Toughening of requirements to buildings’ power efficiency enables development and implementation of modern lightweight concretes on efficient porous aggregates into building industry. The key demands to both lightweight heat-insulating and to fine concretes are ensuring low density index and thus low thermal conduction with high durability provided. There has been developed a lightweight heat-insulating fine concrete mix with the use of three fractions of granulated foam glass. To conduct the research there has been used a central composite design, which helped determine optimal consumption of separate fractions of granulated foam glass, and acquire a lightweight heat-insulating fine concrete with the lowest density. On the basis of obtained research results there has been carried out a calculation of thermal conduction ratio with the use of empirical formulae. The research results have been analyzed, and their descriptive statistics have been presented as diagrams and graphs. On the basis of the analysis of the research results there have been obtained regression equations and established influence degree of separate fractions of granulated foam glass on the density and thermal conduction ratio. There has been carried out an optimization of the material mix and the correlation between fine aggregate fractions calculated to provide the lowest average density.

This study investigates the integration of piezoelectric elements with marine buoys for the purpose of utilising wave energy in autonomous marine devices. The buoy system was subjected to controlled wave conditions during testing, resulting in a peak voltage of 5.6 V and a maximum power of 40 microW. The findings indicate the viability of the system in powering low-power marine equipment. The integration of piezoelectric elements into marine buoy systems offers a cost-effective hybrid solution, making it a promising power source for powering buoys and sensors in remote offshore environments.

The purpose of this work is to study the thermal stress of the furnace of a fire-tube boiler and its effect on the design of the boiler. To study the effect of thermal stress and furnace proportions on the ratio of heating surface areas, the calculated resistance was tested. Calculations of heat-tube boilers of sectional hot-water boilers with different proportions of the furnace at different thermal loads of the same furnace volume are performed. The calculation of each heating surface is carried out by the method of successive approximations, based in this case on the chord method. In the calculation process, the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the heating surface was first set, and then refined by successive approximations. To reduce the overall balance of the boiler, another global approximation is made when the temperature determined at the outlet of the last heating surface is set at the beginning of the calculation – in the heat balance, where it affects the loss with outgoing gases and the efficiency of the boiler. It is determined that the optimal.

The paper considers the choice of the optimal technology for the construction of tongue-and-groove fencing based on the hierarchy analysis method. Decision-making in construction practice requires consideration of many factors, including internal (cost, reliability, speed of work) and external local conditions (risk of interruptions in the supply of materials, the influence of weather conditions, work in cramped conditions). The hierarchy analysis method makes it possible to formalize the decision-making process by structuring the task in the form of a hierarchy and comparing alternatives in pairs. In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of the technologies of hammering, vibration immersion and static indentation of sheet piles was carried out. Priority vectors for each criterion were calculated, and the consistency of the matrices was checked. The final choice of technology is justified based on the integration of internal and external factors. The results obtained allow us to recommend the optimal technology that takes into account the technical and organizational features of the construction process.

The increase in the length of asphalt concrete roads increases the importance of efficient asphalt concrete plants in road construction. Modern environmental requirements and rising fuel prices determine a decrease in the temperatures of cooking and laying ABS. In foreign and domestic practice of road construction, warm asphalt concrete mixtures are increasingly used, including with the use of zeolite. The prerequisites for the study of warm asphalt concrete using zeolite in the Republic of Tatarstan is the presence of one of the largest deposits of zeolite-containing rocks of the Russian Federation - Tatarsko-Shatrashansky. Pilot production implementation of the research results was carried out during the construction of an experimental section on the highway – the entrance to the locality of Klyuchishchi in the Verkhneuslonsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan with an upper layer of warm asphalt concrete coating using zeolite. The results of the material indicators that meet the regulatory requirements have been obtained.

Image super-resolution is a popular task that aims to translate images from low resolution to high resolution. For this task, convolutional networks are often used. Convolutional neural networks, have a great advantage in image processing. But despite this, often information can be lost during processing and increasing the depth and width of the network can make further work difficult. To solve this problem, data transformation into frequency domain is used. In this paper, the image is divided into high frequency and low frequency regions, where higher priority is given to the former.

This article identifies the main advantages and disadvantages of using VR simulators to improve the professionalism of employees when performing work at an enterprise (organization). An analysis of existing projects used in various industries was carried out. A description of the developed first aid project is presented. The developed simulator allows you to practice skills in eliminating bleeding in different parts of the body: arm, leg, neck. While working on the project, the main factors influencing the quality of the developed VR simulator were identified. Thus, it was found that VR simulators are not capable of fully simulating fine motor skills of the hands. In addition, the simulator has restrictions on the position of the body in space. Despite the identified shortcomings, the use of the simulator allows you to practice key skills in providing first aid.
