Characteristics of cultivation and development of technical grape varieties on the terraces of the Black Sea region of Odessa by Ishchenko Iryna, Savchuk Yurii, Sapaev Ibrokhim

“…A characteristic feature of these plantations is the increased planting density according to the 1x1 m scheme, which is 10 thousand bushes per hectare. As a result of the conducted research and observations, it was established that, starting from the third year of full fruiting, excessive thickening of the crown of the bushes is observed, both as a result of powerful growth from wintering buds and as a result of the development of fattening shoots and side shoots, therefore, there is a need for pinching shoots in several stages. …”

RESEARCH ON STRESS SPECTRUM GROUPING METHOD OF HIGH SPEED EMU BOGIE by CHEN DaoYun, LIU DeKun, SUN ShouGuang, LI Qiang

“…The determination of structural dynamic stress spectrum is of great significance in the structural fatigue strength evaluation as well as reliability design.To evaluate structure of fatigue strength accurately,stress history on fatigue key parts of motor bogie framework was obtained through dynamic stress test of high-speed EMU on actual operation line.Fatigue damage values per kilometer of stress spectra with different grouping numbers were calculated using equidistant grouping method and Palmgren-Miner linear cumulative damage theory.Then,the effect of different group number on fatigue damage was analyzed.The results show that when the grouping number is small,it can lead to deviation of fatigue damage.As the grouping number increasing,damage decreasing,and tends to the theoretical value.This phenomenon can be interpreted by the EMU framework dynamic stress characteristic of small stress cycles high concentration.Meanwhile,an unequal distance grouping method was presented which is applicable to framework structure stress spectrum.The study can provide the basis for framework structure design.…”

PEA (PISUM L.) ACCESSIONS DIFFER IN THE STAGE OF FLOWER DEVELOPMENT BEST FOR POLLINATION by O. E. Kosterin, V. S. Bogdanova

“…In order to optimize artificial pollination in various pea species and subspecies, the efficiency of artificial pollination was analyzed in eight accessions belonging to Pisum fulvum, Pisum sativum ssp. elatius (wild), P. abyssinicum, and P. sativum ssp. sativum (cultivated). Mean numbers of seeds per flower pollinated with its own pollen were determined in three pollination methods: 1) immediately after bud castration before anther dehiscence, 2) after the dehiscence of a flower castrated at the same stage (delayed pollination), and 3) double pollination as in methods (1) and (2). …”

Clustering Analysis for Active and Reactive Energy Consumption Data Based on AMI Measurements by Oscar A. Bustos-Brinez, Javier Rosero Garcia

“…This work shows the application of a series of clustering techniques over measurements of both active and reactive energy consumption measured for end users from the Colombian electrical network, including an analysis of the efficiency of the network measured by calculating the ratio of active energy to total consumption (power factor) per user. This allows a detailed characterization of users to be compiled, based on the identification of different active and reactive energy consumption behaviors, which could help grid operators to improve overall grid management and to increase the efficiency of their reactive energy compensation strategies.…”
