Recognition With Learning As a Problem of Choice

The paper highlights a problem of pattern recognition with learning as a part of a wider problem of choice. It is shown that by information basis the problem can be compared with problems of formulae classification in sentence calculus and logical diagnostics. A family of algorithms is constructed that can be used for solving any of the above-mentioned problems. It is shown that an algorithm from the family can be compared with classical ones (method of resolution, etc), and, therefore, is justified at least in the algorithmic sense

The effect of herbicides on seed productivity of Festulolium

ArticleAn artificially developed intergeneric hybrid Festulolium (+Festulolium F. Aschers, et Graebn.) is the best forage crop with high energy and protein nutrition value which can be used for green fodder when creating cultural haylands and pastures. The advantages of this crop are high regrow capacity, high content of sugars and good winter hardiness. Wide use of this new crop in fodder production is constrained, firstly, because the crop is yet new and little known and, secondly, because there is a lack of seeds due to imperfections in the production technology. There are still very few scientific studies on the biology and technology of Festulolium cultivation in the forest-steppe of the Central Chernozem Region of Russia. In our works we were the first to study the biological features of Festulolium and develop the main technological methods of growing and harvesting its seeds. The work was carried out in long-term studies of the Department of Crop Science, Forage Production and Agricultural Technologies of Voronezh State Agrarian University in 2009 2011. The soil in the experimental plot was leached medium loamy chernozem. The experiments involved the VIK-90 Festulolium variety with the preceding crop being the vetch-oat mixture harvested for green fodder. The soil preparation was conventional for seed herbage of perennial grasses in the Central Chernozem Region. The associated records and observations were made according to conventional methods adopted in the seed production of perennial grasses. A high efficiency of the Aurorex (0.55 L ha -1 ) and the Dicamba (0.15 L ha -1 ) herbicides in the suppression of annual and perennial dicotyledonous weed plants has been identified. The application of these herbicides has significantly reduced (by 40-73%) the weed infestation of seed herbage in the first year of vegetation and, as a result, has improved its structure and crop quality. The use of the developed agricultural techniques allows reducing the energy costs and receiving an average of 433 496 kg ha -1 of certified seeds

Festulolium seed production dependence on fertilizer application system

ArticleFestulolium ( × Festulolium F. Aschers. et Graebn.) is a new perennial grass Роасеае family. The benefits of this culture are good regrow capacity, increased sugars content and higher winter hardiness. It can be used as a green feed when c reating cultivated hayfields and pastures. Widespread application of this new culture for forage production is constrained by the shortage of seeds, due to the imperfection of their production technologies. There are still very few of studies on the biolog y and technology of Festulolium cultivation in the forest - steppe of the Central Chernozem Region of Russia (CCR). The experiments involved the VIC - 90 Festulolium variety with the first crop being the vetch - oat mixture harvested for green fodder. The soil in the experimental plots was leached medium thick medium loamy chernozem. The humus content in the arable horizon was 4.56%, pH was 4.9, degree of base saturatio n was 74‒86%, P 2 O 5 content was 129 mg kg - 1 , K 2 O content was 115 mg kg - 1 (according to Chirikov) and the hydrothermal index was 1.13. The experiment included the following variants: no fertilizer application (control) and application of mineral fertilizers (ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate phosphate fertilizer) at different doses. Soil preparation was conventional for seed swards of perennial grasses in the CCR. Festulolium was sown in broad drills by coverless sowing to the depth of 0.5 – 1.0 cm at the s eeding rate of 6.0 kg ha - 1 . Experiments, records, observations and determination of economic and bioenergetic efficiency were carried out according to conventional procedures. It was found that the climatic conditions in the forest steppe of the CCR were f avorable for Festulolium seed cultivation. Application of mineral nitrogen fertilizers in autumn at a dose of 60 kg ha - 1 of active ingredient (AI) ensures the formation of high yielding erect seed - producing sward, and can increase harvest energy efficiency an average by 1.45‒1.82 times and obtain 591‒620 kg ha - 1 of certified seeds. The greatest profitability of production (179%) and the highest notional farm net income (RUB 43,000 per hectare) are provided by a single application of ammonium nitrate fertili zer at a dose of 60 kg ha - 1 of active ingredient in autumn (after vegetative mass topping)

Manifestation of the electric dipole moment in the decays of τ\tau leptons produced in e+e−e^+e^- annihilation

\mbox{CP}-odd asymmetries in the processes $e^+e^-\rightarrow \tau^+\pi^-\nu_\tau$, $e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+\tau^-\bar\nu_ \tau$, $e^+e^-\rightarrow \tau^+\rho^-\nu_\tau$, and $e^+e^-\rightarrow \rho^+\tau^-\bar\nu_\tau$ are investigated with account for longitudinal polarization of electrons (or positrons). These asymmetries is a manifestation of electric dipole form factor $F_3^\tau\equiv b$ in the $\gamma\tau^+\tau^-$ vertex. It is shown that to measure \mbox{Im}\,b, polarization is not needed, and to measure \mbox{Re}\,b, the polarization is not necessary, but simplifies the measurement of \mbox{Re}\,b.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

Film agents as an effective means of reducing seed shattering in Festulolium

ArticleIn the conditions of the forest steppe of the Central Chernozem region, methods were studied to reduce shatter losses in the pre-harvesting period for Festulolium during the period 2009–2011, applying the film forming agents, Elastik (0.8–1.2 L ha-1), Bifaktor (0.8–1.2 L ha-1), and Metylan Universal Premium (1.4–3.8 kg ha-1). The agents were used at seed humidity levels of between 60–65%. Following anti-shattering treatment, seed moisture content gradually decreased. The application of film forming agents prevented seed shattering, and seeds were harvested by direct combining at a humidity of between 20–25% without heavy losses being suffered. Moreover, decreased seed losses due to film forming agents significantly reduced the cost of seed heap drying. In the control treatment, the seed yield amounted to 214.8 kg ha-1, and 360.7 kg ha-1 was lost as a result of natural seed shattering in the process of ripening. The Elastik and Bifaktor preparations prevented seed shattering and contributed to the preservation of a seed yield of between 522.1–563.5 kg ha-1. The application of film forming agents contributed to a reduction in losses during harvesting within the range of 9.7–16.8%. Application of the Metylan Universal Premium glue in the studied doses provided a significant increase of seed yield. The highest seed yield (490.1–495.2 kg ha-1) was obtained in the treatment which used a Metylan application at a dose of 3.0–3.4 kg ha-1, where seed shattering was reduced by 14.8–17.6%

Quadrupole radiation and e+e−e^+e^- pair production in the collision of nonrelativistic nuclei

We analyze the one-photon mechanism of $e^+e^-$ pair production in the collision of nonrelativistic nuclei. The contribution of electric quadrupole radiation of virtual photon to the corresponding cross section is found. The effect of the finite nuclear size is considered in detail. A comparison is made with the contribution of electric dipole radiation of virtual photon and with the contribution of the two-photon pair production mechanism. It is shown that the contribution of electric quadrupole radiation is dominant in a wide range of relative velocities. The cross section for the production of $e^+e^-$ pair with the capture of an electron by one of the nuclei is also analyzed.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figue

Quantum kinetic approach to the calculation of the Nernst effect

We show that the strong Nernst effect observed recently in amorphous superconducting films far above the critical temperature is caused by the fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. We employ the quantum kinetic approach for the derivation of the Nernst coefficient. We present here the main steps of the calculation and discuss some subtle issues that we encountered while calculating the Nernst coefficient. In particular, we demonstrate that in the limit T=0 the contribution of the magnetization ensures the vanishing of the Nernst signal in accordance with the third law of thermodynamics. We obtained a striking agreement between our theoretical calculations and the experimental data in a broad region of temperatures and magnetic fields.Comment: 24 pages, 13 figure

Search for Anomalous Top--Quark Interaction at LEP-2 Collider

We show that a search for $e^+ e^- \to t \bar q$ $(\bar q = \bar c, \bar u)$ events at LEP--2 collider provide a possibility to improve significantly the modern constraints on coupling constants of anomalous $t$--quark interaction via flavor--changing neutral currents.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, epsfig, 4 figures.
