Keywords: гнездящиеся лесные птицы, площадь местообитания, емкость местообитания, пространственная структура популяции, оценка экологического состояния, forest-nesting birds, area of habitat, carrying capacity of habitat, spatial structure of population, estimation of ecological status, Passeriformes, Piciformes

Abstract >>
A 13-year study of forest-nesting birds (orders Passeriformes and Piciformes) was conducted at five constant census areas in European Russia, the Caucasus and mountains of Southern Siberia. Nesting individuals were mapped at each census area during two or more nesting periods. Nesting densities for each species were estimated. The raster maps of spatial allocation (MSA) at the scale 50 x 50 m of the raster grid were obtained for each species. The degree of spatial conservatism (DSC) for each local population was inferred from the pairwise comparisons of the specific MSAs obtained in the same area in different years with the use of the Gamma rank correlation method. This index characterizes connection between the population and the habitat. Based on 5-year observations in the particular census area, the areas of habitats were estimated and mean DSC values were obtained for each of 18 model species. Using the model Y = 117 - 103.5 X ( Y area of habitat, X DSC; R = 0.84, p < 0.01) it was demonstrated that (axis Y ) and the mean estimates of DSC (axis X ) were calculated by the five-year rows on one experimental plot for 18 bird species. With the help of the model ( Y = 117 - 103.5 X ; R = 0.84 p < 0.01), it is shown: under conditions of almost complete saturation, when population uses almost entire area of available habitats and maximum carrying capacity of habitat is almost achieved, the total area occupied by the individual nesting home ranges of the particular species is in an inverse linear relation from DSC estimates. Based on this model, it is possible to calculate the maximum carrying capacity of habitat for each species from its DSC value. Maximum nesting density for each species in the particular census area was calculated based on its DSC values and mean size of its nesting home range. The ratio between observed and maximum nesting densities allowed to estimate the degree of saturation of carrying capacity of habitat and the population status of the particular species under different environmental conditions.

Abstract >>
In the last years, in the Northern Pre-Urals there have been significant changes in the population dynamics of forest voles. In the foothill area the abundance of red vole decreased, and that of bank vole increased significantly, as a result of which there was the change of dominant species. In the nearby lowland areas abundance of the bank vole population remained stable, and that of the red vole increased. The main reason of these changes was the transformation of the environment under the influence of global climate change. Most of all it affected the coniferous forests of the foothills and less - the forest lowlands. As a consequence, response of the various species of voles to these changes in different landscape areas were non-identical.

Abstract >>
A comparative study of movement activity and anxiety in the “open field” tests was conducted on the subadult flat-headed and Tuva silver voles using arenas of two diameters of 50 and 63 cm. It was found that the diameter of the arena influenced features of movement in the test conditions. At the arena of larger diameter, individuals of both species had a higher speed of movement and passed a larger distance both in general and on the periphery. Also only at the larger arenas subadult flat-headed voles showed more mobility and probably were less anxious in the test conditions compared to Tuva silver voles. Hypotheses were proposed about the peculiarities of the ecology of these species reflected in their behavior.

Abstract >>
We studied fatty acid (FA) composition and content of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in biomass of larvae and adults of Chironomidae species that dominated in benthos of saline Lake Shira: Glyptotendiрes barbiрes, Сhironomus nigrifrons and C. halophilus. Species of different genera significantly differed in their larvae FA composition and essential PUFA content; and they also occupied different ecological niches in the lake. Chironomus species with low PUFA content, 0.2-0.3 mg x g-1 of wet weight, inhabited a deepwater zone, while G. barbiрes that was rich in PUFA, 2.3 mg x g-1 of wet weight, dwelt in littoral of the lake. The biochemical differences were likely related with feeding sources of these taxa and may also be explained by the phylogenetic factor. We did not find differences in the PUFA content of larvae and adults of the same species, G. barbiрes. This finding contrasted with previous data that were based on multispecies samples and showed a substantial increase of PUFA content in adult biomass due to the metamorphosis. Thus, data on biochemical content of larvae can potentially be used in calculations of PUFA fluxes from water to land through chironomid emergence from water bodies. However, taxonomic affiliation of the emerged chironomids should be considered due to high variability in PUFA content in Chironomidae species.

Abstract >>
In 2009-2013, we studied the seasonal dynamics of the feeding spectrum and diet of grayling in a stretch of the middle reaches of the Yenisei River (from the dam of Krasnoyarsk Hydro-Electric Plant to the Kan River mouth) and traced its connection with the state of food supply and fish growth. It was shown that the intensity of fish nutrition was relatively stable throughout the year, despite significant fluctuations in zoobenthos biomass. The contribution of groups that were dominant in the diet - amphipods and larvae of caddis flies - changed depending on the month. Amphipods dominated in the diet of fish in the period from June to October, caddis flies - in the winter and spring months. Among caddis flies, a certain small species Apatania crymophila was consumed. The change of the primary diet component during the summer period corresponds to a sharp increase in the coefficients of relative condition factors, with a peak in August and September. It is assumed that the change in the rate of fish biomass accumulation is associated not only with an increase in water temperature, but also with switching of grayling to consumption of nutritionally more valuable amphipods.

Keywords: насекомые, верховые болота, травяно-кустарничковый ярус, таксономический состав, видовое разнообразие, Беларусь, insects, peat bogs, herb-shrub layer, taxonomic composition, diversity, Belarus

Abstract >>
Study of the species composition and diversity of insect communities in herb-shrub layer was conducted. Three hundred seventy four species from 10 orders were revealed. Coleoptera, Diрtera, Heteroptera and Auchenorrhyncha predominated. From 2 to 8 species prevailed in each order. These were Cixius similis Kirschbaum, 1868 , Neophilaenus lineatus (Linnаeus, 1758) , Lepyronia coleoptrata (Linnаeus, 1758) (Auchenorrhyncha), Lygus pratensis (Linnаeus, 1758) , Kleidocerys resedae (Panzer, 1797) , Stictopleurus crassicornis (Linnаeus, 1758) (Heteroptera), Lochmaea suturalis (Thomson, 1866) , Cyphon padi (Linnаeus, 1758) , and Plateumaris discolor (Herbst, 1795) (Coleoptera). The communities had a low species diversity and distribution of species by abundance. The most similar were insect complexes of habitats with herbs as well as habitats with predominant of dwart shrubs. A regression analysis showed a significant relation between species richness and diversity of insects and species composition of plants and their projective cover degree. Various methods of multivariant analysis (CCA and PCA) demonstrated the influence of these еnvironment variables on the spatial distribution of concrete species and their preferences of certain habitats.

Abstract >>
A cytogenetic analysis of the seed progeny of Pinus sylvestris L. trees growing in the Voronezh Oblast during differing weather conditions (optimal and drought) was performed. It was established that in the years of drought frequency of mitosis pathologies level increased, but did not go beyond the norm. The spectrum of pathologies in these years is expanded, but should be assumed that some of them may contribute to the reallocation of genetic material between chromosomes, that in turn would expand the range of reaction norm of the organism, thereby improving its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

Abstract >>
Functionality of soil food webs after forest fires remains generally unexplored. We address this question by studying both burnt and unburnt spruce forests in Central European Russia (Tver Region). In August 2014 we sampled two spatially distant blocks consisting of forest areas burnt in 2010 and the respective unburnt controls. We analyzed biomass and structure of soil food webs as well as carbon mobilization with respect to carbon stocks in the dead wood, litter and soil after burning. The biomass of soil fauna was moderately reduced in the burnt plots. For some groups like testate amoebae and enchytraeids, however, this decrease was highly significant and corresponded with the decreased C-stock in litter. For the other taxa changes in biomass were insignificant. At the same time C-flow through the soil food web after fire was strongly reduced mainly due to the reduction of biomass of active fungi and secondary decomposers. The overall consumption rate of detritus by the soil food web strongly decreased in the burnt forests and was maintained predominantly by the decomposition activity of bacteria instead of fungi. This resulted in the reduction of the total soil food web functionality related with C-mobilization in the forests four years after a fire event.

Abstract >>
The effect of plant extracts on susceptibility of several insect’ species to enthomopathogenic microorganisms has been studied. We found that greater wax moth Galleria mellonella weight decreased by 30-50 % under polar and nonpolar extracts of ledum and reindeer lichen treatments. Сrude extract of hemlock enhanced growth rate of larvae by 30 %. Treatment with extract of reindeer lichen led to synergy with virus in gypsy moth Lymantria dispar mortality and with fungal infection in wax moth mortality. It has been established that the main components of the extract are perlatolikovy acid, usnic acid, and also the third component of unknown chemical group. Usnic acid is the main promising additive component to entomopathogenic microorganisms. Treatment by usnic acid led to increase of both colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata and greater wax moth larvae mortality after infection with entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassianа. The maximum effect was shown only with whole extract because of summation of action of each of extract components, or for the reason that components could change the properties in presence of other components of the whole extract.

Abstract >>
Foothill plains along the northwest periphery of the Altai-Sayan mountain area are the northern limit of stony substrates in the West Siberia longitudinal sector. Rock outcrops in this area are rare; their yardage usually does not exceed a few tens of square meters. Despite negligible areas, the rocky outcrops keep nearly half of the foothill moss flora. Twenty six from recorded on rock outcrops of the foothill plaints moss species (22 %) are rare both in West Siberia and in neighboring south mountains. An annotated list of species is given. The features of the species distribution in the longitudinal sector of West Siberia are discussed.

Abstract >>
Changes of vegetation properties (biogeochemical, morphological, floristic, phytocenotic) around Sibay chalcopyrite deposits were studied. Areas at different distances from mining facilities were investigated. Heavy metal (HM) content was measured in geographical components: soils, waters, bottom sediments, above-ground vegetation and several plant species ( Artemisia austriaca Salvia stepposa , Thymus marschallianus , Veronica incanа , Caraganа frutex , Phlomis tuberosa , Achilea setacea , Galium verum , Phragmites australis . Groups (pleiads) of species based on interspecific contingency coefficient were identified. The clusters represented ecological conditions and level of anthropogenic stress. The set of features for evaluation of transformation of natural territorial complexes by means of phytoindication was proposed.

Pages: 325–338
Abstract >>
Dynamics of a disperse phase in a swirling two-phase flow behind a sudden tube expansion is simulated with the aid of Eulerian and full Lagrangian descriptions. The carrier phase is described by three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations with consideration of inverse influence of particles on the transport processes in gas. The velocity profiles calculated using these two approaches are practically the same. It is shown that the main difference between the Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches is presented by the concentration profile of the dispersed phase. The Eulerian approach underpredicts the value of particle concentration as compared with the Lagrangian approach (the difference reaches 15-20 %). The dispersed phase concentration predicted by the Lagrangian approach agrees with the measurement data somewhat better than the data obtained through the Eulerian approach.

Abstract >>
The Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique and laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) were used to measure the components of tangential and axial velocities of gas and particles in a vortex chamber with a fluidized bed, particle layer dynamics was estimated qualitatively, and the flow in the vortex chamber with a centrifugal fluidized bed of solid particles was simulated numerically. It is shown that with the growth of gas velocity in the swirler slots, the rotation velocity of bed grows almost linearly, and with an increasing bed mass, the rotation velocity decreases. Data on distributions of the volume fraction of particles and gas flow velocity inside the bed were obtained by numerical calculation.

Using planar optical methods based on laser-induced fluorescence and particle image velocimetry instantaneous velocity fields and passive tracer concentration are measured simultaneously in a model of GT-combustor at realistic flow rates. Spatial distributions of velocity pulsations and passive tracer concentration pulsations are measured at air flow rate about 0.4 kg/s. Correlations of velocity and concentration pulsations are measured. The most intense turbulent mass flux in the region of swirling flow mixing layer was observed. The contribution of advective and turbulent components in the transfer of a passive tracer in the axial direction was estimated.

Pages: 361–368
Abstract >>
The plane nonlinear initial boundary value problem about the separated flow past a plate set in motion at a constant velocity from the state of rest has been considered. Results of a numerical experiment which have allowed us to trace in detail the vortex-wake formation process behind a vertical plate are reported. It is shown that, after the beginning of the plate motion, several stable vortical structures, including a Karman street, form in succession behind the plate. It is found that, on the emergence of the Karman street, there occurs a sharp and substantial growth of vortex-wake intensity and hydrodynamic drag force with a pulsating time behavior. A conclusion about the origination, in this regime, of self-sustained oscillations of the liquid in the vicinity of the plate is drawn.

Abstract >>
The work presents the results of an analysis of starting conditions for some frontal axisymmetric inlets of internal compression tested at freestream Mach numbers М = 3-8.4 in the hot-shot wind tunnels based at Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM). The results of these inlets test are compared with the data of numerical computations of inviscid, laminar, and turbulent flows carried out by the pseudo-unsteady method. There were determined the inlet throat areas limiting either with regard to the inlet starting or with regard to providing the maximally possible degree of geometric compression of the inlet-captured supersonic airstream at its deceleration in the already started inlet. Reshaping of computed flow patterns in the inlets depending on the variation of the mini-mal cross section of the inlet internal duct is analyzed.

Abstract >>
The method has been developed to calculate infrared radiation of vibrational nonequilibrium gas based on k-distribution. A comparison of the data on the calculated nonequilibrium radiation with results of other authors and with experimental data has shown satisfactory agreement. It is shown that the results of calculation of radiation intensity using nonequilibrium and equilibrium methods significantly differ from each other. The discrepancy increases with increasing height (decreasing pressure) and can exceed an order of magnitude.

Abstract >>
The results of the numerical and experimental investigations of the evolution of the disturbances in a hypersonic shock layer on a flat plate streamlined by a flow of the mixture of vibrationally excited gases are presented. The experimental study was conducted in the hot-shot high-enthalpy wind tunnel IT-302 of the ITAM SB RAS. The numerical simulation was carried out with the aid of the ANSYS Fluent package using the solution of the unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with the incorporation of the user-created modules and enabling the con-sideration of the vibrational non-equilibrium of the carbon dioxide molecules within the framework of the model of the two-temperature aerodynamics. It was obtained that an increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in the mixture with air leads to a reduction of the intensity of pressure disturbances on the surface. The efficiency (up to 20 %) of the method of sound absorbing coatings in the vibrationally excited flows of the mixture of the carbon dioxide and air has been shown.

Abstract >>
Results of a numerical study of performance characteristics of supersonic ejectors with nozzles of different types are reported. The work was carried out with the aim of developing a high-performance ejector for pressure recovery systems of supersonic chemical lasers. A specific feature of the operation of ejectors in pressure recovery systems consists in that, in this case, the ejecting and ejected gases, as they undergo mixing, have different thermodyna­mic properties, and the ejection coefficient depends on the ratio between the temperatures of the gases and on the ratio of their molecular masses. Since the operation of an ejector is based on the mixing process, the task consisted in intensification of this process using nozzles of special geometries. The performance of ejectors was judged considering an integral parameter, the product of induction by compression ratio. The calculations of the 3D viscous gas flow in the ejector channel were performed using ANSYS software. In verifying the numerical model, a comparison with experimental data obtained earlier on a model ejector facility and during tests of real pressure recovery systems in operation with supersonic chemical lasers was performed.

Abstract >>
A class of flowing medium gas lasers with low generator pressures employ supersonic flows with low cavity pressure and are primarily categorized as high throughput systems capable of being scaled up to MW class. These include; Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) and Hydrogen (Deuterium) Fluoride (HF/DF). The practicability of such laser systems for various applications is enhanced by exhausting the effluents directly to ambient atmosphere. Consequently, ejector based pressure recovery forms a potent configuration for open cycle operation. Conventionally these gas laser systems require at least two ejector stages with low pressure stage being more critical, since it directly entrains the laser media, and the ensuing perturbation of cavity flow, if any, may affect laser operation. Hence, the choice of plausible motive gas injection schemes viz., peripheral or central is a fluid dynamic issue of interest, and a parametric experimental performance comparison would be beneficial. Thus, the focus is to experimentally characterize the effect of variation in motive gas supply pressure, entrainment ratio, back pressure conditions, nozzle injection position operated together with a COIL device and discern the reasons for the behavior.

Pages: 469–482
Abstract >>
The flow field passing through a highly loaded low pressure (LP) turbine cascade is numerically investigated at design and off-design conditions. The Field Operation And Manipulation (OpenFOAM) platform is used as the computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool. In this regard, the influences of grid resolution on the results of k-ε, k-ω, and large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulence models are investigated and compared with those of experimental measurements. A numerical pressure undershoot is appeared near the end of blade pressure surface which is sensitive to grid resolution and flow turbulence modeling. The LES model is able to resolve separation on both coarse and fine grid resolutions. In addition, the off-design flow condition is modeled by negative and positive inflow incidence angles. The numerical experiments show that a separation bubble generated on blade pressure side is predicted by LES. The total pressure drop has also been calculated at incidence angles between -20° and +8°. The minimum total pressure drop is obtained by k-ω and LES at design point.

Pages: 483– 491
Abstract >>
The objects of study are the gas turbine (GT) plant and combined cycle power plant (CCPP) with opportunity for injection between the stages of air compressor. The objective of this paper is technical and economy optimization calculations for these classes of plants with water interstage injection. The integrated development environment “System of machine building program” was a tool for creating the mathematic models for these classes of power plants. Optimization calculations with the criterion of minimum for specific capital investment as a function of the unit efficiency have been carried out. For a gas-turbine plant, the economic gain from water injection exists for entire range of power efficiency. For the combined cycle plant, the economic benefit was observed only for a certain range of plant’s power efficiency.

Abstract >>
The authors consider variants of multipurpose use of plant materials-ground green mass of Sosnovsky cow-parsnip. Simultaneous production of aqueous extract possessing depression properties and after-extraction solid residue being a sorbent for ions of gold and finely dispersed gold-bearing particles is one of the ways toward the reduction in cost and environmental impacts of flotation of gold-containing products. The SEM and UV spectrophotomery shows sorption activity of solid residue of cow-parsnip relative to Au3+ ions. It is demonstrated that the studied vegetable sorbent is applicable to additional recovery of finely dispersed gold from flotation pulp. The introduction of cow-parsnip instead of xanthogen in treatment of tailings has enhanced efficiency of fine gold recovery.

Abstract >>
The article shows predictability of change in energy content and reactive capacity of standard wolframite concentrate after mechanical activation based on the data of X-ray structure analysis during later-on low-temperature (under 100 °С) alkali leaching. It is confirmed that the quantity of energy accumulated during mechanical activation as surface energy and microstrains influences efficiency of the later-on leaching. The authors derive a relation to calculate wolframite leaching recovery depending on structural change energy, initial coarseness and leaching regimes. The method of preliminary mechanical activation of wolframite and the process efficiency criteria offer conditions for energy-saving wolframite concentrate processing directly at mining and processing plants.

Abstract >>
The authors present the gravity concentration-and-flotation technology for joint processing of gold ore and placer gold mining waste ensuring high gold recovery. The research is carried out using samples of ore from a primary gold deposit under mining and from waste of gold placer mining in the Yano-Kolyma gold province in the Russian Federation. The feature of the technology is the use of bullion gold in the gold flotation circuit. Bullion gold is recovered from gold placer mining waste by gravity concentration. The ore and waste processing by gravity concentration and flotation is based on the stream flow of feed material and rough concentrate. The second flotation stream circuit uses the technology of aerosol column flotation. The efficiency of investment to joint processing of gold ore and placer gold mine waste is evaluated.

Abstract >>
The authors propose the approach to validation of the surveying control accuracy in safety monitoring of earth dams in terms of liquid waste receivers at mines. Based on the system structuring of types of earth dams and their elements, estimation of influence of loads and effects exerted to these structures, as well as the analysis of accident risks using the Hazard and Serviceability Analysis, an ideal sign model of earth dam safety monitoring has been constructed and the scope of field observation has been specified to record hazardous off-sets and prevent hydrodynamic accidents. By modeling an ideal earth dam, the authors determine the dam stress-strain state criteria. From the condition of non-admittance of limit equilibrium disturbance of the earthen structure, the requirements on the accuracy of horizontal and vertical surveying control over structural elements of dams are set.

Abstract >>
The procedure of revealing water-saturated areas near underground openings by the data of radars with resistive-loaded antennas is developed. The key identifying parameter (attribute) of the procedure is the information entropy showing specific character of function of distribution of radar trace amplitudes. It becomes possible to distinguish anomalies in the profiles using the attribute after amplitude equalization. The procedure of processing of traces is described and exemplified, and the reasons of the entropy parameter efficiency are explained. For the comparison, the author considers alternative identifying parameters that appear less efficient as against the entropy attribute either for their weak capability to reveal anomalous sections in profiles or for the low interference immunity.

Abstract >>
The paper considers the question of the degree to which Goodstein's theorem may be considered to be an analogue of a true, but not provable Gödelian sentence. It is shown that such an interpretation leads to Isaacson's thesis, according to which the demonstration of the truth of real mathematical analogues of the Gödelian sentence in the formal language of arithmetic uses conceptual resources that go beyond the resources required to understand the basic arithmetic of finite natural numbers. The plausibility of the thesis is disputed from the point of view of the incomprehensibility of the arithmetic content of the Gödelian sentence.
