  "abstract": "Connectedness percolation phenomena in two-dimensional packings of elongated particles (discorectangles) were studied numerically. The packings were produced using random sequential adsorption (RSA) off-lattice model with preferential orientations of particles along a given direction. The partial ordering was characterized by order parameter $S$, with $S=0$ for completely disordered films (random orientation of particles) and $S=1$ for completely aligned particles along the horizontal direction $x$. The aspect ratio (length-to-width ratio) for the particles was varied within the range $\\varepsilon \\in [1;100]$. Analysis of connectivity was performed assuming a core-shell structure of particles. The value of $S$ affected the structure of packings, formation of long-range connectivity and electrical conductivity behavior. The effects were explained accounting for the competition between the particles' orientational degrees of freedom and the excluded volume effects. For aligned deposition, the anisotropy in electrical conductivity was observed and the values along alignment direction, $\\sigma_x$, were larger than the values in perpendicular direction, $\\sigma_y$. The anisotropy in localization of percolation threshold was also observed in finite sized packings, but it disappeared in the limit of infinitely large systems.",
