ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC BASES OF ENERGY CONSERVATION IN AGRICULTURE

Russian agricultural production at current stage is very energy intensive. At the cost of agricultural production overall cost of energy resources is growing: in 2000 was 36.5 billion rubles, 2008 - 92 billion rubles, 2009 - 110.6 billion rubles, and in 2010 rose to 119.8 billion rubles, or increased by 3.3 times. The analysis of consumption of the main energy sources for the period from 1990 to 2010 showed a decrease in general and the specific consumption of diesel fuel, gasoline and electricity by 5-7 times. Reducing energy consumption is explained as a forced saving resources because of lack of funds for the acquisition and implementation of agricultural enterprises of energy and resource saving measures (resource-saving technologies in the production process, motor fuel, biofuels and alternative energy sources). To solve this problem State and business in a matter of priority should be to build an effective system of innovation development for agriculture, promote the participation of agricultural science and education system in this process, modernize the domestic agricultural machinery, engineering and technology infrastructure

ECONOMIC ESTIMATION OF REALIZATION OF TECHNICAL POTENTIAL OF THE ORYOL REGION AGRICULTURE

In the scientific literature often there is an opinion on sharp decrease in technical potential of agriculture. At the same time the market offers technics with qualitative characteristics, is considerable different from technics of the previous generation. In the present article the analysis of technical equipment of agriculture of the Oryol region is presented. Authors spend an estimation of tendencies of updating of park of agricultural machinery, its age structure is analysed. Competitive advantages of various kinds of technics are considered. The economic estimation of realisation of technical potential of agriculture of the Oryol region is given

Challenges of Aviation Personnel Training at Higher Educational Institutions

The Ukrainian airlines’ fleet consists of civil aircrafts, 80 percents of which are manufactured abroad, in particular in the United States of America and in Western Europe. That is why it requires training of aviation specialists who perform maintenance operations of foreign and national modern aircrafts in accordance with the international standards. Principal aspects of national educational standards for aircrafts maintenance personnel training harmonization with EASA Regulations have been analyzed to show how to adjust the educational and training programs and curricula for training of aircrafts maintenance personnel according to Part-66 standards

Computer study of the physical properties of a copper film on a heated graphene surface

The structural, kinetic, and mechanical properties of a copper film deposited on single-layer and two-layer graphenes have been studied in a molecular-dynamics model in the temperature range 300 K ≤ T ≤ 3300 K. The film sizes are reduced in the "zigzag" direction more slowly than in the "armchair" direction. The differences have been found to appear in the behavior of copper atoms on single-layer and two-layer graphenes with increasing temperature. Copper atoms on the two-layer graphene have higher horizontal mobility over entire temperature range. However, Cu atoms on the single-layer graphene become more mobile in the vertical direction beginning from a temperature of ~1500 K. The stress tensor components of the copper film characterizing the action of forces on the horizontal areas have a sharp extremum at T = 1800 K in the case of the single-layer graphene and are characterized by quite smooth behavior in the case of the two-layer graphene. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Computer simulation of thin nickel films on single-layer graphene

The energy, mechanical, and transport properties of nickel films on a single-layer graphene sheet in the temperature range 300 K ≤ T ≤ 3300 K have been investigated using the molecular dynamics method. The stresses generated in the plane of the metallic film are significantly enhanced upon deposition of another nickel film on the reverse side of the graphene sheet. In this case, the self-diffusion coefficient in the film plane above 1800 K, in contrast, decreases. An appreciable temperature elongation per unit length of the film also occurs above 1800 K and dominates in the "zigzag" direction of the graphene sheet. The vibrational spectra of the nickel films on single-layer graphene for horizontal and vertical displacements of the Ni atoms have very different shapes. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Project strategies of political thought: meta-scientific dominants

This paper deals with the problem of philosophical and scientific (epistemological) reflection of the value assumptions in political thinking. The authors of the paper use the concept of civic consciousness to demonstrate the relationship of historical axiological senses of political thinking in the context of holistic comprehension of the state life of peopl

Regional Practice of Project Management in the Process of Primary Health Care Improvement by using Supply Chain Strategy

Abstract- The article reveals the practice of project approach application in the process of primary health care system improvement by using the supply chain strategy. A special place is given to the description of the project “Health Management†implementation process, initiated in the Belgorod Region. They provided the characteristic of the project stages and its intermediate effects. They presented the experience of project activities by conditional blocks. The main results of the regional project are shown. Ideology and project activities are aimed at strategic goal achievement - the provision of life expectancy up to 75 years, including healthy one, among the regional population by 2020

Dissolved silicon and nitrogen in glacial rivers and water of Blago bay (Russian Arctic, Novaya Zemlya): origin, variability and spreading

Hydrochemical studies of watercourses and the water area of Blagopoluchia bay (Novaya Zemlya, Arctic, Russia) have been carried out. The concentrations of nutrients in rivers and streams are higher than those in the water area of Blagopoluchia bay. It is shown that the concentration of silicon in constantly flowing rivers is 1–13 μM, the concentration of NO3 — 0.5–8, for small and temporary streams these values are higher and are in the range of 18–46 μM Si, 1–11 μM NO3– . The influence of streams and rivers flowing into Blagopoluchia Bay on the water area of the bay is local and extends to 1 km from the mouth, and does not influence the Kara Sea nutrient content.Hydrochemical studies of watercourses and the water area of Blagopoluchia bay (Novaya Zemlya, Arctic, Russia) have been carried out.
