Tall Wheatgrass

Нерациональное использование природных ресурсов вызвало масштабную деградацию Кизлярских пастбищных угодий, которая резко усилилась в последние десятилетия. Между тем они являются важным источником дешёвых кормов для отгонного и стационарного животноводства Республики Дагестан, где на площади 1,5 млн га в осеннее-зимне-весенний период содержится не менее 2 млн голов овец. Продуктивность пастбищ в этой зоне не превышает 0,10–0,15 т/га сухой кормовой массы. В настоящее время чрезвычайно актуальна разработка новых технологий фитомелиорации деградированных кормовых угодий. Предлагается внедрение многокомпонентных двух-трёхъярусных агрофитоценозов путём посадки кустарников (джузгуна безлистного Calligonum aphyllum (Pall.) Gurke), полукустарников (терескена серого Eutoria ceratoides (L.) С. А. Mey.), посева многолетних злаковых (пырея удлинённого Agropyron elongatum (Host) Beauv) и бобовых (эспарцета песчаного Onobrychis arenaria (Kit) D. C.) трав. Данный приём способствует ослаблению деградационных процессов и получению максимального выхода кормовой массы с единицы площади. Целью наших исследований являлось изучение продуктивности фитомелиоративных кормовых культур (пырея удлинённого и эспарцета песчаного) в многолетних двух-трёхъярусных агрофитоценозах разных сроков использования. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о том, что джузгун безлистный и терескен серый благоприятно влияют на урожайность пырея удлинённого и эспарцета песчаного. В опыте с пыреем удлинённым это увеличение составило 1,67 т/га зелёной массы по сравнению с контрольным вариантом (естественное кормовое угодье), а в исследованиях с эспарцетом — 3,44 т/га. Наиболее перспективным оказалось создание трёхъярусных агрофитоценозов: в них наблюдали самые высокие показатели облиственности растений, длины соцветий и количества стеблей пырея удлинённого и эспарцета песчаного. Environmental abuse has caused large-scale degradation of the Kizlyar grasslands, sharply increasing in recent decades. These pastures are an important source of cheap fresh green and rough feed in the Republic of Dagestan, where at least 2 million heads of sheep are kept on 1.5 million ha from autumn to summer. The pasture productivity does not exceed 0.10–0.15 t ha-1 of dry mass in this zone. Currently, the development of new technologies for degraded land restoration is extremely important. It is proposed to introduce multicomponent ecosystems of various height by planting shrubs (Calligonum aphyllum (Pall.) Gurke), semi-shrubs (winterfat Eutoria ceratoides (L.) C.A.) Beauv), perennial grasses (tall wheatgrass Agropyron elongatum (Host) Beauv) and legumes (Hungarian sainfoin Onobrychis arenaria (Kit) DC). This practice has a potential to improve the land quality and provide the maximum yield of feed. The research aimed at studying the productivity of tall wheatgrass and Hungarian sainfoin as components of perennial multi-layered agrophytocenoses of different periods of use. It was revealed that Calligonum aphyllum and winterfat had a positive effect on the yield of tall wheatgrass and Hungarian sainfoin. The yield increase was 1.67 t ha-1 of green mass for tall wheatgrass, and — 3.44 t ha-1 — for Hungarian sainfoin. Three-layer agrophytocenoses were the most promising: tall wheatgrass and Hungarian sainfoin showed the highest plant foliage, length of inflorescences and number of stems.

В условиях осушаемых земель гумидной зоны исследованы сенокосные агрофитоценозы на основе козлятника восточного. Эксперименты проводились в 2014–2019 годах на полигоне ВНИИМЗ — филиала ФИЦ «Почвенный институт им. В. В. Докучаева» (Тверская область). Объектом исследований были многолетние травы при сенокосном использовании: козлятник восточный (сорта Гале, Юбиляр, Кривич), кострец безостый (сорт Вегур), двукисточник тростниковый (сорт Урал), тимофеевка луговая (сорт ВИК 9). Исследования проводились как в травосмесях, так и в одновидовых посевах. Установлено, что козлятник восточный в одновидовых посевах более продуктивен, чем в смешанных агрофитоценозах. Посевы козлятника восточного сорта Кривич на мелиорированных землях в среднем за 5 лет исследований обеспечили наибольшую продуктивность. Травосмесь козлятника восточного с тимофеевкой луговой, кострецом безостым и двукисточником тростниковым формировала урожайность сухой массы на уровне 6,2–8,0 т/га. Одновидовые посевы козлятника восточного всех изученных сортов формировали продуктивность сухой массы до 11,7 т/га. Продуктивность козлятника восточного была наибольшей на глееватой почве. При двуукосном использовании у одновидовых посевов козлятника восточного сорта Юбиляр на глубокооглееной почве, по сравнению с контрольным вариантом, продуктивность была выше на 19%. Менее продуктивными были посевы трёхкомпонентной злаковой смеси на глубокооглееной почве — 4,7 т/га. Установлено, что при посеве смеси козлятника восточного с кострецом безостым, тимофеевкой луговой и двукисточником тростниковым повышалась продуктивность травостоя и улучшалось качество корма. В смеси со злаками четырёхкомпонентные агроценозы были менее засорены несеяными видами трав. Наименьшая доля сорной растительности в бобово-злаковых травостоях на основе козлятника восточного отмечалась в смешанных посевах с участием сорта Юбиляр. Козлятник восточный показал высокую облиственность, которая составила 51,5–56,9%, что способствовало повышению качества кормов сенокосных травостоев. Ключевые слова: козлятник восточный, кострец безостый, тимофеевка луговая, двукисточник тростниковый, глубокооглеенная, глеевая почва, травостой, продуктивность, сенокос. Eastern goat’s rue ecosystems were analyzed on drainage lands of humid zone for hay production. The experiment was carried out at the All-Russian Research Institute of Meliorated Lands — branch of the Federal Research Center “Institute of Soil n. a. V. V. Dokuchaev” in 2014–2019. Perennial grasses performed as the objects of this study: eastern goat’s rue (“Gale”, “Yubilyar”, “Krivich”), smooth brome (“Vegur”), reed canary grass (“Ural”), common timothy (“VIK 9”). Both monocultures and mixtures were tested. Eastern goat’s rue performed better as monoculture. “Krivich” showed the highest productivity. The mixture of eastern goat’s rue, common timothy, and reed canary grass provided 6.2–8.0 t ha-1 of dry mass. Eastern goat’s rue monoculture produced up to 11.7 t ha-1. Eastern goat’s rue had higher productivity on gleyic soil. “Yubilyar” showed yield increase of 19% on gleyic soil under two cuts. Three-component mixture of gramineous had lower yield — 4.7 t ha-1. Seeding eastern goat’s rue with smooth brome, common timothy, and reed canary grass improved sward productivity and feed quality. Four-component ecosystems containing gramineous were less contaminated by weeds. Mixtures of “Yubilyar” had the minimum contamination. Eastern goat’s rue showed high leaf coverage of 51.5–56.9%, positively affecting forage quality.

High cost of the ferromanganese production by traditional methods resulted in searching of new technologies for its production. The main objective of the study was to establish the technological parameters of a new process for the ferromanganese production by using ITmk3 process elements in laboratory conditions. The studies were carried out in the “Nabertherm” chamber furnace, which allows for simulate the temperature and time parameters of ITmk3 process elements in a rotary hearth furnace.The charge for ferromanganese obtaining consisted of manganese ore from the Zhayremsk deposit (Kazakhstan) and non-scarce coal, the consumption of which provided close to stoichiometric one in carbon for the direct reduction of manganese and iron from the correspondent oxides. The composition of the ore gangue and coalash provided a mixture with a slag melting point below 1400 °C.The maximum yield of ferroalloy and the conversion of manganese into the ferroalloy from the burden was achieved at a temperature and duration of thermal treatment of 1500 °C and 10 min, respectively. Information obtained during the study may be used for large-scale testing in a commercially size rotary hearth furnace.

Restoration Work

Putting out of using large areas of agricultural lands in the central region over the past years has led to worsening the prospects of their purposed use, although the problem of the relevance of their restoration still remains. For many years the unused land was exposed to both natural exogenous processes such as erosion, suffusion, etc. and biological and chemical changes, usually for the worse for agriculture. There are considered elements of monitoring aimed at assessing the prospects or lack of perspectives of rehabilitation of degraded lands. An energy approach to assessing the state of slopes and soils located within these slopes is presented. The main factors of natural and anthropogenic character in assessing the prospects for land restoration are their steepness, excess relative to local bases of erosion other morphological characteristics of slopes which in general is reduced to an assessment of the energy provision of slopes and soils. So the higher the energy capacity of slopes – they are less promising for development, for soils – there is a reverse picture – the higher their energy reserves, the more promising is their use. Approaches to zoning the territory for monitoring from larger taxons of natural and anthropogenic genesis to the sites of special surveillance within which the prospects for rehabilitation of the agricultural land are evaluated. The most important factor is the material expediency of such actions, i.e. before starting the restoration work it is necessary to assess the profitability or loss of the proposed event. In cases of the material expediency it is feasible as further actions to include energy assessments of slopes and soils; zoning of the object according to the steepness and oriented characteristics of soil washout; and the possibility of obtaining agronomic and meteorological data on a timely basis. The result of the work is a forecast assessment of the prospects for restoring degraded land for the intended purpose using modern databases and WEB-systems.

Increases in the world’s population and population density promote the spread of emerging pathogens. Vaccines are the most cost-effective means of preventing this spread. Traditional methods used to identify and produce new vaccines are not adequate, in most instances, to ensure global protection. New technologies are urgently needed to expedite large scale vaccine development. mRNA-based vaccines promise to meet this need. mRNA-based vaccines exhibit a number of potential advantages relative to conventional vaccines, namely they (1) involve neither infectious elements nor a risk of stable integration into the host cell genome; (2) generate humoral and cell-mediated immunity; (3) are well-tolerated by healthy individuals; and (4) are less expensive and produced more rapidly by processes that are readily standardized and scaled-up, improving responsiveness to large emerging outbreaks. Multiple mRNA vaccine platforms have demonstrated efficacy in preventing infectious diseases and treating several types of cancers in humans as well as animal models. This review describes the factors that contribute to maximizing the production of effective mRNA vaccine transcripts and delivery systems, and the clinical applications are discussed in detail.

AbstractSome forms of renewable energy have long contributed to electricity generation, whereas others are just emerging. For example, large-scale hydropower is a mature technology generating about 16% of global electricity, and many smaller scale systems are also being installed worldwide. Future opportunities to improve the technology are limited but include upgrading of existing plants to gain greater performance efficiencies and reduced maintenance. Geothermal energy, widely used for power generation and direct heat applications, is also mature, but new technologies could improve plant designs, extend their lifetimes, and improve reliability. By contrast, ocean energy is an emerging renewable energy technology. Design, development, and testing of a myriad of devices remain mainly in the research and development stage, with many opportunities for materials science to improve design and performance, reduce costly maintenance procedures, and extend plant operating lifetimes under the harsh marine environment.

Cultivar Diversity

The objective of fully mechanizing olive harvesting has been pursued since the 1970s to cope with labor shortages and increasing production costs. Only in the last twenty years, after adopting super-intensive planting systems and developing appropriate straddle machines, a solution seems to have been found. The spread of super-intensive plantings, however, raises serious environmental and social concerns, mainly because of the small number of cultivars that are currently used (basically 2), compared to over 100 cultivars today cultivated on a large scale across the world. Olive growing, indeed, insists on over 11 million hectares. Despite its being located mostly in the Mediterranean countries, the numerous olive growing districts are characterized by deep differences in climate and soil and in the frequency and nature of environmental stress. To date, the olive has coped with biotic and abiotic stress thanks to the great cultivar diversity. Pending that new technologies supporting plant breeding will provide a wider number of cultivars suitable for super-intensive systems, in the short term, new growing models must be developed. New olive orchards will need to exploit cultivars currently present in various olive-growing areas and favor increasing productions that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. As in fruit growing, we should focus on “pedestrian olive orchards”, based on trees with small canopies and whose top can be easily reached by people from the ground and by machines (from the side of the top) that can carry out, in a targeted way, pesticide treatments, pruning and harvesting.
