To narrow the search results, you can refine the query by specifying the fields to search on. The list of fields is presented above. For example:
You can search across multiple fields at the same time:
logical operators
The default operator is AND.
Operator AND means that the document must match all the elements in the group:
research development
Operator OR means that the document must match one of the values in the group:
study OR development
Operator NOT excludes documents containing this element:
study NOT development
Search type
When writing a query, you can specify the way in which the phrase will be searched. Four methods are supported: search based on morphology, without morphology, search for a prefix, search for a phrase.
By default, the search is based on morphology.
To search without morphology, it is enough to put the "dollar" sign before the words in the phrase:
$ study $ development
To search for a prefix, you need to put an asterisk after the query:
study *
To search for a phrase, you need to enclose the query in double quotes:
" research and development "
Search by synonyms
To include synonyms of a word in the search results, put a hash mark " #
" before a word or before an expression in brackets.
When applied to one word, up to three synonyms will be found for it.
When applied to a parenthesized expression, a synonym will be added to each word if one was found.
Not compatible with no-morphology, prefix, or phrase searches.
# study
grouping
Parentheses are used to group search phrases. This allows you to control the boolean logic of the request.
For example, you need to make a request: find documents whose author is Ivanov or Petrov, and the title contains the words research or development:
Approximate word search
For approximate search you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a word in a phrase. For example:
bromine ~
The search will find words such as "bromine", "rum", "prom", etc.
You can optionally specify the maximum number of possible edits: 0, 1, or 2. For example:
bromine ~1
The default is 2 edits.
Proximity criterion
To search by proximity, you need to put a tilde " ~ " at the end of a phrase. For example, to find documents with the words research and development within 2 words, use the following query:
" research development "~2
Expression relevance
To change the relevance of individual expressions in the search, use the sign " ^
" at the end of an expression, and then indicate the level of relevance of this expression in relation to the others.
The higher the level, the more relevant the given expression.
For example, in this expression, the word "research" is four times more relevant than the word "development":
study ^4 development
By default, the level is 1. Valid values is a positive real number.
Search within an interval
To specify the interval in which the value of some field should be, you should specify the boundary values in brackets, separated by the operator TO.
A lexicographic sort will be performed.
Such a query will return results with the author starting from Ivanov and ending with Petrov, but Ivanov and Petrov will not be included in the result.
To include a value in an interval, use square brackets. Use curly braces to escape a value.

Okay, okay, I'll put a samovar for a friend, - said the squirrel. - If only you would bring me birch branches, I would burn coals from them.
And the squirrel was cunning. She felt sorry for her reserves. And she purposely sent the hare away.
But the squirrel did not have time to thread a needle into the needle to fix the bag for nuts, and the hare was already right there.
- 
Here, get the birch branches, troublemaker.
Why, it’s not difficult to find a birch, - said the hare, - from the edge you can see how the birch tree is turning white.
"That's right," thought the squirrel. And let's get smarter:
I will have coals, but I have nothing to kindle them with. If you would bring me aspen branches, I would make matches out of them.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, you won’t find aspen soon in winter!”
But the squirrel did not have time to put the first patch on the bag: to live, and the hare was already right there.
Here, get aspen branches, troublemaker.
You quickly turned around, said the squirrel.
Why, it’s not difficult to find an aspen, ”said the hare,“ an aspen stands like a palisade. Aspens are thin, straight, gray-green, and their bark is bitter.

We will feast with you, but what is a feast without music? Would you bring me maple logs. I would make a balalaika out of them.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, you won’t find maple in the winter!”
But before she had time to put the first bag of nuts on her shoulders, the hare was right there.
Come on, get your maple logs, you buster.
You quickly turned around, said the squirrel.
Why, it’s not difficult to find a maple tree, - said the hare, - it has all the branches, all the twigs sit in pairs, and each crosses with the other.

Everything, everything she instructed, as for a big feast.
And when he and the hare had a little refreshment, the squirrel adjusted the maple balalaika and began to play. And then they had such fun with the hare that even all the nearby trees that evening regretted that they had no legs to dance.

How trees and other plants winter: informative stories and fairy tales about trees in winter for children, observations of trees in nature, videos for children.
How do trees winter?
Goes last month winters. Outside, frost. People changed into warm winter jackets, fur coats, sheepskin coats. Animals also walk in a fierce cold in warm winter coats. But what about the trees? Do they have coats? It turns out there is! Walking with your child on the street, go up to the trees, stroke their bark and tell us about the unusual fur coats invisible to us that trees wear in winter! 🙂
How trees hibernate: Do trees have winter coats?
In winter, all trees sleep. They stop eating and growing. In the "sleep" consumes less nutrients and warmth, which helps the trees survive the cold, harsh winters.
Are trees ready for winter? Of course!
Firstly, in the summer all the trees prepared warm "fur coats" for themselves. What are these coats? A “fur coat” for a tree is a cork fabric under the bark that does not release heat from the tree and does not allow water and air to pass through. It is this "fur coat" that does not allow the tree to freeze even in the most severe frosts.
Secondly, in autumn the trees shed their leaves. Fallen leaves on the ground lay like a warm blanket and protected the roots of trees from freezing - they warmed them.
Where do cracks in tree bark come from?
Probably all of you have seen the cracks in the trees. Review them with your child. I wonder where they come from?
The reason is simple. An unexpected thaw will come in winter, and at night it will suddenly burst hard frost. And the "fur coats" of trees cool and shrink - "shrink" and ... tear. These cracks remain in the tree for its entire life.
Can frost kill a tree?
Discuss with the child on this topic, listen to his suggestions. And then read the answer to this question, which you will find in the story of V. Bianchi
W. Bianchi. Forest in winter
Can frost kill a tree?
Of course it can.
If the tree freezes through and through, to the very core, it will die. In especially severe winters with little snow, many trees perish in our country, mostly young ones. All the trees would have perished if each tree hadn’t cunningly to keep warm in itself, not to allow frost deep inside itself.
Feeding, growing, producing offspring - all this requires a large expenditure of strength, energy, a large expenditure of one's heat. And now the trees, having gathered strength over the summer, refuse to eat by winter, stop eating, stop growing, do not spend energy on reproduction. They become inactive, fall into a deep sleep.
The leaves exhale a lot of heat, down with the leaves for the winter! Trees throw them off themselves, refuse them in order to keep the warmth necessary for life. And by the way, the leaves thrown from the branches, rotting on the ground, themselves give warmth and protect the delicate roots of trees from freezing.
Little of! Each tree has a shell that protects the living flesh of the plant from frost. All summer, every year, trees lay porous cork tissue under the skin of their trunk and branches - a dead layer. The cork does not let water or air through. The air stagnates in its pores and does not allow heat to radiate from the living body of the tree. How older tree, the thicker in it cork layer, which is why old, thick trees tolerate cold better than young trees with thin trunks and branches.
Little and cork shell. If the severe frost manages to break through under it, it will meet reliable chemical defenses in the living body of the plant. By winter, various salts and starch, converted into sugar, are deposited in the sap of trees. A solution of salts and sugar is very cold-resistant.
But the best protection against frost is a fluffy snow cover. It is known that caring gardeners deliberately bend chilly young fruit trees to the ground and throw snow at them: it is warmer for them. In snowy winters, snow, like a duvet, covers the forest, and even then the forest is not afraid of any cold.
No, no matter how severe the frost - it will not kill our northern forest!
Our Prince Bova will stand against all storms and snowstorms.
Ask the children after reading the story:
- How do trees "cheat" frosts? How do they prepare for them?
- Which trees are more afraid of frost - young thin or old and thick? Why? It is very important that the child understands the logical cause-and-effect relationships, and can explain the reason. And not just memorized the “correct answer”.
- What is the best frost protection? How do people help bushes and trees survive the fierce winter? Do your grandparents help plants in the country before winter - prepare them for wintering? How?
Video for children about the life of trees in winter
There is a video based on my article. Quite by accident, I found it on the Internet. They didn’t take my consent to create this video, they didn’t indicate the authorship either, but the video turned out to be interesting for children, so I decided to post it in the article. In the video - reading my story about trees (which you read above) is given, accompanied by pictures.
Who hibernates how: how do grasses hibernate?
Herbs are annual and perennial. Annual plants produce seeds in autumn and die. And perennials are preparing for winter. They accumulate "food" in the rhizomes for the winter. And they hide under a thick layer of fluffy white snow - they spend the winter there. Snow for them is like a fluffy warm carpet that warms the grasses and prevents them from freezing. When the snow melts in spring, it will water the earth, and the grasses will grow well again.
Some plants keep their leaves for the winter. For example, lingonberries hibernate under the snow with green leaves. Cranberries also hibernate even with berries. And in the spring you can collect overwintered cranberries. They are said to be very sweet.
Listen to how Cowberry and Cranberry talked to each other in winter under the snow.
E. Shim "Cowberry and Cranberry"
And I, lingonberry, have something to eat! Under the snow, I saved the green leaves until spring, and even - hee-hee! - berries...
Think berries! Wrinkled, sour.
Why, spring is such a rarity!
Nothing is rare. Here, at Cranberry, I have a lot of berries under the snow. And not your couple: large, sweet, tender ... Even better than in autumn!
Hard in winter forest dwellers. So the bunny dreams of green grass and juicy leaves. Where can you find them in winter? Guessed? You want to know? The mouse will tell us the secret - vole. Listen to how she talked to the bunny in the winter forest.
N. Sladkov. Hare and vole
Bunny - Frost and blizzard, snow and cold. If you want to smell green grass, gnaw on juicy leaves - endure until spring. And where else is that spring - beyond the mountains and beyond the seas ...
Mouse - Not beyond the seas, Hare, spring is not far off, but under your feet! Dig the snow to the ground - there are green lingonberries, and strawberries, and dandelions. And sniff and eat.
Grasses are the youngest and youngest winterers! Read to the children a story about how young winterers live in winter
V. Bianchi "Young winterers"
Trees and perennial grasses are ready for wintering. And annual grasses have already scattered their seeds.
But not all annuals will overwinter as seeds. Some of them have already sprouted. A lot of annual weeds sprouted in the dug-up vegetable gardens. On the bare dark earth, rosettes of notched shepherd's purse leaves are visible, and fluffy leaves of purple lamb that look like nettles, and a tiny fragrant chamomile, and pansies, and yarutka, and, of course, the annoying wood lice. All these plants are going to winter, live under the snow until next autumn.
Tales and stories about trees in winter
Why do trees lose leaves in winter?
You will find a very unusual and very poetic answer to this question in a wonderful cartoon made by children based on a Danish legend.
Pavlova N. Trees in winter. Story
Everything green that was so pleasing to the eye in spring and summer has disappeared or is hidden deep under the snow.
Pines, spruces and bare crowns of the sleeping deciduous trees- that's all that can now be observed from flora. Well, what! And it's better than nothing.
If it is pleasant to see a linden, maple or oak in summer, it is twice as pleasant to recognize them when meeting in winter. To learn from afar, as you recognize an old acquaintance by his gait, by some gesture peculiar to him alone.
Here is a tree in the distance, in which all the branches are curved, smoothly roundly curved - in the middle they bend down, at the top they rise again. This is a linden. You can check whether winged linden nuts are probably still preserved on it or under it in the snow.
And here is a powerful tree with dried leaves on the tops of the branches. This is oak. He never has time to drop all the foliage before frost, and the dead leaves remain on the branches.
And it may not be so easy to recognize this small tree from a distance, but you won’t be mistaken from a distance: no other tree has such small black cones as an alder.
And at the ash tree, whole bunches of long narrow fruit-lionfish hang on the branches. Thanks to these long lionfish, you cannot confuse ash with maple. And so they have a common feature that is not found in our other trees: all their branches are arranged in pairs.
This is the best sign to distinguish maple. After all different maples there are a lot in gardens and parks, and their leaves are so diverse that sometimes you don’t want to believe that they are all maples.
But one has only to look at how these leaves sit, how the branches are arranged, to make sure.
Here are a couple of young shoots, a second one crossed over it, higher, crossed again ...
Yes, it's maple for sure!
And here's the tree...
However, everyone in his own way can learn to recognize trees and shrubs in winter. It is not difficult, because they have preserved so many signs!
And now I would like to give more advice to those who miss the beauty of nature, who yearn to relive joy, delight and amazement.
I warmly advise you to get on skis and go to a young spruce forest.
No words can convey the charm of a fabulously magnificent magical forest completely transformed by a snow sculpture.
It cannot be conveyed. This must be seen for yourself.
Fairy tale tree. G. Tsyferov
» The Little Bear was friends with a tree. One day the Tree said to him:
- Autumn soon.
- And how did you guess, - Bear cub was surprised, - after all, you don’t even have eyes?
Stop reading the story and ask the kid how the tree knew that autumn had come and winter would be coming soon? How could it feel it if it has no eyes?
And then read Tree's answer:
“But I feel everything,” answered the Tree. - I used to hold hot hands in green palms. Sun rays, now I feel: they have become cold.
Ask the kid what kind of green palms do trees have? How do they feel that winter is coming soon and it's time to prepare for it? (the day is getting shorter, the air is getting colder)
How trees hibernate: we observe trees on a walk with children
In winter, it is very convenient to view the trees. Here are some ideas for observing with children:
Observation 1. Trees and bushes. Trees have one trunk - large, powerful, it starts from the roots near the ground and goes up to the branches. What is the difference between a bush and a tree? The bush has several trunks, as if thick branches stick out of the ground. Find with your child some trees and some shrubs in the yard and in the park. Name them to your child.
Observation 2. Crown of trees and their bark. How to distinguish trees in winter from each other when there are no leaves on them? By crown or bark. For example, the crown of a birch is different in that its branches hang down - “drooping crown”. And the oak has a sprawling crown, of a different shape - like a tent, a dome, the branches are thick, winding. The bark of trees is also different - stroke it, take a closer look, tell us how you can tell from the bark what kind of tree it is (oak, birch, mountain ash, linden, poplar). In birch and aspen, the bark is smooth, but different in color. Spruce is rough. Ash has cracks. In oak - thick, with deep cracks. In pine - lamellar, with, as it were, lagging plates.
Teach your child to distinguish trees from each other in winter. This fascinating cognitive fairy tale for kids N. Pavlova "Winter Feast". And when the children learn to distinguish trees, play speech game- a riddle. You describe the tree (trunk, bark, branches), and the children guess. Then the children ask you their riddles, and you guess.
N. Pavlova. winter revelry
The hare fed the lame squirrel all summer: the mischievous boy broke her paw. And when the squirrel recovered, she said goodbye to the hare and said:
Thank you, bunny, thank you! Look, don't make any stocks for the winter. In the summer you fed me, in the winter I will feed you.
But since that day the hare has not seen the squirrel. The last grass disappeared under the snow. And the hare was left to devour, only bare twigs and bark. In bad weather, he often went hungry. Then he remembered the squirrel, and he became more cheerful: “I only have to find it, then we will live!” And finally the hare stumbled upon the squirrel. She was sitting on a branch near her hollow.
Hello, - shouted the hare, - what a blessing that I found you! After all, I haven't eaten anything since this morning.
Okay, okay, I'll put a samovar for a friend, - said the squirrel. - If only you would bring me birch branches, I would burn coals from them.
And the squirrel was cunning. She felt sorry for her reserves. And she deliberately sent the hare away. "Someday he will find birch thought the squirrel. “In the meantime, I will slowly drag all my supplies into another hollow and pretend that the marten has eaten me.”
But before the squirrel had time to thread the needle to mend the bag, the hare was right there.
Here, get the birch branches, busybodies!
Why birch is easy to find, - said the hare, - from the edge you can see how the birch tree is turning white.
I will have coals, but I have nothing to kindle them with. If you would bring me aspen branches, I would make matches out of them.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, aspen you won’t find it soon in winter: after all, without leaves, all trees are similar to each other, one white birch is different from all.
But before the squirrel had time to put the first patch on the bag, the hare was already right there.
Here, get aspen branches, troublemaker.
You turned around quickly, said the squirrel.
Why aspen is easy to find- said the hare, - the little aspen stands like a palisade. Aspens are thin, straight, gray-green, and their bark is bitter.
"That's right," thought the squirrel. And let's get smarter:
I'll put the samovar, but how will I set the table? Because I don't have a table. You would bring me oak logs, I would saw wood, I would make an oak table.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, oak You won’t find it soon in winter.”
But before the squirrel had time to put ten nuts into a bag, the hare was already right there.
Come on, get your oak logs, troublemaker.
You turned around quickly, said the squirrel.
Why oak is easy to find- said the hare, - big, fat and clumsy, and dried leaves hang on the branches in winter, like flags.
"That's right," thought the squirrel. And let's get smarter:
I’ll make a table, but there’s nothing to shuffle around it with. Would you bring me a lime washcloth.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, linden You won’t find it soon in winter!”
But before the squirrel had time to tie up a bag of nuts, the hare was right there.
Here, get a fake washcloth, troublemaker.
You quickly turned around.
Why lime is easy to find- said the hare, - each branch in the middle of it bent, as if a bear cub was sitting on it in this place.
"That's right," thought the squirrel. And let's get smarter:
We will feast with you, but what is a feast without music? Would you bring me maple logs. I would make a balalaika out of them.
I’ll bring it, I’ll bring it, troublesome, ”said the hare and rushed off.
And the squirrel thinks: “Well, maple“You won’t find it soon in the winter!”
But before she had time to put the first bag of nuts on her shoulders, the hare was right there.
Come on, get your maple logs, you buster.
You turned around quickly, said the squirrel.
Why maple is easy to find, - said the hare, - all his twigs sit in pairs, that's how a person stands, he raised his hands up: the body is a branch, his hands are twigs. You were the only one who drove me, you troublemaker! Well, nothing, it’s a shame not to try for such a holiday. And my paws are big, strong, not like yours. When I bandaged your paw in the summer, I kept wondering how such paws can withstand your jumps?
Then the squirrel remembered how the hare looked after her, how he fed her all summer, and the squirrel felt ashamed. She felt so ashamed that she blushed all over and went from gray to red again.
Sit a little bit, bunny, - said the squirrel softly and kindly. - I'll cook everything now.
And she quickly made matches out of aspen, lit birch coals, melted the samovar, made an oak table, scoured it with a lime washcloth and pointed all sorts of things at it. Instructed everything, as for a big feast. And when he and the hare had a little refreshment, the squirrel adjusted the maple balalaika and began to play. And then they had such fun with the hare that even all the nearby trees regretted that they had no legs to dance that evening.
Read this fairy tale at home with your child, and then on a walk, find those trees that are mentioned in the fairy tale. Will the kid be able to complete the tasks of the squirrel - will he find the trees named by her? You can print out the text of the fairy tale and take it with you for a walk to read fragments - how did the bunny find different trees in the forest.
Observation 3. Show your child frozen branches of trees or bushes (they look glassy on some winter days). Handsomely? For us, yes! But the trees are not happy in such ice! Explain that branches are especially fragile at this time. And so they break easily. Therefore, in frosty days you need to be especially careful with trees and shrubs - they are easy to break.
Observation 4 Consider the fluffy snow blanket that covers the tree and the snow caps on its branches. Admire the snow caps on the trees during a snowfall. Play a game to develop the imagination “What does the resulting figure look like? "
