The effect of succinic acid on the productivity of Lactuca sativa L. in artificial agroecosystems
Received: March 7th, 2021 ; Accepted: May 10th, 2021 ; Published: May 19th, 2021 ; Correspondence: [email protected] research of the effect of the biostimulant on the growth and development of plants
of the ‘Robin’ lettuce variety was carried out in 2019–2020 in the department of closed artificial
agroecosystems for crop production on the basis of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific
Institution «Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM», Moscow (VIM, Russia). Succinic
acid was used at the stage of inoculation of seed and with constant drip irrigation of plants
throughout the growing period. Lettuce plants were grown using a low-volume technology in a
climatic chamber produced by VIM (Russia). According to the studies carried out, inoculation of
seeds stimulates the development of plants at the initial stages, reducing the period from sowing
to germination and increasing the rate of plant growth. As the lettuce plants grew, the leaf surface
area increased from 221.0 to 1511.9 cm² with the addition of succinic acid to the hydroponic
nutrient solution. The use of succinic acid under controlled growing conditions of ‘Robin’ lettuce
plants allowed to increase the performance of the leaf apparatus in relation to the control. It was
experimentally established that productivity directly depended on the value of photosynthetic
potential and net productivity of photosynthesis, which is confirmed by a strong degree of
dependence with a correlation coefficient of 0.98 and 0.77, respectively. Seed treatment and
adding succinic acid to the hydroponic solution increases the accumulation of dry matter in lettuce
plants. With this method of using succinic acid, significant differences in the accumulation of dry
mass of plants were established. The share of the effect of the factor of inoculation of seeds with
succinic acid was 17.5%, the addition of hydroponics to the nutrient solution was 50.1%. The use
of succinic acid increases the accumulation of plant biomass, increases the total leaf surface area,
and also contributes to an increase in the parameters of photosynthetic activity of the leaf
apparatus of the ‘Robin’ lettuce plants under controlled conditions of the climatic chamber

Показано, что в случае химеризма по половым хромосомам воспроизводительная функция у кобеля была в норме
Ball on a beam: stabilization under saturated input control with large basin of attraction
This article is devoted to the stabilization of two underactuated planar
systems, the well-known straight beam-and-ball system and an original circular
beam-and-ball system. The feedback control for each system is designed, using
the Jordan form of its model, linearized near the unstable equilibrium. The
limits on the voltage, fed to the motor, are taken into account explicitly. The
straight beam-and-ball system has one unstable mode in the motion near the
equilibrium point. The proposed control law ensures that the basin of
attraction coincides with the controllability domain. The circular
beam-and-ball system has two unstable modes near the equilibrium point.
Therefore, this device, never considered in the past, is much more difficult to
control than the straight beam-and-ball system. The main contribution is to
propose a simple new control law, which ensures by adjusting its gain
parameters that the basin of attraction arbitrarily can approach the
controllability domain for the linear case. For both nonlinear systems,
simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the designed
nonlinear control laws and to determine the basin of attraction
Development of a Momentum Determined Electron Beam in the 1 -45 GeV Range
A beam line for electrons with energies in the range of 1 to 45 GeV, low
contamination of hadrons and muons and high intensity up to 10^6 per
accelerator spill at 27 GeV was setup at U70 accelerator in Protvino, Russia. A
beam tagging system based on drift chambers with 160 micron resolution was able
to measure relative electron beam momentum precisely. The resolution sigma_p p
was 0.13% at 45 GeV where multiple scattering is negligible. This test beam
setup provided the possibility to study properties of lead tungstate crystals
(PbWO_4) for the BTeV experiment at Fermilab.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures; work done by the BTeV Electromagnetic

Instabilities in the Flux Line Lattice of Anisotropic Superconductors
The stability of the flux line lattice has been investigated within
anisotropic London theory. This is the first full-scale investigation of
instabilities in the `chain' state. It has been found that the lattice is
stable at large fields, but that instabilities occur as the field is reduced.
The field at which these instabilities first arise, ,
depends on the anisotropy and the angle at which the
lattice is tilted away from the -axis. These instabilities initially occur
at wavevector , and the component of along the
average direction of the flux lines, , is always finite. As the
instability occurs at finite the dependence of the cutoff on is
important, and we have used a cutoff suggested by Sudb\ospace and Brandt. The
instabilities only occur for values of the anisotropy appropriate to
a material like BSCCO, and not for anisotropies more appropriate to YBCO. The
lower critical field is calculated as a function of the angle
at which the applied field is tilted away from the crystal axis. The
presence of kinks in is seen to be related to instabilities in
the equilibrium flux line structure.Comment: Extensively revised paper, with modified analysis of elastic
instabilities. Calculation of the lower critical field is included, and the
presence of kinks in is seen to be related to the elastic
instabilities. 29 pages including 16 figures, LaTeX with epsf styl
Correlation of Beam Electron and LED Signal Losses under Irradiation and Long-term Recovery of Lead Tungstate Crystals
Radiation damage in lead tungstate crystals reduces their transparency. The
calibration that relates the amount of light detected in such crystals to
incident energy of photons or electrons is of paramount importance to
maintaining the energy resolution the detection system. We report on tests of
lead tungstate crystals, read out by photomultiplier tubes, exposed to
irradiation by monoenergetic electron or pion beams. The beam electrons
themselves were used to measure the scintillation light output, and a blue
light emitting diode (LED) was used to track variations of crystals
transparency. We report on the correlation of the LED measurement with
radiation damage by the beams and also show that it can accurately monitor the
crystals recovery from such damage.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, LaTeX2

Comparison of Radiation Damage in Lead Tungstate Crystals under Pion and Gamma Irradiation
Studies of the radiation hardness of lead tungstate crystals produced by the
Bogoroditsk Techno-Chemical Plant in Russia and the Shanghai Institute of
Ceramics in China have been carried out at IHEP, Protvino. The crystals were
irradiated by a 40-GeV pion beam. After full recovery, the same crystals were
irradiated using a -ray source. The dose rate profiles along
the crystal length were observed to be quite similar. We compare the effects of
the two types of radiation on the crystals light output.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, Latex 2e, 28.04.04 - minor grammatical change
