The present research was carried out to ascertain the impact of nano-fertilizers (ZnO and FeO) and integrated nutrients management (Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) & Azotobacter) on strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) Cv. Winter Dawn. The results of present work showed different treatments of nano fertilizers and nutrients management has variable impact on strawberry growth such as treatment 7 (T7: 50% Recommended dose of fertilizer) + FYM + vermicompost + Azotobacter + 150 ppm nano-ZnO + 150 ppm nano-FeO) showed highest growth parameters regarding number of leaves (14), plant height (11.24 cm), leaf area (74.86 cm2) and chlorophyll content (52.41 μmol/m2) etc. compared with other treatments. However, treatment (T9: 50% RDF + FYM + vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB + nano-ZnO + nano-FeO) indicated bit similar regarding number of leaves (13.33), plant height (11.96 cm), leaf area (74.08 cm2) and chlorophyll content (53.06 μmol/m2) etc. The biochemical parameters were also observed higher in treatment (T9). Considering above results, it can be concluded that the dose, i. e., 50% RDF along with FYM, vermicompost and Azotobactor + ZnO + FeO (150 ppm) could enhance growth and yield of strawberry.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138981096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The determination of the total content of hydrocarbons and oil hydrocarbons was made by gas chromatography method; the trace elements were measured by ICP-MS technique after chemical treatment of samples. The content of oil hydrocarbons in the Ham Luong River water ranged from 0.042 to 0.076 mg/l. These values were quite high, exceeding the sanitary standard (0.05 mg/l) for fishery reservoirs, or approaching it, but they were lower compared to Vietnam national standard for domestic supply water (0.1 mg/l). The content of hydrocarbons in suspended matter was in the range of 0.011–0.37 mg/l. The concentrations of 15 trace elements were studied, nine of them (Ni, Fe, V, As, Se, Be, Cd, Sb, Tl) did not exceed any of the established regulatory limits of concentration for surface water. However, concentrations of six trace elements (Pb, Zn, Cu, Co, Ag, Mo) were found to exceed the standard regulatory limits. Among the studied 15 trace elements, critical and potentially critical elements were identified, which are subject to primary monitoring control. Chemoecological studies of water quality are important for monitoring of the ecological and sanitary water state for ensure the quality of consumed natural resources and to preserve the biological diversity of the Mekong Delta ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"11 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138979777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vertical discontinuities such as reverse faults, also known as tectonic faults, can easily be distinguished through their effect on gravity and magnetic fields, appearing as gradient zones or areas of change in the field. However, identifying strike-slip faults is one of the biggest challenges for potential field methods as they are characterized by a complex series of anomalies with varying signs in the fault zone, as well as displacement of anomaly axes between the strike-slipped blocks. The goal of this study is to suggest a transformation that would aid in the identification of shear zones through the calculation of the displacement along the discontinuity. The proposed approach involves calculating the correlation coefficient between parallel profiles using moving windows. The position of the window with the highest calculated correlation coefficient allows estimating of the discontinuity displacement magnitude. The method was tested using a synthetic field and data from the magnetic field of the Kolbeinsi Ridge.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods of multivariate regression analysis and correlation analysis are used. Results of the regression analysis show a spatially coherent response of SST to LOD variations on the multidecadal time scale. The earlier response is peculiar to the north and tropical Atlantic where the multidecadal SST variations are approximately opposite to the LOD variations. In the most remaining parts of the oceans, except especially in the Nino 3.4 region of the equatorial east Pacific, the multidecadal SST variations are generally lagged relative to the antiphase variations of the LOD. Smoothing of SST averaged over different areas and of the global mean SL shows that the intra-annual variations include inter-decadal, 20–30-year, multidecadal, 60–70-year, components that correspond to similar oscillation components in the LOD. The most striking correspondence of the two components is observed between the LOD and SST averaged over the Nino 3.4 region. Generally, there are significant correlations of the intra-centennial variations on the averaged and smoothed SST series and global mean SL with the LOD variations. We propose that angular momentum exchange processes involving oceanic circulation and interactions between the Earth’s core and the mantle play probably a part in the observed relationships of intra-centennial variations in oceanic parameters with variations in the LOD.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135579917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the analysis of difference pseudo-sections of apparent resistivity, constructed based on the results of ERT monitoring, the most informative pseudo-depth interval from the point of view of geoelectric activity was determined for all three monitoring profiles. Accordingly, for a pseudo-depth of 24 m on each monitoring profile, an assessment was made of the geodynamic activity of these sections of the Issyk-Ata fault based on an analysis of the magnitude of two parameters: the amplitude of apparent resistivity variations and the correlation coefficient of electrical resistivity variations with lunar-solar solid tides. High values of these parameters, in our opinion, determine the location of modern active fault zones.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Bloch mode is a product of a field of the same periodicity as the perturbed state and a planar harmonic wave, exp(iq · x). Such a mode is characterized by the ratio of spatial scales which, for simplicity, we identify with the length |q| < 1 of the Bloch wave vector q. Computations have revealed that the Bloch modes, whose growth rates are maximum over q, feature the scale ratio that decreases on increasing the nondimensionalized molecular diffusivity and/or viscosity from 0.03 to 0.3, and the scale separation is high (i.e., |q| is small) only for large molecular diffusivities. Largely this conclusion holds for all the three stability problems and all the three energy spectra types under consideration. Thus, in a natural MHD system not affected by strong diffusion, a given scale range gives rise to perturbations involving only moderately larger spatial scales (i.e., |q| only moderately small), and the MHD evolution consists of a cascade of processes, each generating a slightly larger spatial scale; flows or magnetic fields characterized by a high scale separation are not produced. This cascade is unlikely to be amenable to a linear description. Consequently, our results question the allegedly high role of the α-effect and eddy diffusivity that are based on spatial scale separation, as the primary instability or magnetic field generating mechanisms in astrophysical applications. The Braginskii magnetic α-effect in a weakly non-axisymmetric flow, often used for explanation of the solar and geodynamo, is advantageous not being upset by a similar deficiency.","PeriodicalId":44680,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Earth Sciences","volume":"2011 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134903176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
