The significant part of our country's roads is subject to snowdrifts in winter. To ensure smooth and uninterrupted traffic in road transport during winter time, road facilities have to use vast amounts of mechanized and manual labor, as well as spend large sums of money. There are cases of snowdrifts on roads and interruptions in the traffic of road transport causing serious damage to the national economy of the country. Road workers face an important task of ensuring uninterrupted traffic in road transport in winter and reduce the cost of the road maintenance. In this regard, road facilities use a variety of means in order to protect motor roads from snow drifts: installation of portable shields, permanent fences, snow-protective plantings of various widths and structures. The evidence from practice shows that forest stand is the most durable, reliable and economical means of protecting roads from snowdrifts (snow breaking tree belts)

In the review article we present a comparative analysis of frost resistance of varieties of winter barley and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) by the results of freezing in the refrigerating chambers and by the hygroscopicity of mature grain. On the example of a number of varieties of both cultures, it is shown that the higher the frost resistance of the variety, the smaller the volume of the supernatant can be obtained by extracting the press cake with a solution containing magnesium cations. It is assumed that increased hygroscopicity of winter barley and sunflower press cake is associated with a relatively high content of so - called "water-soluble starch" - β-glucan polysaccharides in its grain. The possibility of regulation of the degree of hygroscopicity under the influence of potassium (KNO3), zinc (ZnSO4) and gibberellic acid (GA3) was studied on a number of sunflower varieties. It was shown that treatment with a solution of potassium (a concentration of 50 ppm KNO3) of sunflower plants at the stage of 4 leaves leads to a significant increase in hygroscopicity of grain and hardiness of plants, little effect was given treatment with zinc (30 ppm ZnSO4) and a lesser effect was observed when treating plants gibberellovaja acid (20 ppm). Potassium treatment significantly intensified the biosynthesis of free Proline, phenolic compounds and soluble proteins. When processing zinc significantly increased the content of carbohydrates in sunflower plants. Hygroscopicity showed a significant correlation with the content of free Proline (R2=0.621), phenolic compounds (R2=0.907), total carbohydrates (R2=0.673) and soluble proteins (R2=0.708). It is assumed that the treatment of plants with potassium and zinc plays a key role in increasing the hygroscopicity of grain. The results of comparative studies of frost resistance on the degree of survival of plants during freezing in cold rooms and the degree of hygroscopicity of mature grain showed that these two methods of assessing frost resistance give very close data. At the same time, in terms of simplicity and low economic costs, the proposed method of assessing frost resistance is many times superior to the method of direct freezing of plants

14 January 2019 at the website of the higher attestation Commission of the Russian Federation http://vak.ed.gov.ru/87 the information appeared: "About refining of scientific specialties and their respective fields of science where publications are included in the List of peer-reviewed scientific publications, where basic scientific results of dissertations on competition of a scientific degree of candidate of Sciences, on competition of a scientific degree of the doctor of Sciences must be published ". It is reported that according to the recommendation of the HAC for other publications included in the List of groups of scientific specialties, the work on refining scientific specialties and branches of science will be continued in 2019. This work is a continuation of the author's series of works on cognitive linguistics. It offers innovative intelligent technology to automate the solution of the problem formulated by the higher attestation Commission of the Russian Federation above. With the use of the automated system-cognitive analysis (ASC-analysis) and its programmatic toolkit which is intellectual system called "Eidos" directly on the basis of official texts of passports of scientific specialties of the higher attestation Commission of the Russian Federation, there were established their semantic kernels, and then, implemented the automatic classification of scientific texts (articles, monographs, textbooks, etc.) on the specialties and groups of specialties of the higher attestation Commission of the Russian Federation. Traditionally, this task is solved by dissertation councils, as well as editorial boards of scientific publications, i.e. by experts, on the basis of expert assessments, in an informal way, on the basis of experience, intuition and professional competence. However, the traditional approach has a number of serious drawbacks that impose significant limitations on the quality and volume of analysis. Therefore, the efforts of researchers and developers to overcome these limitations are relevant. Currently, there are all grounds to consider these restrictions as unacceptable, because they are not only necessary, but also quite possible to overcome. Thus, there is a problem, the solution of which is the subject of consideration in this article. A detailed numerical example of solving the problem on real data is given as well
