Atmosphere-Ionosphere Response to the M9 Tohoku Earthquake Revealed by Joined Satellite and Ground Observations. Preliminary results

The recent M9 Tohoku Japan earthquake of March 11, 2011 was the largest recorded earthquake ever to hit this nation. We retrospectively analyzed the temporal and spatial variations of four different physical parameters - outgoing long wave radiation (OLR), GPS/TEC, Low-Earth orbit tomography and critical frequency foF2. These changes characterize the state of the atmosphere and ionosphere several days before the onset of this earthquake. Our first results show that on March 8th a rapid increase of emitted infrared radiation was observed from the satellite data and an anomaly developed near the epicenter. The GPS/TEC data indicate an increase and variation in electron density reaching a maximum value on March 8. Starting on this day in the lower ionospheric there was also confirmed an abnormal TEC variation over the epicenter. From March 3-11 a large increase in electron concentration was recorded at all four Japanese ground based ionosondes, which return to normal after the main earthquake. We found a positive correlation between the atmospheric and ionospheric anomalies and the Tohoku earthquake. This study may lead to a better understanding of the response of the atmosphere /ionosphere to the Great Tohoku earthquakeComment: Preliminary results reported at EGU 2011 in Vienna, Austri

Promising Breeding Material from Triticum Turgidum L.

Turgid wheat is distinguished by a large multi-grain ear. Therefore, the involvement of its varieties in the selection process to increase the productivity of winter durum wheat is very promising. This paper shows the results of creating a highly productive source material to improve the production capabilities of existing varieties of winter hard and turgid wheat. To do this, a cross was performed between a loose-leaved multi-grain variety var.martensii with a large-seeded and dense-leaved var.salomonis. By weight of the grain from the ear, the resulting hybrids significantly exceeded the original parent forms and the zoned varieties of winter hard and turgid wheat, cultivated simultaneously with them, but they were taller. When a hybrid was crossed with a modern low-growing variety of Terra, more productive forms were produced relative to the zoned varieties and the same short-stem forms, which can be used as a promising source of breeding material. The selected hybrids, both individually and on average, clearly outperformed the zoned varieties of durum and turgid wheat in terms of grain weight per ear. The production characteristics of the ear on average for the hybrid were as follows: the length of the ear was 7.6 cm, and 18.9 spikelets and 57.5 grains were formed. Keywords: Triticum turgidum, varieties, hybrid forms, productivity, source material, zoned varietie

Mathematical modeling of the Parker’s instability development of large-scale vibrations of magnetic fields in the sun convective zone

Background and Objectives: The physical mechanism of the generation of a steady wave flow at the photospheric level is studied, which ensures anomalous heating of the solar atmosphere at various stages of the solar activity cycle. Background and Objectives: We study the conditions of stability loss for slow modes of oscillation at various depths of the convective zone and the development of Parker’s instability, which leads to the ejection of magnetic fields into the atmosphere of the Sun. Materials and Methods: Based on the conservative difference scheme, an algorithm for calculating the dynamics of a thin magnetic tube when moving in the convective zone and the solar atmosphere is presented. The equilibrium conditions of the position of the magnetic tube at various depths of the convective zone are determined. The types of linear oscillations of the tube near the equilibrium position were determined: fast (Alfven) and slow (varicose) waves. Results: The physical mechanism for generating weak shock waves at the photospheric level by emerging magnetic fields at the nonlinear stage of development (saturation) of Parker’s instability is determined. Conclusion: The results allow further detailed analysis of wave flow generation in the lower layers of the Sun’s atmosphere at various stages of the cycle activity

Representation of a himan as a subject and personality in the culture of Finno-Ugric peoples

Psychological culture of the ethnos is presented as integral part of its culture. It contains the psychological experience of the nation: psychological knowledge, practical and communication skills, relationships with people. In the psychological culture, a human is represented as a subject and personality. As a part of a common culture, psychological culture is transferred from one generation to another. Recreating in each generation, it determines the psychological appearance of the people. A brief analysis of the research on psychological culture of the Finno-Ugric peoples allowed to define the novelty and relevance of the study. The purpose of the study is to reveal the psychological content of the culture of two Finno-Ugric peoples (Hungarian and Erzya). To achieve this goal, we used the method of psychological analysis of the language as a carrier of the psychological culture of an ethnos. Two dictionaries were used as an object of analysis: Erzya-Russian and Hungarian-Russian. The subject of psychological analysis were the words reflecting all sorts of psychological characteristics of a person: character traits, mental processes and conditions, types of people, social stereotypes, status and roles, behavioral characteristics, etc. A human as a subject and personality is central to the culture of both Finno-Ugric peoples. In the Erzya dictionary there was 29,0 % of words reflecting the psychological characteristics of a person, in Hungarian – 26,4 %. The psychological culture which accumulates the experience of communicating a person with other people is very important for both ethnic groups. It presents common and ethnic features in the content and structure of the psychological experience of these peoples. Culture as in multidimensional medium represents the psychological essence of a person as a subject and person. This part of the culture can be defined as psychological. It is characterized by national and ethnic features. Throughout its historical development, the Erzya and Hungarian peoples have created their own psychological culture, well presented in its languages

The effect of antioxidant drugs on veterinary and sanitary parameters of cow’s milk

The article presents the results of experimental studies to determine the effect of antioxidant drugs “Butofan” and “E-selenium” on veterinary and sanitary parameters of cows’ milk obtained in the period after calving. Childbirth is characterized by a stressful physiological state of the body and a large amount of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products are formed in the blood of cows, which have a negative depleting effect on the body and, naturally, on the quality of milk, since it is a blood product. To enhance the work of the body’s own antioxidant system, since it is not always enough to neutralize LPO products, antioxidant drugs are used. It is necessary to determine veterinary and sanitary parameters in milk obtained under the influence of any drugs, since it is used in human nutrition. For this purpose, experimental studies were carried out on analogous dairy cows in one of the farms of Ryazan region. The cows were divided into three groups: the control and two experimental ones. The control group of animals was intact, the cows of the experimental groups received antioxidant preparations: the first one got “E-selenium” and the second one got “Butofan”. The research results showed that the milk yield of cows in the experimental groups was higher compared to the control. The quality parameters of milk in the experimental groups of cows were better in terms of fat content, protein content, density and acidity. Cow’s milk under the influence of antioxidant drugs was biologically complete and environmentally friendly

Studying the processes of lipid peroxidal oxidation in the organism of fresh cows under the antioxidant impact

The article contains information on the state of the processes of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in fresh cows under the influence of stress reaction caused by labor and the beginning of the lactation period. To reduce oxidative stress in the body of fresh cows, antioxidants were used in the form of preparations “E-selenium” and “Butofan”. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of vitamin-containing preparations “E-selenium” and “Butofan” on the productivity of fresh cows, the quality of milk and butter, made from it. The studies were carried out during the winter-stall period on one of the farms of Ryazan district of Ryazan region and involved 12 fresh black-and-white cows aged 4 years. The control group of animals was intact. As a result of the investigations, it was found that due to the action of the above preparations, which have antioxidant properties, the productivity parameters in the experimental groups of animals were higher compared to the control group, because they had an inhibiting effect on lipid peroxidation processes in the organism and activated the work of its own antioxidant system
