The cargo transportation is an integral and energy-consuming part of agricultural production. To improve the energy performance of transport tractor units (TTU), an elastic-damping mechanism (EDM) installed in the tractor transmission was developed. An experimental study was conducted to identify the influence of the EDM on the operation of the tractor as part of the TTU, when it is moving on a dirt road in the 9th gear of the main speed range of the gearbox (GB) of the tractor. A tractor of traction class 1.4 was used. Energy sensors were installed on the main elements of the tractor. The energy performance of the tractor with a transmission equipped with the EDM and the tractor with a factory transmission are determined. A decrease in fuel consumption by 7.3%, a decrease in traction forces from an aggregated trailer by 19.9%, a decrease in the amplitude of fluctuations in traction forces by 28.3% and a decrease in skidding of the driving units by an average of 9.7% were revealed. A graph describing the dynamics of changes in the skidding of the driving units of a serial tractor and a tractor with the EDM in time is constructed. The statistical processing of the skidding indicators is performed. A decrease in the amplitude of fluctuations in the coefficient of skidding by 16.3% was revealed. The obtained results of experimental studies indicate that the tractor as part of the TTU with the EDM in the transmission has better performance compared to a serial tractor and has a lower load on the engine, gearbox elements and driving wheels of the tractor.

Introduction. One of the areas of agricultural production is crop production. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account all available possibilities of reducing the energy consumption and labor required for tillage operations that can be achieved by using energy efficient tillage tools. Materials and Methods. In the course of the research, an agrotechnical and energy assessment of the technological process of soil cultivation performed by tillage tools was carried out. The agrotechnical assessment includes identifying the indicators of unevenness of the tillage tool travel depth, soil pulverization, ridging, and the content of erosion threatening particles. As an energy assessment, the indicator of draught created by a tillage tool was taken. The researches were carried out for various configurations of the chisel cultivators with flat and curved hoes, and elements made of polymer. Results. The data of agricultural assessment and draught of chisel cultivators were obtained for various agricultural backgrounds: winter wheat stubble with preliminary disking in one track, winter barley stubble with preliminary disking in one track, and autumn fallow on the background. Discussion and Conclusion. According to the results of the research, it was found that, in terms of quality indicators, the tillage tools meet the agrotechnical requirements for a given processing depth of 25–35 cm. The operation of the chisel equipped with a curved hoe is characterized by the highest presence of clods up to 5 cm (91–96%). The ridge height was 6.8–8.0 cm for all tillage tools. It has been established that the tillage tools are advisable to be uses for anti-erosion soil cultivation. In terms of preserving plant and crop residues, a chisel with a curved hoe providing their content by 9.5–28.6% more than with a polymer of 13.2–14.3%. The chisel with polymer has the smallest draught of 7.6 kN, which is 18.28% lower in comparison with tillage tools equipped with a flat hoe.

The article presents results of theoretical and experimental studies of the processes of iron solid-phase reduction from an iron-containing concentrate obtained as a result of hydrometallurgical dressing of ferromanganese and polymetallic manganese-containing ores with coals of grades D (long-flame) and 2B (brown). The method of thermodynamic modeling using TERRA software complex was used to study the reducing properties of hydrocarbons by calculating equilibrium compositions in the temperature range of 373 - 1873 K. The authors obtained the dependences of compositions and volume of the gas phase formed as a result of the release of volatile components during heating on the temperature for the coals of the grades under consideration. As a result of thermodynamic modeling, the optimal temperatures and consumption are determined, which ensure the complete iron reduction from an iron-containing concentrate. The results of experimental studies were obtained by modern research methods using laboratory and analytical equipment, as well as methods of statistical processing. Results of the coals analysis carried out using the Setaram LabSys Evo thermal analyzer showed that the process of thermal decomposition of coals of the studied grades proceeds according to general laws. The process of thermal decomposition of long-flame coal proceeds less intensively than of brown coal. The results of an experimental study of the processes of thermal decomposition of reducing agents have shown that volumes of the gas phases, formed when coals are heated to a temperature of 1173 K in an argon atmosphere, practically coincide with the calculated values. As a result of thermodynamic modeling and experimental study, the optimal consumption of D and 2B grades of coal is determined at a temperature of 1473 K. The best reducing agent with a minimum specific consumption is long-flame coal of D grade. When determining the optimal amount of reducing agent in charge mixtures during the study of metallization processes, it was found that with an excess of reducing agent, it is possible to achieve almost complete extraction (98 - 99 %) of iron from the concentrate.

Introduction. Toxic hepatitis (TH) is a complex and multifaceted disease, the development of which is mediated by a complex of biochemical and molecular genetic interactions. The current understanding of the pathogenesis of TH and, as a consequence, its treatment is based on standardization of the phenotype of the disease, often without taking into account metabolic disorders within the cells. Material and methods. experimental studies were performed on white outbred male rats weighing 200-220 g. A 50% solution of TCM was used as a toxicant. Biochemical studies were performed on a laboratory medical photometer “Stat Fax 3300” using clinical test kits and control materials manufactured by Vector-Best LLC. Liver tissue for histological examination was subjected to the standard histological procedure and paraffin embedding. Sections 5-7 μm thick were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Gene expression analysis was performed using real-time PCR amplification on a RotorGene instrument (QIAGEN). Statistical processing of experimental data was performed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results were considered reliable at p <0.05. Results. As a result of the analysis of the correlation of the expression of the studied genes and the level of biochemical parameters, it was found that the correlation of the expression of the Nfe2l2 and Gstm1 genes was r = 0.812 (p = 0.0001). The dynamics of gene expression of Chek, Gstm1, Gstp1, Nfe2l2, had a negative correlation with the level of AST activity in blood serum. And the expression of the genes Chek, Gclc, Gstm1, Nfe2l2, Ripk, Sod1 with an index of ALT activity in the blood serum. After 72 hours, the expression of almost all of the studied genes became multidirectional. And the correlation between indices is often not determined. An analysis of the relationship between the level of cytolysis enzymes and the correlation level of the studied genes showed that after 72 hours the correlation was observed in the Gstm1, Hmox, and Sod1 genes with the levels of AST and ALT.

In a world context focused on energy efficiency and sustainable construction, returning to the use of raw earth in construction constitutes a good alternative to concrete construction, a system more energy consuming and yet more used nowadays. This return is justified by the excellent energy performance and the high level of thermal comfort provided by earth constructions in different climates. In cold climates, adding an insulation on earth walls has proven to be effective in improving their thermal performances. However, the influence of adding an insulation on the energy performance of rammed earth buildings in hot and arid climates remains to this day little explored. The present work comes in this order of ideas; it is based on a comparative study of the energetic performances of a mud building before and after the addition of the insulation. In order to compare between their performances, we have performed a simulation of the thermal behaviour of each by the dynamic thermal simulation software Design Builder.

Buildings that are designed to meet high-energy performance requirements, e.g., passive houses, require well-insulated building envelopes, with increased insulation thicknesses for roof, wall and floor structures. We investigate whether there are differences in the efficiency of thermal insulation materials at different moisture levels in the insulation and if there is a larger or smaller risk of natural convection in wood-fibre based insulation than in mineral wool. The work has mainly been performed by use of laboratory measurements included permeability properties and full-scale measurements of thermal transmittance of mineral wool and wood-fibre insulated constructions. In addition, calculations have been used to calculate resulting effects on the thermal performance of constructions. Results showed that the thermal conductivity was unaffected by moisture in the hygroscopic range. The air permeability was found to be approximately 50% higher for the wood-fibre insulation compared to mineral wool insulation. Measurements showed that the largest U-values and Nusselt numbers were found for the wall configuration. Calculation of the U-value of walls showed that in order to achieve the same U-value for the wood-fibre insulated wall as the mineral wool, it is necessary to add 20 mm insulation to the 250 mm wall and approximately 30 mm for the 400 mm wall.

A similarity criteria were reveled to determine the dependence of maximum pressure of the tractor wheel on the soil on the basis of the use of similarity theory. Each similarity criterion includes several parameters, characterizing the tractor, its propeller and physical and mechanical properties of the soil. The similarity criteria is taken as factors in the multivariate experiment. Multifactorial experimental studies were planned and carried out. We used Statistics Toolbox subsystem of Matlab computer mathematics system for processing the results of experiments. As a result of statistical processing of the experimental data by the equation we obtained a dependence of maximum pressure of the tractor wheel on the soil from tractor parameters, and physical and mechanical properties of the soil. Statistical data on the equations, such as - multiple correlation coefficient, Fisher’s criterion, Student’s criterion, indicate the significance of equations of the experiments variants, as well as the significance of the coefficients of the regression equations.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the significance of differences in the technological parameters of electroerosive micro-hole firmware for two variants of the micro-hole firmware series process: without facing the tool electrode and with the tool electrode facing after processing each hole. The significance of differences in the technological parameters of the firmware process is established: by the wear of the electrode-tool, by the productivity of the process and the efficiency of the process as a whole. Detailed statistical processing of data from two samples of eight duplicate (parallel) experiments in each sample is performed to accurately assess the significance of the differences between the two variants of the process of electroerosive firmware of microholes. Calculations are made of the limit values of parameters of the microholes' electroerosion firmware: the relative linear wear of the electrode-tool and the process performance. They allow identifying and excluding doubtful experiments (artifacts) from the results, i.e. experiments with sharply distinguished results. The results of such experiments should be excluded from the statistical series, since they significantly affect the results of the experiment. The paper uses an exact method for determining the required number of duplicate experiments developed at BSTU named after V. G. Shukhov. The conducted research clearly shows the feasibility of introducing the electrode-tool in manufacturing to reduce the wear of the electrode-tool and, therefore, increase the quality of products with deaf microholes, for example, in the mass production of atraumatic surgical needles, the volume of production of which is millions of pieces per year.
