Remote sensing estimation of chlorophyll content in rape leaves in Weibei dryland region of China by Xia Liheng, Zhang Panpan, Shi Lei, Wang Kun, Zhang Tingyu

“…Subsequently, single-factor models, partial least squares regression models, Back Propagation neural network (BPNN) models, Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization BPNNs, and BPNN models optimized through GAs based on multiple linear stepwise regression using spectral parameters (referred to as MLSR-GA-BP NN models) were constructed and compared. Findings revealed several significant observations: (1) Consistency in the spectral curves of rape leaves, with spectral reflectance diminishing as chlorophyll content increased; (2) Strong correlations among seven spectral parameters utilized in the modeling, all exceeding 0.770 and achieving significant correlations at the 0.01 level; (3) Across various growth periods, the BPNN model optimized through GAs based on multiple linear stepwise regression emerged as the optimal model. …”

Influence of Geometry and Boundary Conditions in Area of the Cohesion between Materials on the Reflection of an Ultrasonic Beam. Part 2. Features of Experimental Simulation by A. R. Baev, N. V. Levkovitch, M. V. Asadchaya, A. L. Mayorov, G. I. Razmyslovich, A. Y. Burnos

“…For this purpose an immersion installation working in the shadow mode and allowing for simulation the spatial fields of scattered longitudinal waves at inhomogeneous or defective adhesion boundaries was developed and constructed. It is assumed that the waves interacting with such a boundary acquire a discrete or smoothly varying phase shift which significantly affects the formation of the scattering field in its peripheral zone. …”

Law enforcement activity, globalization and social morality in frameworks of mass culture (On the Example of Modern European TV-Shows on Law-Enforcements. Part 2) by Vovk V.

“…The author outlines a wide range of questions devoted to the interaction of various spheres of a person's spiritual life (social morality, law, law enforcement, art), which has great variability, is represented by a wide palette of subject forms, reflects the current social reality and at the same time constructs it. Cultural and semiotic methodological approaches assisted in carrying out an analysis of modern series on law enforcement officers to find in them the transmission of the main moral values of Western European society, which include humanism, equality, tolerance, and inclusion. …”

NEGATION, INCLUDING, GRADUAL OBLIVION: STATE STRATEGIES ON SOVIET HERITAGE IN GEORGIA, ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN by A. A. Tokarev

“…The article postulates clear differences between the study of postcolonialism and the post-Soviet space, and therefore the author presents his own operationalization of the "imperial heritage" study.The countries of the South Caucasus are compared based on the following criteria: a number of ethnic Russians as the main constituent of the Soviet people living in the country; a status of the Russian language; national symbols (statutes, architecture, Soviet state symbols, the hierarchy of military ranks), and political practices (functioning of the party systems, type of sovereignty, degree of freedom of speech and political competition).StudyingAzerbaijan,ArmeniaandGeorgiadifferently coming out of theUSSRand using the disintegration of theUSSRto construct their national narratives in accordance with their own ideas about the ways of development, the author finds a repetition of the Soviet system elements.Each of the states demonstrates a unique combination of “post-Soviet Soviet” phenomena. …”
