Improving an efficiency of agricultural territories on the basis of space-based and geoinformation technologies

© 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology. All rights reserved.This article is devoted to the development and use of space-based and geoinformation technologies allowing for agricultural enterprises, state and municipal authorities to carry out an objective assessment of agricultural areas, to analyze and give a forecast of development of agro-business in specific areas and territories. The aim of the study is to determine the territorial features of agricultural plots. The object of research is the territory of the agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan with a total area of about 10 thousand hectares, including an area of 7500 hectares of arable lands with their unique physical and geographical characteristics. In this work we have used traditional geographical techniques: mapping, based on methodological foundations of thematic and complex mapping, and on the achievements in the field of geo-information technologies, comparative descriptive method, spatial analysis method, and statistical method. As a result of the study, a method was developed on evaluating the efficiency of crop production on the territory of individual agricultural areas of enterprises with space-based and geoinformation technologies what will allow timely management decisions to make; and also it is suggested to introduce a specially developed hardware and software for monitoring and implementation of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of use of agricultural land

The effects of matter density uncertainties on neutrino oscillations in the Earth

We compare three different methods to evaluate uncertainties in the Earth's matter density profile, which are relevant to long baseline experiments, such as neutrino factories.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure. Talk given at the NuFact'02 Workshop, London, 1-6 July, 200

Problems of modernization of the health economics in the russian regions

This article describes the problems of the development of the health system in the regions of Russia; suggests a classification of the indicators of the regional health system; provides the comparison of parameters of the health system of the Republic of Tatarstan with the national ones; suggests an action plan on improvement of the regional health system; and shows the necessity to keep statistics on such an indicator as the coefficient of the reproduced population of the labor capital of the country for timely accounting of the simmering problems in the country. © IDOSI Publications, 2013

Classification of large and socially important enterprises of the region by the levels of their economic solvency

The article solves the task of classification/grouping of the regional enterprises based on the sampling of large and socially important enterprises; the number of classes/groups of enterprises by the levels of economic solvency; and other parameters. The discriminant analysis is provided for differentiation (discrimination) of the observed objects by certain attributes and the tasks of classification with learning are solved. The levels of absolute, relative and conditional economic solvency are identified. © IDOSI Publications, 2013

Three natural mechanical systems on Stiefel varieties

We consider integrable generalizations of the spherical pendulum system to the Stiefel variety $V(n,r)=SO(n)/SO(n-r)$ for a certain metric. For the case of V(n,2) an alternative integrable model of the pendulum is presented. We also describe a system on the Stiefel variety with a four-degree potential. The latter has invariant relations on $T^*V(n,r)$ which provide the complete integrability of the flow reduced on the oriented Grassmannian variety $G^+(n,r)=SO(n)/SO(r)\times SO(n-r)$.Comment: 14 page

Damping signatures in future neutrino oscillation experiments

We discuss the phenomenology of damping signatures in the neutrino oscillation probabilities, where either the oscillating terms or the probabilities can be damped. This approach is a possibility for tests of non-oscillation effects in future neutrino oscillation experiments, where we mainly focus on reactor and long-baseline experiments. We extensively motivate different damping signatures due to small corrections by neutrino decoherence, neutrino decay, oscillations into sterile neutrinos, or other mechanisms, and classify these signatures according to their energy (spectral) dependencies. We demonstrate, at the example of short baseline reactor experiments, that damping can severely alter the interpretation of results, e.g., it could fake a value of $\sin(2\theta_{13})$ smaller than the one provided by Nature. In addition, we demonstrate how a neutrino factory could constrain different damping models with emphasis on how these different models could be distinguished, i.e., how easily the actual non-oscillation effects could be identified. We find that the damping models cluster in different categories, which can be much better distinguished from each other than models within the same cluster.Comment: 33 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX.

The current status of orbital experiments for UHECR studies

Two types of orbital detectors of extreme energy cosmic rays are being developed nowadays: (i) TUS and KLYPVE with reflecting optical systems (mirrors) and (ii) JEM-EUSO with high-transmittance Fresnel lenses. They will cover much larger areas than existing ground-based arrays and almost uniformly monitor the celestial sphere. The TUS detector is the pioneering mission developed in SINP MSU in cooperation with several Russian and foreign institutions. It has relatively small field of view (+/-4.5 deg), which corresponds to a ground area of 6.4x10^3 sq.km. The telescope consists of a Fresnel-type mirror-concentrator (~2 sq.m) and a photo receiver (a matrix of 16x16 photomultiplier tubes). It is to be deployed on the Lomonosov satellite, and is currently at the final stage of preflight tests. Recently, SINP MSU began the KLYPVE project to be installed on board of the Russian segment of the ISS. The optical system of this detector contains a larger primary mirror (10 sq.m), which allows decreasing the energy threshold. The total effective field of view will be at least +/-14 degrees to exceed the annual exposure of the existing ground-based experiments. Several configurations of the detector are being currently considered. Finally, JEM-EUSO is a wide field of view (+/-30 deg) detector. The optics is composed of two curved double-sided Fresnel lenses with 2.65 m external diameter, a precision diffractive middle lens and a pupil. The ultraviolet photons are focused onto the focal surface, which consists of nearly 5000 multi-anode photomultipliers. It is developed by a large international collaboration. All three orbital detectors have multi-purpose character due to continuous monitoring of various atmospheric phenomena. The present status of development of the TUS and KLYPVE missions is reported, and a brief comparison of the projects with JEM-EUSO is given.Comment: 18 pages; based on the rapporteur talk given by M.I.

Feasibility of a Small, Rapid Optical-to-IR Response, Next Generation Gamma Ray Burst Mission

We present motivations for and study feasibility of a small, rapid optical to IR response gamma ray burst (GRB) space observatory. By analyzing existing GRB data, we give realistic detection rates for X-ray and optical/IR instruments of modest size under actual flight conditions. Given new capabilities of fast optical/IR response (about 1 s to target) and simultaneous multi-band imaging, such an observatory can have a reasonable event rate, likely leading to new science. Requiring a Swift-like orbit, duty cycle, and observing constraints, a Swift-BAT scaled down to 190 square cm of detector area would still detect and locate about 27 GRB per yr. for a trigger threshold of 6.5 sigma. About 23 percent of X-ray located GRB would be detected optically for a 10 cm diameter instrument (about 6 per yr. for the 6.5 sigma X-ray trigger).Comment: Elaborated text version of a poster presented at 2012 Malaga/Marbella symposiu
