In this article, an algorithm for processing hydroacoustic signals in the frequency domain using wavelets is considered. Arguments are given in favor of the similarity of the structure of hydroacoustic signals with the structure of vibration signals. The structure of hydroacoustic signals is described, while the relevance of wavelet analysis over analysis using Fourier transforms is emphasized. The algorithm can be applied to estimate the spectral density using the Fourier periodogram and estimate the energy in different frequency ranges. The method of hard threshold smoothing coefficients is presented and the advantages of this approach over a soft threshold are presented. A step-by-step algorithm for filtering the hydroacoustic signal is described. One of the applications of the algorithm is to estimate the parameters of the vibration signal using a parallel implementation of the algorithm.

the effect of a thickener and a setting retarder on the technological properties of GSHS START is investigated. One-factor plans of a two-factor model have been developed, with a minimum (0.1%; 0.005%) and maximum (0.2%; 0.05%) dosage levels of pore-forming and water-retaining additives, respectively. Regression equations of output parameters in the form of a second-degree polynomial are obtained using regression and correlation analysis of experimental data. The values of partial correlation coefficients are analyzed. With an increase in the dose of water-retaining and pore-forming additives from 0.1% to 0.2% and from 0.005% to 0.05% of the binder, respectively, for all possible combinations of the dosage of the thickener and setting retarder, there is an increase in setting time by 10 ... 72%, and sliding by 33 ... 80%. The least sensitive to an increase in water-retaining and pore-forming additives was a mixture in which the amount of thickener is 0.2% (at the upper level), and the amount of moderator is 0.04% (at the lower level).

Currently, tracing the movements of various objects (in particular a person) occupies a central place in video surveillance and video analytics systems. It is a system for tracking people's movements by localizing their positions on each frame within the entire video stream and is the basis of many intellectual computer vision systems. The purpose of this article is to develop a new algorithm for tracing human movements in a video stream with the possibility of selecting motion trajectories. The main stages of the algorithm include: dividing the video into frames with a difference of one second, selecting the person under study in the video stream, implementing a digital processing process based on recognizing the clothes of the person under study and obtaining its color histogram, predicting localization and recognizing the person under study on all subsequent frames of the video stream using the developed methods of forecasting the direction of movement of this object. The output data of the proposed algorithm is used in the procedure of forming and displaying a general picture of the movement of a particular person within the entire video stream. The information and materials contained in this article may be of interest to specialists and experts who, in their work, pay special attention to data processing when analyzing fragments of the video stream.

A new approach to increasing the efficiency of extreme control systems by improving the method of searching for the extremum of the objective function is presented. In its multidimensional nonlinear optimization, instead of a traditional linear search along a once selected direction, an exploratory search is used, the direction of which at each step is adapted to the topology of the objective function. This makes it possible to localize an extremum as quickly as possible and significantly reduce the time of its determination. An algorithm for interpolation search for an extremum in the found interval is proposed. The objective function is modeled by a cubic spline segment based on information about its gradient vector at the boundary points of the interval, as a result of which the number of interpolation search steps is significantly reduced. The possibility of simplified nonsmooth interpolation using first-order splines in the extremum region is considered. The results of a numerical experiment confirm the high efficiency of the new method in solving various problems.

The problem of reducing communication interaction in the chain between a natural language message and a BPMN model is considered. For this purpose, a number of authors have proposed a special notation called a mechanism. The procedure for constructing a mechanism using a given BPMN model is considered. The possibility of building a mechanism only for BPMN models that satisfy certain conditions is shown: the model must contain at least one artifact associated with one of the gateway actions; gateways should not contain more than two choices; the model should not end with a gateway; the model should not contain an AND-OR gateway. The procedure for constructing a BPMN model using a given mechanism is considered. The possibility of such a transformation is shown if the following conditions are met: the presence of a one-to-one correspondence of the elements and functions of the mechanism, the use of a single tool and a single strip in the mechanism. For models that do not satisfy these conditions, the use of the mechanism is problematic: it turns out to be either too cumbersome or too simple, which does not facilitate the simplification of communicative interaction. It is concluded that additional research is necessary in order to either improve the mechanism or use a different notation that does not have the disadvantages of the mechanism.

The paper presents a new approach to assessing the level of contamination with heavy metals of the soil-like fraction from landfills using Monte Carlo simulation using the example of landfills located within the borders of Volgograd.It was found that with a probability of 36.2%, the contamination level of a soil-like fraction from the landfill located in the Voroshilovsky district will correspond to moderately hazardous, and with a probability of 63.8%, hazardous. It is economically justified to isolate a soil-like fraction with a low level of pollution to detoxify it and further use it in the territory reclamation. For a soil-like fraction from landfill located in the Traktorozavodsky district, the pollution level was determined as extremely hazardous and hazardous with a probability of 87.1% and 3.1%, respectively. It is shown that a useful and usable part cannot be isolated from a soil-like fraction. A soil-like fraction must be neutralized and placed at waste disposal facilities.The presented approach is a useful instrument for pollution level assessment of a soil-like fraction, which can increase the accuracy of an estimate and the management effectiveness of a soil-like fraction during landfill development.

The article discusses a method for detecting defects in extended products. To find defects, scanning the product along its entire length is used. The result is a two-dimensional data stream that needs to be analyzed. The problem of detecting a defect is one of the tasks of detecting a “useful” signal against a background of “noise”. The most reliable method is to use a set of statistical criteria. To compare the mean values, the Student's test and two Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney tests were used; to compare the scattering values, the Fisher test and the Ansari–Bradley test were used. The effectiveness of the algorithm was confirmed using a computer model simulating a two-dimensional homogeneous data stream.

The purpose of this study is to present the forestry complex development scenarios of the Republic of Karelia and the Murmansk region. Based on the use of factor analysis and cluster analysis, 27 central foresters of the study region were divided into 9 clusters according to 20 indicators. The selected indicators took into account the characteristics of wood resources, natural-production conditions and road infrastructure. Based on cluster profiles, as well as on topographical, climatic, soil map and vegetation maps, scenarios for the development of the study region forestry complex in the context of the resulting clusters. The results of the study showed that as they move from south to north, a gradual impoverishment of wood resources occurs. The efforts of the state and business should be aimed at resolving issues of road infrastructure, involving deciduous, small, energy wood in production circulation. Given the natural and production conditions, which are largely determined by the moist forest soils and the extreme vulnerability of the northern ecosystems, in the process of logging, it is especially necessary to pay attention to the minimization of the negative impact of logging operations on the soil cover.

Roads have a huge impact on the life of a modern person. One of the key characteristics of the roadway is its quality. There are many systems for assessing the quality of the road surface. Such technologies work better with high-resolution images (HRI), because it is easier to identify any features on them. There are a sufficient number of ways to improve the resolution of photos, including neural networks. However, each neural network has certain characteristics. For example, for some neural networks, it is quite problematic to work with photos of a large initial size. To understand how effective a particular neural network is, a comparative analysis is needed. In this study, the average time to obtain the HRI is taken as the main indicator of effectiveness. EDSR, ESPCN, ESRGAN, FSRCNN and LapSRN were selected as neural networks, each of which increases the width and height of the image by 4 times (the number of pixels increases by 16 times). The source material is 5 photos of 5 different sizes (141x141, 200x200, 245x245, 283x283, 316x316) in png, jpg and bmp formats. ESPCN demonstrates the best performance indicators according to the proposed methodology, the FSRCNN neural network also has good results. Therefore, they are more preferable for solving the problem of improving image resolution.

Road surface quality assessment is one of the most popular tasks worldwide. To solve it, there are many systems, mainly interacting with images of the roadway. They work on the basis of both traditional methods (without using machine learning) and machine learning algorithms. To increase the effectiveness of such systems, there are a sufficient number of ways, including improving image quality. However, each of the approaches has certain characteristics. For example, some of them produce an improved version of the original photo faster. The analyzed methods for improving image quality are: noise reduction, histogram equalization, sharpening and smoothing. The main indicator of effectiveness in this study is the average time to obtain an improved image. The source material is 10 different photos of the road surface in 5 sizes (447x447, 632x632, 775x775, 894x894, 1000x1000) in png, jpg, bmp formats. The best performance indicator according to the methodology proposed in the study was demonstrated by the "Histogram equalization" approach, the "Sharpening" method has a comparable result.

This paper considers the conditions and factors affecting the security of information systems functioning under network reconnaissance conditions. The developed model is based on the techniques that realize the dynamic change of domain names, network addresses and ports to the network devices of the information system and false network information objects functioning as part of them. The formalization of the research problem was carried out. The theoretical basis of the developed model is the theories of probability and random processes. The modeled target system is represented as a semi-Markov process identified by an oriented graph. The results of calculation of probabilistic-temporal characteristics of the target system depending on the actions of network reconnaissance are presented, which allow to determine the mode of adjustment of the developed protection measures and to evaluate the security of the target system under different conditions of its functioning.

Social and pension provision are key processes in the activities of any state, and the issues of forecasting expenses for them are among the most important in the economy. The task of evaluating the effectiveness of the pension fund has been solved by various methods, including regression analysis methods. This task is particularly difficult due to the presence of a large number of factors determining the activity of the pension fund, such as: the number of recipients of old-age pensions, the number of policyholders, self-employed policyholders, recipients of benefits, insured persons and working pensioners. As the main approach to the study, the method of implementing a model competition was applied. Those variants that violated the meaningful meaning of the variables and did not fully reflect the behavior of the modeled process were excluded from the resulting set of alternative model options. The final option was selected using the multi-criteria selection method. It is revealed that the use of relative variables is important for qualitative modeling of the studied processes. The above model shows that an increase in the ratio of the number of employers and the self-employed to the number of insured persons leads to a decrease in the cost of financing social and pension provision.The model can be effectively used for short-term forecasting of the total annual volume of financing of the pension fund department in the context of changing social and macroeconomic factors.

Currently, digitalization as a technological tool penetrates into the humanitarian sphere of knowledge, linking technocratic and humanitarian industries. An example is legal informatics, in which conceptual devices of quite different – at first glance – areas of human knowledge are interfaced. However, the desire to abstract (formalize) any knowledge is the most important task in the "convergence" of computer technologies and mathematical methods into a non-traditional humanitarian sphere for them. The paper discusses the problems generated by the superficial idea of artificial intelligence. A typical example is the attempt of some authors in jurisprudence to give computer technologies, often referred to as artificial intelligence by humanitarians, an almost sacred meaning and endow it with legal personality.

Frequency multiplexing (OFDM) methods have become the main basis for most outbred systems. These methods have also found application in modern systems of low-orbit satellite Internet (LOSIS). For example, the StarLink system uses OFDM transmission systems that use a signal frame consisting of 52 channels to transmit data. One way to increase the data rate in OFDM is to replace the Fourier transform (FT) with a faster orthogonal transform. As such, the modified wavelet transform (MWT) of Haar was chosen. The Haar MVP allows to reduce the number of arithmetic operations during the orthogonal signal transformation in comparison with the PF. The use of integer algebraic systems, such as Galois fields and modular residue class codes (MCCR), makes it possible to increase the speed of a computing device that performs orthogonal transformations of signals. Obviously, the transition to new algebraic systems should lead to changes in the structure of OFDM systems. Therefore, the development of structural models of an OFDM transmission system using the Haar MWP in the Galois field and the ICCM is an urgent task. Therefore, the aim of the work is to develop structural models of wireless OFDM systems using a modified integer discrete Haar transform, which can reduce the execution time of the orthogonal signal transformation. And this, in turn, will lead to an increase in the data transfer rate in the SNSI.
