The effect of organomodified silica particles on the extraction of dissolved diesel fuel from water was studied. The dependence of the efficiency of water purification on the concentration and type of solid particles, as well as the concentration and type of surfactant, is shown. When using a short-chain surfactant to modify the surface of silica particles, the minimum residual concentration of diesel fuel was 2.71 mg/l at a concentration of 4% Aerosil-380 and hexylamine 57 mmol/l. Replacing the short-chain surfactant hexylamine with the long-chain CTAMB led to an 8% improvement in the quality of water purification due to an increase in the surface activity of the organic cation. The use of modified clay particles to purify water from diesel fuel showed lower efficiency compared to Aerosil-380 particles at similar concentrations of the solid phase and surfactant modifier.

The paper presents a solution to the problem of accelerating the process of visualizing the results of numerical simulation. The volumes of such data can be very large and the development of tools to speed up the process of analyzing modeling results is an urgent task. This article proposes a solution to the problem based on the development of a set of programs that automate the process of processing large-volume scientific data of the same type to create high-quality visualizations of the results of numerical modeling. The results are presented using the example of solving problems in astrophysics, but the proposed methodology can be quite easily applied to other subject areas in which models based on the dynamics of particle systems are used. The research described in the work is devoted to solving issues related to converting data obtained from numerical modeling into a format that can be read by the ParaView softwart, which implements many methods that allow obtaining very high-quality visualization. The work also describes the process of automating batch processing of a large amount of data that has the same structure, presents the results of an analysis of the acceleration of the visualization process when using the NVIDIA IndeX plug-in, and considers the possibility of improving the quality of visualization results when applying Delaunay triangulation to the original data.

The article discusses proposals for improving the use of discharge-pulse technology in the construction of boron-injection piles and camouflage widenings of bored piles with diameters of more than 300 mm. The application of voltages on the electrode system of a pulse current generator from 10 to 50 kV and an electric capacity of about 300 UF is considered. It has been found that in the case of using a relatively low voltage on the electrodes and an increase in the electrical capacity of the capacitor bank, the duration of the shock wave pressure on the ground increases several times. This contributes to a more intensive penetration of the liquid hardening material into the intergranular space of the near-well soil massif. It is proposed to use solutions using slag-alkali binders as a hardening material in the formation of boron-injection piles. Such solutions have greater fluidity compared to cement solutions and, when hardened, form a stone with greater strength and density. The article presents data from experimental studies confirming the increased strength (R = 130 MPa) and frost resistance of a solution prepared on slag-alkali binders, as well as data on determining their corrosion resistance to various aggressive media contained in groundwater. The possibility of stable breakdown of the interelectrode gap in aqueous solutions of slag-alkali media of various consistencies has been established, optimal energy parameters of the discharge have been determined for maximum effect of fixing the soils of the foundations.

The production of nitrogen from air using membrane gas separation processes is widely used in many industries. The problem of controlling the gas separation process is associated with multi-loop control using control of several variables. To build a model of a gas separator, a detailed analysis of the gas separation process was carried out in this work. This article proposes a fuzzy logic controller used to match pressure fluctuations and air flow of a gas separator. The performance of the proposed controller was evaluated in comparison with traditional controllers. The proposed fuzzy logic controller makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the gas separation control system and reduce the duration of transient processes.

The article is devoted to applied issues of improving regional security management processes through the development of methods for analyzing data on emergency situations. In order to identify patterns in the occurrence of emergency situations, multidimensional methods of processing statistical data were used. A multidimensional classification of data in the field of emergency situations based on fuzzy logic is proposed. The classification was performed using a fuzzy inference system with clear membership functions. As statistical data, data on emergency situations of a man-made, natural and biological-social nature that occurred in the federal districts of Russia in 2020, including data on dead and saved people, were considered. An analysis of data samples on regional emergency situations was carried out according to 5 criteria, and clustering of regions was carried out.

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 article examines the situation that emerged as a result of the higher education reform of 2006-2012. in Russia there is a modern organizational and territorial structure of university campuses, which has different types of spatial and territorial location: urban local campus, urban dispersed campus, suburban local campus, mixed. Thus, almost all federal universities are located on several campuses within the territory of the city where they are located, and several of them have campuses in several cities. Some existing classifications of university campuses according to various criteria are considered and their insufficiency for a complete scientific description of modern campuses is revealed. The existing classification by spatial location relative to the city territory is supplemented by such types as regionally dispersed campus and locally dispersed campus. The supplemented classification reflects the current situation in the Russian Federation and allows for a scientific description of modern university campuses in Russia, taking into account their organizational and territorial specifics.

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.
