The relevance of the research topic is related to the generalization of the Soviet experience in formation and development of cosmophysical research in Yakutia over several decades, from the activities of weather stations to the creation of the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy of the Yakutsk Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The formation of the network of 23 stationary meteorological and upper-air stations and the Geophysical Observatory is disclosed. The first stage of the activity of these institutions was identified as of high practical importance in the development of aviation, gold mining industry on Aldan and Amur-Yakutsk highway construction.The second stage was characteristic by innovative developments of Yakut scientists as semiconductor devices for artificial Earth satellites, cameras for shooting auroras, and an ionization camera for continuous registration of cosmic rays, that received worldwide recognition. Study of radiation situation in near-Earth space during solar flares and high-altitude thermonuclear explosions testified, that Yakutia contributed to increasing of the country's defense capability. Particular attention is paid to the activities of the station on Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island of the Novosibirsk Islands, which served Arctic aviation flights and coastal navigation along the Northern Sea Route.

Abstract The Author endeavored to consult some of the Polish experts who deal with assessing and preventing outburst hazards as to their knowledge and experience. On the basis of this knowledge, an expert system, based on fuzzy logic, was created. The system allows automatic assessment of outburst hazard. The work was completed in two stages. The first stage involved researching relevant sources and rules concerning outburst hazard, and, subsequently, determining a number of parameters measured or observed in the mining industry that are potentially connected with the outburst phenomenon and can be useful when estimating outburst hazard. Then, the Author contacted selected experts who are actively involved in preventing outburst hazard, both in the industry and science field. The experts were anonymously surveyed, which made it possible to select the parameters which are the most essential in assessing outburst hazard. The second stage involved gaining knowledge from the experts by means of a questionnaire-interview. Subjective opinions on estimating outburst hazard on the basis of the parameters selected during the first stage were then systematized using the structures typical of the expert system based on fuzzy logic.

Abstract The paper presents the analysis of the phenomenon of horizontal displacement of surface induced by underground mining exploitation. In the initial part, the basic theories describing horizontal displacement are discussed, followed by three illustrative examples of underground exploitation in varied mining conditions. It is argued that center of gravity (COG) method presented in the paper, hypothesis of Awierszyn and model studies carried out in Strata Mechanics Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences indicate the proportionality between vectors of horizontal displacement and the vector of surface slope. The differences practically relate to the value of proportionality coefficient B, whose estimated values in currently realized design projects for mining industry range between 0.23r to 0.42r for deep exploitations, whereas in the present article the values of 0.33r and 0.47r were obtained for two instances of shallow exploitation. Furthermore, observations on changes of horizontal displacement vectors with face advancement indicated the possibility of existence of COG zones above the mined-out field, which proved the conclusions of hitherto carried out research studies (Tajduś 2013).

ABSTRACT Short-term rapid depressions in Galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux, historically referred to as Forbush decreases (FDs), have long been recognized as important events in the observation of cosmic ray (CR) activity. Although theories and empirical results on the causes, characteristics, and varieties of FDs have been well established, detection of FDs, from either isolated detectors' or arrays of neutron monitor data, remains a subject of interest. Efforts to create large catalogues of FDs began in the 1990s and have continued to the present. In an attempt to test some of the proposed CR theories, several analyses have been conducted based on the available lists. Nevertheless, the results obtained depend on the FD catalogues used. This suggests a need for an examination of consistency between FD catalogues. This is the aim of the present study. Some existing lists of FDs, as well as FD catalogues developed in the current work, were compared, with an emphasis on the FD catalogues selected by the global survey method (GSM). The Forbush effects and interplanetary disturbances database (FEID), created by the Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation Russian Academy of Sciences (IZMIRAN), is the only available comprehensive and up to date FD catalogue. While there are significant disparities between the IZMIRAN FD and other event lists, there is a beautiful agreement between FDs identified in the current work and those in the FEID. This may be a pointer to the efficiency of the GSM and the automated approach to FD event detection presented here.

A comprehensive analysis of waveforms of seismic and infrasonic vibrations from the earthquake that occurred on December 5, 2014, in the water area of Lake Hovsgol was performed. The analysis showed that the infrasonic signal recorded at the Tory station (Geophysical Observatory of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences) was formed by the sources of three generation types: local, secondary, and epicentral. The obtained results allow us to propose the model of epicentral infrasonic signal generation by flexural waves from an elastic ice membrane on the surface of Lake Hovsgol.

Abstract. Quasi-periodic variations in solar activity and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) on decadal and bidecadal timescales have been suggested as a climate forcing mechanism for many regions on Earth. One of these regions is southern Brazil, where the lowest values during the last century were observed for the total geomagnetic field intensity at the Earth's surface. These low values are due to the passage of the center of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA), which crosses the Brazilian territory from east to west following a latitude of ∼ 26∘. In areas with low geomagnetic intensity, such as the SAMA, the incidence of GCRs is increased. Consequently, possible climatic effects related to the GCRs tend to be maximized in this region. In this work, we investigate the relationship between the ∼ 11-year and ∼ 22-year cycles that are related to solar activity and GCRs and the annual average temperature recorded between 1936 and 2014 at two weather stations, both located near a latitude of 26∘ S but at different longitudes. The first of these stations (Torres – TOR) is located in the coastal region, and the other (Iraí – IRA) is located in the interior, around 450 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Sunspot data and the solar modulation potential for cosmic rays were used as proxies for the solar activity and the GCRs, respectively. Our investigation of the influence of decadal and bidecadal cycles in temperature data was carried out using the wavelet transform coherence (WTC) spectrum. The results indicate that periodicities of 11 years may have continuously modulated the climate at TOR via a nonlinear mechanism, while at IRA, the effects of this 11-year modulation period were intermittent. Four temperature maxima, separated by around 20 years, were detected in the same years at both weather stations. These temperature maxima are almost coincident with the maxima of the odd solar cycles. Furthermore, these maxima occur after transitions from even to odd solar cycles, that is, after some years of intense GCR flux. The obtained results offer indirect mathematical evidence that solar activity and GCR variations contributed to climatic changes in southern Brazil during the last century. A comparison of the results obtained for the two weather stations indicates that the SAMA also contributes indirectly to these temperature variations. The contribution of other mechanisms also related to solar activity cannot be excluded. Keywords. Meteorology and atmospheric dynamics (climatology)

E. E. Golubinsky, one of the most prominent natives of the Kostroma land, the largest historian of the Russian Orthodox Church, the first of the professors of the Moscow Theological Academy, elected as an ordinary academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. Through the prism of the milestones of the historian’s biography, the article examines the general trends in the socio-cultural development of Russia in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries The specific features in the culture of everyday life of the Orthodox clergy are analyzed, the problem field of church educational institutions is structured, the portrait characteristic of the theological and academic corporation is personalized, its role in the historical and cultural development of Russian society is revealed. The amazing fate of E. E. Golubinsky, his intellectual honesty, commitment to the religious, moral and institutional reorganization of the historical church are updated in the context of contemporary problems of Russian education and society as a whole. The problematic connotations in the development of theological and academic corporations are revealed — the lack of a single intellectual and spiritual space in their coexistence, a certain disconnectedness of their position in the socio-cultural development of society, the need to deepen their interaction with representatives of secular intelligentsia. The necessary consequence of the synergy of scientific knowledge and spiritual faith is the construction of the Orthodox philosophy of history, which in the context of the crisis that is being experienced today, essential discourse is of practical importance in the inevitability of dialogue and the inevitability of creative transformation of personality in the modern world.

The article presents the results of a study of the process of material grinding in roller aggregates with various kinematic features. As the object of research, the design of a vibroroller unit is selected, which has great prospects for use in production. A characteristic feature of this unit is a significant influence on the grinding process of inertia forces. As the main method of research in relation to the movement of the working bodies of the roller and vibroroller shredder and the crushed material, a method of modeling is adopted. It is presented an approximate analysis of the interaction of the crushed material in roll units with rolls. The crushed material is modeled by a set of horizontal elementary layers. At the first stage, the material is crushed in rolls with constant kinematic parameters. Analytical dependencies of the roll pressure on the material are established. At the second stage, the grinding of materials in a vibroroller shredder is considered. A distinctive feature of the vibroroller shredder is the presence of an eccentrically installed roll. The variant is presented when the eccentric performs a curvilinear translational motion, and the roll performs harmonic fluctuation (vibrations) along the coordinate axes with an amplitude of e. The resulting inertia forces and oscillatory motions of the roll are considered. The analysis of the total force in the unit under consideration, which makes it possible to implement crushing-shear and vibration effects on the crushed material, is carried out. The force interaction of the roll with the material is described by two systems of forces: the elastic forces resulting from the contraction of the model layers according to Hooke’s law, and the forces caused by the vibration of the roll (inertia forces). The results obtained are of practical importance in the design of roller units and vibration equipment, as well as for the analysis of the operation of such designs of grinders.

Response of magnetospheric oscillatory systems in the ultra-low-frequency (ULF) range on electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal, and chemical impulse action are overviewed and selectively analyzed. Impulses can occur both inside the magnetosphere (e.g. explosion in the geomagnetic tail, impulsive injection of energetic particles) and outside (e.g. solar flare, interplanetary shock wave, thunderstorm discharge, earthquake, volcanic eruption etc.). We suggest systematics of impulses which is based on geophysics and space physics data and is closely related to the theory of ULF oscillations. The systematics is of cognitive and practical importance, and it allows us to interpret a rich variety of responses of the magnetosphere to impulses of the terrestrial and space origins. The classification principle is selected according to which an impulse type is determined from two criteria such as impulse origin location and character of impulse action on one or another oscillatory system of the magnetosphere. The primary conditions for completeness and validity of division are fulfilled because all possible terms of putting impulses to classes, types and forms are specified, and the terms do not overlap. The classification and introduced nomenclature are helpful because they make possible to systematize common properties and specific features of types and forms of impulses. This is especially important with regard to reaction of the Earth’s plasma sheaths to impulses generated during an earthquake preparation as well as under experimental study of dynamic processes in the near-Earth space. The examples of response of ULF oscillations to impulsive actions are shown. The particular focus is given to review of studies which still are not mentioned in reviews and monographies.

The paper considers the reducing of the near-Earth space debris due to the stages discharge into the Earth’s atmosphere, introduces the solution for optimizing the impulse transfer between the artificial Earth satellite reference circular orbit and the target elliptical orbit with a phase constraint on the maximum distance of the spacecraft from the Earth. A specially developed numerical-analytical differentiation technology allows us to calculate derivatives under the transversality of Lagrange principle. The paper proposes the transversality and stationarity conditions analysis, which results in the conclusion that the Beletsky — Egorov — Pines integral, and the Hamiltonian are continuous in the moments of all intermediate impulse actions application, including the stage discharge moments. The paper shows that the problem solution for various flight schemes coincides with a similar one without a priori assumption about the impulse effects apsidal nature.
