HYDRAULIC DEVICES FOR HYDROSYSTEM TAILRACE PROTECTION
DescriptionBased on the Karman vortex theory, the calculated dependences for velocity induced by profile action in the flow, lifting force and drag force, acting on the profile, are determined. Calculations, performed in MathCAD, allowed, for the given up-stream velocity, to calculate height of mid-section of the bed-formation profile, width of the profile along the chord, span of the profile, angle of attack, velocity of the induced flow. For the calculated profile parameters, the velocity circulation value, drag force and lifting force are determined. As the bed-formation profiles, it is recommended to use flat plates, frame constructions with transverse ribs in the form of arch, fish-like symmetric or slightly curved profiles. Ways of the profile installation in the flow, depending on the angle of attack, are evaluated: three versions - for symmetric profiles, and six versions - for asymmetric profiles. Diagram of the device for the hydrosystem tailrace protection against erosion is developed on the basis of submerged NACA 0302 profile or profile of Zhukovsky, made of flexible materials, including profiles, system of supporting and regulating ropes, and shore or bottom supports. This design is mobile, intended for the periodic regulation of sediment yield

THE RESEARCH OF PARAMETERS OF WOODEN CHIP COLORING
DescriptionThis work presents main kinds of colourants and methods of painting wood particles. Based on wood structure analysis, it was revealed that hard wood, possessing tracheides and vessels as conducting elements, have the optimal capacity for coloration, in comparison with coniferous trees. A methodology was developed of cloning wooden particles, in the form of chips, with forced immersion in order to obtain established parameters of saturation and brightness. The experiments were conducted with chips of 15-50 mm long, 5-20 mm wide and 3-7 mm thick. The composition of colouring agent included water, acetic acid, and water-emulsion colourants of different types and colours (№1 – colour code (red, yellow, and brown) №2 – colorant (lilac and orange) and №3 – paint). Experience has shown the needed concentration of liquors and mass percentage of compounding ingredients. The research was undertaken to study concentration dependence on the time of allowance and saturation. In consequence of colouring experimental batches of chips, a painting saturation of 4-9 points was obtained at the allowance of 120 and 140 seconds. Dependence of brightness from solubility was determined, with high correlation between given parameters on Pearson Criteria (more than 0.9). Comparative analysis made it possible to discover that the better colouring of particles is created with the red paint. In this case maximum colouring effect is achieved with liquor of water-emulsion paint. Subsequent to the experimental results, a design of installation for colouring wooden particles was developed and patented

THEORETICAL RESEARCH OF AN ENERGYSUPPLYING COMPLEX FOR APIARY BASED ON HYBRID SOLAR PLANT
DescriptionIn the article, we present a simulation mathematical model of an energy-supplying complex of apiary based on hybrid solar plant that establishes the relationship between the design and the operating parameters of the complex with when having conducive winter maintenance of bees. Modeling methodology involves the selection into a mathematical model of multiple levels: level of processes, that directly related with changing of climate parameters inside the hive depending on external factors, level of processes of functioning of the individual components in the complex, which are not directly connected with the processes of changing of climate parameters inside the hive, however, are necessary to ensure favorable conditions for wintering of bees. We have conducted the simulation of the complex based on hybrid solar plant for conditions: the location of apiary in the Republic of Mari El (building for placement of bees for 250 bee colonies, the number of photovoltaic modules – 10, wind power plant area – 18 m2 , the capacity of the battery – 50 A·h, the heat accumulator capacity – 3 m3 , the time interval – from 14 October to 14 April). As a result of simulation obtained graphs of the changing the thermal battery coolant temperature, the voltage at the battery terminals, the power wind turbine and PV modules, the electrical energy consumption

INTRODUCTION FEATURES OF RED OAK (QUÉRCUS RÚBRA) IN MARI EL REPUBLIC
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
DescriptionThe research purpose was estimate of the red oak growing suitability in Mari El Republic. To achieve this goal we investigated experienced 44-year-old red oak plantation at the Botanical garden-Institute, determined acorns morphological characteristics of red and English oaks and seedlings grown from them. The evaluation of red oak plantings identified excess of average height and tree diameter in comparison with English oak, but the sanitary condition of both oaks forests was weakened due to the influence of the complex of unfavorable factors. Morphological acorns evaluation showed that the shape factor of acorns of English oak is equal to 1.64, while the red oak is 1.1. Biometrics parameters of red oak bareroote seedlings in the field were higher than English oak bareroote seedlings. In greenhouse biometric parameters of red oak container seedlings had not excess. According to this research, red oak is recommended for use in landscape construction in Mari El Republic

INSTITUTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE: ESSENCE AND CONTENT
DescriptionThe article discusses the concept of "institutional infrastructure" and clarifies its essential content in relation to market cars. In terms of the industry market the main purpose of the institutional infrastructure is achieving the maximum economic benefit within limited resources. The main tasks that need to be solved in order to achieve this goal were formulated. We have developed and proved structurally-logical chart of the elements of the institutional infrastructure. The content of the institutional infrastructure of the car are presented and justified. The analysis condition of the car market’s institutional infrastructure showed the problems associated with the state of institutions which have an impact on the functioning of the car market. Measures to stimulate the car market does not cover entire sector as a whole, and imported institutions do not give the expected effect because of inconsistency formal and informal elements of the institutional infrastructure. Presented assessment of the institutional infrastructure of the car market confirms the dependence of the state of the industry market cars from institutional infrastructure. Only reforming the institutions at all levels of the industry, from production to car sales can have a positive effect on the industry. Changes in the institutional infrastructure should be focused on improving the competitiveness, stability and independence from external factors

MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND FIELD RESEARCH OF FUEL WOOD NATURAL DRYING IN BUNCHES IN THE CUTTING AREA
DescriptionThe purpose of this research is to receive mathematical model of natural drying of the whole trees in bunches in a cutting area based on experimental data. The field research of natural drying from March to October 2015 of the whole trees of pine and birch of different diameter laid definitely in bunches in a cutting area was conducted for this purpose. The mathematical model describing change of moisture content in wood in the course of natural drying in bunches in a cutting area was as a result developed. The received equation of regression defines dependence of average humidity of wood in a bunch from diameter of wood, quantity of a liquid atmospheric precipitation, relative humidity and temperature of air, average speed of the movement of the air blowing in bunch of trees, duration of natural drying. The developed mathematical model allows predicting change of moisture content of wood in the course of natural drying with a margin error less than 5%. Humidity of wood in the course of natural drying from March to October was on average reduced from 52% to 27%. Besides, in article the technology of logging of fuel wood on an energy forest is offered. The technology of stacking of trees in bunches at logging of the fuel wood which is grown up in forest plantations is offered. The results of the research can be used for increase of production efficiency of fuel wood
