Modern methods of irrigation are considered as a key factor in the intensification of technologies for growing of grain corn. The productivity of the crop as a result of the optimization of water and ...nutrient regimes increases from 100 to 380% in comparison with non-irrigated conditions. The aim of the research was to study the effect of sprinkling, drip irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation on growth processes, the structure of the crop formation and the yield of grain corn. Field experimental studies were conducted on the lands of Kamyans'ko-Dnieprovs'ka research station IWPLM of NAAS during 2018-2020The obtained results confirm that the method of irrigation significantly affects the formation of basic biometric parameters, yield structure and productivity. It is established that the maximum parameters of growth processes (plant height, leaf surface area, as well as photosynthetic potential and net photosynthesis productivity) of corn are provided by drip irrigation. Significantly lower and similar values were determined for the conditions of subsurface drip irrigation and sprinkling, and the lowest parameters of corn productivity were obtained under natural moisture conditions. The highest yield of corn grain was obtained under drip irrigation – 20,69 t on ha, while under subsurface laying of irrigation pipelines it was significantly lower – 16,44 t on ha. In the variant with sprinkling, the decrease in grain yield by 0,62 t on ha compared to subsurface drip irrigation was within the least significant difference of the experiment (LSDА0,5 = 1,93). On the variant of conditional control (without irrigation), on average, for three years, a low yield level was obtained - only 3,85 t on ha, which confirms the significant risks and inexpediency of this crop in the Steppe conditions without irrigation. The results also confirm the existence of a close correlation between corn yield and leaf surface area of plants. The obtained dependence is described by a linear equation of the form y = 0,6227x – 14,133, and the coefficient of determination is R2 = 0,98.

Graduate students of technical universities have practical difficulties with learning and successful instructional implementation of the fundamentals of engineering didactics. The paper is focused on ...the formulation of a thought-provoking curriculum with computational assignments for the course of “Technical University Pedagogic and Methodological Foundations of Engineering Education” (TUPMFEE) for graduate and Ph.D. students. The paper uses computational modelling of behavioral processes in socio-educational systems. The TUPMFEE-curriculum teaches future engineers to apply computational techniques to modeling of socio-technical phenomena. The author-formulated and a computer modeling-supported metaphor for the psycho-educational effects of high social pressure impact on student learning dynamics was allegorically visualized using mechanical rolling stress distribution for the nonlinear social process of student knowledge acquisition during instructor-enhanced education with description of some successive forgetting of the previously acquired instructional material upon the studied course completion. The author-proposed TUPMFEE-course successfully triggers graduate students’ interest in both social, mechanical and computer sciences.
Tau-pair production in the process \(\ensuremath{\mathrm{e}^ + \mathrm{e}^- \rightarrow \mathrm{e}^ + \mathrm{e}^-\tau^ + \tau^-}\) was studied using data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP2 ...during the years 1997 - 2000. The corresponding integrated luminosity is 650 pb-1. The values of the cross-section obtained are found to be in agreement with QED predictions. Limits on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau lepton are deduced.
This paper presents DELPHI measurements and interpretations of cross-sections, forward-backward asymmetries, and angular distributions, for the process for centre-of-mass energies above the Z ...resonance, from -207 GeV at the LEP collider. The measurements are consistent with the predictions of the Standard Model and are used to study a variety of models including the S-Matrix ansatz for scattering and several models which include physics beyond the Standard Model: the exchange of Z′ bosons, contact interactions between fermions, the exchange of gravitons in large extra dimensions and the exchange of in R-parity violating supersymmetry.This paper is dedicated to the memory of Alan Segar.
Searches for neutral Higgs bosons produced at LEP in association with Z bosons, in pairs and in the Yukawa process are presented in this paper. Higgs boson decays into b quarks, \(\tau\) leptons, or ...other Higgs bosons are considered, giving rise to four-b, four-b + jets, six-b and four-\(\tau\) final states, as well as mixed modes with b quarks and \(\tau\) leptons. The whole mass domain kinematically accessible at LEP in these topologies is searched. The analysed data set covers both the LEP1 and LEP2 energy ranges and exploits most of the luminosity recorded by the DELPHI experiment. No convincing evidence for a signal is found, and results are presented in the form of mass-dependent upper bounds on coupling factors (in units of model-independent reference cross-sections) for all processes, allowing interpretation of the data in a large class of models.
A search for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons was performed in the data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP II at centre-of-mass energies from 189 GeV to 209 GeV. Five different final states, ...\(\tau^ + \nu_{\tau}\tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}\), \(\mathrm{c}\bar{\mathrm{s}}\bar{\mathrm{c}}\mathrm{s}\), \(\mathrm{c}\bar{\mathrm{s}}{\tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}}\), \(\mathrm{W}^*\!\mathrm{A}\mathrm{W}^*\!\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{W}^*\!\mathrm{A}\tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}\) were considered, accounting for the major expected decays in type I and type II Two Higgs Doublet Models. No significant excess of data compared to the expected Standard Model processes was observed. The existence of a charged Higgs boson with mass lower than 76.7 GeV/c2 (type I) or 74.4 GeV/c2 (type II) is excluded at the 95% confidence level, for a wide range of the model parameters. Model independent cross-section limits have also been calculated.
Infrared and collinear safe event shape distributions and their mean values are determined in \({\mathrm{e^+e^-}}\) collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 45 and 202GeV. A phenomenological ...analysis based on power correction models including hadron mass effects for both differential distributions and mean values is presented. Using power corrections, \(\alpha_s\) is extracted from the mean values and shapes. In an alternative approach, renormalisation group invariance (RGI) is used as an explicit constraint, leading to a consistent description of mean values without the need for sizeable power corrections. The QCD \(\beta\)-function is precisely measured using this approach. From the DELPHI data on Thrust, including data from low energy experiments, one finds \\beta_0 = 7.86 \pm 0.32\ for the one loop coefficient of the \(\beta\)-function or, assuming QCD, \n_{\mathrm{f}} = 4.75 \pm 0.44 \ for the number of active flavours. These values agree well with the QCD expectation of \(\beta_0=7.67\) and \(n_{\mathrm{f}}=5\). A direct measurement of the full logarithmic energy slope excludes light gluinos with a mass below 5GeV.
