The article is devoted to the development of automated information systems (AIS) for electronic document management in the educational field. Using the example of the process of accreditation monitoring of basic professional educational programs implemented in university departments, functional requirements, user algorithms and a prototype AIS (web system) for generating documents have been developed. The use of the considered AIS allows you to flexibly customize the structure of documents and data completion forms for accreditation monitoring, add and edit the required data about teachers in visual web interfaces, automatically generate documents based on information stored in the database, manage the life cycles of documents, evaluate the quality of the documents compiled. The labor intensity of working with documents is significantly simplified compared to existing business processes. The proposed approach can be applied to the development of document flow subsystems for various business processes of a university within the framework of educational, methodological, scientific and other types of activities of employees and, as a result, towards the creation of a unified AIS for electronic document management of the university, based on the integration of all subsystems. The described functionality and algorithms can be adapted to the creation of web systems for electronic document management of computer training complexes (CTC) for collecting and processing data on the progress of students, managing the life cycle of developing exercises for the CTC and performing them by trainees.

The study is devoted to the development of models, algorithms and software for computer training complexes (CTC) for training developers of automated information systems (AIS). The process of automated control of students' knowledge and skills using CTC in studying the mathematical support of AIS (using fuzzy modeling as an example) is formalized based on IDEF0 diagrams, and the process of assessing exercise performance as one of the control components. The advantage of CTC is that the teacher does not need to develop individual exercise options, since CTC configures the structure and complexity of the exercise and then automatically generates a unique version of the exercise for each student undergoing knowledge testing on the topic being studied. The student's performance is checked automatically by comparing the mathematical models of the student's solution to the task and the reference solution generated in CTC based on the problem statement. Algorithms for assessing task performance in fuzzy modeling exercises have been developed. A prototype of CTC has been created in the form of a web system with personal accounts for the teacher and the student. The developed concept and algorithms for monitoring knowledge and skills in fuzzy modeling using the CTC can be adapted for various disciplines in the field of mathematical, software, information and other types of support for AIS.

The drilling and blasting method is currently the most widely used for mining rocks. An indicator of the high–quality drilling and blasting operations is the uniform granulometric composition of the exploded rock mass - the percentage of oversized ore pieces should be minimal. The percentage of oversized and its increase have a significant impact on the technical processes of transporting rock mass, leading to an increase in the costs of loading and transportation operations and secondary crushing of oversized ore masses. The paper describes the results of a study of methods for determining the granulometric composition of drilling and blasting operations using neural networks of segmentation Unet and FPN. Images taken from UAVs are used for analysis. A method of classifying ore by size has also been developed, which ensures the accuracy of the proportion of correct answers of more than 0.91. The expected result of the introduction of the system for automatic determination of the granulometric composition of drilling and blasting operations is the possibility of more accurate control over the quality of their performance.

The concept of a two-dimensional associative masking mechanism, introduced earlier and necessary for further consideration, is used to protect the data of cartographic scenes represented by point, linear and areal objects. The masking mechanism is the basis of associative steganography. In this case, the objects and coordinates of the scene are represented by code words in the alphabet of postal symbols and are masked with the further formation of stegocontainers. A set of masks is a secret key used further to recognize a scene represented in a protected form by a set of stegocontainers. The article deals with the organization of specialized DBMS for the protection of cartographic scene data with the introduction of two levels of such DBMS – server and client. Mono- and multicluster organization of request processing is offered for the server part of the DBMS. Practical recommendations on the use of mono- and multiclusters are given.

The impact of the alkali NaOH on the structure and morphology of cellulose has been considered. Using X-ray spectroscopic microanalysis and electron microscopy, it has been determined that treatment of wood cellulose with aqueous solutions of NaOH allows to reduce the content of lignin in cellulose and significantly improve the topography of the fibers. A comparative analysis of alkali cellulose samples was conducted, obtained during treatment with NaOH solutions of 13.7% and 12.3% concentration for a process duration of 5.5 hours, at a temperature of 124 °C. It has been established that at the considered concentrations of NaOH, approximately ~75% and ~50% of lignin is removed from the original cellulose, respectively. The results of infrared spectroscopy indicate an increase in the amorphization of alkali cellulose. Alkali cellulose, formed at a NaOH concentration of 13.7%, exhibits superior morphological uniformity and a lower lignin content.
