Priorities for energy efficiency measures in agriculture.

This report provides a compilation of energy efficiency measures in agriculture, their opportunities and constraints to implement energy efficient agricultural systems across Europe as a result of the AGREE (Agriculture & Energy Efficiency) Coordination and Support Action funded by the 7th research framework of the EU (www.agree.aua.gr). The report dwells on earlier reports of the consortium, which listed potential energy efficiency measures (Project Deliverable 2.3: Energy Saving Measures in Agriculture – Overview on the Basis of National Reports) and identified trade-offs and win-win situations of various energy efficiency measures in agriculture (Project Deliverable 3.1: Economic and environmental analysis of energy efficiency measures in agriculture). It shows research gaps in crop production, greenhouse production, animal husbandry and system approaches, which can be regarded as priorities for energy efficiency measures in agriculture. The report is na important input for the strategic research agenda, which is one of the main outputs of the AGREE project

ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ЭЭГ-БИОУПРАВЛЕНИЯ ДЛЯ КОРРЕКЦИИ ПСИХОЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНОГО СОСТОЯНИЯ ДЕТЕЙ

Evaluated the efficacy of neurofeedbacktherapy to normalize the psychoemotional state of children. Trained parameters of EEG were the amplitude of alpha-rhythm, the ratio of amplitudes of alphaand theta-rhythms, sensorimotor and theta-rhythms. In the experimental group showed an increase in the trained parameters of the electroencephalogram, reduced anxiety, “feelings of inferiority” and improvement of voluntary attention. The results indicate the feasibility of neurofeedbacktherapy to optimize the psychoemotional state of children.Оценивали эффективность нейротерапии для нормализации психоэмоционального состояния детей. Тренируемыми параметрами электроэнцефалограммы являлись амплитуда альфа-ритма, отношение амплитуд альфаи тета-ритмов, сенсомоторного и тета-ритмов. В экспериментальной группе наблюдалось увеличение тренируемых параметров электроэнцефалограммы, снижение тревожности, чувства неполноценности и улучшение показателей произвольного внимания. Результаты свидетельствуют о целесообразности применения нейротерапии для оптимизации психоэмоционального состояния детей

APPLICATION OF EEG FEEDBACK FOR THE CORRECTION OF PSYCHOEMOTIONAL STATE OF CHILDREN

Al2O3 co-doped with Cr3+ and Mn4+, a dual-emitter probe for multimodal non-contact luminescence thermometry

Luminescence probes that facilitate multimodal non-contact measurements of temperature are of particular interest due to the possibility of cross-referencing results across different readout techniques. This intrinsic referencing is an essential addition that enhances accuracy and reliability of the technique. A further enhancement of sensor performance can be achieved by using two luminescent ions acting as independent emitters, thereby adding in-built redundancy to non-contact temperature sensing, using a single readout technique. In this study we combine both approaches by engineering a material with two luminescent ions that can be independently probed through different readout modes of non-contact temperature sensing. The approach was tested using Al2O3 co-doped with Cr3+ and Mn4+, exhibiting sharp emission lines due to 2E → 4A2 transitions. The temperature sensing performance was examined by measuring three characteristics: temperature-induced changes of the intensity ratio of the emission lines, their spectral position, and the luminescence decay time constant. The processes responsible for the changes with temperature of the measured luminescence characteristics are discussed in terms of relevant models. By comparing temperature resolutions achievable by different modes of temperature sensing it is established that in Al2O3-Cr,Mn spectroscopic methods provide the best measurement accuracy over a broad temperature range. A temperature resolution better than ±2.8 K can be achieved by monitoring the luminescence intensity ratio (40–145 K) and the spectral shift of the R-line of Mn4+ (145–300 K range)
