Energy of dendritic avalanches in thin-film superconductors
A method for calculating stored magnetic energy in a thin superconducting film based on quantitative magneto-optical imaging is developed. Energy and magnetic moment are determined with these calculations for full hysteresis loops in a thin film of the superconductor NbN. Huge losses in energy are observed when dendritic avalanches occur. Magnetic energy, magnetic moment, sheet current and magnetic flux distributions, all extracted from the same calibrated magneto-optical images, are analyzed and discussed. Dissipated energy and the loss in moment when dendritic avalanches occur are related to each other. Calculating these losses for specific spatially-resolved flux avalanches is a great advantage, because of their unpredictable and non-reproducible nature. The relative losses in energy are much higher than the relative losses in moment

Permafrost temperature and active-layer thickness of Yakutia with 0.5-degree spatial resolution for model evaluation
Based on the map of landscapes and permafrost conditions in Yakutia
(Merzlotno-landshaftnaya karta Yakutskoi0 ASSR, Gosgeodeziya SSSR,
1991), rasterized maps of permafrost temperature and active-layer
thickness of Yakutia, East Siberia were derived. The mean and
standard deviation at 0.5-degree grid cell size are estimated by
assigning a probability density function at 0.001-degree spatial
resolution. The gridded datasets can be accessed at the PANGAEA
repository (<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.808240"target="_blank">doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.808240</a>). Spatial pattern of both
variables are dominated by a climatic gradient from north to south,
and by mountains and the soil type distribution. Uncertainties are
highest in mountains and in the sporadic permafrost zone in the
south. The maps are best suited as a benchmark for land surface
models which include a permafrost module
Correlation of physical development indicators with speed-strength performance in 11-12-year-old boys
© 2019 International Journal of Instruction. The paper is devoted to the issues of improving the methods of physical training. Currently, the method of teaching and training schoolchildren is developed mainly with a focus on a child's age, which does not always correspond to his or her biological maturity. These reasons together with the growing phenomenon of child acceleration reinforce the relevance of the research topic. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of speed-strength exercises on the physical development and speed-strength qualities of schoolchildren aged 11-12. The authors used the measurements of anthropometric and physiometric indicators, as well as the tests that determine the level of development of speed and speed-strength qualities. The results of the research show that the physical indicators of the test group tend to increase, and during the school year, many indicators significantly change

Ice Volumes in Permafrost Landscapes of Arctic Yakutia
This article is devoted to the study of the distribution of ground ice volumes in the upper layers of 5–10 m permafrost in the permafrost landscapes of Arctic Yakutia. Compilation of such a map will serve as a basis for assessing the vulnerability of permafrost to global warming, anthropogenic impact and forecasting the evolution of permafrost landscapes. The map was compiled using ArcGIS software, which supports attribute table mapping. The ground ice map of Arctic Yakutian permafrost landscapes shows that about 19% of the area is occupied by ultra ice-rich (above 0.6 in volumetric ice content) sediments. Very high ice volumes (0.4–0.6) are cover approximately 27%, moderate ice volumes (0.2–0.4)—25% of the area, and low ice volumes (less than 0.2)—about 29% of Arctic Yakutia
Mapping the Main Characteristics of Permafrost on the Basis of a Permafrost-Landscape Map of Yakutia Using GIS
The purpose of this article was to compile four separate digital thematic maps of temperature and ice content of permafrost, the active layer thickness, and cryogenic processes in Yakutia as a basis for assessing changes to modern climate changes and anthropogenic disturbances. In this work, materials on permafrost were used, serving as the basis for compiling a permafrost landscape map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The maps were compiled using ArcGIS software, which supports attribute table mapping. The ground temperature and active layer thickness maps reflected landscape zonality and regional differences. Peculiarities of genetic types of Quaternary deposits and climatic conditions reflected the ice content of surface sediments and cryogenic process distribution maps. One of the most common is ground temperatures from −2.1 to −4.0 °C, which were found to occupy about 37.4% of the territory of Yakutia. More than half of the region was found to be occupied by permafrost landscapes with a limited thickness of the active layer up to 1.1 m. Ice-rich permafrost (more than 0.4 in ice content) was found to be typical for about 40% of the territory. Thermokarst is the most hazardous process that occurs in half of Yakutia
