All rights reserved.In the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia) the issues of import substitution and providing the population with food are largely resolved. Agri-farms of Tatarstan have a positive dynamics of development and stably take its place among the first four constituents of the Russian Federation. Having cultivated 2.3% of agricultural lands in Russia, Tatarstan provides 4.7% of agricultural production, in the amount of 188.8 billion rubles. Agricultural business becomes profitable, and begins to entice such a great investors as “Krasny Vostok Agro”, “Kulonstroy”, “Zolotoy Kolos”, “Tatfondbank”, “Agrosila Group”, et al., who invest multi billions of dollars. So, just “Krasny Vostok Agro”, taking a responsibility for 56 thousand of peoples, living in 124 settlements of Alekseevsky, Alkeevsky, Verkhneuslonsky, Zelenodolsky, Nurlatsky and Spassky Districts, managed in a short time, radically change the actual position of affairs. During the implementation of the national project, the results of its activities became the following: tripling of the meat production, tenfold increase of milk production, which made it possible to provide all working population with paying job. The Republic is gradually resolved the questions about supporting of young specialists in agriculture. New houses are built for them in accordance with the federal programs. The aim is to bring the level of country people income to the level of industrial workers. Despite the gained progress, the agricultural sector has many unsolved problems. One of them is the production of vegetable oil. According to specialists’ calculations, each year our republic is required 47520 tons of vegetable oil (about 800 wagons with carrying capacity of 60 tons), not including the consumption of mayonnaise, margarine and other products. Taking into account the needs of domestic and foreign markets, it is necessary to increase the cultivated areas of spring rape (main cold-resistant oilseed of Tatarstan) at least up to 200 thousand hectares and to bring gross output of oilseeds to 200-250 thousand tons per year, yielding per every hectare 20-25 quintals of commercial products, instead of 10-12 quintals at this time. One of the reasons of low output of spring rape is the failure in optimal timing of crops treatment against numerous pests (more than 80 species of blasters can occupy this culture, and ruined all the crops during 8-10 days), and chemical weeding due to the lack of timely information. In this regard, the definition of the current situation on the crops of the researched object, the methodology of which is presented in this Article, the assessment and forecasting of its productivity on the basis of space imagery data is the actual problem of modern agro-industrial complex, not only of the Republic of Tatarstan, but the Russian Federation in whole [1, 2]

Mechanical activation influence on the morphological properties of La[2]O[3]-TiO[2]-B

The influence of mechanical activation of the powder mixture used to obtain the high-perfomance cathode for accelerating engineering with the SHS-method has been explored. The mechanically processed mixtures have been morphologically analyzed. The optimal modes of mechanical activation have been determined for the mixture

New Measurements of Nucleon Structure Functions from the CCFR/NuTeV Collaboration

We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3nu-xF_3nubar from CCFR neutrino-Fe and antineutrino-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement for Delta xF_3, which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. The F_2 (PMI) values measured in neutrino and muon scattering are in good agreement with the predictions of Next to Leading Order PDFs (using massive charm production schemes), thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data.Comment: 5 pages.

Experimental search for the LSND anomaly with the ICARUS detector in the CNGS neutrino beam

We report an early result from the ICARUS experiment on the search for nu_mu to nu_e signal due to the LSND anomaly. The search was performed with the ICARUS T600 detector located at the Gran Sasso Laboratory, receiving CNGS neutrinos from CERN at an average energy of about 20 GeV, after a flight path of about 730 km. The LSND anomaly would manifest as an excess of nu_e events, characterized by a fast energy oscillation averaging approximately to sin^2(1.27 Dm^2_new L/ E_nu) = 1/2. The present analysis is based on 1091 neutrino events, which are about 50% of the ICARUS data collected in 2010-2011. Two clear nu_e events have been found, compared with the expectation of 3.7 +/- 0.6 events from conventional sources. Within the range of our observations, this result is compatible with the absence of a LSND anomaly. At 90% and 99% confidence levels the limits of 3.4 and 7.3 events corresponding to oscillation probabilities of 5.4 10^-3 and 1.1 10^-2 are set respectively. The result strongly limits the window of open options for the LSND anomaly to a narrow region around (Dm^2, sin^2(2 theta))_new = (0.5 eV^2, 0.005), where there is an overall agreement (90% CL) between the present ICARUS limit, the published limits of KARMEN and the published positive signals of LSND and MiniBooNE Collaborations.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure

The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement for Delta xF_3, which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. Within 5% the F_2 (PMI) values measured in neutrino and muon scattering are in agreement with the predictions of Next-to-Leading-Order PDFs (using massive charm production schemes), thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two measurements.Comment: 3 pages, Presented by Arie Bodek at DPF2000 Conference, Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 200
