Abstract:

In the years 2005 and 2006 the effect of site conditions, yellow and purple fleshed varieties and mineral fertilization on the content of total polyphenols (TP) in potato tubers was investigated. In both years significantly the highest TP content (by 5.7 to 56.3% higher than in other localities) was determined at the Stachy locality; we ascribe it to apparently lower temperatures in the vegetation period at this locality of higher altitude. In the purple flesh Valfi variety TP content higher by 74 to 141% was recorded in average of both years, in comparison to yellow flesh varieties. In the group of eight yellow flesh varieties the highest TP content was recorded in the Ditta variety; it was higher by 38, 29 and 24% in comparison with Saturna, Agria and Asterix varieties. TP content was not significantly affected by fertilization with mineral fertilizers.

Abstract:

This study investigated the influence of site conditions on the physical and morphological properties of hawthorn (Crataegus azarolus L.) wood grown in Zagros forests of Iran. Hawthorn is a valuable woody species in Iran’s Zagros forests with data deficiency in its wood properties. To our best knowledge, there is no study on the properties of hawthorn wood. Twenty-seven mature trees were randomly chosen and sampled at three altitude levels (1 800–2 000, 2 000–2 200, and 2 200–2 400 m) in the Bazoft region of Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari, Iran. Dry wood density, volumetric shrinkage, fibre length, fibre diameter, cell wall thickness were then determined. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to evaluate significant differences between the mean values of studied wood properties at different altitude levels and slope classes. Moreover, the relationships between the above-mentioned properties and some site conditions (temperature, precipitation, altitude, and slope) as well as growth parameters of trees (tree height, DBH, age, crown dimensions, volume, etc.) were studied by principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that trees growing at the second altitude level had the highest oven-dry density values, and those at the third altitude level had the lowest ones. Results also indicated a significant effect of altitude levels on fibre length, fibre diameter, and cell wall thickness. In contrast, a significant difference was found between the mean values of fibre diameter at different slope classes. PCA indicated that altitude, precipitation, and temperature are the most important environmental site variables affecting the wood characteristics.

Abstract:

The travel-time averaged shear-wave velocity to a depth of 30m (Vs30) below the Earth’s surface is widely used to classify sites in many building codes. Vs30 is also used to estimate site classification in recent ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs), and the distribution of Vs30 has been mapped in a region or country. An alternative method has recently been proposed for evaluating global seismic site conditions or Vs30, from the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) DEMs (digital elevation models). The basic premise of the method is that the topographic slope can be used as a reliable proxy for Vs30 in the absence of geologically and geotechnically based site-condition maps through correlations between Vs30 measurements and topographic gradient. Here, we use different resolutions (3 arcsec, 30 arcsec) DEM data to get Vs30 data separately, analyze and compare the difference of Vs30 data and site conditions obtained from different resolution DEM data. Shandong Province in eastern China and Sichuan Province in Western China are studied respectively. It is found that the higher resolution data is better at defining spatial topographic features than the 30c data, but less improvement in its correlation with Vs30.

Abstract:

In precise field trials in the CR in the years 2004 and 2005 the effect of site conditions, yellow- and purple-fleshed varieties and fertilization on the content of total polyphenols (TP) in potato tubers was investigated. Comparing four localities, significantly highest TP content (by 5.7 to 13.4% higher than in other localities) was determined in the locality Stachy in both years, which we ascribe to apparently lower temperatures in the vegetation period in this locality of high altitude. In comparison to yellow flesh varieties, in the case of purple flesh Valfi variety TP content higher by 52 to 153% was recorded as the average of both years. As for the group of eight yellow flesh varieties, Karin variety had the highest TP content and showed a significant increase in comparison to Agria, Saturna and Asterix varieties by 67, 60 and 37%, respectively. TP content was not demonstrably affected by fertilization with mineral fertilizers, but we recorded a tendency to lesser TP content (by 3 to 9.9%) in the variant with higher potassium and magnesium fertilization (166 kg K/ha and 60 kg Mg/ha).

Abstract:

Seismic site amplification factors and seismic design spectra for bridges are influenced by site conditions that include geotechnical properties of soil strata as well as the geological setting. All modern seismic design codes recognize this fact and assign design spectral shapes based on site conditions or specify a 2-parameter model with site amplification factors as a function of site class, seismic intensity and vibration period (short and long). Design codes made a number of assumptions related to the site conditions while specifying the values of short (Fa) and long period (Fv) site amplification factors. Making these assumptions was necessary due to vast variation in site properties and limited availability of actual strong motion records on all site conditions and seismic setting in a region. This paper conducted a sensitivity analysis for site amplification factors for site classes C and D in the AASHTO bridge design code by performing a 1-D site response analysis in which values of site parameters like strata depth, travel-time averaged shear wave velocity in the top 30 m strata (Vs30), plasticity index (PI), impedance contrast ratio (ICR) and intensity of seismic ground motion were varied. The results were analyzed to identify the site parameters that impacted Fa and Fv values for site classes C and D. The computed Fa and Fv values were compared with the corresponding values in the AASHTO bridge design code and it was found that the code-based Fa and Fv values were generally underestimated and overestimated respectively.

Abstract:

The paper analyses the representation of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) (hereinafter spruce) in relation to different conditions of forest sites. The analysis is based on data from the National Forest Inventory conducted in the Czech Republic in 2001-2004 (hereinafter NFI), stratified according to units of the Forest Site Classification System (Plíva 1971, 2000). Results of the analysis provide a structured image of the current share of spruce. The formerly published information on the natural share of spruce was corroborated and the recommended share of spruce in the target species composition of the spruce management system was analyzed. The analysis documents the applicability of NFI data in the technical discussion concerning the future form of forest ecosystems in the Czech Republic. The results can be used as the groundwork for concrete forest management decision-making and will contribute to the study of the biological diversity of forest ecosystems.

Abstract:

The present limnological investigations include analysis of various physico- chemical parameters at the selected site in Wular lake, Kashmir (a Ramsar site) from March, 2007 to February, 2008. The aim of current study was to evaluate the status of the Wular lake water on the basis of different physico-chemical conditions. The water depth ranged from 1.35 (m) to 2.60 (m). The pH of the water was on alkaline side throughout the study period. The lake depicted the usual cation progression: Ca > Mg. The lake can be categorized as calcium rich after Ohle (1934). Specific conductance was found low in spring and summer. High values of transparency were recorded in winter. The lake water is typical hard water type. The alkalinity was due to bicarbonates only. High values of both NO3–N (338 ?g/L) and PO4–P (203 ?g/L) were recorded during summer. Statistical analysis was also carried out to find out the degree of relationship between various abiotic factors. Dissolved oxygen showed significant negative correlation with water temperature (r = –0.839), whereas significant positive correlation with pH (r = 0.854) at the selected site. pH showed significant negative correlation with water temperature (r = –0.777) and CO2 (r = –0.854) respectively, at the selected site.

Full text

Abstract:

There is a growing interest in studying consistency and site fidelity of individuals to assess, respectively, how individual behaviour shapes the population response to environmental changes, and to highlight the critical habitats needed by species. In Antarctica, the foraging activity of central place foragers like Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) is constrained by the sea-ice cover during the breeding season. We estimated the population-level repeatability in foraging trip parameters and sea-ice conditions encountered by birds across successive trips over several years, and we examined their foraging site fidelity linked to sea-ice concentrations throughout the chick-rearing season. Penguins’ foraging activity was repeatable despite varying annual sea-ice conditions. Birds’ site fidelity is constrained by both sea-ice conditions around the colony that limit movements and resources availability, and also behavioural repeatability of individuals driven by phenological constraints. Adélie penguins favoured sea-ice concentrations between 20–30%, as these facilitate access to open water while opening multiple patches for exploration in restricted areas in case of prey depletion. When the sea-ice concentration became greater than 30%, foraging site fidelity decreased and showed higher variability, while it increased again after 60%. Between two trips, the foraging site fidelity remained high when sea-ice concentration changed by ± 10% but showed greater variability when sea-ice concentrations differed on a larger range. In summary, Adélie penguins specialize their foraging behaviour during chick-rearing according to sea-ice conditions to enhance their reproductive success. The balance between being consistent under favourable environmental conditions vs. being flexible under more challenging conditions may be key to improving foraging efficiency and reproductive success to face fast environmental changes.

Full text

Abstract:

The structural behavior of zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) under reducing conditions at high temperature has been studied, mainly by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD), but also with x-ray absorption spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and electron paramagnetic resonance. The partial reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+, associated with a reducing atmosphere heat treatment, led to the initial formation of perovskite (CaTiO3) as a second phase. As the concentration of Ti3+ in the zirconolite increased, so did the amount of perovskite until the zirconolite was totally transformed into a fluorite structured phase. Analysis of the reduced zirconolites showed them to be consistently deficient in Ca and enriched in Zr, in proportion to the concentration of Ti3+. To determine how electroneutrality was preserved in these reduced zirconolites, a series of zirconolites were prepared in air using In3+ and Ga3+ as models for Ti3+. These samples were then investigated by neutron and x-ray diffraction, SEM, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). 71Ga MAS NMR studies of the Ga substituted zirconolite exhibited a narrow resonance at ˜13 ppm which was attributed to six-coordinate Ga incorporated in a trace perovskite phase. Broadline 71Ga NMR and 69/71Ga NQR were required to characterize the Ga incorporated in the zirconolite. The resultant quadrupolar parameters of CQ = 30.0 ± 0.05 MHz and η = 1.0 ± 0.03 indicate that the Ga site is in a highly distorted environment which would suggest that it is located on the five-coordinate Ti site within the zirconolite lattice. These results were complemented by Rietveld refinement of the neutron diffraction data from the In-doped zirconolite sample, which was optimal when all the In was located on the five-coordinate Ti site with the excess Zr located on the Ca site. It would therefore appear that charge compensation for the presence of Ti3+ in zirconolite is effected via the substitution of an appropriate amount of Zr on the Ca site. The Ti3+-stabilized fluorite structure was readily oxidized back to a single phase zirconolite upon heating in air.

Abstract:

When a state of emergency in Ecuador's prison system was declared in 2007, municipal leaders in Guayaquil built the country's first “supermax” prison, La Roca, for the administrative segregation of inmates considered a security threat. I suggest that administrative curtailment of access to these so-called “worst of the worst” prisoners merits legal comparisons with the juridical status of detainees in US “black site” facilities, the inter-American drug wars now paralleling the global war on terror insofar as prisoners' rights are concerned. Contrasting my brief visit to La Roca with political-economic and media analysis, my article draws two conclusions: (1) that limited physical access to prisoners, stimulated by administrative “zones of legal silence”, demands an ethnographic focus on daily conditions of prison life using inconsistencies in administrative rhetoric; and (2) that measures to securitize the prison system have augmented prison directors' powers to coerce inmates and to confound understandings of their living conditions.

Abstract:

We consider Glauber dynamics on finite spin systems. The mixing time of Glauber dynamics can be bounded in terms of the influences of sites on each other. We consider three parameters bounding these influences: α, the total influence on a site, as studied by Dobrushin; α′, the total influence of a site, as studied by Dobrushin and Shlosman; and α″, the total influence of a site in any given context, which is related to the path-coupling method of Bubley and Dyer. It is known that if any of these parameters is less than 1 then random-update Glauber dynamics (in which a randomly chosen site is updated at each step) is rapidly mixing. It is also known that the Dobrushin condition α < 1 implies that systematic-scan Glauber dynamics (in which sites are updated in a deterministic order) is rapidly mixing. This paper studies two related issues, primarily in the context of systematic scan: (1) the relationship between the parameters α, α′ and α″, and (2) the relationship between proofs of rapid mixing using Dobrushin uniqueness (which typically use analysis techniques) and proofs of rapid mixing using path coupling. We use matrix balancing to show that the Dobrushin–Shlosman condition α′ < 1 implies rapid mixing of systematic scan. An interesting question is whether the rapid mixing results for scan can be extended to the α = 1 or α′ = 1 case. We give positive results for the rapid mixing of systematic scan for certain α = 1 cases. As an application, we show rapid mixing of systematic scan (for any scan order) for heat-bath Glauber dynamics for properq-colourings of a degree-Δ graphGwhenq≥ 2Δ.

Abstract:

Introduction. This article discusses the problem of developing the creative potential of a teacher. The theoretical and methodological approaches to this problem are analyzed. The theoretical basis of the study was the work of the idea of innovative activity as a factor in the development of the school and the general education system as a whole (V.N. Averkin, A.G. Kasprzhak, N.M. Martynova, N.A. Sadovsky and others); general issues of innovation (V.A. Bolotov, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, A.G. Kasprzhak, M.V. Klarin, V.A. Slastenin, etc.); ideas of pedagogical innovation and the role of the teacher in the development of innovative processes (Yu.K. Babansky, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, G.A. Ignatiev, A.P. Tryapitsyna, A.V. Khutorskoy, etc.).As a result of the study, it was found that one of the leading tasks in the development of the lifelong education system is the orientation of educational programs towards teaching the skills necessary for innovative activity, including analytical and critical thinking, the pursuit of new things, the ability to constantly learn, readiness for reasonable risk, creativity and enterprise, willingness to work in a highly competitive environment. At the same time, the practice teacher must be psychologically prepared for pedagogical activity in the new sociocultural conditions, make original non-standard decisions, plan the educational process and predict possible results, be prepared for innovative activities. One of the possible ways of professional development of a teacher-practitioner is his participation in federal innovation platforms. Under the conditions of the federal innovation platform, the development of the scientific and innovative potential of educational organizations, the introduction of innovative educational programs, the inclusion of students and teachers in design and research activities aimed at unlocking the creative potential of educational institutions is being updated.The work emphasizes that according to the research of modern scientists (V.Zhabina, S.N. Tolstov, etc., innovative activity is inseparable from creativity, because it provides the generation of new ideas, the implementation of which become innovations. As a result, the purpose of the study is actualized: development of the teacher’s creative potential in the context of the activities of the federal innovative platform “Pedagogical Leadership”.Materials and methods. A model of complex psychological and pedagogical support for professional self-determination and professional career of students is developed and presented. The model is implemented on the basis of the Municipal Public Educational Institution “School No. 187 with in-depth study of individual subjects” in the city of Novgorod. The school carries out general education programs (the normative period of study is 2 years); general educational programs with an in-depth study of the economy (standard training period of 2 years); general educational programs with in-depth study of mathematics (the normative period of study is 2 years).In order to determine the initial features of professional self-determination of high school students, a pilot study was conducted. The diagnostic tools are based on the following methods: the questionnaire of personal orientations of E. Shostroma, adapted by Yu.E. Aleshina, L.Ya. Gozman, M.V. Zagika – measures the self-actualization of the personality (CAT); methods of studying the factors of attractiveness of the profession (V.A. Yadov, modification N.V. Kuzmina, A.A. Rean).Results. The purpose of the study was realized on the example of the experimental work of the MAOU “School No. 187 with in-depth study of individual subjects” (Nizhny Novgorod). Since 2019, this school has been a member of the federal innovative platform “Pedagogical Leadership”. The authors note that the innovative platform is a motivational, informative and technological resource for the professional development of the teacher. At the same time, along with pedagogical leadership, the development of creative potential is a key element in achieving the effectiveness of the school system, focused on the implementation of innovative projects.The article defines the tasks of implementing the innovative platform "Pedagogical leadership." The following directions of work are revealed: 1) organization of a project-initiative group, the main function of which is to develop a concept and model of activity of an innovation platform, determine the ways of its functioning in terms of child-adult interaction in general education; 2) the formation of a modern and safe digital educational environment, providing high quality and accessibility of general and additional education to the subjects of the educational process; 3) ensuring the professional development of the teacher in accordance with his needs and motives; 4) the development of teaching aids, programs, monographs together with university teachers; 5) the introduction of effective mechanisms for encouraging educators; 6) improving the system for assessing qualifications and the quality of the results of a teacher. The practical significance of innovative solutions in the framework of the implementation of the innovative project “Pedagogical Leadership” consists in the fact that the pedagogical community is offered specific conceptual and methodological products that ensure the formation of a new image of a leading teacher who takes an active life and professional position, has creative potential, and innovative activity skills.Discussion and Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions can be drawn. For a relatively short time of our research, we revealed positive dynamics in the studied group of teachers. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of the study. We also note that as a result of the activities of the federal innovative platform “Pedagogical Leadership”, it is planned to create a project office for the formation of pedagogical leadership in continuing education.

Abstract:

This paper takes the Daliushu Dam Site in Yellow River as an example, which is located near the active fault zone with high seismic intensity. It studies the seepage of dam abutment rock mass in meizoseismal area and the stability under earthquake condition. The assessments on the key engineering problems of this project are based upon a large number of investigations, in-situ and laboratory tests, etc., which are carried out in the field by the author. We know that the "5∙12" Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 triggered strong ruptures and damages of massif, and destructed the concrete facing of the Zipinpu rock-fill dam in Minjiang River, which is very close to the earthquake source and sufferd a 0.56g' seismic acceleration. For this reason, this paper analyzes the possible damage on the Daliushu Dam site rock mass under the grouting in the future earthquake, returning to the present poor quality condition of rock mass, while this dam shares the seismic intensity, seismic acceleration, dam type and dam height similar to the Zipinpu Project. This paper puts forward a new research thought, which is the longtime -lasting strong earthquake,first causes the rupture of rock mass and the decrease of rock mass mechani cal parameters, and the lasting earthquake will then worsen the rock mass structure mechanics parameters, and even cause the large-scale massif damage. From this viewpoint, this paper, analyzes the stability of the dam foundation and abutment rock mass especially the stability of the thin massif of the right dam abutment by the numerical analysis. The analysis show that under the normal and the earthquake conditions (excluding the rock mass damage and mechanical parameters decrese resulted from the lasting earthquake), The Daliushu Dam Site and the right dam abutment are still stable when the safety factor is assumed to be 0.802 under the lasting earthquake. In addition, the calculation results show that the stability is not enough.

Abstract:

Tree-ring widths were used to measure the relationship between climate and tree growth in the subtropical montane forest of northwestern Argentina. The comparisons between weather records and tree-ring series were made in terms of percentage of agreement, correlation, and response functions. In each of the six sites sampled, climatic variables affecting JuglansaustralisGriseb., Cedrelaangustifolia Sesse Moc, and Cedrelalilloi C. DC. were determinated. Species growing in ecologically comparable sites showed similar variations in ring widths which reflected the influences of climate. On the other hand, on sites that were ecologically different, tree growth was not synchronous, even for the same species. This study shows that dendroclimatological studies in the subtropics and growth of deciduous trees can be reliable climatological indicators.
