In this report, we propose an approach to the automatic extraction of such components of the image, that are most useful for human observers to solve the recognition task. This approach is based on the concepts of psychophysiological mechanisms of grouping the simple features at the preattentive stages of visual processing. A method is based on digital image processing by a software implemented model "filter-rectify-filter". The extraction of the most informative areas of the photograph is based on finding local maxima of the model "outputs". The calculation results indicate that the areas of the image containing spatial modulations of the local features may be very useful for the recognition of faces.

This paper proposes a new approach to railway vehicles localization based on image processing method consists in the recognition of the railway car coupler on the graphical images obtained by cameras of versatile automatic recognition system for railway cars’ numbers (versatile ARS-RCN system). A model based on the recognition of the coupling of the real-valued negative selection algorithm with variable-sized detectors was developed. Computational experiments that showed the effectiveness of developed model in comparison with the classical support vector machine on real data collected on one the versatile ARS-RCN system object were performed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach in the duplicated mode (using two cameras) and in combination with the basic method of localization of mobile units on the basis of inductive sensors passing wheels was showed.

The authors, based on the study of historical materials, analysis of architectural solutions constructed buildings, as well as the design of local architects, associate a symbol, Nalchik - a Shoe with his name. On the basis of various examples show the use of the symbol of the city - horseshoe as an architectural element (image) buildings and structures (entry sign, in Nalchik, the architect W. H. Carter; project stables Nalchik Hippodrome, architect W. L. Aliev; the reconstruction project of the shopping center "Nalchik", architects design Studio "KabBalktelecom"; project Newsstand, in Nalchik, the architect W. L. Eliev). The authors emphasize a pretty bad use of the symbol of the city horseshoe in the reconstruction of the shopping center "Nalchik": designed space-sham construction on the corner of the building facing the intersection of two main avenues, Nalchik, etc. to them. Kuliev, etc. to them. Lenin. In the final part of the article the authors recommend local architects often prinosit national motifs (based on the rich national culture of the indigenous peoples inhabiting the Republic) in the development of their projects, and to use the symbol, Nalchik is a horseshoe, as the architectural tectonics in the projected buildings.

The paper presents the results of computational statistical experiment to estimate field radiation exposure on the soft tissue of the human body when external pressures are nondivergent narrow beam of gamma photon radiation. As an example, adopted the energy of a photon that enters 102 group energy axis constant laboratory ABBN. Given dose distribution in a cylinder diameter of 20 and a length of 10 centimeters. The method of statistical tests, known as Monte Carlo. Is used modify of the method with calculation the inverse functions. It is shown that the dose outside the beam ionization radiation load decreases by two orders, remains finite, that should be considered in therapeutic procedures, in which the total dose exceeds the lethal dose for a healthy bod

The paper proposes a model, based on which the automatic control of the dynamics of the development of skills based on the principles of iterative learning that provides the gradual formation of skills trained at repeated the exercise on a computer simulator under repeatability conditions. This is achieved by calculating the automated training system intermediate threshold of the complex coefficient with the development of mathematical models using iterative learning. The value of this ratio affects the formation of the control actions. In the short term plan to implement algorithms, software and information support automated training system in accordance with the proposed model of calculating the intermediate complex coefficient threshold of development.

Certification of qualifications in Russia is an analog of professional qualification in the world practice. Nowadays, Certification of qualifications is forming for using it in a action in the near future. Because of it, the mainstream objects of this research are different positive hypothetical results from certification on Russian labour market. Results of research were got by theoretical modeling method. It's show that certification of qualifications theoretically can increase productivity of labour forces, firm's goodwill and labour mobility.

To achieve high accuracy of measurement of liquid flow rate using the hot-wire gauges are encouraged to use multi-segment method of spatial characteristics of the transformation. The method is based on the nonlinear three-dimensional elements. Model the spatial characteristics of the transformation is maximally adapted to the peculiarities of the conversion function of the primary transmitter. Model repeats its spatial form with the non-linearity, zero drift, the influence of external factors, including temperature. This provides a low error rate calculation of flow. Study of the effectiveness of the method was based on experimental data obtained during the calibration at different temperatures. Maximum reduced measurement error does not exceed ~ 0.45% at an arbitrary temperature, recorded during measurement.

Keywords: thermoanemometric meter spatial multi segment conversion characteristic, the error rate of fluid flow, the approximation method of least squares

The article is devoted to the problem of improving the efficiency of removal of trees and shrubs (cutting and milling) in a continuous movement of forest machines. Brush cutters with active and passive working elements, as well as specialized machines are used for cutting and milling trees and shrubs. These machines have a disadvantage. It is a low reliability in operation. A general layout scheme of machines for removal of trees and shrubs is offered in the article which allows minimizing this problem. The machine has two working bodies: a basic and an additional. The basic working body is for cutting trees and shrubs. The additional working body is for milling stumps and roots and also for mixing pieces of wood with soil.

In the article is given a review on production and application nonisocyanate polyurethanes based on cyclic carbonate oligomers. Nonisocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) networks are obtained by reaction between the polycyclic carbonate oligomers and aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyamines with primary amino groups. This forms a crosslinked polymer with β-hydroxyurethane groups of different structure – polyhydroxyurethane polymer. Considered as a proper NIPU and hybrid polymers, involving various other oligomeric systems (HNIPU). Significant attention was paid to the materials based on renewable raw materials.The authors give an overview of recent publications in the field with a more detailed description of the Polymate Ltd. achievements.
