This paper addresses wind conditions in urban building development at the pedestrian level. The article aimed to identify aerodynamic phenomena around three types of multi-family housing developments with different forms and the same urban parameters of building development density (high density was taken into account). The aim of the research was mainly to achieve qualitative results that would lead to understanding fundamental processes and phenomena. Wind tunnel experimental studies were conducted on physical models at a scale of 1: 400 using visualization and erosion methods. These experiments yielded data regarding the arrangement of airflow directions and changes in airflow velocity, expressed as the amplification coefficient (α), the occurrence of which was caused by the presence of buildings. An analysis was conducted concerning wind conditions that constitute pedestrian comfort and influence the possibility for ventilation of spaces between buildings for the three selected models. The research results were compared, and an attempt was made to assess the most beneficial and the least favorable building development types in this respect.

Modern technologies of remote sensing of the Earth from space allow creating new information systems for observing and studying various processes occurring in biogeocenoses and agrocenoses. This is especially important in the case when it comes to the study of grape agrocenoses, since their most important elements are perennial plants and soils that provide a harvest. In this case, it is necessary to create special information technology for monitoring such objects. This will allow forming a series of observations that are uniform in time and space and provide the ability to conduct an analysis with a high degree of reliability in the future. The aim of this work is to develop methodological foundations for the formation of a system for remote diagnostics of soil fertility of grape agrocenoses in connection with the technology of cultivation and bioecological features of cultivated crops in solving problems of improving land use efficiency, as well as the creation of a mock-up of information system for remote monitoring of grape agrocenoses on their basis, aimed at solving tasks of predicting the condition of soils and vineyards, obtaining objective information about predicted fertility, solving problems of increasing land use efficiency, taking into account soil cultivation technologies and bioecological features of cultivated crops, abiotic and biotic factors.

<p>This paper uses the farmer household’s model to structure the analytical framework of concurrent business cultivated land use behavior and its efficiency and then uses group comparison analysis and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to analyze the diversity of cultivated land use behavior and efficiency, among different types of concurrent business farmer which is based on the promise of separation not established and investigation data of farmer household. The results demonstrate that the concurrent business types have a significant influence on utilization patterns and farmer household’s behavioral options, different types of farmers’ investment, management and land scale have a big difference. Generally speaking, capital and labor input of concurrent business farmer household are high than that of specialized farmer, concurrent business farmer household Class ? are higher than that of Class ?; and different utilization patterns lead to the difference of cultivated land use efficiency. Moreover, technical efficiency of specialized farmer household is higher than that of concurrent business farmer household Class ? based on the separation was not established, and both of them are higher than that of concurrent business farmer household Class ?. That illustrates land use efficiency of farmer household will reduce as the level of concurrent business increase.</p>

Abstract Taking 110 prefecture level cities in the Yangtze River economic belt from 2008 to 2017 as samples, uses SBM model, coupling coordination model and panel VAR model to study the interaction between urban land price and urban land use efficiency, in order to reveal the interactive influence differences between urban land price and land use efficiency in the region, so as to provide reference for land use management and mitigation in the region Contradiction provides reference. The results are as follows: (1) there is a two-way causal relationship between urban land price and urban land use efficiency in all types of cities, but there are regional differences in the level of significance; (2) the urban land use efficiency and land price in all types of cities have self enhancement mechanism, but they weaken over time; (3) the land price in all types of cities can be increased to a certain extent urban land use efficiency, but the improvement of different types of urban land use efficiency does not necessarily lead to the rise of land price; and (4) different types of urban land use efficiency and the ability of self-inertia enhancement of land price are different, and the mutual influence intensity between land price and land use efficiency is also different. Conclusion: The interaction between land price and land use efficiency is different in different coupling cities. In order to improve the regional land use efficiency and ease the contradiction of land use, we should make different management strategies based on the interaction between them.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the issues of physical experimental researches connected with the determination of the parameters of wave quenching when overflowing them through the superstructure of enclosing hydraulic structures (ENS) of incomplete vertical profile. The research was conducted in the hydrowave laboratory of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering of the Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture. The article presents partial results of experiments performed on ENS of incomplete vertical profile. The models were made on a geometric scale and were subjected to wave effects similar to the conditions of the natural section of the coast of the Odessa Bay in compliance with the criteria of similarity. The construction of new structures of enclosing hydraulic structures requires careful primary experimental research. These researches mostly often carried out on physical models in specialized hydrowave laboratories, allow to get rid of risks of financial losses at the wrong choice of types and elements of the designed objects. The carried out researches allow estimating with a high degree of reliability, according to scale conditions, physics of the processes proceeding on models which will also be observed at the operation of real construction. The physics of the process of hydrodynamic impact on hydraulic structures is often difficult to describe only with the help of a mathematical model, which confirms the high degree of importance of physical experiments. The progress of technical science largely depends on the ability to make more accurate measurements. High-precision measuring equipment was used in laboratory tests. This paper describes the method of conducting experiments that were performed on one physical model, under three different conditions of the location of the superstructure relative to the quiet level, as well as different values of the initial wave heights. The use of structures of incomplete vertical profile, in order to protect the waters of seaports, as well as elements of the coastal infrastructure of maritime cities will increase economic attractiveness by reducing financial costs, thanks to the reduction of the topside of the enclosing structures.

At production of stainless steel expensive alloying elements, containing nickel, are used. To decrease the steel cost, substitution of nickel during steel alloying process by its oxides is an actual task. Results of analysis of thermodynamic and experimental studies of nickel reducing from its oxide presented, as well as methods of nickel oxide obtaining at manganese bearing complex raw materials enrichment and practice of its application during steel alloying. Technology of comprehensive processing of complex manganese-containing raw materials considered, including leaching and selective extraction out of the solution valuable components: manganese, nickel, iron, cobalt and copper. Based on theoretical and experiment studies, a possibility of substitution of metal nickel by concentrates, obtained as a result of hydrometallurgical enrichment, was confirmed. Optimal technological parameters, ensuring high degree of nickel recovery out of the initial raw materials were determined. It was established, that for direct steel alloying it is reasonable to add into the charge pellets, consisting of nickel concentrate and coke fines, that enables to reach the through nickel recovery at a level of 90%. The proposed method of alloying steel by nickel gives a possibility to decrease considerably steel cost at the expense of application of nickel concentrate, obtained out of tails of hydrometallurgical enrichment of manganese-bearing raw materials, which is much cheaper comparing with the metal nickel.

Одним из основных требований к разработке экспериментальных моделей цереброваскулярных заболеваний является их максимальная приближенность к реальной клинической практике. В работе систематизированы данные по основным методам моделирования острой ишемии головного мозга (ОИГМ), представлена их классификация, анализируются данные о преимуществах и недостатках той или иной модели. Обсуждаются результаты экспериментальных исследований по изучению патогенеза ОИГМ с использованием различных моделей (полной и неполной глобальной, локальной и мультифокальной ишемии) и способов их реализации (перевязка артерий, клипирование, коагуляция, эмболизация и др.). Особое внимание уделяется «стабильности» последствий острого нарушения мозгового кровообращения: необратимых ишемических повреждений головного мозга или обратимых с реперфузией заданной продолжительности. Отмечается, что важное значение в этих исследованиях должно принадлежать современным методам прижизненной визуализации очагов острого ишемического повреждения, что позволяет оценивать динамику патологического процесса. Предлагаемый метод отвечает требованиям гуманного обращения с животными. Подчеркивается, что выбор релевантной модели ОИГМ определяется задачами предстоящего исследования и технологическими ресурсами научной лаборатории. Development of experimental models for acute forms of cerebrovascular diseases is essential for implementation of methods for their prevention and treatment. One of the principal requirements to such models is their maximum approximation to actual clinical practice. This review systematized major models of acute cerebral ischemia (ACI), their classification, and presented information about their advantages and shortcomings. Also, the review presented results of experimental studies on pathophysiological mechanisms of different types of modeled ACI (complete and incomplete global, local, and multifocal ischemia) and methods for creating these models (arterial ligation, clipping, coagulation, embolization, etc.). Particular attention was paid to “stability” of the consequences of acutely impaired cerebral circulation - an irreversible ischemic brain injury or a reversible injury with reperfusion of a given duration. The authors emphasized that in such studies, a special significance should be given to intravital imaging of acute ischemic damage foci using modern methods, which allow assessing the dynamics of the pathological process and meet the requirements to humane treatment of animals. The choice of a relevant ACI model is determined by objectives of the planned study and the technological resources available at the research laboratory.

This paper aims to elucidate the sliding scale between usufruct and ownership by applying a property rights framework to three Swedish forms of tenure in multifamily housing. The framework deconstructs the bundles of rights of rental, tenant-ownership and ownership to highlight commonalities and differences connected to the right to use and exclude, the right to transfer and the right to the value. It is concluded that the three tenure forms have many traits in common but that there are distinct differences in some areas, most notably in connection to the right to the value. The property rights framework applied in the study may be applicable also on a general level as a method to analyze and compare tenures of different types in different countries. Further, ways to improve the framework and cover more facets of outcomes of property rights patterns are suggested.

Rapid urbanization has provided a strong impetus for the economic growth of China, but it has also caused many problems such as inefficient urban land use and environmental pollution. With the popularization of the concept of green and sustainable development, the Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) assessment concept is widely accepted. The government and residents are paying more and more attention to environmental issues in urban development, and environmental protection has formed an important part of urban development. In this context, this study takes 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta as examples to build an evaluation system for urban land-use efficiency under green development orientation. The evaluation system takes into account the inputs of land, capital, labor, and energy factors in the process of urban development. Based on emphasizing economic output, the social benefits and undesired outputs brought about by urban development are taken into account. This paper measures urban land use efficiency by the super-efficiency SBM model, and on this basis, analyses the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of urban land-use efficiency. Further, this paper measures urban land use efficiency without considering undesired outputs and compares the two evaluation methods. Again, the comparison illustrates the rationality of urban land use efficiency evaluation system under green development orientation.

The construction and operation of high-speed rail (HSR) has become an important policy for China to achieve efficiency and fairness and promote high-quality economic growth. HSR promotes the flow of production factors such as labor and capital and affects economic growth, and may further affect urban land use efficiency (ULUE). To explore the impact of HSR on ULUE, this paper uses panel data of 284 cities in China from 2005 to 2018, and constructs Propensity Score Matching-Differences in Differences model to evaluate the effect of HSR on ULUE. The result of entire China demonstrates that the HSR could significantly improves the ULUE. Meanwhile, this paper also considers the heterogeneity of results caused by geographic location, urban levels and scales. It demonstrates that the HSR has a significantly positive effect on ULUE of Eastern, Central China, and large-sized cities. However, in Western China, in medium-sized, and small-sized cities, the impact of HSR on ULUE is not significant. This paper concludes that construction and operation of HSR should be linked to urban development planning and land use planning. Meanwhile, the cities with different geographical locations and scales should take advantage of HSR to improve ULUE and promote urban coordinated development.
