Aging of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Insulation Cable Lines by I. V. Oleksyuk

“…Conventionally, all factors influencing one or another degree on the cable insulation resource can be divided into thermal, electromagnetic, climatic, mechanical and operational. The most significant reason for the insulation aging  is high temperature, which accelerates the reaction of thermo-oxidative destruction, during which high-molecular polymer compounds decompose. …”

V.N. Institute of Forest Arboretum, Krasnoyarsk as the Object of Ecological Education by Bazhina Ekaterina Alexandrovna, Bazhina Elena Vasilievna, Koretc Mihail Anatolievitch

“…The collection of plants presented in the Arboretum of the Forest Institute allows conducting lectures-excursions (storytelling against the background of live objects), during which students develop a certain approach to explaining the phenomena of nature, understanding the biological and ecological characteristics of various species of conifers, in particular, their ability to adapt to climatic fluctuations. The Arboretum is a special type of communicative space, in which the properties and relations of external objects surrounding the student stimulate mental processes that awaken interest in learning, which contributes to better perception and memorisation of information. …”

Evolution on Ecological Carrying Capacity of Dualistic Water in County Scale Based on Matter Element Analysis Model by ZUO Taian, ZHANG Fengtai, YU Shijie, YANG Qing

“…The water ecological carrying capacity contains the water resource carrying capacity and the water environment carrying capacity.As one of the basic studies for integrated management of the water ecological system,this capacity connects socioeconomic development and the water ecological system.Hence its dynamic evolution reflects the dynamic equilibrium between the water ecological system and socioeconomic system.By taking the poverty-stricken Weining County in karst regions as an example,based on matter element analysis model,this paper sets up an evaluation indicator system for the ecological carrying capacity of dualistic water in county scale,and simulates the evolution of the ecological carrying capacity of dualistic water in Weining County between 2006 and 2017.The study shows that:The ecological carrying capacity of dualistic water in Weining County followed the tendency of turning for the better between 2006 and 2017.The technological advances and growing concern to the water ecological environment are two major causes of continual increases in its ecological carrying capacity of water.The ecological carrying capacity of dualistic water of Weining County between 2006 and 2017 was a tolerable level.However,the level shifted to weakly tolerable level in 2006 and 2011,meaning that the capacity was unstable and subject to extreme climatic changes.So,efforts should be made to consolidate existing achievements.Hence attention should be paid by Weining County to the dynamic changes in the reservoir filling,grade of water quality in lakes and rivers,recycle rate of industrial water,water resources per capita,water consumption per capita,and the rate of water-served population.The study will provide references for the water resource safety,ecological safety,and environmental construction in karst regions.…”
