  • Algorithm for modeling the characteristics of crop production under unfavorable conditions

    The paper presents an algorithm for modeling production and economic characteristics for obtaining crop products, with the help of which planning problems are solved using multi-level parametric programming methods under average and unfavorable operating conditions for commodity producers. Since time series of characteristics associated with the production of products can be described by trends to assess adverse events, an algorithm for their identification was used based on the construction of multi-level trends according to the idea of ​​​​the hierarchical structure of the time series. When using this algorithm, a sequence of local minima is formed from the original series, a trend is built, and levels located below this trend, called unfavorable events, are identified. The assessment of the probabilities of these events is determined by the distribution law, which describes a number of differences in actual data and trend values ​​of a sequence of local minima. In the absence of trends and considering series of characteristics in the form of random variables, statistical and physical criteria are applicable to identify unfavorable events. As such, it is proposed to use the average value of local minima. Of the adverse events received, the smallest of them are distinguished, which represent rare events. Based on the identified events and other characteristics, the problem of optimizing the production of agricultural products is formed, the solution of which allows us to obtain optimal production volumes in accordance with maximum incomes corresponding to the calculated probability of events. A comparative analysis of planning results under average conditions and taking into account unfavorable events shows the likely losses of commodity producers at the enterprise and municipal district level.

  • Efficiency of heat separation in various configurations of the leontiev pipe

    The article presents a numerical simulation of energy separation (thermal stratification) in a Leontiev tube, conducted using STAR-CCM+ software. The study focuses on a comparative analysis of two different tube designs, each intended to create temperature differences in gas flows. The simulation revealed that the supersonic flow passing through the tube significantly increases in temperature at the outlet, while the subsonic flow, on the contrary, shows a noticeable decrease in temperature. Detailed profiles of gas velocity and temperature are provided for both designs, demonstrating the effectiveness of each Leontiev tube variant in creating distinct areas of gas with different temperatures without the need for additional external heat exchange. The results obtained are of practical significance for improving the efficiency of gas distribution stations, enabling more effective management of thermal flows and preventing the formation of gas hydrates, as well as for use in other technological processes where temperature separation in flows is required without external heating or cooling.

  • Development of an algorithm for recognizing human emotions using a convolutional neural network using Python tools

    This article deals with the problem of analyzing and recognizing human emotions using sound data processing. In view of the increase in the scope of application, which is largely caused by the difficult epidemiological situation in the world, the solution of the described problem is an urgent issue. The main stages are described: the audio data stream is recorded and, in accordance with the “sound fingerprinting” approach, is converted into an image that is a spectrogram of the sound data set. The stages of training a convolutional neural network on a pre-prepared set of sound data are described, and the structure of the algorithm is also described. To validate the neural network, a different set of audio data was selected, not participating in the training. As a result, graphs were constructed demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed method.

  • Reducing the concentration of fine dust PM2.5 and PM10 in construction by optimizing facilities on the construction site

    In most countries of the world, the construction industry is one of the main sources of air pollution in urban areas and agglomerations. One of the most dangerous pollutants are fine dust particles PM2.5 and PM10, formed from the production of dusty construction processes. Due to the optimal location of administrative facilities on the construction site, it is possible to reduce the concentration of dust emissions of particles PM2.5 and PM10. In addition, the cost of the dust control method is of concern to contractors, as it leads to an increase in the cost of construction. Therefore, reducing overall transportation costs is another optimization goal. To solve several tasks at once, the study uses multi-purpose optimization using the particle swarm method (MRF) algorithm to find an optimized construction site layout that can simultaneously reduce both the level of pollution from dust emissions and transportation costs.

  • Analytical representation and analysis of loose knots in the course of the calculation of the maximum possible fire load

    We have considered the improvement of analytical formulas for the determination of bending moments in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. We have obtained analytical relationships for deflections, angles of rotation, bending moments and shear forces in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. A convenient coefficient from 0 to 1 is used to specify the intermediate stiffness node. The coefficient characterizes the fraction of possible rotation of the support node. When we derived the formulas, we used the assumption of constant bending stiffness of the beam along its length and linear deformation of the beam material under load. We did not consider the cases of loading the beam with concentrated forces and concentrated bending moments in the span. We realize the complexity and necessity of calculating beams with semi-rigid nodes, so we have created a table for easy calculation. In the table you will find the values of the supporting moments depending on the degree of possible angle rotation. With the information about the bearing moments, you can load the hinged beam with them and construct a bending moment diagram. The upper left and lower left values from the table are used to determine the bending moments at the supports. The upper right and lower right values of the table are used to determine the bending moments in the beam span.

  • Managing the construction process with a digital construction organization project

    This paper analyzes the shortcomings of the existing organizational and technological documentation, namely the construction organization project and the project of work production. It is concluded that the main task of organizational-technological documentation is to minimize construction risks at the earliest stage, to increase knowledge about the project and to transfer the process of development and decision-making to an earlier stage of construction. As a solution to these problems, it is proposed to consider the use of building information modeling technologies (BIM) in construction, and move to the development of digital construction organization project (4D model of the construction process), which is a digital information model of the capital construction object (3D model), the elements of which are interconnected with the work on construction production. Two projects where the building information modeling technology was applied and a digital construction organization project was developed are considered: construction of an underground tunnel and reconstruction of a power unit of a combined heat and power plant. The advantages of using a digital construction organization project are proved, which makes it possible to forecast the planned duration of works, as well as the duration of works, taking into account the occurrence of risk events, necessary resources and equipment.

  • Methodology for contact zone shear testing using tensile and compressive loading

    The article deals with the peculiarities of the study objectives and test methodology for characterization of different contact zones organized in different ways and requiring different methodological approach for specimen fabrication and testing. The steel plate-concrete contact zone organized by stamping on the steel plate requires the use of steel molds to prohibit horizontal movement. The contact zone between the steel plate and the concrete, organized by the stamping on the steel plate requires the use of steel molds to prohibit horizontal movement. The contact zone of two wooden bars organized by epoxy glue with reinforcing fabric placed between the layers of glue is tested for shear without organizing the prohibition of horizontal movement. The contact zone formed at the connection of a steel plate and incompletely gained strength concrete, with the association of steel bars has features of fixing the actual strength of the concrete part of the specimen. The considered methods have both a number of common features and differences, which are taken into account in the proposed methods of fabrication and testing.

  • Issues of sufficiency of engineering and geological surveys on the part-time territory for the installation of the foundations of power floors and foundations of the logistics center

    The loads on the power floors and column foundations of modern logistics centers can reach 6-9 t/m2 and 1000 t, respectively. At the same time, the step of the grid of exploration wells in the mined areas does not allow reflecting on the geological sections the exact geometry of the occurrence of weak, untreated soils of backfilling pits. The use of a method for strengthening man-made soils by pressing in prefabricated prismatic piles made it possible to compensate for the missing information from engineering and geological surveys by controlling the forces of indentation and thus determining the occurrence marks of more durable foundation soils.
