Endscrapers Variability and Differential Use of Landscapes During the Late Holocene in Central-Western Santa Cruz, Patagonia

ABSTRACT In the last 2500 years BP the environment of Southern Patagonia was affected by significant climatic changes. In this scenario, in the central-western portion of Santa Cruz province (Patagonia, Argentina), hunter-gatherer populations made a complementary use of the different ecological areas (highlands and lowlands). Differences in artefactual assemblages have been recorded in these areas. Within this context, we analyze variability in the most frequent lithic artifact from the region: endscrapers. We assess morphology and compare results between different sectors from highlands and lowlands. The question is whether the morphology of endscrapers also differs between ecological areas. Quantitative (length, width and thickness) and qualitative variables (raw material and blank type) were measured on 514 endscrapers. Results show that there are no statistical differences between highlands and lowlands. Variability in dimensions is only detected for some raw materials. Indeed, standardization in the morphology of this type of tool is proposed for the period under study.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL RESEARCH OF COMMON MYRTLE LEAVES (MYRTUS COMMUNIS L.)

This paper presents the results of morphological-anatomical study of common myrtle leaves diagnostically significant features (Myrtus communis L.) harvested in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden (Republic of Crimea, Russia). Microscopic analysis of common myrtle leaf petioles was carried out and diagnostic features of dominant biologically active сompounds and tissues luminescence of this plant species leaf petioles were revealed. Morphology and anatomy of common myrtle leaves petioles, luminescence of their tissues were analyzed and summarized and additional diagnostic features of this plant object were revealed. Morphological and anatomical study of common myrtle leaves (Myrtus communis L.) was carried out in accordance with the OFS "Leaves" and "Technique of microscopic and microchemical study of medicinal plant raw materials and medicinal plant preparations" GF RF XIV edition using light microscopy in transmitted and polarized light, as well as luminescence microscopy, which has not been previously studied for this plant. The results of the study concluded that when comparing the luminescence of whole essential oils of myrtle, impure eucalyptus and their components provides a luminescence diagnosis due to the difference in luminescence color; 1,8-cineole is not a diagnostic element in morphological and anatomical luminescence for common myrtle due to the lack of obvious luminescence; euvimal-1 can be used as a diagnostic and luminescence as it has specific luminescence in the form of pink color; the peculiarity of pigmentation of the epithelium of the schizogenic receptacle of the leaf of common myrtle was revealed and the characteristic of its luminescence is species specific for myrtle and can be used as a diagnostic feature in contrast to the impurity raw material of eucalyptus. The results obtained during the study can be further used in the development of the section of the draft pharmacopoeial article “Microscopic features” and other regulatory documentation for a new type of medicinal plant raw material - “Myrtle leaves”, as well as in fundamental botany in the study of species of the family Myrtaceae.

Tracing metallurgical links and silver provenance in Balkan coinage (5th -1st centuries BCE)

AbstractLocal types of coinage testify to the emerging use of silver in the Balkan interior, possibly related to abundant ore deposits in the region. Here, we present Pb isotope data for silver coins minted by local tribes and settlements (anepigraphic coins attributed to the Derrones/Laeaei, Damastion, Pelagia, Kings of Paeonia) between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. For comparison, we analysed coinage of the potential Greek emporia Dyrrhachium and Apollonia for their main element and Pb-Ag isotope compositions. Statistical data evaluation demonstrates close material connections between coins from the Balkan interior and identify a predominantly local raw material provenance. The majority of Damastion’s issues defines a tight cluster fitting Strabo’s (VII.7.8) account that the settlement possessed nearby silver mines in the Balkan interior. Novobërdë/Novo Brdo (Kosovo) can be plausibly hypothesised among the available reference data to have been one of the main ore districts supplying the mint. Mixing is evident for coins from the Kings of Paeonia and coinage attributed to the Derrones/Laeaei. Virtually identical end-members suggest that Paeonian regal coinage recycled tribal issues with contribution of metal obtained from Damastion’s hypothesised mines. Contemporaneous coinage struck by Dyrrhachium as well as end-members calculated for Thasos and the Macedon kingdom (Albarede et al. in Bullion mixtures in silver coinage from ancient Greece and Egypt, J Archaeol Sci 162:105918, 2024a) signal metal sourced from the Balkans, presumably the Macedonian/Paeonian border area. Comparison of data from Greek city-states and coinage issued by Apollonia and Dyrrhachium for the Romans demonstrates a change in the type and origin of raw materials and bullion composition, indicating a shift in monetary customs and possibly metal production technology.

The Scarf and the Cloak Prestige Garments for Aegean Elites

Abstract When seeking to identify elite personages in the Aegean iconographic record, the researcher faces the great problem that almost everyone seems to dress in the same rich apparel and there are no deciphered contemporary texts which can explain the meaning of the images. Yet the visual record does reveal that Aegean artists showed particular interest in fabric differentiation and this is especially true of the images on the Aegean seals, signet rings and sealings, each a piece of miniature relief art. The detail in these seal images provides a new lens through which to view gender and identity in Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece. This paper concentrates on an item that was named by Arthur Evans over a hundred years ago when he saw depictions of what seemed to be rolled-up cloth. He coined the term, “sacral knot” to describe it and so it has remained in the literature. However the seal detail published across the last 50 years establishes that there are actually two items subsumed under Evans’ term, one which we may call the “scarf knot” and the other the “cloak knot” and that the basis for these knots are two very different garments, the scarf and the cloak. When their characteristics are described with regard to the type of raw material used and the patterns observable and when attention is turned to their wearing, it becomes clear that the scarf designates elite females and that the cloak envelopes elite males. The primary use of these two prestige garments, with their underlying distinction of gender roles, is seen to provide the basis for their symbolic use in the knotted form. The scarf and the cloak are primarily Minoan prestige garments and both creations are testament to a sophisticated society that cherished their beautiful fabrics.

Reiβscheiben ingots as markers of copper imports to the market of Medieval Novgorod

During the Middle Ages, massive ingots were the standard type of copper raw material obtained from European mines and exported across the Baltic and North Seas over vast distances. In Russian literature, they are known as “flat cakes” and “loafs”, while in the foreign one they are referred to as Reißscheiben (torn out disk). The article provides information about 24 cases of finding massive ingots. Most of the finds are concentrated on international trade routes and mark the main directions of movement of copper raw materials from mining operations located in the Western Carpathians, Erzgebirge and Eastern Alps, to the North and Baltic Seas. Recording and mapping of Reißscheiben that were not subject to remelting, and, therefore, retained the primary “isotopic marks”, provide valuable information for identifying sources of metal and establishing the routes of importing metal raw materials to the territory of medieval Rus. Huge volumes of copper shipwreck cargoes can be considered as reference samples when interpreting Pb-Pb data obtained for both different types of ingots and finished products.

Data evaluation for identifying meaningful engineering characteristics of the flexible panels used for aerial module for pedological drought

The existing worldwide information related to the aerial modules used for transporting mulching substances is particularly pernicious. Thus, at this moment, on an international level, cargo transport solutions for mulching lands affected by soil drought are limited to identifying the maximum value of the load (1250–4500 kgf), the type of raw material from which it is made (polyamide), the shape (quadratic, octagonal, rectangular) and its dimensions (2.13 m × 3 m for a maximum transport capacity of 1250 kgf – 5.5 m × 5.5 m for a maximum transport capacity of 4500 kgf). Also, among the solutions for protecting lands affected by wildfires, the sowing technique with the help of drones was identified. Thus, the seeded compost balls are allowed to fall by gravity from the drones, being released randomly in the demineralised areas, difficult to reach by land transport. The paper presents the latest research of INCDTP specialists – carried out in the national premiere – regarding the iterative-incremental development of a multi-role collapsible aerial module that has as its theatre of operations the desertified areas (due to the pedological drought) of Romania. The central point of the research is focused on: i) the experimentation in the accredited laboratories of INCDTP, of flexible panels joined by mechanical-textile technology; ii) statistical analysis of values; iii) predicting the minimum values of the physical-mechanical characteristics of the composite material.

Oil and Gas Industry of India: Russian Aspect

Rather high rates of GDP growth (compared to the world average and other Asian countries) and real incomes of the population, combined with ongoing policies of industrialization and urbaniza-tion, make India one of the most attractive markets for commodities. The country needs natural resources, mainly oil and gas. Among the key areas of development of the national economy are the oil and gas producing and processing industries. Cooperation in the energy sector between Russia and India is developing steadily and progressively, important joint projects are also being implemented. The Russian Federation exports all types of raw materials, with the exception of pipeline natural gas. In 2023, oil imports from Russia, according to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India, amounted to 82.21 million tons (about 1.64 million barrels per day), which is 2.61 times higher than in 2022. During the same period, 9.09 million tons of Russian oil prod-ucts were delivered (+2.39 times to the level of 2022), more than 70 % of which were fuel oil. India is also among the largest importers of Russian coal and СNG. In 2023, India imported about 23.21 million tons of Russian coal (+28.8 % to the level of 2022) and 0.41 million tons of CNG (equal to the level of 2022). As you can see, Russia is interested in increasing the export of commodities to India due to the fact that the latter is an emerging economy and acts as an ex-panding market for natural fuels for the needs of households and industry. In addition, owing to the sanction restrictions imposed on Russian companies and the need to diversify supplies, in terms of foreign economy Russia takes particular interest in cooperation with Indian partners. Let’s study India’s energy policy, especially its oil and gas market, below.

Shifting techniques in perforating animal teeth and metal objects. Some examples from Early Bronze Age contexts

This paper addresses shifting techniques between manufacturing two types of raw materials. On the one hand, they are copper-based alloys that were processed in the Early Bronze Age (c. 2300-1600 BCE) only by a few craftspersons, and, on the other hand, well-known and commonly processed animal hard tissues. At least one technique we observed on the metal objects originates from those of working with animal hard tissues, while the other one can be found in already published evidence. Application of techniques known from bone and antler processing in metallurgy indicates cross-craft communication and learning processes.

Optimization of Proportions of Alkali-Activated Slag-Fly Ash-Based Cemented Tailings Backfill and Its Strength Characteristics and Microstructure under Combined Action of Dry-Wet and Freeze-Thaw Cycles.

To enhance the application of alkali-activated materials in mine filling, cemented tailings backfill was prepared using slag, fly ash, sodium silicate, and NaOH as primary constituents. The effects of the raw material type and dosage on the backfill were examined through a single-factor experiment. Additionally, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to optimize the mixing ratios of the backfill, with a focus on fluidity and compressive strength as key objectives. The evolution of backfill quality and compressive strength under the combined effects of dry-wet and freeze-thaw (DW-FT) cycles was analyzed. The hydration products, microstructure, and pore characteristics of the specimens were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and nitrogen adsorption tests (NATs) across varying cycles. The results demonstrate that the optimal backfill composition includes 47.8% fly ash, 6.10% alkali equivalent, and a 1.44 sodium silicate modulus. The macroscopic behavior of the backfill under DW-FT coupling followed this progression: pore initiation → pore expansion → crack formation → crack propagation → structural damage. After a minor initial increase, the backfill strength steadily decreased. Microscopic analysis revealed that the decline in internal cementation products and the deterioration of pore structure were the primary causes of this strength reduction. Thus, the DW-FT coupling can cause significant erosion of the backfill. The technical solutions presented in this paper offer a reference for solid waste utilization and provide valuable insights into the durability of backfill under DW-FT coupling.

The impact of virtual reality exposure on ocean connectedness and consumer responses to single-use packaging

Efforts to mitigate plastic packaging pollution include behavioural strategies aimed at shifting consumer perceptions and behaviour. Connectedness to nature, and more recently ocean connectedness, has been associated with pro-environmental intentions regarding single-use packaging. Two experimental studies were conducted to examine the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in promoting ocean connectedness and shifting consumer perceptions around packaging and its environmental qualities.To assess the influence of the VR content, in Study 1 (n = 94), participants were briefly exposed to an oceanic VR environment or an urban VR experience. Levels of ocean connectedness, both explicit and implicit, were measured after the VR manipulation using an Inclusion of Nature in Self (INS) measure and an Implicit Association Test (IAT). Participants then rated a variety of packaging options that were systematically manipulated in terms of type of raw material (e.g. plastic) and recyclability. The ocean VR condition showed higher levels of ocean connectedness on the adapted explicit INS measure, but not on the IAT measure, and there were no differences between the conditions in perceptions around packaging materials.Study 2 (n = 118) expanded on the previous study by adding a third condition: the participants were exposed to an oceanic VR environment, a built VR environment, or a non-VR task (cognitive task). The ocean VR condition showed higher levels of explicit ocean connectedness, as measured with the INS, than the other two conditions, but again there were no differences in implicit ocean connectedness. However, the ocean VR condition showed more critical perceptions around packaging overall in comparison to the built VR condition. We conclude that a brief immersive oceanic VR experience can influence explicit ocean connectedness, as measured with the INS, but its influence on packaging perceptions was more limited.

Raw Materials in the Paste of Ceramics of the Kulaika Culture Surgut Variant (Based on Samples from Barsova Gora)

A multidisciplinary analysis of ceramics from six sites of the Surgut variant of the Kulaika culture at Barsova Gora was made. Technology was assessed using traceological, petrographic, and X-ray phase analyses. At all the sites, the potters used ferruginous clays tempered with grus, grog, sand, and organic material. Fragments in the clay were either rounded, as in sand, or coarse, as in grus. The sand was mainly represented by feldspar and quartz, suggesting that this type of raw material was extracted from nearby non-metallic mineral deposits. The grus consisted of fragments of basaltoids, amphiboles, and pyroxenes, evidencing that it came from igneous common rocks associated with the Surgut volcanic fi eld and spread over a large area. Rocks were probably mined near settlements, perhaps on the floodplain of the Ob. Grog in all the samples was similar to the basic clay in terms of its composition. Three groups of sites were identified, differing in the composition of the clay of which the ceramics were made. This may indicate the presence of several groups within the Iron Age Kulaika population, utilizing various sources of clay.

Mechanism of tetracycline sorption on carbon-bentonite

Antibiotics increased industrial production is the reason of their occurrence in wastewater, soils, groundwater, and drinking water. In this regard, treating the environment for pharmaceuticals is one of the urgent environmental challenges. Synthesis of adsorbents using different types of raw materials by the methods of mechanochemical activation makes it possible to significantly increase their sorption capacity due to the accumulation of various kinds of defects in the crystal structure of the adsorbent. We obtained the bentonite-carbon composite using roller-ring vibratory mill with coal-bentonite ratio of 30 : 70 and 50 : 50. However, the nature of the interaction between carbon and bentonite correlates with changes of surface area and porosity. The porous structure parameters of the samples show the mechanochemical activation of the mixture involves their components interactions. The authors studied the structural and chemical changes during the modification of bentonite with activated carbon by analysing the vibrational spectra of carbon, initial, and modified aluminosilicate samples. According to infrared spectroscopy of adsorbents, absorption bands characteristic of Si-O-C bond vibrations occurred. The paper investigates the sorption capacity of mechanochemically modified natural clay mineral Dash-Salakhli bentonite towards tetracycline hydrochloride. Research investigates the kinetics of the process and rapid sorption of tetracycline. The paper provides possible mechanisms of chemisorption due to donor-acceptor interaction and ion-exchange processes.

The Taskuduk Camp Site in the Northern Caspian Sea (preliminary results of the study)

The article presents the results of a study of the Taskuduk site in 2023, located in the Kharabalinsky district of the Astrakhan region. These investigations were a continuation of the 2022 research. An aim of excavations was the clarify cultural layer boundaries and obtain new materials. Planographic analysis allowed the authors to determine the borders of the cultural layer. The stratigraphic analysis gave the possibility for artifact distribution. The excavations provided an increase in the information base of sources about the Late Neolithic of the Northern Cis-Caspian region. A representative collection of stone tools has significant importance. A homogeneous combination of products from different types of raw materials has been proven. The specificity of microscrapers in the Late Neolithic stone industry was established by a typological method. The adze with traces of processing and polishing was found. The unique arrow point, which is untypical for the stone industry of this region was determined. The application of technical and technological analysis as well as the thin section analysis of pottery allowed the authors to determine the recipes of ceramic pastes. A lot of vessels have an influx on the inside of the corolla. This pottery feature has analogies with the vessels of the Dzhangar and Orlovka cultures. On the base of gas chromatography analysis of the charred food crusts on ceramics the diet of ancient people was reconstructed. The study of a representative collection of animal bones provided information about the economic strategy on this site. The radiocarbon dating supports the Late Neolithic age of this site.

A Review: Progress in the Mitigation of Soil Continuous Cropping Obstacles by Biochar Application in Agricultural System

Under the dual pressure of agricultural economic development and limited land resources, the continuous cultivation in same area has been a mainstream pattern. The continuous cropping obstacle has seriously impaired the soil physicochemical properties and soil microflora, hindering the sustainable development of agriculture. Various strategies have been used to mitigate the negative effects caused by continuous cropping; however, they cannot be solved effectively. Recently, biochar, as a new type of soil conditioner, has been found to be able to utilize its special physicochemical properties and adsorption properties to improve soil quality conditions. Besides, biochar application is one of the effective methods to reduce the obstacles of soil continuous cropping. In this paper, we reviewed the causes of soil continuous cropping obstacles and their effects on soil and plant, and emphatically analyzed the regulatory role and potential limitations of biochar in alleviating soil continuous cropping obstacles. For example, the type of raw material, pyrolysis conditions of biochar and differences in soil types would yield different effects on the efficiency of biochar on soil continuous cropping obstacles mitigation, Furthermore, other influenced factors, such as the adsorption of biochar on root secretion, the interactions among plants, soils, and microorganisms, need to be investigated. This article provides theoretical support for the application of biochar in in alleviating soil continuous cropping obstacles.

Technology for the production of oatmeal cookies using non-traditional plant raw materials

Modern trend in the food industry is the development of technology for healthy food products with increased nutritional value and enriched with new types of vegetable raw materials. Oatmeal cookies are popular among different groups of people. The purpose of the study is to develop a technology for producing oatmeal cookies by replacing premium wheat flour with spelled flour, and raisins with dried cranberries and Japanese persimmons. The choice of enrichment agents is justified. The recipe for the "Oatmeal New" cookie was taken as a control sample. We replaced premium wheat flour with spelled flour in a ratio of 70 : 30; 50 : 50; 30 : 70; 0 : 100. Persimmon has replaced 30 % of white sugar. The sample with full replacement of wheat flour with spelled flour is recognized as the best. A recipe for "Sweet Morning" oatmeal cookies has been developed. Organoleptic and physicochemical quality indicators of oatmeal cookies have been determined. The antioxidant activity of cookies of the new composition is 0.28 mg of quercetin/100 g of product, which is higher than in the control sample by 0.05 mg of quercetin/100 g of product. The nutritional and energy value of the products has been calculated. Oatmeal cookies "Sweet Morning" exceed the control sample in protein content by 1.2 times, dietary fiber by 2 times, vitamin В1 – 1,2, В5 – 2,3, В9 – 1.24, vitamin C – 5.8, PP – 1.3, K – 6.3, β-carotene – 1.5; minerals K – 1.9, Ca – 1.6, Mg – 1.8, P – 1.8; and microelements: Fe – 1.4, Zn – 2.5, Cu – 2.7, Se – 1.5, Mn – by 2.5 times. The energy value of the new product is 40 kcal (167 kJ) lower compared to the control one. "Sweet Morning" oatmeal cookies is recommended for people focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.

Increasing the nutritional value of cupcakes and evaluating their quality

The use of non-traditional types of raw materials in the production of flour confectionery products makes it possible to increase the nutritional value of products and enrich them with useful nutrients (proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals). During the study, organoleptic, chemical, microbiological, and biochemical methods of analysis of raw materials, semi-finished products and products were used to determine the chemical composition and calculate the nutritional value of the proposed cupcakes. Partial replacement of premium-grade wheat flour in the recipe for the Stolichny cake with stone fruit flour (pomegranate and apricot kernels) and whole-grain wallpaper wheat flour, as well as the introduction of highly sugared molasses, sunflower oil with the addition of olive oil, contribute to the improvement organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics of products, increase their functionality and do not lead to a deterioration in microbiological characteristics. Consumption of 100 g of developed fortified products ensures the degree of satisfaction of the daily requirement for protein by 19 %, fat – 8, carbohydrates – 14, dietary fiber – 28, minerals – 6–30, vitamins – 6–39 %. The results of the study will contribute to expanding the range of enriched muffins with increased nutritional value using traditional and non-traditional raw materials that ensure food safety and resource conservation.

Microbial oil from R. opacus: Sustainable biodiesel production

Generating additional and efficient biodiesel routes will rely heavily on advancements in clean energy technologies along with the creation of novel fermentation tactics and analyses. To create biofuels of the second generation from alternative carbon sources other than food, oleaginous microbes with the capacity to accumulate methyl esters of fatty acids (FAMEs), such as Rhodococcus species, can be utilised. These "micro biorefineries" offer a technique to convert waste streams from industry and agriculture into fungible fuels or compounds that can be used as building blocks for other substances and chemicals. Due to their similar content to typical raw materials like plant-based oils, oils from bacteria have become a feasible substitute to create biodiesel from raw material. The fact that they do not compete for arable land or with food for people or animals is another benefit of them. Using hydrolysate as the only source of carbon, a carbon and energy balance for the model species R. opacus was assessed in this study. A favourable energy balance was shown by the method. The viability of bacterial oil as a biofuel substrate was also assessed by measuring the lipid fatty acid profile and cetane number. Also, an analysis of the oil yields from bacterial, microalgae and plant-based oils is shown in terms of how much land each uses. The findings revealed that R. opacus oil production is significantly more than plant-based oils (650 times) and microalgae (30 times).

Research on hydrodynamics of the thermal agent flow for the beet pulp filtration drying

The reuse and recycling of secondary raw materials is essential to ensure sustainable development and the rational use of natural resources. One of the most important types of secondary raw materials is plant-based food waste, which is generated in large quantities at food processing plants, including sugar beet pulp, which is a valuable resource for further use. One of the main problems with using beet pulp is its high moisture content, which is ≈ 80 % wt. It is proposed to dry beet pulp by filtration drying, which is highly efficient. The calculation of industrial equipment for filtration drying should take into account the costs of overcoming the hydraulic resistance of a stationary layer of material. The aim of the article was to study the hydrodynamics of the flow of a thermal agent through a stationary layer of beet pulp of different heights and to perform computer modelling of this process. The obtained results will allow predicting the hydraulic resistance of a material layer of different heights and the required pressure drop to ensure the course of the drying process under various possible technological modes. For computer modelling of the flow of a thermal agent through a stationary layer of beet pulp, the porous media method was used in the ANSYS Fluent 2022 R2 software package. The process was simulated on the basis of the Navier-Stokes system of differential equations and the flow continuity equation with the additional use of the Darcy equation to determine the value of the hydraulic resistance of the layer ΔP. Computer simulations of the hydrodynamics of the thermal agent flow through a stationary layer of beet pulp were performed for the range of stationary layer heights H = 90÷110 mm with an interval of 5 mm. The obtained data showed a relative average deviation of 2.19 % from the experimental data, which indicates a high accuracy of calculations in this range. The study for the extended range of layer heights H = 80÷120 mm with an interval of 10 mm showed an increase in the relative average deviation to 4.09 % from the experimental data, but the results are still sufficiently accurate for practical use in the calculation of drying equipment. The obtained dependencies may be used to determine the value of the hydraulic resistance of a stationary layer of material using the filtration drying method and for practical calculations of drying equipment. Together with the results of the kinetic regularities of filtration drying, the obtained experimental data and computer modelling data on the hydrodynamics of the flow of a heat transfer agent through a material layer will allow us to calculate the optimal parameters of filtration drying for beet pulp and to assess the efficiency of filtration drying for drying beet pulp in comparison with other methods of dehydration.
