Technological Analysis

Despite the urgent need to accelerate the development of intensive forest management and reforestation technologies in Russia, the problem of creating progressive technologies and techniques to increase the efficiency of reforestation by seedlings and saplings of forest crops has not been completely resolved, which are serious challenges for accelerated and high-quality reforestation. Of particular concern is the lack of patented equipment competitive in the domestic and foreign markets for reforestation by seedlings and saplings of forest crops that can accelerate the creation of highly productive forests. To answer these challenges, it is proposed as a tool for the synthesis of patentable solutions that increase the efficiency of forest regeneration by seedlings and saplings of forest crops, to use the knowledge base formed on the basis of patent information search and the author’s methodology of functional, structural and technological analysis. A classification of the main areas of patenting in this area is proposed. The most characteristic patented objects of technologies and equipment that can be used as analogues and prototypes for the synthesis and patenting of new intellectual property for planting seedlings/saplings, as well as business entities patenting in this area, are identified. The effects (goals) for the achievement of which the technical solutions incorporated in the patents are directed are revealed. Using the generated knowledge base and the FSTA methodology, a synthesis of new patentable technical solutions has been carried out. Its features and some results are given on the example of several basic objects of machines and manual devices for planting seedlings/saplings. It is proved that the application of the proposed methodology to the selected object for improving the processes of planting seedlings/saplings is effective, which is confirmed by the development and patenting of fundamentally new technical solutions for equipping forest regeneration with seedlings and saplings of forest crops.

Technological Analysis

The forest complex of the Russian Federation undergoes a transition from extensive model of harvesting and forestry to the intensive one. Such a transition requires a quality forest and technological preparation of forest areas for logging operations. The key basic material for such preparation is the assessment of qualitative and quantitative indicators of stands of forest resources of forest enterprises, which includes the assessment of stand age structure, growth course of different wood species, stand qualitative structure and a number of other inventory indicators. The need to enhance the quality of forest and technological preparation of forest areas necessitates the raise of requirements for inventory instruments. In this regards, over the last years there has been increased attention of researchers and developers to the elaboration of existing and development of new types of inventory instruments. Their development based on the fundamentally new patented technological and technical solutions which is the principal indicator of the level of these intellectual property objects. The authors develop the patentable objects of intellectual property on the basis of methodology of functional and technological analysis and synthesis of new technical solutions applying the built knowledge bases on improved or newly created objects of technology based on the expanded patent-information search. Considering the example of inventory instruments (increment borers and tree caliper), the effectiveness of knowledge base use with application of the functional and technological analysis as

In this article we discuss the approach to information extraction (IE) using neural language models. We provide a detailed overview of modern IE methods: both supervised and unsupervised. The proposed method allows to achieve a high quality solution to the problem of analyzing the relevant labor market requirements without the need for a time-consuming labelling procedure. In this experiment, professional standards act as a knowledge base of the labor domain. Comparing the descriptions of work actions and requirements from professional standards with the elements of job listings, we extract four entity types. The approach is based on the classification of vector representations of texts, generated using various neural language models: averaged word2vec, SIF-weighted averaged word2vec, TF-IDF-weighted averaged word2vec, paragraph2vec. Experimentally, the best quality was shown by the averaged word2vec (CBOW) model.

Feeding Systems

Effective application of slag-forming mixtures (SFM), being fed into continuous castingg machine (CCM) moulds, depends on their even distribution on the melt surface. Manual feeding of the SFM which is widely usedd does not provide this condition, resulting in the necessity to actualize the work to elaborate systems of SFM mechanized feedingg into moulds of various types CCM. A concept of the designing of a system of SFM feeding into CCM moulds presented with the ratte strictly correspondent to the casting speed and providing formation of an even layer of fine material of given thickness on the whoole surface of liquid steel. The proposed methods of designing of the SFM mechanized feeding systems based on three-dimensional computer simulation with the subsequent verification of the correctness of the adopted technical solutions on field samples. Informattion is presented on the design features of the adjusted facilities intended for continuous supply of finely granulated and powder mixtuures on metal mirror in moulds at the production of high-quality billets, blooms and slabs. Variants of mechanical and pneumo-mechaanical SFM supply elaborated. At the mechanical supply the fine material from the feeding hopper is moved at a adjusted distance bby a rigid horizontally located screw. At the pneumo-mechanical supply the metered doze of the granular mixture is delivered by a sshort vertical screw, the lower part of which is located in the mixing chamber attached from below to the hopper and equipped with ann ejector serving for pneumatic supply of the SFM in a stream of transporting gas. It was proposed to use flexible spiral screws in the ffuture facilities of mechanical SFM feeding. It will enable to eliminate the restrictions stipulated by the lack of free surface for locatiion of the facility in the working zone of the tundish, as well as to decrease significantly the mass of its movable part and to decreaase the necessary power of the carriage moving mechanism driver. The novelty of the proposed technical solutions is protected by thhree patents. The reduction of 10–15% in the consumption of slag-forming mixtures during the transition from manual to mechanizeed feeding confirmed. The resulting economic effect from the implementation of technical development enables to recoup the costs inncurred within 8–10 months.

Unexpected Infant Death

Recent evidence indicates that with thorough, high quality death investigations and autopsies, forensic pathologists have recognized that many unexpected infant deaths are, in fact, asphyxial in nature. With this recognition has come a commensurate decrease in, and in some cases, abolition of, the label “sudden infant death syndrome” (SIDS). Current controversies often pertain to how and why some infant deaths are determined to be asphyxial in nature and whether or not apparent asphyxial circumstances are risk factors for SIDS, or rather, harbingers of asphyxial deaths. In an effort to sidestep these controversies, some forensic pathologists elected to instead use the noncommittal label “sudden unexpected infant death” (SUID), leading to the unfortunate consequence of SUID – like SIDS – gaining notoriety as an actual disease that could be diagnosed, studied, and ultimately cured. Although it is not possible to provide death certification guidance for every conceivable type of unexpected infant death, we recognize and propose a simple classification system for overarching themes that cover the vast majority of cases where infants die suddenly and unexpectedly.

The article is devoted to the study of problems in the field of economic security of the enterprise. The essences of the concepts «danger» and «threat» are analyzed, their main properties are determined. The main types of danger are identified, according to the magnitude of the possible consequences. The main types of hazards include «warning», which has the following characteristics. They are: set of circumstances that have developed in the enterprise, to which it is necessary to react. The peculiarities of the evolution of threats have been studied. The actuall scheme of evolution of threats has been built, considering the concepts of «risk», «danger» and «threat». The classification of economic threats and risks according to the main features (by area of distribution and objects of influence) as components of economic security of the enterprise are formed. The main causes of economic threats have been identified. They are: insufficient adaptation of individual business entities to dynamic and constantly changing market conditions; general insolvency of business entities; growing crime; low level of labor discipline and responsibility of employees of enterprises, insufficient legal regulation of some activities; as well as low professional level of a significant part of the management and employees of the enterprise. It is determined that the causes of physical threats are: inefficient personnel policy of business entities, low professional training, insufficient level of security of enterprises, banks, low control over the work process of employees. The causes of intellectual threats are studied. They are first of all inefficient personnel policy of the enterprise, secondly, violation of non-disclosure agreements and the principle of publicity of results, then, intensification of competition in the markets along with low level of information security or its absence. It is proposed that in order to effectively ensure the economic security of the enterprise, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the presence of various threats, risks and dangers and try to minimize their impact in time.

ABSTRACTThe diatom, Cyclotella cryptica, is a well-established experimental model for physiological studies and, more recently, biotechnology applications of diatoms. To further facilitate its use as a model diatom species, we report an improved reference genome assembly and annotation for C. cryptica strain CCMP332. We used a combination of long- and short-read sequencing to assemble a high-quality and contaminant-free genome. The genome is 171 Mb in size and consists of 662 scaffolds with a scaffold N50 of 494 kb. This represents a 176-fold decrease in scaffold number and 41-fold increase in scaffold N50 compared to the previous assembly. The genome contains 21,250 predicted genes, 75% of which were assigned putative functions. Repetitive DNA comprises 59% of the genome, and an improved classification of repetitive elements indicated that a historically steady accumulation of transposable elements has contributed to the relatively large size of the C. cryptica genome. The high-quality C. cryptica genome will serve as a valuable reference for ecological, genetic, and biotechnology studies of diatoms.Data available fromNCBI BioProjects PRJNA628076 and PRJNA589195

Background and Purpose: NINDS Stroke Genetics Network (SiGN) is an international consortium of ischemic stroke studies that aims to generate high quality phenotype data to identify the genetic basis of ischemic stroke subtypes. The goal of this analysis is to characterize the etiopathogenetic basis of ischemic stroke in the consortium. Methods: This analysis included 16,954 subjects with imaging-confirmed ischemic stroke from 12 US studies and 11 studies from 8 European countries. 52 trained and certified adjudicators used the web-based Causative Classification of Stroke System for etiologic stroke classification through chart reviews to determine both phenotypic (abnormal test findings categorized in major etiologic groups without weighting towards the most likely cause in the presence of multiple etiologies) and causative subtypes in each subject. Classification reliability was assessed with blinded re-adjudication of 1509 randomly selected cases. Findings: The figure shows the distribution of etiologic categories. Overall, only 40% to 54% of cases with a given major ischemic stroke etiology (phenotypic subtype) were classified into the same final causative category with high confidence. There was good agreement for both causative (kappa 0·72, 95%CI:0·69-0·75) and phenotypic classifications (kappa 0·73, 95%CI:0·70-0·75). Conclusions: This study provides high quality data on etiologic stroke subtypes and demonstrates that etiologic subtypes can be determined with good reliability in studies that include investigators with different expertise and background, institutions with different stroke evaluation protocols and geographic location, and patient populations with different epidemiological characteristics. The discordance between phenotypic and causative stroke subtypes suggests that the presence of an abnormality in a stroke patient does not necessarily mean that it is the cause of stroke.
