contact problems, it has been found that with a geometrically symmetrical support of the beam element on the left and right on elastic quarter-spaces (space octants) with equal support areas, but different mechanical characteristics, as well as symmetrical loading, the values of support reactions, considering them as resultants of contact stresses on the left and right contact pads, and the coordinates of the points of their application are not equal to each other. The solution of the contact problem leads to a similar result in the case of a bending beam element resting on the elastic quarter-space on one side, and on the edge of the space octant on the other. In addition, a constant torque appears along the entire length of the beam element, indicating that the beam element is in a torsional transverse bending condition.
Comparative Analysis of Movements of Curved Ultrasonic Instruments
Authors: Lugovoi V. P. 
Published: April 2023

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of vibrations of a curvilinear rod in the form of a loop of low rigidity formed from a quarter of a circle with a constant radius, limited by an angle π/2 < γ < π and two rectilinear rods. It is indicated that in the practice of ultrasonic technology, some types of structures are known in which elastic elements are used as resonators, waveguides, oscillation transformers and instruments for influencing the processed materials. Their use makes it possible to obtain an additional impulse of force in the working area by using the potential energy caused by the action of the elastic properties of such elements. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the theoretical justification of the use of elastic elements in ultrasonic systems. In this regard, the present work is devoted to the theoretical substantiation of the use of an elastic tool made of a thin rod having the shape of a loop. The diagram and calculation of displacements of the free end of a curved rod under the action of forces directed along the longitudinal axis are given in the paper. It is shown that elastic displacements are caused by a curved shape in the form of an arc of a circle of a curved rod. For comparison, calculation schemes of two types of curved rod with an attached rod are given. In the first case, the free ends of the rectilinear rods, directed vertically downwards, make elastic movements along two coordinates. In the second case, the ends of rectilinear rods directed at a certain angle to the vertical axis and converging at the bottom point due to the symmetry of their location, make vertical movements only along one coordinate. The considered shape of the curved rod can be successfully used as a tool for performing technological tasks in the ultrasonic method of processing holes in brittle materials, spot welding, etc. Such a scheme, in contrast to the traditional ultrasonic treatment scheme based on the use of rectilinear rods, makes it possible to increase the magnitude of the vibration amplitude of the instrument due to elastic displacements of the curved section of the rod of low rigidity. The proposed form will increase the intensity of tool vibrations and increase process productivity and processing accuracy. The resulting calculation formula shows that the amount of elastic displacements of curved rods is affected by the cross-sectional stiffness and the radius of curvature of the curved part, as well as the angle of inclination of the rectilinear rod. The theoretical calculation is supplemented by a comparative experimental study of the Chladni forms for both schemes obtained on the sheet surface using abrasive particles.
