  • Productivity of the Main Ear of Winter Soft Wheat Varieties in Ontogenesis
    E3S Web of Conferences 285, 02030 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202128502030 ABR 2021 Productivity of the main ear of winter soft wheat varieties in ontogenesis V. V. Kazakovа*, V. S. Kazakova, N. V. Repko, and V. S. Dinkova Kuban State Agrarian University, 350044, Krasnodar, Russia Abstract. The study of the realization of the productivity potential of the main ear in winter wheat plants shows that the Pamyat variety most fully realizes the inherent genetic potential, forms a well-executed ear, but it is inferior to the experimental varieties in yield, which is explained by a lower level of productive bushiness of this variety. Varieties Kurs, Adel and Kalym, inferior to the ear of the ear, formed high yield indicators, due to a more powerful density of standing ears. Wheat is one of the oldest and most famous agricultural crops. It is not known exactly where wheat originated, but many scientists suggest that the current form of wheat originated from three types of wild cereals that grew in areas of Asia Minor, Southern Europe and North Africa. This is the most valuable and common grain crop grown around the world. The great popularity of wheat is due to the universal use of grain, which has a great nutritional value. Wheat can be used to produce: flour, pasta, confectionery, alcoholic beverages. Grain contains starch, protein, fat, sugars, fiber, ash elements and other substances, while starch – from 40 to 70%, which is more than in any other crop, and the nutritional value of wheat is slightly inferior only to corn.

  • Azov Phenomenon How Ukrai

Dyukov. Issue 3. Editor M.A. Vilkov. Maltsev V. Azov Phenomenon How Ukrainian Neo-Nazis became Influential Political Force / Information Group on Crimes against the Person (IGCP). M.: “Istoricheskaya pamyat” Foundation, 2017. — 98 pages. There were the days when participants of right-wing and neo-Nazi groups in the Ukraine were marginal ones, being expelled to the edge of political and social life. Everything changed in 2014, during the so-called “Revolution of Dignity”. Ukrainian neo-Nazis gained money and weapon, they were given official status as Army, Police and Special Forces units, they got representatives in the Parliament. The history of “Azov” — notorious neo- Nazi detachment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukraine — became an image of such transformation. “Azov” offsprings hold leading offices in Ukrainian Police, raise the youth in neo-Nazi ideology encirclement, effectively expand their representation on the Ukrainian political field and getting ready for the struggle for power. This report is devoted to the process of Ukrainian nationalists becoming influential political power. IGCP, 2017.

Nelson Reading Level *Reading Level: Grades 4 UP Interest Level: Grades 2-8 Guided Reading Level: P Lexile™ Measure: 930 *Reading level based on the Spache Readability Formula Themes Heroism, Patriotism, Personal Courage, Loyalty, Honor, World War II, Native American History National Standards SOCIAL STUDIES: Culture; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions LANGUAGE ARTS: Understanding the Human Experience; Multicultural Understanding Born on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona, Ira Hayes was a bashful boy who never wanted to be the center of attention. At the government-run boarding school he attended, he often felt lonely and out of place. When the United States entered World War II, Hayes joined the Marines to serve his country. He thrived at boot camp and finally felt as if he belonged. Hayes fought honorably on the Pacific front and in 1945 was sent with his battalion to Iwo Jima, a tiny island south of Japan. There he took part in the ferocious fighting to secure the island. On February 23, 1945, Hayes was one of six men who raised the American flag on the summit of Mount Suribachi at the far end of the island. A photographer for the Associated Press, Joe Rosenthal, caught the flag- raising with his camera. Rosenthal’s photo became an iconic image of American courage and is one of the best-known war pictures ever taken. The photograph also catapulted Ira Hayes into the role of national hero, a position he felt he hadn’t earned.
