The paper presents the results of numerical determination of water-flooding contours (or as they are called, depression curves) of a flat porous region from a source with a smooth convex boundary. Based on the Green integral formula, formulas are obtained for determining the values of the harmonic function of the fluid pressure at each point in the region. Areas with constant permeability and variable are considered. Based on the obtained integral identity, a numerical algorithm for determining filtration rates for these and other areas are constructed using the boundary element method is constructed, and depression curves are constructed for sources with a round and elliptical boundary. The eccentricities of the region's water-flooding conditions are determined. To compare the numerical and analytical results, calculations were made for the test example. You can control the accuracy of calculations by changing the number of nodes on the boundary of the simulated area.

The research was carried out in the north of forest steppe zone of Russia. The research subjects are soils under which apple trees of fruit-bearing age are located (16-24 years). Over the years of the research 50 soil cuts were laid in the apple orchards. United soil samples were formed by mixing the samples from near-stalk stripes and row-spacing. The total depth of searched cuts was 220 m. All the soil moisture capacity categories were determined by thermostat weight method: maximum water adsorption after airy dry soil condition in desiccators at air humidity close to 100%, limit field or the least soil moisture capacity after moist soil condition on the plaster casts and after free gravitational moisture coming down the profile on the flooded areas, the capillary bonding breakage humidity by multiplication of limit field soil moisture capacity and coefficient of 0.6. The total moisture stock was calculated as multiplication of soil density, layer thickness and limit field soil moisture capacity. Remote moisture stock was calculated as multiplication of soil density, layer thickness, maximum water adsorption and coefficient of 1.37. It was established that limit field soil moisture capacity significantly varies not only within one searched farm but inside soil type and soil subtype. Productive moisture stock in spring in ploughing soil layer occupied by the apple orchids of forest steppe north are described as good and represent 406-720 m3/ha (41-72 mm). Productive moisture stock in one-meter soil layer of apple orchards are assessed as very good and vary from 2993 to 4822 m3/ha (293-482 mm). According to productive moisture stock increasing in a meter layer apple orchards soils of forest steppe north can be placed in the following order: podzolic chernozem < chernozem moist meadow < grey forest < chernozem meadow < typical chernozem < leached chernozem < meadow chernozem < meadowish chernozem.

A statistical analysis of the incidence rate of various types of diseases in a population for different age groups was carried out: children (up to 14 years old inclusive), adolescents (15-17 years old), adults (18 years old and older), depending on environmental factors such as concentration of atmospheric impurities, as well as drinking water quality indicators. A dynamic autoregressive model for panel data was used to determine the quantitative dependence of the incidence rate in a population on environmental pollution factors. Panel data on population morbidity indicators, air pollution and the drinking water quality were built on the basis of official statistics for the districts of the Voronezh region and the city of Voronezh over a multi-year period. Considering that the incidence levels in the districts of the Voronezh region and in the city of Voronezh linearly depend on determining factors, linear dynamic models were constructed to describe the level of the disease classes recorded for the year, depending on the level of the corresponding disease classes for the previous year, as well as those registered for the analyzed year of concentrations of chemical impurities in the atmosphere or, accordingly, the values of drinking water quality indicators. As a result of the analysis, statistically significant quantitative dependences on the recorded factors of technogenic environmental pollution were obtained for certain classes of morbidity.

The article discusses the aspect of environmental engineering as an innovative technology for architecture and construction development of and Russia as a whole, determining directions to optimize the existing "green" standards. Innovation and greening are currently the most important trends in the development of any state economy, which cannot be achieved without the corresponding development of green certification systems aimed at ensuring sustainable growth and environmental protection. It is proved that environmental engineering issues are especially important for Russia in view of the prioritization of the innovative development vector and the actualization of the role of green innovations in architecture and construction as a prerequisite for our country to join the ranks of developed countries. Based on the evolution analysis of Russian "green" standards, factors were identified that determined the "imperfection" of their formation. Comparison of the structure and goals of existing Russian certification systems made it possible to identify their main characteristics and specifics, both contributing and leveling processes of sustainable development. Based on the research data obtained, directions for optimizing "green" standards are proposed, which implementation ensures the effective implementation of innovative environmental engineering technologies, with the latter contributing to the creation of favorable conditions for the development of the state as a whole.

The article considers the heat treating process of edible vegetable raw materials in the system "emitter - material" as the simplest case of heating and drying a homogeneous and isotropic body. It is accepted that the cooling conditions, the ambient temperature and the heat transfer coefficient in time remain constant, and there are no internal heat sources. Based on the study of the fundamental works of famous scientists in the field of food drying, the problem of determining the time constant of raw material heat treatment is solved. This parameter during heat treatment directly depends only on the physical properties of the material, the cooling process on its surface, geometric shape and body size. Knowing the values of the heating time constant, it is possible to determine the time and speed of heating the material to a given temperature.

The task of automation and increasing the efficiency of calculating the parameters of the rectifying column for the needs of chemical production is being solved. Rectification is one of the most time-consuming chemical-technological processes responsible for the separation of liquid mixtures into practically pure components, which differ in boiling points, by repeated evaporation of the liquid and vapor condensation. The possibility of separation of the liquid mixture into its constituent components by distillation is due to the fact that the composition of the vapor formed above the liquid mixture differs from the composition of the liquid mixture under the conditions of the equilibrium state of steam and liquid. To select the optimal working conditions, it is necessary to take into account the heat consumption, temperature and pressure of the heat carrier - heating steam and cooling water, as well as the necessary dimensions of the columns and connecting elements with it by heat exchangers. All these factors are interrelated and depend, in particular, on the temperature and state of aggregation of the mixture supplied for separation. When calculating the processes of rectification, the compositions of liquids are usually given in mass fractions or percent, and for practical calculation it is more convenient to use the compositions of liquids and steam, expressed in molar fractions or percent. The software being developed will automate the calculation of distillation plants, which will increase the calculation speed. In most existing installations, rectification is not clear. The resulting components of light and oil distillates do not correspond to the required fractional composition, overgrowth of fractions is observed, some of the heaviest fractions of light diesel oil products fall into the bottom of the column, into fuel oil. Therefore, much attention is paid to the study and analysis of the operation of distillation columns, improving the methods of their calculation. The software created as a result of the project will be used directly by technologists, chemists and professors.

The article considers the rationale for the adapter parameters of wheeled tractors using high-speed tillage units. Models and an algorithm for optimizing the traction-speed regime and the specific gravity of wheeled tractors for operational tillage technologies were proposed. As the basic factors of influence, we used the characteristics of the towing and coupling properties of tractors and the resistivity of serial and high-speed working machines in tillage operations, which were established based on the results of modeling and experiments. The maximum speed mode of the units was established from the condition of a minimum of energy costs attributed to the product of specific productivity and speed, and minimum with a minimum value of the ratio of specific energy consumption and productivity. The rational value of the specific gravity of the tractor for an individual operation or a group of related tillage operations in terms of energy intensity corresponds to the nominal traction and speed mode with maximum traction efficiency and nominal speed, which ensures an increase in specific energy consumption of no more than 10-12%. The specific gravity was 66-69 kg/kW for moldboard plowing by high-speed plows at 2.5 m/s (9.0 km/h), which is achieved by installing on the tractor, depending on the basic configuration, removable ballast with a specific gravity of 7-13 kg/kW. In operations of the second and third energy-intensive groups, the mass of ballast must be reduced to 0-5 kg/W. When working with serial mounted plows in the speed range of 7-9 km/h, to increase the specific gravity to 71-74 kg/kW, it is advisable to use a tractor hydraulic loader.

In 85 Holstein calves aged 2-28 days, indicators characterizing respiratory moisture loss (RML) and their association with airway inflammation were studied. Animals were evaluated by clinical scoring system WI. 66 calves had a WI clinical score of more than 3 points or less (healthy), 19-more than 3 points (sick). To study RML in animals, exhaled breath condensate was collected using a special device (patent RU 134772 U1) and its volume generated in 1 minute and from 100 L of exhaled air was measured. It was found that in healthy calves, RML is 0.030-0.124 mL per minute and 0.242-1.506 mL per 100 L of exhaled air, in sick calves they increase on average by 24.3% (P <0.01) and 50.4% (P <0.001), respectively. Thus, airway inflammation increases RML in animals. Current results show that RML intensity in calves increases markedly with increasing body temperature, WI clinical score and correlates with pulmonary ventilation.

The article discusses the rationale for a generalized indicator of the net productivity of high-speed units in zonal natural and production conditions. Models and an optimization algorithm were compiled for a generalized indicator of the net performance of mobile units for various technological purposes. The optimal value of net productivity was found from the condition of its minimum per unit product of the square of the corresponding operational productivity and coefficient of utilization of the shift time equivalent to the lowest specific energy consumption. According to the results of modeling the influence of natural and production conditions on the optimal adaptation indicator of aggregates, the following was identified: an increase in the length of the head from 200 to 1000 m is accompanied by an increase in the optimal net productivity by 2.0-2.4 times and the corresponding operational productivity by 2.4-2.8 times; a decrease in the energy intensity of the technological operation, determined by the characteristic of the resistivity of the working machine, leads to an increase in the net productivity shown with a simultaneous decrease in the utilization factor of the shift time, regardless of the rut, which determines the nature of the change in operational productivity and the width of the machine at nominal speed. They substantiated the optimal values of the generalized adaptation indicator of mobile units for a set of natural and production conditions, which are the basis of the system for the formation of requirements standards and a qualitative update of the machine and tractor fleet of the agricultural zone, taking into account the achieved level of operational technologies development and the target program for technical support of crop production.

The article analyzes the impact of air pollutants in Atyrau on public health, taking into account hygiene standards. Atyrau region is characterized by the development of oil and gas production and processing activities and is located on the coastal lowlands of the Caspian Sea. An oil refinery is located in the city, and as a result, atmospheric air is characterized by pollution of a number of chemical substances that are priority ones, such as hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, suspended solids, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide. Most of these substances affect the respiratory system. Calculation of the inhalation risk according to the results of Kazhydromet shows that even in acute and chronic exposure, the most elevated pollutants are short-term exposure to hydrogen sulfide (HQ = 7.4), suspended particles (HQ = 4) and fine particles (HQ = 7.13) for long-term exposure. The results of field studies conducted by ECOSERVICE-S LLP show that the calculation of the risk to public health during the inhalation of pollutants is characterized by increased values under acute exposure to nitrogen (IV) dioxide (HQ = 44.03051) and hydrogen sulfide (HQ = 35, 41465). The maximum risk of acute exposure during inhalation of pollutants is formed in the area of settlement point 6 - Kursai district.

The coal mining industry in Russia is developing rapidly. In this regard, the increase in emissions of coal dust into the environment leads to a serious threat to the safety and health of employees of enterprises and to deterioration of environmental situation. One of the methods in the fight against coal dust pollution is the use of dust-settling reagents. Studies for developing the composition of dust-binding mixtures, characterized by a minimum adhesion (wettability) of coal dust particles, have been conducted. The kinetics of the process of wetting dust with various dust-settling reagents has been studied. It is established that the use of solutions of sodium oleate with the addition of linseed oil is a good dust-settling reagent of natural origin. The adhesion time significantly reduces by adding linseed oil. The greatest efficiency of dust deposition was noted when interacting with a solution of sodium oleate with the addition of linseed oil with a concentration of 4 g/l, when the moisture content of dust was 60 %. The results obtained will contribute to improve the environmental and sanitary conditions of settlements located near operating coal mining enterprises and reduce the incidence of specific diseases among employees of the enterprise.

Currently, various technical devices for cleaning and sorting grain material are being developed intensively, which use new innovative technical vision devices. The use of technical vision devices makes it possible to more effectively separate the main grain from various impurities, including difficult-to-separate impurities. The development of such technical devices largely depends on the calibration of the digital vision system, and this affects the correctness and accuracy of reading the main particle sizes of grain material. Knowing the location of the intersection of the surface under study with the optical line of the camera's photo lens, it is possible to configure the camera. To set up the technical vision system, it is necessary to determine the external and internal technical characteristics of digital cameras. We have proposed a system for changing the focal position of the camera's photo lens to determine the intersection of the optical axis of the camera's lenses with the working surface of the device.

The purpose of the work was to assess the prospects of using the microbial proteinase from Bacillus pumilus for processing meat raw materials with a high content of connective tissue fibers. This proteinase has broad substrate specificity and is capable of deep hydrolysis of proteins. The effect of protease from Bacillus pumilus on meat raw materials was studied with the prospect of using in the production technology. Proteinase is very effective at the structural elements of meat raw materials, in particular water-soluble and salt-soluble protein complexes, as confirmed by spectrophotometric studies. Enzymatic treatment with proteinase from B. pumilus destructively affects cellular structures, leads to swelling and loosening of collagen fibers. The accumulation of free amino acids was recorded during processing, the degree of hydrolysis was estimated, which amounted to an average of 15-20% depending on the type of protein fraction. The positive effect of the use of proteinase to improve the functional and technological properties of raw meat was established, which resulted in an increase in its water-binding and water-holding capacity, as well as the yield of finished products after heat treatment. Based on the results of the work, it was concluded that proteinase from B. Pumilus is promising for the processing of meat raw materials with reduced functional and technological properties, which is unsuitable for the production of meat products without additional processing.

The research of the chemical kinetics of the SDRC rubber synthesis is performed under the optimal water content in the conditions of the chain transfer and cross-growth reactions. The main reactions of the butadiene polymerization mechanism on a cobalt-containing catalytic system that are a chain growth, a chain transfer to monomer, a chain transfer to polymer, spontaneous chain transfer, a chain cross growth reaction are presented. The main assumptions of the presented kinetic scheme are that active centres of one type are formed at the optimum water concentration, the total concentration of active centres is constant and equal to the initiator concentration, at the optimum water concentration the process is considered "uninterrupted" (there is no deactivation). The article presents the theoretical foundations of chemical kinetics of the SDRC rubber synthesis. The cross-growth reaction of polybutadiene macromolecules is possible only through conjugated double bonds, the number of which in the macromolecule is limited. Therefore, this reaction can carry out without gelation to large monomer conversion values. In this regard, the mechanism of the butadiene polymerization reaction on a cobalt catalyst based on the cross growth reaction of "living" macromolecules with "living" and "dead" macromolecules was also considered.

Experimental data on the dynamics of the most important agrophysical indicators of soil fertility which were obtained against the background of various fertilizer systems and predecessors in the development of degraded reclaimed lands that were withdrawn from circulation are presented. It has been shown that the rate of formation of a macrostructure that is valuable in production (0.25-10 mm) strongly depends on the amount of organic matter entering the soil in the form of high doses of all types of organic fertilizers, green manure and crop-root residues, upon decomposition of which an active humus is formed, which, when interacting with calcium, impregnates and cements the soil lumps, transforming them into a water-insoluble form. The greatest positive influence on the structural coefficient is exerted by cultivation of barley according to the organic background with the introduction of manure (40 ... 80 t / ha) or liquid runoff of livestock complexes (120 t / ha) in combination with sowing application 10 kg a.v. P2O5 and 30 kg a.m. nitrogen as a top dressing per 1 ha. It has been established that in order to improve agrophysical parameters when degraded lands are involved in agricultural production, along with the introduction of high doses of organic fertilizers, crops with a deeply penetrating, powerfully developed root system that can not only condense the arable and plow layers, reduce acidity should be sown soil, but also at the same time improve its structure.

In recent decades, in our country insufficient attention has been paid to the study of soil mechanics. Currently, there is a need to study the mechanical processes in the soil when it interacts with the working bodies of tillage machines and operating systems of mobile agricultural equipment. With existing technologies for cultivating crops, various machines pass through the field from 10 to 15 times. The tools used have a centuries-old history of development and improvement, both of individual types of working parts, and of technological tillage complexes as a whole. At the same time, the scientific basis for tillage has not yet been fully developed. The article explores soil mechanics and intensification of agriculture; saturating it with heavy machines, and increasing the energy saturation of tractors put forward new tasks that cannot be solved without the development of theoretical and applied research in the field of soil mechanics. Depending on the formulation of the tasks of the interaction of tillage organs and movers with soil, degenerate models can be used that contain only those rheological properties of the soil that define the main goal of the technological problem.

The sets of bands in the IR and UV – spectra are the same specific a characteristic of a substance, like a person's fingerprint. According to these spectra, the substance it can be identified if its vibrational spectrum is already known. In addition, by IR and UV –spectra determine the symmetry and structure of unexplored molecules. Frequencies the main vibrations found from the spectra are necessary for calculating thermodynamic properties of substances. Measuring the intensity of bands in the spectra allows you to quantitative analysis, study chemical equilibria and kinetics of chemical reactions, monitor the progress of technological processes. Nickel (II) ion forms many stable complexes. This work is devoted to the preparation and study of the stereochemistry of nickelphosphine complexes. We obtained nickelphosphine complexes NiBr2(PPh3)2; NiBr2(PCy3)2, and analysed to determine the structure. We studied the magnetic moments of solids from the following spectra in UV-visible (electronic spectra), infrared spectrum (normal range) and far infrared spectrum.

The purpose of the article was to study the effect of blue spectrum light on the nisin producer Lactobacillus lactis. It was found that photostimulation of a Lactobacillus Lactis culture with blue spectrum light (435-470 nm) with a light flux intensity of 1800 mcd for 50-60 minutes positively affects the activity of nisin (increases by 60.1%), while the titer of the Lactobacillus culture lactis is 2 times higher. At the same time, there is a slight decrease in nisin titer after 24 hours of incubation, which is explained by the peculiarities of nisin biosynthesis: nisin is less active at the beginning of biosynthesis; during the period of the exponential growth phase, an increase in the biosynthesis of nisin is noted; the greatest activity of nisin is noted at the beginning of the stationary phase; nisin synthesis is reduced in the middle of the stationary phase of the cells; self-regulation of nisin synthesis (increased nisin synthesis leads to increased competition for metabolites of the substrate and energy material, nisin molecules act as an external factor that regulates synthesis). Light treatment of the nisin producer Lactobacillus lactis increases its resistance to oxidative stress and enhances its viability. As a result of studies during storage of the Lactobacillus lactis culture in skimmed milk, the positive effect of light on the high preservation of nisin activity was proved. Thus, photostimulation of the bioproducer of nisin - Lactobacillus Lactis culture with blue light with a light flux intensity of 1800 mcd for 50-60 minutes has a positive effect on its viability and allows us to recommend the use of blue light to increase nisin production.

When combine harvesters work, about half of the engine power is spent on extracting grain from ears of grain crops. The high energy costs for extracting grain from ears are due to the need to drag straw through a threshing device, the small displacement between the drum or rotor and deck, as well as to extract grain from ears of grain crops mainly by impact. Upon impact, grain damage also occurs. Therefore, the task was to develop a combine harvester that extracts grains from the ears of grain crops by grinding. For modeling, the assumption was made that the spike fell on the deck, after which it was clamped between the working branch of the conveyor and the deck strictly perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor branch. The conveyor belt moves uniformly, and the deck oscillates. The movement of the conveyor and deck from the initial position is considered in the opposite direction. To efficiently removesingle grains from the ears, when the conveyor belt and deck are moved in opposite directions, it must rotate 360°. As a result of the simulation, the kinematic parameters of the process were detected during the opposite movement of the conveyor and deck. The following are determined: the speed of the belt of the upper conveyor, the angular speed of the drive shaft of the upper conveyor, the period of oscillation of the deck, the movement and the angle of rotation of the ear located between the working branch of the conveyor and the deck, when they are counter-moving. The simulation will then allow us to consider the movement of the ear during the movement of the conveyor and deck from the starting position and, based on the calculations, to identify the structural and kinematic parameters of the conveyor and deck.

The article presents the results of the study of structural-sorption performance and absorption properties of both raw materials and carbon sorbents obtained in the carbonization process, in terms of their ability to absorb petroleum products from water and contribute to the preservation of environmental infrastructure. Under the proposed mode of carbonization received hydrophobic sorbents. The analysis of the obtained results shows that carbon materials based on pine sawdust, obtained at a temperature of 300 °C for 8-10 minutes, have the best buoyancy – 97-100%. This can be explained by the fact that in the process of carbonization of cellulose-containing raw materials the last of the components of plant tissues decomposes lignin (active decomposition of lignin occurs in the temperature range 280-325 °C). As a result of research it is established that in the process of low-temperature one-stage carbonization of vegetable raw materials unauthorized hydrophobization of the sorbent surface is carried out. For fast and efficient collection of oil and oil products, the sorbent must have the maximum sorption rate, which will reduce the absorption time of pollutants. The highest sorption rate is shown by a mixture of pine sawdust carbonate: expanded graphite (50:50) and carbon material based on pine sawdust, which can be explained by the developed porous structure and surface chemistry of the materials.

The goal of the present work was to evaluate the possibility to improve bioleaching of Cu-Zn concentrate containing tennantite by means of using alkaline sulfide leaching (ASL). Concentrate contained 18.1% Cu, 6.2% Zn, and 1.7% As. ASL allows removing arsenic by means of destruction tennantite (Cu12As4S13) that results in the formation of dissolved thioarsenite and CuS and CuS2 in solid residues. ASL was performed under the following conditions: 95°C, pulp density 20%, residence time 6 h, NaOH concentration 3.5M, Na2S concentration 1.5M. ASL residue contained 17.8% Cu, 6.4% Zn, and 0.2% As. Bioleaching of the concentrate and ASL solid residue was performed in stirred tank reactor under the following conditions: 40°C, pulp density 10%, residence time 20 d. Cu extraction reached 21 and 37%, while Zn extraction was 38 and 47% during concentrate and ASL residue bioleaching. The results obtained demonstrated that ASL pretreatment of the concentrate containing tennantite led to significant increase in copper extraction. Therefore, two-stage leaching including ASL and bioleaching may be considered as promising approach for processing tennantite-containing products since it allows avoiding emission of toxic gases and providing comparatively high copper and zinc extraction.

The agrochernozems of the Kansk forest-steppe used for the cultivation of rapeseed and camelina were characterized by a high humus content both in the 0–20 and 0–40 cm layer. The carbon content of humus (Chumus) (Dump) and carbon of water-soluble organic matter (CH2O) had a weak spatial variability (Cv = 1.3-11.7%), the content of carbon extracted with 0.1 n alkali (C0.1 n NaOH) had an average and very high degree of spatial variability (Cv = 18.7-66.1% ) The heterogeneity of the soil cover was a factor determining the average statistical decrease in the content of stocks of all fractions of humic substances, with the exception of water-soluble carbon of humus. Fields with a pronounced meso- and microrelief and the presence of thinner types of agrochernozems are recommended for use for the cultivation of camelina, as a crop less demanding on soil conditions than rape.

The life activity of living organisms depends largely on the ecological state of their habitat. Based on the environmental monitoring of apiaries in the Tyumen region, the content of chemical elements in the soil and honey plants was studied. Based on the results of assessing the content of trace elements in the soil and plants, the soil contamination coefficient (CO) and the biological absorption coefficient (BAC) of plants were calculated. Studies have shown that the level of chemical elements in the soils and plants of apiaries in certain areas differs significantly. The reason for this is the natural and geographical conditions of these areas, as well as the proximity of anthropogenic sources of pollution. In spring, the content of the studied elements in the soil and in honey plants is higher than in summer. This is due to the fact that the soil receives pollutants that have accumulated in the snow cover during the winter due to atmospheric transport. The analysis of the obtained results showed that apiaries of Tyumen, Yarkovsky and Nizhnetavdinsky administrative districts of the Tyumen region are experiencing the greatest technogenic load. The apiaries of Berdyuzhsky and Sladkovsky districts can be considered environmentally safe. The flowers of coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara L), dandelion, woundwort (Stachus gen.) and willow herb (Epilobium avgustifolium) have a low BAC of the studied elements from honeybees.

We have investigated the early colonization of plants on the highly disturbed glaciofluvlial deposits of the Aktru valley. The modern colonization of the deposits are occurs in their middle part. It was impossible until the modern climate changes because of harsh disturbance regime which was prevented any colonization in this area by regular destruction of both plants and habitats. Now the regime is milder. 100 species from 31 family and 64 genera are participating in colonization now. The most of involved species are high-mountain ones and belong to Poaceae, Asteraceae and Salicaceae families. Most common growth forms of these plants are perennial hers and shrubs. The colonizing Larix trees are exist only as shrub growth form. The formed communities are underdeveloped and may be considered as existing on the pioneer stage of succession. The plant communities development is slow because of harsh disturbance regime thus forming of young forest similar to those in the higher part of the deposits will require a lot of time.

Based on the pyrogenic successions of Big Ushkan Island (Baikal Lake) being a part of the Zabaybalsky National Park, the changes in the vegetation on the North Baikal islands are studied. The paper presents the outcomes of the first stage of the monitoring. The general features and specificity of changes in the vegetation after the fire of 2015 on the island compared to the valley side are discovered. Fires reduce the diversity of species and increase the biodiversity of the landscape. The biomass of the field layer increases, but that of the wood layer decreases. At the initial stages of the pyrogenic successions, the species composition of the communities depends on the type of fire, the floristic composition of the pre-fire community and the biodiversity of the surrounding territories. The island and the continent feature different paces of the succession processes.

Taking into account the complexity and duration of creating the optimal shape of the flow part of the intake system, it is advisable to use mathematical models in its design and modernization. This not only reduces the cost and speeds up the creation of an optimal air path, but also provides conditions for automating the design process. The calculated determination of the flow coefficient using modern methods allows you to significantly reduce the amount of experimental research and solve the main problems by choosing the optimal combination of structural elements of the intake channels at the design and finishing stage of the engine. A method is proposed for calculating the flow rate through the intake system of an internal combustion engine (ICE) depending on the design features of the intake system elements: the flow resistance coefficient, the average speed of the piston, the cross-section area of the cylinder, the average effective flow of the valve slot, the number of valves, the value of the valve lift, the diameter of the neck. The influence of total losses from gas dynamic resistance is estimated.

Currently, the population of cities is in constant acoustic discomfort, both in production and transport, and in everyday life. Noise sources in cities are diverse. The reason for noise in cities can be mechanical engineering, light and construction industries, while the main source of noise is transport. Its share is 70-80% of the total background noise transmitted through the atmosphere. On major highways, the noise level is 85-92 dB with a maximum sound pressure in the frequency range of 400-800 Hz. In an industrial city, a high percentage of freight transport on highways is common. An increase in the total traffic flow of trucks, especially heavy trucks with diesel engines, leads to an increase in noise levels. Therefore, the development of methods to reduce the noise impact of various man-made sources on the environment of urban areas has become urgent. According to the developed method, you can determine the noise level near the city's roads.

In the South Trans-Urals, the Satyridae family is represented by 24 species, including P. afra and E. medusa, the species listed among the endangered species of Kurgan Oblast. Among the Satyridae inhabiting the region, C. tullia is the only species found in the Holarctic habitat; the rest belong to the Palearctic butterflies. In the region, the majority of the species spend the winter as a larva; two species live through the winter as a pupa. For three species, C. hero, P. afra, and C. persephone, the winter stage has not been found. By the trophic specialization of the larvae, the Satyridae are represented by broadly oligophagous and broadly polyphagous larvae. Based on the emergence timing, the imagoes of the Satyridae living in the South Trans Urals can be divided into three phenological groups: early summer (6 species), summer (15 species) and late summer (1 species). Generally, the Satyridae fauna of the region can be referred to as inhabitant in the forest-steppe area. By the landscape and biotopic allocation, the Satyridae of the region can be conventionally divided into four ecological groups: the inhabitants of the pine and small-leaved forests, the inhabitants of the forest-outlier and meadow landscape, inhabitants of the steppe-heaths and eurybionts. The greatest diversity of the species was found in the open space fauna (clearcuts and forest openings) of the pine and small-leaved forests. The similarity of the species composition of the Satyridae inhabitant in the forest-outlier and steppe landscapes constitutes 53%. This is explained, first of all, by the abundance of the Poaceae being the fodder plans of the caterpillars for the majority of the species.

Currently, the search for alternative renewable fuels for internal combustion engines is becoming strategic. At the same time, it is necessary to work on adapting and improving the design of power transport units, conduct research on optimizing the composition of fuels, their quality and safety, and improve the combustion process of fuels in the cylinder. Vegetable oil-based fuels and alcohol-based fuels are well established and widely distributed. Their valuable property is that when burned, they are less prone to the formation of toxic components and carcinogens. The purpose of this work was to analyze the characteristics of the diesel engine and the combustion process when working on ethanol and rapeseed oil when changing the ratio of cyclic feeds. At the same time, diesel fuel was not used and alcohol fuel was injected into the combustion chamber by a separate injector and ignited with a flame from the rapeseed oil. A 2F10,5/12,0 tractor diesel was upgraded to run on alternative fuels. The article presents the effective characteristics, indicator diagrams, the functions of heat dissipation and the average gas temperature at various portions of the rapeseed oil. The optimal relations portions of the fuels (ethanol and rapeseed oil) is established and justified.

Typically, in the technological processes of agricultural production, machines and equipment are used, where self-loading containers, bunkers, operating on the principle of natural gravitational leakage of friable, grain materials are used for transportation or overload of bulk materials. But the use of such components is justified only for use in the process of harvesting maize ears in the swaths and provided that the start is fed to the collecting hopper of the combine harvester, and after filling it is overloaded in the technological transport by the principle of "dump truck". When trying to go beyond these limitations to increase transportation or overload of bulk materials, there are objective difficulties that arise from the freezing and sticking of the bulk material in the absence of the gravitational leakage phenomenon. As part of the study described in this article, an analytical description of overcoming these difficulties is proposed. It is based on the fact that the analytical equations of motion of a grain mixture, such as quasi-liquids, allow taking into account the bunker's turn around the fastening axis during unloading of the grain mixture. This analytical approach allows us to further substantiate the kinematic parameters of self-propelled bunkers of harvesting machines. The mode of the technological process of unloading the dump of the hopper with grain material with a minimum unloading time is analyzed. This means that the obtained scientific result in the form of the equation of motion of a grain mixture, as quasi-liquids, on a sloping plane is interesting from the theoretical point of view. From the practical point of view, the analytical equations of motion of the grain mixture, such as quasi-liquids, allow us to determine the conditions of use of combine harvesters in the technology of plant production. Thus, the applied aspect of using the obtained scientific result is the possibility of improving the typical technological process of harvesting agricultural crops. This is a prerequisite for the transfer of technological solutions to agro-industrial production.

NOx can be formed in the incineration chamber within high-temperature oxidation of azote in the air, as a result of low-temperature oxidation of azote-containing ignitable compounds, due to the collision of hydrocarbon radicals with azote molecules in the incineration reaction zone in the presence of temperature fluctuations. To analyze the education of NOx in the topper of inland incineration CI engine, attempts have been made to apply a bimolecular mechanism. In some cases, using the indicated mechanism, a fairly good agreement was obtained between the experimental and calculated cluster of NOx. The data obtained on variations in the indexes of the massive cluster of NOx within the operation of a CI engine on methyl hydroxide are presented in this article. The readings were taken experimentally on a two-topper CI engine at various plant corners for determining ignitable shot.

At present, the use of renewable alternative fuels of non-petroleum origin has become a challenge. Primarily, this is due to the fact that oil resources are gradually being depleted, and their cost is growing proportionally every year. Switching to renewable fuels will reduce air pollution and ensure independence from crude oil. The article presented describes the results of bench tests of an air-cooled diesel engine 2F 10.5/12.0 running on methyl alcohol and methyl ether of rapeseed oil. Herewith, a dual fuel supply system was used. That allowed ensuring synchronous fuel feeding into the engine cylinder. The article also presents diagrams of indicator pressure, heat release and roughness of the combustion process of a diesel engine running on alternative fuels, depending on the change in the crankshaft speed. Along with this, positive environmental effects were also revealed in terms of the amount of toxic agents in the exhaust gases of a tractor diesel engine. Thus, there is a significant reduction in nitrogen oxides (by 47.4%) as compared to the diesel process, and the soot content in the exhaust gases has decreased by 10.42 times.

Recently, the problem of expanding the raw material base of automobile fuels and at the same time reducing their negative impact on the environment through the use of non-traditional or alternative fuels has become acute. Among them, compressed natural gas and alcohols are most popular in road transport. Vyatka agricultural Academy continues to study the impact of alcohol consumption in diesels when they are fed using a dual fuel supply system. Despite the fact that the ignition delay period takes up a small fraction of the operating cycle and in diesels is only a few milliseconds, the value of this parameter in providing the required efficient and environmentally friendly characteristics of piston engines is huge. The calculation of the ignition delay period when working on alternative fuels is particularly relevant. The article presents a method for calculating the ignition delay period when working on alcohol.

Based on the research work on the use of various alcohols as an alternative motor fuel for various internal combustion engines, a number of conclusions were drawn on the stages of formation of the main combustion products. This article presents a part of theoretical studies when using methyl alcohol in the form of a fuel emulsion as an alternative motor fuel. One of the most dangerous toxic components of liquid fuel combustion products is soot. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to reduce its content. To do this, you need to know the methods and stages of soot formation, which affect the final concentration by weight. The most important task can be called the determination of the prevailing mechanisms of the appearance of soot in the combustion of liquid fuels in the cylinders of engines. A variable zonal model of soot formation in a 4 H 11.0 / 12.5 high-speed diesel engine is presented when working on an alternative emulsified alcohol fuel - methanol-fuel emulsion. The stages of the formation of carbon particles during the oxidation of fuel inside the cylinder are considered.

It was found that when switching to gas engine fuel, the installation angle of the fuel injection advance can be maintained at the level of basic modification, which makes the conversion process technically simple from the point of view of operation. The values of the parameters characterizing the combustion process when converted to natural gas are within acceptable limits, and a number of parameters even improve their value.

The study showed the cytocompatibility, matrix, and osteoinductive properties of collagen-fibronectin hydrogel impregnated with rhBMP-2. After 7 days of MSCs incubated with osteoplastic material the cell viability was 93.4 ± 3.6%. Expression of osteoblast-related genes after 14 days was increased by 1.4-4.8 times. Furthermore alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium ion quantity in cell lysates were increased by 2 and 2.7 times. It was accompanied by extracellular matrix mineralization. The results indicate that rhBMP-2 fully retains its activity inside the collagen-based material. The use of rhBMP-2 at a concentration of 1 μg/ml was ineffective and unable to induce osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. An effective osteoinductive concentration of rhBMP-2 was determined as 10 μg/ml.

It should be noted that the harmful substances emitted by manufacturing enterprises are concentrated over a huge radius in a certain area, and the EG of automobiles are distributed throughout the territory of the settlement. At the same time, cars pollute the atmosphere with hydrocarbons and NOx by 30%, carbon oxides by 90%. Under adverse conditions, toxic mists are formed in the surface layers of the atmosphere, the so-called smogs, which contain toxic components of EG - hydrocarbons and NOx. There are over 100 different components in the EG of automobile motors, most of which are toxic. The approximate composition of the EG of gasoline and CI motors. The reason for the formation of hydrocarbons CH is the heterogeneity of the composition of the combustible mixture in the combustion chamber of the motor, as well as the unevenness of temperature and pressure in its various parts. In some combustion zones, the fuel practically does not burn out, as the chain reaction of hydrocarbon oxidation breaks.

In the course of burning, the processes of gas movement intensively occur in the cylinder, which contribute to heat transfer to the cylinder walls. A diesel engine has different heat dissipation conditions than a gas engine. Due to the higher compression ratio, the temperature of the gases leaving the cylinder is much lower. The temperature of the gases in the cylinder in the course of burning reaches 2000-2300 °C. Using methyl hydroxide and changing the installing angles of advancing fuel injection there is a tendency to change the temperature of the cycle in the cylinder of the diesel engine. Starting from a certain position of the piston in the course of the compression stroke, the air temperature becomes higher than the wall temperatures, and the heat flux changes direction, i.e., heat is transferred from the air to the cylinder walls.

The paper presents the results of bench tests of a four-cylinder diesel engine D-245.12C, in which the indicators of fuel combustion in the engine cylinder and the processes characterizing the heat release in this case were studied. The studies were carried out in a comparative way, since we were interested in how these indicators would change when the engine was converted to a new type of fuel. The entire range of engine load changes is considered - from minimum to maximum, the necessary calculations are carried out, recommendations are given on adjusting and loading modes that allow introducing the proposed type of fuel and the engines running on it into production. Two values of the rotational speed of the crankshaft were taken as the calculated ones: the frequency corresponding to the nominal rotation frequency and the rotation frequency corresponding to the maximum torque mode, 2400 and 1900 rpm, respectively. The results are shown in graphical form and allow you to evaluate the change in the main parameters depending on the change in load.

The use of alcohols as motor fuel is very important both for saving fuel oil and for reducing the environmental burden. One of the most promising alcohol fuels for the internal combustion engine is methanol. Its production is possible from almost any raw material containing carbon, but the largest amount of methanol is produced in Russia from natural gas. There is an extensive raw material available for the production of methanol, and its cost is low compared to other alternative fuels. In addition, methanol can solve the problem of reducing the main, most toxic components of exhaust gases, nitrogen oxides and soot. Vyatka agricultural Academy continues to study the effect of alcohol consumption on diesel engines when they are fed with methanol using various methods. The article presents the features of using alcohol when it is used with the supply of an experimental portion of diesel fuel.

Nanogenerator Technology is gaining more and more popularity among the scientist society. The triboelectric nanogenerators in particular already are used in different industries. The aim of the work was to see the achievements in the field, and what the state of art of triboelectric technology can offer to solve some of the problems agriculture industry is facing today. A way to implement the technology to a greenhouse was introduced in the work, to reduce the cost for the usage of LED lighting in the greenhouse. It was calculated that triboelectric nanogenerator system that is a kilometre long and a metre wide can potentialy support LED lighting in a greenhouse with an actual area of coverage of more than 650 hectares. The actual numbers are expected to be very different since there are no evidences of the technology being implemented at this stage of its development into the agriculture as a LED energy source. The system was suggested to be made near a busy motor way to convert the kinetic energy of the cars into the electrical power. The system is expected to have many advantages over the conventional electromagnetic power generating system, but due to obvious disadvantages of the dependence of the energy generated on the traffic, the technology is suggested best to be used in combination with electricity from public network.

Soybean in the Amur Region occupies up to 30% of its area in Russia. With a high content of protein and oil, it is an energy-efficient crop, and its processed products are widely used in the food industry and animal husbandry. An increase in soybean production is planned by improving the structure of sown areas, introducing new varieties, and intensifying crop production. It is possible to increase its productivity through the use of high-quality and most productive seeds that can be isolated, separately collected in a combine harvester during harvesting and used without seeds after harvesting. For this, it is necessary to use combines of two-phase threshing, with the separation of threshed mass by the first threshing drum, cleaning and collecting this mass in an additional hopper. To avoid pinching and damage during transportation, it is necessary to use screws with a brush frame for the working edge of the screw and brush conveyor belts. The selected soybean seeds of the first fraction for all sowing quality indicators correspond to the second class of the state standard, and their laboratory and field germination, 96 and 91.5%, corresponds to the seeds of the first class. The use of the first seed fraction during sowing, without additional purification, reduces material costs, increases soybean yield by 3.0 kg / ha and increases profit.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of oil pollution on the transformation of algocenoses of water-ground ecotone. The species composition, abundance, occurrence of cyanobacteria and algae in water-ground ecotone under the influence of oil pollution has been studied. A comparison of the algoflora of different ecotone sites was made taking into account the nature of the higher plants. Sixty-five taxa of algae were identified with a rank below the genus belonging to the 4th divisions. The division dominant in the number of species is Bacillariophyta (37%), Cyanoprokaryota (Cyanophyta) (31%), Chlorophyta (27%), Xanthophyta (5%). The leading families were Pseudanabaenaceae, Phormidiaceae, Cocconeidaceae. Among the genera, the genus Leptolyngbya is in first place. The littoral zone of the lake was dominated by diatomic algae. A wide range of species of cyanobacteria and green algae were observed in soil samples, leading families and genera by species occurrence were members of the families Nostocaceae, Pseudanabaenaceae. Environmental analysis has shown that hydrophilic and edadophilic species belonging to P-, Ch-, CF-, C and B-life forms play a significant role in the formation of soil algae communities. The nature of the higher plants is less than oil pollution determines the composition of the algoflora. With the emergence of oil contamination in the ecotone, the number of cyanobacteria and algae, the survival rate of soil algae and, to a lesser extent, benthic species is reduced.

The study concerns the problem of analyzing the quality of ambient air in the Russian Federation over the past twenty years and determining the causes that influence its change. It is shown that the air quality in urban and rural settlements improves, despite the absence of sustainable positive dynamics in reducing gross emissions of stationary and mobile sources. To explain this phenomenon, it has been suggested that as a result of the spatial redistribution of the location of the emissions sources, residential, recreational and other standardized zones, the sources of exposure to atmospheric air are removed from the places of population. The main substances that affect the atmospheric air quality in the Russian Federation are benzo(a)pyrene, ethylbenzene, carbon, suspended solids, hydrogen fluoride, mercury, hydroxybenzene, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and acrolein. The study showed that atmospheric pollution with benzo(a)pyrene decreased 3.14 times, with suspended solids 9.36 times, with carbon monoxide 9.28 times, and with hydroxybenzene 8.74 times. There was a reduction in exposure of carbon monoxide emissions (by 1.236 million tons, VOCs (by 580 thousand tons) and nitrogen oxides (by 297 thousand tons). The quality of ambient air and its change in the Russian Federation was influenced by a number of natural and anthropogenic factors such as adverse weather conditions for dispersion of impurities in the atmosphere, forest fires, industrial accidents and disasters, implementation of planning decisions on the territory of urban and rural settlements, allowing to place emission sources into the ambient air at the necessary distance from residential areas, and to implement the principle of distance protection and etc.

Existing and currently being upgraded simplified models of the internal combustion engine workflow have very limited capabilities in terms of describing the fuel combustion process. Gorenje it is known that the most important means of studying the combustion in diesel fuel is the analysis of the indicator diagram for heat release. By analyzing the shape of the indicator chart, you can get information about the process of heat release during fuel combustion. The heat release characteristic is a function of the amount of heat released in the cylinder, from the angle of rotation of the crankshaft or time. The heat release characteristics are expressed in different ways: as a dependency of the absolute amount of heat from the current corner p.c.v., the integrated characteristic or the so-called dependence of heat release rate — differential characteristic. In most cases, the characteristics of relative heat release are used, rather than absolute. Vyatka agricultural Academy continues to study the impact of alcohol consumption in diesel engines when they are fed using a dual fuel supply system. The article presents the effect of methanol consumption on the characteristics of heat release.

The paper presents the results of a comparative study of the effects of three light source types on micropropagation efficiency of Berlin poplar (Populus berolinensis). As a model explant type for regeneration root segments were used. Three types of light sources were compared: fluorescent cool white light lamps LED-based purple (red+blue) light phyto lamps and LED-based neutral white light phyto lamps. The poplar regeneration was more effective under fluorescent lamp illumination treatment then at both types of LED phyto lamps. Among two studied LED light sources, the best result was obtained for white light lamps. The quantity and size of regenerants obtained under LED white light lamps illumination were comparable with those got under fluorescence lamps. The least regeneration efficiency was observed under the purple light LED lamps illumination with a limited spectrum range of emitted light. Nevertheless, in case of discontinuation of fluorescent lamps due to the policy of efficient energy consumption and environment protection optimized LED phyto lamps illumination has prospects in micropropagation of plants.

The article considers the complex composts role from the wastewater residues and beer pellets on the Esenia fetida vermiculture growth dynamics in closed ground conditions as the Yugra territory sustainable development regional aspect. The substrates used: the soil with a total humus content of 1.83 ± 0.51%, the wastewater residues, the brewer pellet, the plants, the food waste, the paper, the bird droppings, the Tamir microbiological preparation, as well as 50 immature worms, the hybrid Prospector. The experiment lasted 30 days. In each compost variant, there were 7 replicates with the MP and worms, as well as 2 controls without worms: with MP and without it. The complex composts showed a positive trend in the increase in the earthworms number and their total mass. The decrease in the substrate mass after vermicomposting using the Tamir microbiological preparation was observed in all variants. A statistically regular decrease in the substrate mass over time due to the growth of the worms was found. The optimum temperature for the worm's development is +21 degrees, and the pH values at which a high worms number were observed are in the range from 7.8 to 8.2. Thus, it is possible to use all the complex composts variants. The decomposition process and the growth of the worms positive dynamics were observed everywhere at different rates. The beer pellets use in the raw state is possible when adding 10-25% of the compostable substrate total mass with the organic components that have sorption capacity.
