Statistical Substantiation of the Revising of Readings by the CityAir Station of PM2.5 Concentration Levels in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer of the City

As a marker characterizing air pollution in the surface layer of the atmosphere of modern cities, the concentration level of particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (Particulate Matter, PM2.5) is often used. The paper discusses the practice of using a relatively cheap optical sensor, which is part of the CityAir station, to measure the concentration of PM2.5 in an urban environment. The article proposes a statistically justified correction of the primary data obtained by CityAir stations on the values of the concentration of suspended particles PM2.5 in the surface layer of the atmosphere of Krasnoyarsk. For the construction of regression models, measurements obtained from E-BAM analyzers located at the same observation posts as the corrected sensors were considered as a reference. For the analysis, primary data was used 1) from 9 automated observation posts of the regional departmental information and analytical system of data on the state of the environment of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (KVIAS); 2) from the 21st CityAir station of the monitoring system of the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The paper demonstrates that when correcting sensor readings, it is necessary to take into account meteorological indicators. In addition, it is shown that the regression coefficients significantly depend on the season. Supervised learning methods are compared for solving the problem of correcting the readings of inexpensive sensors. Additional information on the results of data analysis, which was not included in the text of the article, is available on the electronic resource https://asm.krasn.ru/.

DEVELOPMENT OF A REFERENCE SAMPLE FOR RAPID ANALYSIS OF AN ELEMENTAL COMPOSITION OF MEDICINAL PLANT RAW MATERIALS

Objective: Development and validation of a technique for preparation of a reference sample for elemental microanalysis using the XRF technique in terms of repeatability, reproducibility, and optimization of the technique for rapid determination of the elemental composition of medicinal plants based on X-ray fluorescence analysis. Methods: Samples: fresh shoots of Kalanchoe daigremontiana, ready reference sample "Birch Leaf" LB-1 (A. P. Vinogradov Institute of Geochemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk, Russia), and IAEA reference sample SRM 2976 (IAEA, MEL, Monaco). The dispersed fraction was analyzed using a Master Sizer 2000 instrument (Malvern Panalytical, Worcestershire, UK). Elemental analysis using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer EDX-7000 Shimadzu (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan), GZ-AAS using an Agilent instrument, model 240Z AA instrument (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, USA) with electrothermal atomization and Zeeman background correction, and ICP-MS using an Agilent 7500 CE instrument (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, USA). Results: By the LALLS method, they were separated by the maximum distribution, which was 63 microns, and a minor fraction of 39 microns. This indicates sufficient homogeneity in the sample. Further, homogeneity was proved by the XRF method by measuring six independent samples obtained by the quartering method. Also, the elemental composition of the reference samples was determined: completely dried, homogenized before sifting, and homogenized after sifting. Further, the obtained reference sample of K. daigremontiana was compared with reference samples: IAEA SRM 2976 and "birch leaf methods: ICP-MS, GZ-AAS, XRF. Conclusion: The reference sample will allow for rapid analysis of medicinal plant raw materials. Standardization of medicinal plants by the content of microelements will allow observing species differences as well as adjusting the concentrations of microelements for therapeutic purposes using medicinal plants.

ГЕНЕРАЦИЯ СВОБОДНЫХ РАДИКАЛОВ КЛЕТКАМИ КРОВИ КОРОВ ПРИ СУБКЛИНИЧЕСКИХ ДОЗАХ РАДИАЦИИ

The aim of the study is to evaluate the kinetics of ROS generation in the peripheral blood of cattle exposed to subclinical doses of radiation. Objectives: to determine chemiluminescent indices: time to reach and amplitude of maximum activity, total ROS volume in the peripheral blood of lactating cows in agricultural landscapes of the Krasnoyarsk Region with different radioecological status; to calculate the blood phagocyte activation index. The object of the study is lactating cows kept in three agricultural landscapes of the Krasnoyarsk Region with different radioecological status: with an absorbed annual dose for farm animals of 0.92 mGy (control), with doses of 1.33 and 1.55 mGy/year. Research material is peripheral blood of cows. The studies were conducted in 2017–2019 in the immunology sector of the international scientific center for research into extreme states of the body, Federal Research Center of the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Krasnoyarsk, and at the Institute of Applied Biotechnology and Veterinary Medicine, Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education, Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University. In the peripheral blood of lactating cows, the following chemiluminescent indices were assessed: the time of formation of peaks in the production of reactive oxygen species and the amplitude of their generation, the total volume of ROS, and the index of activation of blood phagocytes. The chemiluminescent analysis was performed in the immunology sector of the international scientific center for research into extreme conditions of the body, FRC KSC SB RAS (Krasnoyarsk). Subclinical doses of ionizing radiation of 1.33 and 1.55 mGy/year negatively affect the course of free-radical processes in the blood cells of cows. Slowdown in the formation time of kinetic peaks, an increase in the total number of spontaneous free radicals, and a decrease in the light sum of activated ROS were revealed. A decrease in the cell activation index was established, i.e. a decrease in the ability of blood phagocytes to induce a respiratory burst in response to additional antigenic irritation, which is related to the negative consequences of exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation.

Investigating the heliosphere, magnetosphere, atmosphere, and properties of cosmic rays during the 2018 Aug 25–26 strong geomagnetic storm

We investigated the conditions of the heliosphere, magnetosphere, and atmosphere from cosmic ray (CR) observations during the 2018 Aug 25–26 strong geomagnetic storm. The analysis involved the global survey (GS) and the spectrographic global survey (SGS) methods created and developed at the Yu.G. Shafer Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ShICRA SB RAS) and at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISTP SB RAS). Also, in our analysis, we used the data on direct measurements of the interplanetary medium parameters from the known OMNI database, CR measurements at the GOES geostationary satellites, from the global network of neutron monitors and muon detectors, from the Sayan spectrograph, and from the A.I. Kuzmin Yakutsk spectrograph of CR. When analyzing this event, the SGS enabled to obtain the data on the orientation of the mean interplanetary magnetic field, on the geomagnetic cutoff rigidity and its variations during the geomagnetic storm. Also, this method allowed us to estimate the bulk temperature over the point of recording CR, the ring current and the magnetopause current, as well as their contributions to the Dst-index, and also to establish differential rigidity spectra of CR at different stages of the magnetic storm evolution. Through the GS method, we determined the value and the directions for the first two spherical harmonics of CR distribution, and the direction to their anisotropy source. The results obtained through two different global survey methods are shown to be agree and mutually supplement each other. Using the Yakutsk spectrograph records enabled to determine the index for the power energy spectrum of variations in CR intensity during the investigated event.

Prospects for the creation of an oral vaccine against ornithobacteriosis of birders

The work was carried out at the pharmacogenomics laboratory of the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in the molecular biology sector of the Siberian Federal Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale DNA was provided by poultry farms of the Republic of Mordovia of the Russian Federation. In affected birds, inflammatory changes were observed in the larynx, upper part of the trachea and infraorbital sinuses, and fibrin clots were observed in the respiratory sacs. Pathological material was subcultured in brain heart broth in the presence of antibiotics. Analysis of subcellular localisation of the OR77 protein was carried out using the SignalP-6.0 method. The immune epitope database (IEDB) was used to search for B-dependent epitopes of the OR77 gene. Primers for cloning were designed, and cloning regions of the OR77 gene containing B-dependent epitopes were simulated by ligating BamHI and HindIII into the polylinker of the shuttle vector pBE-S. Experiments were carried out to clone the active epitope sequence of the O. rhinotracheale OR77 protein in Bacillus subtilis and use it orally to identify immune activity and other possible adverse reactions. Nucleotide sequence analysis was performed using the UniproUGENEv program. The amplification procedure was carried out. The prospect of the possible synthesis of a new, inexpensive, and effective vaccine against the pathogen O. rhinotracheale is described.

«Сказание о хождении в Тибет пандита-хамбо-ламы Заяева из цонгольского рода» как источник по истории буддизма

The history of Buddhism and the initial period of its spread in Transbaikalia in the XVII-XVIII centuries are insufficiently studied due to the lack of archival materials and sources, while the surviving historical records provide different information about some events, such as the year of construction of the first Buddhist temple and the first sermon, the years of D.-D. Zayaev's life. The earliest extant sources are "Autobiography" and "Travel Notes" written by D.-D. Zayaev in 1768. They contain valuable information not only about the history of Buryat Buddhism, but also about the life and activities of D.-D. Zayaev (1711-1776), the first Buryat pandita Khambo-Lama, whose name is associated with the beginning of the spread of Buddhism among the Buryats and its institutionalization in the Russian Empire, but also with the description of his pilgrimage to Tibet. In this regard, in order to clarify some dates on the early history of Buryat Buddhism, texts related to him have been searched for and analyzed in the funds of the Center of Oriental Manuscripts and Xylographs (CVRK) of the Institute for Mongolian, Buddhist and Tibetan Studies of the Siberian Branch of the RAS. It was established that of the six sources found, the most informative work is "The Legend of the Tsongol Kin Pandita Khambo-Lama Zayaev's Journey to Tibet" in the Old Mongolian script, stored in the Mongolian collection of the CVRK. As a result of the study, it was revealed that this work is a late manuscript consisting of the "Travel Notes", the Biography of D.-D. Zayaev and of an anonymous manuscript containing a brief description of Buddhist sacred places and shrines in India, Nepal, Tibet and Mongolia, what has determined its structure consisting of 3 parts. It was found out that this manuscript contains information about the socio-economic situation of the population of Tibet and neighboring countries, as well as information about the history of Buddhism in Transbaikal region in the middle of the XVIII century. It testifies to Russia's geopolitical interests in this region of Inner Asia and the peoples living there, as the author reports, saying that it was written at the behest of Catherine II, who outlined a range of issues: "to describe what I’ve seen on my way to Tibet, the length of the road and distance, as well as about the customs and habits of people". The unique historical information preserved by the Buryat pilgrim and the Russian citizen D.-D. Zayaev is also relevant for conducting comparative studies of the phenomenon of modern pilgrimage that is becoming popular not only for believers but among ordinary lay population.

Efficiency of mineral fertilization of spring wheat

The results of application of Agree’s leaf mineral fertilizer on spring wheat in the system of complex crop protection under conditions of insufficient moisture are presented. Field studies were carried out in the northern forest-steppe zone of the Tyumen region in the experimental fields of the Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture for Northern Trans-Ural Region - Branch of Federal State Institutions Federal Re-search Centre Tyumen Scientific Centre of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to the results of the research, the positive effect of Agree’s NK liquid complex fertilizer in the complex of plant protection products application on the parameters of plant structural elements was revealed. Increase in ear length by 1.4 cm, number of spikelets by 2.5 pieces, number of grains in the ear by 6 pcs, weight of grain from 25 stems by 6-16 g, weight of 1000 grains by 4 g according to variants of agrochemicals application in tillering and earing phases: No 3 Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha; No 6 Agree’s N, 2 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha; No 7 Agree’s N, 3 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha. Application of agrochemicals in one phase of crop development, maximum rates had no positive effect on spring wheat yield. Application of agrochemical schemes Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha; Agree’s N, 2 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha; Agree’s N, 3 l/ha + Agree’s NK, 2 l/ha increased yield to 0.6-0.8 t/ha or 24-31%. The application of agrochemical Agree’s in the phase of the beginning of earing contributed to the improvement of technological quality of wheat grain, gluten content was higher than the control by 2-4%. Gluten quality 75-100 units, which is satisfactory. The use of agrochemicals has a clear advantage in the treatment of plants on the leaf in the system of their protection, an integrated approach to the use of agrochemicals is necessary, taking into account the treatment of at least 2 phases of plant development or one, but in the phase of unfolding of the flag leaf and the beginning of earing.

Сartographic models of soil temperature fields in the steppe battles of Khakassia and Tuva based on joint analysis of temperature monitoring ground and satellite data

The aim of the study was to justify the possibility of using quantitative characteristics of the temperature regime of soils obtained by a joint analysis of ground-based and satellite monitoring to create cartographic models of typological units of soil-bioclimatic zonation of the Khakassia and Tuva steppe basins. Location and time of the study. The development of methodology for identifying the temperature fields boundaries was carried out in 2019-2022, using as a case example the soil cover typological units in the Altai-Sayan region, including the diversity of steppes of the Chulym-Yenisei and Minusinsk troughs, the Turan-Uyuk, Central Tuva, and Ubsu-Nur basins. Key areas were selected taking into account the principles of landscape zoning, which make it possible to recognize, classify and map landscape-differentiating factors, landscape components, the regional landscape structure in their entirety and its dynamic features. Methods. Ground-based automated monitoring of air and soil was performed using specialized temperature recorders DS-1921G “Thermochron”, taking into account indicators reflecting the genetic unity of climate types in the Altai-Sayan region. To carry out retrospective analysis, statistical processing and visualization of MODIS data, a software and algorithmic toolkit created by the Institute of Computational Technology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk) was used: the software is based on a new technology for accessing the satellite data archive, implemented using the PostgreSQL DBMS with an additional module, designed for direct access to the file data archive without the need to first copy and convert the data format for the DBMS. Results. Based on a joint analysis of quantitative indicators of the air and soil temperature regimes, obtained using ground-based automated measuring systems and satellite data, a series of cartographic models were constructed: the latter reflect the temperature fields characteristics of typological units of soil-bioclimatic zoning of the Altai-Sayan region. The interpretation of the identification of typological units of the soil cover structure performed on the basis of a statistical analysis of the combination of boundaries and information content of the contours of the soil cover and the boundaries of temperature fields (day and night temperatures, as well as the difference in temperatures of two compiled series, calculated over a 16-year period). The novelty of the approach is based on the fact that cartographic models of temperature fields, constructed on the basis of quantitative temperature indicators, have information content sufficient for establishing relationships between the temperature regime and other characteristics of natural environmental objects, contributing to solving the problem of identifying and typologizing soil-ecological boundaries. Conclusions. Cartographic models of temperature fields obtained as a result of a joint analysis of ground-based and satellite data are sufficiently informative regarding the energy of soil-forming processes and can be used to assess soil thermal conditions in the inaccessible and hence poorly studied areas of the Altai-Sayan region.

Investigation of Plasma Flow Velocity in the Helical Magnetic Open Trap SMOLA

The physics of confinement of plasma rotating in the magnetic field with linear helical symmetry is studied at the SMOLA open trap at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The factor characterizing the quality of plasma confinement in the system is its flow velocity. The paper describes the diagnostics applied, which is based on the Mach probe used under the conditions of nonmagnetized plasma; this diagnostics made it possible to determine the longitudinal flow velocity in the experiments. In different operating regimes of the device, the measured longitudinal flow velocity was (0.5−5) × 106 cm/s. It is discussed how the velocity depends on the magnetic field corrugation. The reverse flow of trapped particles returning to the confinement zone was detected.

Ценностные смыслы естественнонаучных коллекций института угля в контексте современных социокультурных потребностей общества

In the 21st century information society, the problem of insufficient knowledge about developmental patterns of natural history can lead to irreparable losses of our planet’s vital natural and human resources. This is because cultural development of mankind lags far behind its impact on the natural environment. Against the background of technogenic pressure of civilization, it is necessary to increase the intellectual level of people’s development and, based on that, to reassess the values, the formation of culture-transforming principles and ways of interacting with nature. Based on the culturological approach and the systemic, structural-functional and terminological methods of analysis, the article reveals the immutable significance of scientific collections in the formation of new humanistic values. In this process, the invaluable socio-cultural academic museums and their natural science collections play a big role. The purpose of scientific collections is aimed at obtaining fundamental, historically conditioned knowledge. At the same time, today academic museums consider the dissemination of knowledge among broad categories of visitors as the most important activity. They act as information and communication centers for the translation of scientific achievements and the necessary components of formation of a culture for the sustainable development of society. Museum documentation regarding knowledge about natural fossil fuels and, in particular, about coal, is one of the important topics that needs to be activated in the context of modern general cultural needs. This finds confirmation in the practice of foreign museums natural history, as well as domestic museums of various profiles, departmental affiliation and status. The example of the Institute of Coal of the Federal Research Center for Coal and Coal Chemistry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IC FRC CCC SB RAS) is used to show the information potential and the importance of the constructive participation of academic museum’s natural science collections in meeting the intellectual needs of society. In Kuzbass, or Kemerovo region, which is the coal industry center of Russia, natural scientific collections of the Institute of Coal are presented by means of museum exposition and are part of the process of dissemination of broad scientific knowledge about coal, the main natural resource of the region. Reliable information about the irreplaceability of coal resources, the processes of its formation for hundreds of millions of years, properties, methods and consequences of mining are especially in demand in the mining region; they form the basis for the environmental education of the younger generation and contribute to the understanding of the problem of preserving natural heritage and build trust in society regarding scientific innovations.
