The problem of computing symmetric Hadamard matrices of the Balonin-Siberry construction is considered. To obtain such matrices, a large number of random binary sequences are required to select three of them, which are bound by the requirements of the matrix design. Such sequences are the first rows of three cyclic blocks of Hadamard matrices. The background of the emergence of quantum computing and the advantage of quantum generation of binary sequences for subsequent selection are considered. The calculation of Hadamard matrices is proposed as a test problem for quantum computers, which allows to show quantum superiority.

This article presents the results of a study of the process of decompaction of clay soils when they are used in soil structures. To study this issue, the following factors were chosen: the dimensions of the test samples, the amount of load on the samples, swelling when soils are moistened and shrinkage when they are dried, and the loss of strength of the samples during their decompaction was also estimated. All studies with soils were carried out in laboratory conditions. In the course of the research, dependences of relative decompaction on vertical load and changes in shear forces depending on the degree of moisture during decompaction of soils were obtained. The main conclusions of the work are given.

The relevance of forensic construction and technical expertise in the Russian Federation increases with the increase in the level of urbanization and at the same time the community of forensic construction experts with deep knowledge in the construction field obtained as a result of professional education is growing rapidly. The article raises the issues of lagging the level of preparedness of construction experts in procedural matters, in the skills of mastering the art of polemics, in the ability to flawlessly design the results of the examination in the form of an expert opinion. The authors of the article, based on the study of the practice of conducting judicial construction and technical examinations, analyzed the organizational and legal problems arising from the expert in connection with the violation of the principle of unity of form and content during the examination, underestimating the importance of putting evidence in a strict procedural form.

The paper considers an example of solving a plane problem of the theory of plasticity as applied to concrete, which occurs when an absolutely rigid stamp acts on a concrete base. In this case, the solution was sought in the form of isolines of characteristics, the position of which made it possible to determine the stress state of the foundation. In this case, three areas were distinguished, differing in the stressed state. In the work, it was possible to analyze the effect of friction on the surface of the stamp on the boundaries of these regions and the isolines of stresses in them. Three conditions were considered: friction is absent, friction is constant, friction is proportional to the greater principal stress. The influence of various boundary conditions on the surface of the stamp on the stress state of the concrete base is revealed.

When conducting quality control, it is necessary to consider the quality of both each individual element of the facade and the quality of the hinged facade as a system. When structuring the review of tools for instrumental quality control of curtain facade systems, their application should be considered according to controlled parameters, which can be divided into two groups. The quality control group of facade system elements combines methods and tools used in quality control of building materials and does not require the contractor to know about the principles of the hinged facade system. The quality control group of the device (assembly) of the hinged facade consists of operations to determine the quality of the operability of the hinged facade system. This group is entirely based on the idea of the work of the hinged facade as a single system. Based on the results of systematization and generalization of data, it was concluded that the current regulatory documentation regulates the use of instrumental control tools, leaving aside the issues of organization that come to the fore when quality control of the hinged facade of a construction object as a whole, when there is a task of choosing and using several tools of instrumental control at the same time. It is these questions that should be the subject of further research.
Keywords: systems of hinged facades, quality control organizations, a systematic approach in the organization, instrumental control, elements of the facade system, the device of the hinged facade, methods and means of control
The article describes the algorithmic realisation of a software module for evidence of learner’s identification in the testing process. The advantage of this module is simple operation, ease of implementation and execution as well as convenience of application by various categories of users. The need for such a module was engendered by the problem of examinee identification during testing in the e-learning system. The technology of program module operation is based on forming questions with the use of information stored in the learner’s personal account; the operation result is demonstrated through confirmation or non-confirmation of the examinee’s identity in real time.

The article discusses commodity futures price forecasting using a temporal convolutional network. Commodity futures forecasting is an important task for investors and traders because it allows you to predict future prices and the direction of the market. Commodity futures forecasting can be done using a variety of methods and approaches. One such approach is the use of deep learning models, which consists in predicting futures quotes using artificial neural networks. There are many types of neural networks, among them the most popular for the task of processing time series are recurrent neural networks. However, recurrent neural networks have certain disadvantages that a temporal convolutional network does not have. The temporal convolutional network architecture has unique features such as parallel processing of data, extraction of short- and long-term dependencies, and extraction of important features on different time scales. An experiment was conducted to assess the accuracy of predicting the closing price of seven commodity futures using a temporary convolutional network and an ARIMA statistical model with automatic selection of parameters. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that the temporary convolutional network is superior to the statistical ARIMA model and is a very effective model for forecasting commodity futures. However, despite the high potential of the proposed forecasting model, it is also important to take into account various other analytical methods, such as fundamental analysis and expert opinion.
