The increasing problem of the formation of ash dumps in the Rostov region dictates the need to search for environmentally friendly methods of waste disposal in the heat and power sector. In this article, the ash and slag waste of the Novocherkassk GRES is considered. We analyzed the chemical and fractional compositions of the ash-slag mixture formed at a coal-fired thermal power plant and proposed the use of ash waste with a size of 10-100 microns in road construction as a micro-filler. To study the strength of the road surface using ash microparticles, we manufactured and tested cubes of modified concrete mixture for compression using a press machine. The obtained result showed that the use of ash as a micro-filler in concrete does not affect its strength in any way. The tests of control samples with the use of ash wastes showed an improvement in the water resistance and frost resistance of concrete while maintaining its strength.

Many sources of environmental pollution affect human health. The concentration of harmful substances constantly changes during the day when the weather conditions change in different parts of the territory. Residents can repeatedly enter and leave areas of increased pollution without noticing it with their senses when moving around the city. The authors analyzed the existing solutions for monitoring the quality of atmospheric air, as well as key sources of pollution and their distribution in the air. The interrelation of distribution of pollutants with weather conditions is noted. Preparation of data on the presence of harmful substances on the example of the city of Volgograd has been carried out. A method for organizing monitoring of harmful substances in the atmosphere using a software and hardware complex is proposed. The developed method was applied to create a specialized web application. The implemented solution allows to monitor the state of the environment using sensors and build routes around areas with a high concentration of harmful substances.

The paper presents an evaluation of the efficiency of the use of road trains for transporting fuel chips during operation in real natural and industrial conditions through the variability of the coefficient of adhesion weight (kst). The authors of the paper note that the transport and transposing aspect of the technological process is especially important in the formation of efficient technological chains for the production of biofuels and, in particular, wood chips for energy purposes. The analysis showed that it is rational to use wood chip trucks based on all-wheel drive vehicles (6x6) to ensure movement in all modes when operating in complicated and challenging conditions on road surfacing in an unsatisfactory condition. Vehicles for transporting wood chips for energy purposes, manufactured in Russia and Belarus, are at the level of foreign analogues in terms of the main technical and economic indicators, and in some cases surpass them.

The application of the results of hardness measurements and its modeling in CAD as a 3D model is considered. Different welding modes were applied and electrodes CT-15, OZL-8 and CL-11 were used as consumables. The test material is a hot-rolled pipe with a diameter of 159 mm made of corrosion-resistant steel 12X18N10T with a thickness of 6 mm. The electrodes were fused to half its length and removed from the electrode holder, after cooling the remainder of the electrode, it was reused. For scanning measurement of microhardness of samples with a load of 100 g, the scanning step was applied 0.5 mm. The use of modern software was able to more accurately simulate the test results on a 3D model. The samples are welded with CT-15 electrodes at a maximum current of 100 A. the hardness is over 450-550 HV, regardless of what the passage was. Similarly, when welding with OZL-8 brand electrodes, but only at low currents, the hardness exceeds 450 HV. In both electrodes, the hardness is increased. When using OZL-8 electrodes, samples welded at high currents have less hardness than at low currents. When welding with these electrodes, it is possible to use them in certain passages, for example, when surfacing the root layer of the seam. In the case of full penetration in high-current modes with CT-15 electrodes, the result differs little as in low modes.

The results of clinical trials are the main source of information in the implementation of medical activities in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine. At the moment, there are no information systems that would allow a doctor to select clinical studies within the framework of nosology that best match the profile of a particular patient, in order to further analyze their results and select therapy. The aim of the study was to improve the existing process of searching for clinical trials by using the prioritization method according to the inclusion criteria set by the doctor during the selection. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were implemented, namely, the process of selecting and searching for clinical trials by doctors was studied and the method of searching for clinical trials by doctors and the allocation of the necessary criteria was worked out. The team of authors proposed an algorithm for searching for clinical trials according to inclusion criteria, which in turn will significantly increase the effectiveness and reduce the time for searching and choosing therapy.

The seismic activity of the zones through which the pipelines are laid has always caused serious concern. The analysis of emergency situations on pipeline systems caused by an earthquake revealed factors affecting their stability: longitudinal and transverse displacement of the soil, the effect of soil liquefaction, faults resulting in open cracks and shear deformations. To prevent damage to pipelines during seismic impact, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the impact on the pipeline structure, the required level of safety for this seismic impact. Currently, special attention is paid to structural solutions and materials from which pipelines are made. The conducted studies allow us to form an approach to assessing the operability of polyethylene and steel pipelines in earthquake-prone areas, and on the basis of a comparative analysis of their stability, to make recommendations on the use of pipelines under specified conditions.

An ontology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization of some fragment of domain, which is understandable for both people and intelligent systems. However, it is rather complicated for a domain expert with limited ontology expertise to create complete and consistent ontology, which could answer required competency questions. In this paper we consider the approach with the use of ORM2-diagram as an intermediate model for creating an OWL2-ontology. This approach requires specialized conversion rules allowing to map ORM2-diagram into OWL2-ontology. In this study we revealed that existing conversion rules do not comply with ORM2-semantics. We improved existing conversion rules for Entity Type and Subtyping elements of ORM2 notation. Also we automated the process of mapping ORM2-diagram (consisting of base elements of ORM2 notation - Entity Type, Value Type, Subtyping, Unary Role, Binary Role) into OWL2-ontology as well. As result of this study, we developed a software component, which is part of plugin for ontology editor Protégé. This paper also describes an experiment that confirms the effectiveness of the developed module. It is proven that module allows to exclude mistakes encountered in conversion ORM2-diagram to OWL2-ontology and to reduce conversion time as well.
