Effect of seed inoculation and foliar fertilizing on structure of soybean yield and yield structure in Western Polissya of Ukraine

Growing soybeans requires adjustment of micronutrient nutrition on poorly fertile soils. Foliar fertilization can overcome the deficiency of micronutrients in plants in the most important period. Three factorial field experiment to study foliar fertilization with complex micronutrients, seed inoculation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum in two soybean varieties (Kassidy and ES Mentor) was conducted. Foliar fertilization with Quantum oil and WUXAL Oilseed significantly increased certain elements in soybean yield structure. Fertilizer WUXAL Oilseed with a higher concentration of Mo, Mn and B more effectively increased the number of pods and seeds from the plant and formed a higher yield in soybeans. Foliar fertilization with WUXAL Oilseed and Quantum oil increased seed yield to 3.00 t ha-1 and 2.94 t ha-1 , respectively in regard to variant without fertilizing, where yield was 2.71 t ha-1 . Variety Kassidy had greater number of pods and seeds, seed weight in comparison to foliar fertilizing ES Mentor. Seed inoculation gaves a stable increase in yield under different foliar fertilizations in varieties Kassidy and ES Mentor

The role of digital consciousness in change management

The article deals with the problems of change management in the new conditions of superfragility of the BANI-world. Interpretations of the concepts of “transcendental thinking”, “digital consciousness”, “immersiveness” are given. The prerequisites substantiating the idea that transcendental thinking needs to be cultivated in the organisation in order to achieve effective management flexibility are presented. The latter is formed in the broader context of the digital consciousness organisational culture, without which it is impossible to set up the organisation’s staff for a positive perception of immersive management practices and the digital technologies productive use. Barriers to the transformation of organisational processes have been identified. It has been shown that the digital transformation of the organisation increases the resistance on the part of the staff by digital resistance plane, when aversion to any change correlates with a lack of ­understanding of digital opportunities. The relationship between the conceptual methodologies of digital consciousness and metacognition and the effectiveness of the formation of a change management strategy has been established

Digital consciousness as a factor of human capital formation in integration processes

The article studies problems of reintegration of social spaces in the conditions of new reality. The concepts of “reintegration”, “digital consciousness” and “human capital” have been interpreted. The concept of reintegration process based on the multiplicative effct of resulting sum of cognitive, axiological, and organizational vectors of social space reassembly on the basis of public support for its digital transformation has been presented. The paper presents assumptions justifying the idea that achieving effctive reintegration is primarily associated with economic development of a territory so it is necessary to form human capital on the basis of digital consciousness. In the modern world, digital consciousness is becoming a dominant cognitive factor as digital technologies are increasingly penetrating our lives and changing the way people interact. However, developing digital consciousness requires continuous learning and skill development. It can be achieved through professional training, self-education, and participation in projects related to digital transformation. Thus, digital consciousness can be considered as a factor ofhuman capital growth that can help people adapt to changing labor market conditions and work successfully in digital economy

Advanced Modeling of Cold Crucible Induction Melting for Process Control and Optimization

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” (ETU) have collaborated on development and validation of an advanced numerical model of the cold crucible induction melting (CCIM) process. This work was conducted in support of the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management Technology and Engineering (EM-20) International Program. The model predicts quasi-steady state temperature distributions, convection cell configurations, and flow field velocities for a fully established melt of low conductivity non-magnetic materials at high frequency operations. The INL/ETU ANSYS© finite element model is unique in that it has been developed specifically for processing borosilicate glass (BSG) and other glass melts. Specifically, it accounts for the temperature dependency of key material properties, some of which change by orders of magnitude within the temperature ranges experienced (temperature differences of 500oC are common) in CCIM processing of glass, including density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and electrical resistivity. These values, and their responses to temperature changes, are keys to understanding the melt characteristics. Because the model has been validated, it provides the capability to conduct parametric studies to understand operational sensitivities and geometry effects. Additionally, the model can be used to indirectly determine difficult to measure material properties at higher temperatures such as resistivity, thermal conductivity and emissivity. The model can also be used to optimize system design and to predict operational behavior for specific materials and system configurations, allowing automated feedback control. This becomes particularly important when designing melter systems for full-scale industrial applications

The soft and the hard pomerons in hadron elastic scattering at small t

We consider simple-pole descriptions of soft elastic scattering for pp, pbar p, pi+ p, pi- p, K+ p and K- p. We work at t and s small enough for rescatterings to be neglected, and allow for the presence of a hard pomeron. After building and discussing an exhaustive dataset, we show that simple poles provide an excellent description of the data in the region - 0.5 GeV^2 < t < -0.1 GeV^2, 6 GeV<sqrt(s)< 63 GeV. We show that new form factors have to be used, and get information on the trajectories of the soft and hard pomerons.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures, LaTeX. A few typos fixed, and references correcte

Phase diagram of superfluid 3He in "nematically ordered" aerogel

Results of experiments with liquid 3He immersed in a new type of aerogel are described. This aerogel consists of Al2O3 strands which are nearly parallel to each other, so we call it as a "nematically ordered" aerogel. At all used pressures a superfluid transition was observed and a superfluid phase diagram was measured. Possible structures of the observed superfluid phases are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Pis'ma v ZhETF (JETP Letters

Исследование СВЧ-свойств активной колебательной системы на основе ферритовой линии задержки

The complex transmission coefficient of the active ring resonators based on the spin-wave delay lines was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Influence of the parameters of the delay line on the transmission coefficients was studied and analyzed. It was shown that the resonant frequencies that define the passbands of the ring resonator depend on the ferrite film thickness and the distance between spin-wave antennae. These dependences give possibility to reconfigure the transmission coefficient that in combination with magnetic tuning provide flexibility for microwave applications.Теоретически описан комплексный коэффициент передачи активной колебательной системы на основе ферритовой линии задержки. Экспериментально получены передаточные характеристики и проведено сравнение с теоретическими результатами. Рассмотрено влияние параметров линии задержки на передаточные характеристики активной колебательной системы. Показано, что резонансные частоты, определяющие положение полос пропускания, зависят от толщины ферритовой пленки и расстояния между спин-волновыми антеннами. Эти зависимости дают возможность реконфигурации передаточной характеристики, что вместе с магнитным управлением обеспечивает гибкость применения на СВЧ
