During the flowering period high ambient temperatures are critical for yield formation. If the air temperature during flowering is above 22℃ the flowers of spring barley become sterile. From 2004 - 2022, a significant and positive correlation (R = 0,57) was observed between the average maximum daily temperature from sowing to ear emergence and the number of empty flowers in the main spike. A significant negative correlation (R = 0,55) was observed between plant height and the sum of precipitation from sowing to ear emergence and spike length and the sum of precipitation from ear emergence to maturity (R = −0,54), drought also negatively affects tillering rate and number of productive stems per plant.The combination of all the above-mentioned conditions significantly impacts the yield of barley. The following and relevant findings are very important for the agricultural sector, especially in the context of climate change. ","PeriodicalId":332103,"journal":{"name":"ENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGIES.

BCR-ABL and B12 dynamics for 11 patients with sufficient number of BCRABL and B12 tests were studied.Oracle Cloud with pseudonymized data replica from more than 350 000 000 original EGL clinical test data was used.

EGL has 30% more C90-92 patients, due to suspected but later unconfirmed cases. Out of 7451 patients 1386 had one B12 test, two- 548, three and more- 864. The patients with diagnosis fluctuating between C90, C91 and C92 were excluded from the study. The data for the time period of 10 years before and after the first diagnosis were analyzed.Results. Methods and tools for data extraction and analysis from large amount of archived clinical test data were developed and applied. High and very high B12 level was observed for 53% of C92 patients starting from 3 years prior to diagnosis. For C90 and C91 patients B12 level changes around the diagnosis date were also observed although the effect was considerably smaller.

It is natural that these simulation modelling processes are closely related to welding, but at the same time it is necessary to take into account particularities that are crucial for WAAM and are not always relevant in welding. In this research, one such model is proposed, which takes into account the gradual filling of the working space with the deposited metal. The specific issues related to the construction of the model, the definition of the heat source and the first layer formation in the conditions of WAAM are considered.

Laser marking is a crucial process for many applications that require high-contrast, durable markings. In this study, we used a Rofin PowerLine F 20 Varia fiber laser to mark titanium Gr 2 with a 6x6 matrix of 5x5 mm squares. We varied the speed (100-1100 mm/s), power (8-18 W), and frequency (100 and 500 kHz) of the laser marking process to investigate their effects on the surface roughness and contrast of the markings. We analyzed the markings using a laser scanning microscope and Adobe Photoshop software. Our results show that the contrast and roughness of the markings were influenced by the frequency, scanning speed, and power. High marking speeds produced lighter markings, while low marking speeds produced darker markings. We also found that the surface roughness increased with higher frequency and powers. Our findings provide valuable insights into the optimal laser marking parameters for titanium Gr 2, which can enhance its performance and durability in various applications.","PeriodicalId":332103,"journal":{"name":"ENVIRONMENT.

This leads to an increase in the extra time for treatment. Reducing the auxiliary time in machining the parts will significantly increase the productivity of the actual milling process. When modeling the process of machining details with complex surfaces on triaxial milling machines, the optimization of the sequence of moves will allow to reduce the idle running time by up to 50% without causing deterioration in the quality of the surface layer.
