. Despite the presence of a wide variety of designs for the transportation of bulk materials in closed technological highways, the problem of their improvement and the search for optimal parameters remains relevant. High productivity and mobility of the loading and unloading technological operations with a minimum degree of damage to the material on complex curved routes can be achieved using flexible screw conveyors. As an object of study there was used a new flexible screw conveyor of an experimental design. To determine the dependence of the torque upon the change in the rotational speed of the screw, the height of the lifted material and the bending radius of the flexible screw-type hinged-sectional working body, the method of a full-factorial experiment was used. It was established that the dominant factor that affects the magnitude of the torque is the frequency of rotation of the working body, but the least influential factor is the bending radius of the flexible screw hinged sectional working body. When changing the frequency of rotation of the working body within the range of 300...800 rpm, the torque increases by 17% for barley and by 18% for technical salt. When the height of lifting the material changes within 1...3 m, the torque increases by 14% for barley and by 16% for technical salt.

The research presents the mathematical model of non-stationary movement of an object in the air, considering that the wind flow might not be constant, as in the example of the vertical wind tunnel. The air flow rate might change its direction and magnitude over time, having variable velocity – a problem not solvable using conventional methods of aerodynamics, drag and lift force. Instead, the air flow around the object is divided into pressure and suction zones, and the angle of attack is variable. A thin flat plate is chosen as the moving object to allow the object not only translational movement, but also one rotational degree of freedom. Differential equations corresponding to a system with three degrees of freedom are presented in the article. Differential-integral equations are obtained and solved numerically using MathCAD software and explicit Euler step integration method. The developed method of motion analysis has been used for solving specific tasks: 1) vertical free fall of the plate in variable wind flow; 2) oscillations of the plate around a stationary base if additional elastic forces of the suspension reaction are applied. In addition, the case of a flapping wing structure in which energy is extracted from the air flow is considered. The obtained results can be used in practice to reduce or increase the interaction of other similar surface objects with air, for example, for sports equipment in competitions and everyday vehicles, as well as for obtaining energy from variable air flow in wind generators.

As fossil energy deposits are exhausted, internal combustion engine vehicles tend to be replaced by electric ones. Electric vehicles have several advantages over internal combustion ones: no exhaust emissions at the site of exploitation, emissions from energy production could be located in less populated areas, emissions are much lower, quieter operation and a two-fold higher efficiency factor of the motor. One of the most significant advantages of operating an electric vehicle in a city is the possibility of energy recovery, which allows the energy regenerated during braking to be charged into the batteries, thus increasing the range. An original research methodology for road testing has been developed and tested. Since regenerative braking usually occurs in parallel with braking by applying the service or friction brakes, it is difficult to determine the maximum amount of energy regenerated, as part of the kinetic energy is also transformed into thermal energy when braking. Therefore, a braking experiment with a converted electric vehicle Renault Clio Electro was performed by braking at different speeds only by means of regenerative braking, using no friction brakes. The experiment was performed in two of the most commonly used gears – second and third. The experiment recorded both the energy consumed to reach a certain speed and the energy returned to the battery during the braking cycle. The highest regenerative braking efficiency was achieved in second gear at a 100% regenerative braking setting, on average 35.1%, yet this regenerative braking setting was difficult to use in real driving conditions due to excessive braking and difficulty in controlling the braking torque and the deceleration of the electric vehicle. Therefore, a regenerative braking setting of no more than 80% is recommended for the experimental prototype in road traffic, reaching a regenerative braking efficiency of 32.5%.

The methods of deposition of nanofibers on a rotating drum and a stationary plate, as well as analysis of mechanical properties of the nanofibers from both collectors, are proposed in this article. The deposition of nanofibers on collectors is crucial, as it is the successful development of nanofibers with various types of collectors, as well as the evaluation and demonstration of their strength and other mechanical properties. The most popular method for producing continuous nanofibers is electro spinning, which involves jetting polymer solutions in high electric fields to produce continuous nanofibers with diameters ranging from 200 to 600 nm. These results were compared using ANSYS, and the material behavior of biaxial nanofibers collected from the spinning collector was identified. The rotating drum collector’s spinning speed causes the fibers to stretch, resulting in alignment and a decrease in diameter. The rotating drum collector adds force to the strong shear and elongation forces that arrange the chains and align the lamellae in the fiber axis direction during the electro-spinning process. As a result, the nanofibers on the rotating drum are aligned uniaxial. It indicates that by altering the collector design, the alignment and mechanical properties of nanofibers can be improved. The results showed that the nanofibers collected from the spinning drum were more consistently aligned (biaxial arrangement) than those obtained from the stationary plate and had Young’s modulus of composite 5.01 GPa and 4.4 GPa respectively, ~9% more strength than the nanofibers collected from flat plate.

The article discusses the experience of Latvian dairy farms in keeping cows in cubicle beds. It has been found that the number of cows kept in this way in the country is increasing every year. If in 2010 about 35% of the total number of dairy cows were kept in the cubicles, now it exceeds 50%. In addition, both high and deep cubicles are common. It was found that the highest milk yields and high milk quality (based on SCC) were obtained using deep cubicle beds in which the cows’ beds were filled with sand. If high cubicle beds or deep cubicle beds with other bedding are used, the milk yield of cows is on average 15% lower. The number of SCC, on the other hand, increases by 50% with high cubicle beds and increases by 40% with deep cubicle beds with other bedding. However, this figure depends to a large extent on the frequency of cleaning the cubicle and the frequency of refilling the bedding material.

Several studies suggest that industrial infrastructure and education need to be adapted in line with the 4 Industrial Revolution. In education, on the one hand, schools, training and university programs need to be adoptive and, on the other hand, an entrepreneurial approach is needed to increase the information technologies and innovation skills of the workforce. To sustain economic growth, emerging economies need education and training programs to develop skills, especially digital, which are increasingly in demand in the labour market. Digital competence is not just the ability to surf the Internet, it can be broken down into many smaller components. It should be also noted that digital competence, can be seen also as a transversal competence, it also helps develop other essential skills, such as communication, language skills or basic knowledge in mathematics or science. The European Commission has developed the Digital Competences Framework for Europeans (DigComp), which is divided into five areas: information and data literacy; communication and cooperation; digital content creation; safety; and problem solving. The empirical part of the study includes a comparative analysis of the use of technology in mathematics studies at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies and the Estonian University of Life Sciences, and a student survey to assess the development of digital competencies in mathematics studies at the university by five components identified in DigComp, as well as to identify which e-learning tools (informative and interactive) and internet resources looking for specific information or using other mathematics software besides MatLab or MathCad are included in the course. The analysis of students’ digital skills shows that these are quite good. However, the biggest problems for students were solving problems, such as storing files in the cloud, editing videos/photos, solving technical problems related to studying mathematics, and solving security problems.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is one of the most frequently used antibiotics. The capacity of conventional wastewater treatment plants to remove such antibiotics is limited, posing a risk of antibiotic resistance genes spreading into the environment. In this study, to carry out biological Fenton reaction under neutral conditions, an anaerobic and aerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) supplemented with magnetite was proposed. This process aims to enhance the treatment of antibiotics in addition to organic pollutants such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) without external addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Mixed anaerobic and aerobic sludge was exposed to alternative anaerobic and aerobic conditions in two identical SBRs with and without magnetite to treat the synthetic wastewater containing 1 mg·L sulfamethoxazole. The experimental results showed that the H2O2 level increased to 34.9 μM under aerobic conditions in the system with magnetite, and similar COD removal was observed in both SBRs. Moreover, enhanced SMX treatment was observed in the SBR with magnetite, while removal efficiencies of SMX gradually decreased in the SBR without magnetite. The experimental results demonstrate that H2O2 generation under aerobic conditions and biological Fenton reaction that can produce hydroxyl radicals led to the enhanced treatment of SMX in the SBR with magnetite. Magnetite as the catalyst was not dissolved during the redox process, indicating the possibility of its reusability. Further studies are needed to analyse the reaction mechanisms and the kinetics in the proposed SBR.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the productivity and potential reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to use of the compact class Malwa harvester 560H and forwarder 560F in thinning of aspen hybrid plantations as well as to indicate the production cost and to analyse the possibility to use forest machines of this class in aspen plantations and to definite the quality of thinning, including the damage to the remaining trees, width of strip-roads, as well as to provide recommendations for the further development of the technology. These parameters have significant effect on productivity, fuel consumption and the vitality of the remaining trees. The productivity and cost are affected by tree dimensions, if the average harvested stem diameter is 12.2 cm, the productivity is 8.63 m per productive hour and the harvesting cost is 12.24 EUR·m, but in average productivity gives a big impact on the cost – 10.96 m per productive hour and harvesting cost – 10.04 EUR·m. The average forwarder load in the study is 4.03 m, forwarding productivity 5.1 m per productive hour and total harvesting and forwarding cost – 21.04 EUR·m. Harvesting related GHG emissions in aspen plantations are 4.12 kg CO2·m, including harvester related emissions – 49% and forwarding – 51%. According to the study results the harvesting GHG emissions using the Malwa harvester and forwarder are significantly smaller than of a middle-class forest machines due to smaller fuel consumption and high productivity values; besides, maintenance and investment costs of compact class machines are significantly smaller. The mechanical damage to roots and stems of the remaining trees during logging is inevitable. This is ensured by the use of recommended working methods setting special attention to the felling direction and the distance between the remaining trees in the stand, as well as avoiding unnecessary movements with the manipulator.
本研究的目的是评估由于使用紧凑型Malwa收割机560H和转发器560F在杨树杂交林间伐中产生的生产力和减少温室气体(GHG)排放的潜力，并指出生产成本，分析在杨树人工林中使用这类森林机器的可能性，并确定间伐的质量，包括对剩余树木的损害，带状道路的宽度，并为该技术的进一步发展提供建议。这些参数对剩余树木的生产力、燃料消耗和活力有显著影响。生产效率和成本受树木尺寸的影响，如果平均采伐茎粗为12.2 cm，生产效率为8.63 m /生产小时，采伐成本为12.24 EUR·m，但平均生产效率对成本的影响较大，为10.96 m /生产小时，采伐成本为10.04 EUR·m。研究中货代的平均载重为4.03米，每生产小时的货代生产率为5.1米，总收获和货代成本为21.04欧元·米。在杨树人工林中，与采伐相关的温室气体排放量为4.12 kg CO2·m，其中与采伐相关的排放量为49%，与运输相关的排放量为51%。研究结果表明，由于燃料消耗小，生产率值高，使用马尔瓦收割机和转运机的采伐温室气体排放量明显小于中等规模的森林机械;此外，紧凑型机器的维护和投资成本明显更小。在采伐过程中，对剩余树木的根和茎造成机械损伤是不可避免的。这是通过使用推荐的工作方法来确保的，特别注意砍伐方向和林内剩余树木之间的距离，以及避免使用机械手进行不必要的运动。

Noticeable climate change around the world has led to the search for more and more low-carbon technologies. Biogas is also produced in Latvia and is used to produce electricity and heat. The use of biomethane in transport needs to be further developed to replace diesel and petrol engines more quickly. In the spring, biogas producers sometimes have difficulty securing good quality raw materials. The raw materials procured in the previous year are not always left in sufficient quantities. It happens that long-term storage of raw materials also breaks down. The amount of manure, which is mainly used by Latvian biogas plants, cannot usually be increased. There is a shortage of raw materials and gas yields are falling. Biomethane yields can be increased by substances that catalyze the anaerobic fermentation process. They can also be found in spring plants. The use of spring plants such as dandelions (taraxacum), which grow over large areas, could improve the situation. The methane potential of dandelions and three other plants was investigated in this study. Plants such as celandine (Chelidonium majus), European twist (Cuscuta europaea) and elderberry (Sambucus nigra) have specific effects. Elderberry and celandine have a healing effect, but the European twist is a parasitic plant. Therefore, it seemed interesting to find out whether these plants will somehow specifically affect the activity of bacteria in the process of anaerobic fermentation. Fourteen bioreactors were filled with fresh plants collected in the field and in the garden on the same day. The two bioreactors were filled with inoculum only. Anaerobic fermentation took place at 38C and lasted from 10.05 to 7.06. The methane potential was 0.486 L·gDOM for dandelions, 0.440 L·gDOM for elderberry leaves, 0.488 L·gDOM for European twist and 0.403 L·gDOM for celandine. All the plants tested are very useful as feedstocks for methane production in anaerobic fermentation. However, expectations that Sambucus nigra, Chelidonium majus and Cuscuta europaea will show some catalytic properties for anaerobic fermentation were not met.
