Architectural and spatial changing of university complexes and buildings in the reformation stage of higher education in Russia

The article investigates modern home tendencies of transformation of university complexes. This transformation is based on the carcass of interactions built in the structure of innovative activity and is a prerequisite of the development of the forming university clusters. The main prerequisites of transformations in architectural and spatial environment of universities against the background of the reforms in higher education in Russia are examined. A project experiment grounding the necessity of architectural and spatial changes of university buildings and complexes is described

On the concept of town-planning design of the agricultural cluster in a big city

The article deals with topical issues of town-planning design of the agricultural cluster in a big city as an integral part of the designing methodology for sustainable development of urban areas. The research subject is connected with ecological principles of town-planning, historical features of urban area development, agricultural settlement and specialization of the agricultural sector. The purpose of the study is to develop the town-planning concept of the agricultural cluster in a big city, the functional structure of its elements and to define principles of their organization within the context of methodology of area sustainable development. As a result of the research a number of principles for forming architectural and town-planning structures of the agricultural cluster have been formulated, including: the principle of sectorial town-planning, the principle of urban and rural areas integration, the principle of ecologization of cluster strategies and architectural and town-planning solutions, the principle of integrating landscape, agro-landscape and housing development, the principle of bio-positive design of buildings and complexes

Domestic urbanization in formation of comfortable urban environment

This article explores the interlinkages between the stages of urban development, improvement and “domestic” urbanization. The issue is considered in the context of historical, economic, socio-demographic, environmental and sanitary factors. The work justifies that the study of processes of agglomeration development of urban areas makes it possible to predict the prospects of formation of engineering and transport infrastructures, to identify the most effective and balanced solution in the context of sustainable development of urbanized areas

Characterization of odor-active compounds of various pea preparations by GC-MS, GC-O, and their correlation with sensory attributes

Pea preparations (flours, concentrates, and isolates) are increasingly used in plant-based products, but their characteristic odor is often causing problems. Advanced knowledge of the aroma profile of pea preparations could improve understanding of how pea-based ingredients affect sensory properties of foods.This study investigated the aroma profiles of different pea preparations using solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), and descriptive sensory analysis. The GC-MS analysis included MRM detection of methoxypyrazines, which significantly contribute to the flavor of pea preparations.More than 100 volatile compounds were identified in pea preparation samples by GC-MS, aldehydes being the main molecules, and 39 aroma-active compounds were registered by GC-O assessors. Sensory attributes of pea protein preparations were compared with analytical data to find the characteristic aroma-active compounds. Sensory panel evaluation showed noticeable differences between the pea preparations. Unsaturated aldehydes, which impart green odor, and methoxypyrazines, with pea-like and beany notes, enhance the sensory perception of green and pea-like characteristics in pea preparations. Methanethiol increased sulfur-like odor in pea protein isolate A. β-Damascenone had high modified frequency in pea protein isolate C, enhancing honey-like attributes. Methanethiol and β-damascenone were not reported previously as odor-active compounds in pea protein preparations

METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINATION OF SOUND INSULATION OF APARTMENTS’ ENCLOSING STRUCTURES TO MEET NOISE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

Subject: an important task in the design of internal enclosing structures of apartments is the establishment of their required soundproofing ability. At present, there is no reliable method for determining the required sound insulation and in this regard internal enclosures are designed without proper justification for noise protection. Research objectives: development of a technique for determining the required sound insulation of apartment’s internal enclosures to ensure an acceptable noise regime in the apartments’ rooms under the action of intra-apartment noise sources. Materials and methods: the methodology was developed on the basis of a statistical method for noise calculation in the apartments, treated as systems of acoustically coupled proportionate rooms, and with the help of a computer program that implements this method. Results: the technique makes it possible to generate, with the use of computer technologies, a targeted selection of internal enclosures of the apartment to meet their soundproofing requirements. Conclusions: the technique proposed in the article can be used at the design stage of apartments when determining the required soundproofing of partitions and doors. Using this technique, it is possible to harmonize the sound insulation ratio of individual elements among themselves and thereby guarantee a selection of internal structures for their acoustic and economic efficiency
