To analyze such significant indicator of the locomotive industry as the value of import customs payments, the dependence of the volume of import customs payments on weight, cost, weighted average rate and dollar exchange rate is examined. Mathematical modeling was carried out on the basis of monthly data during the period from 2019 up to 2021 of the volumes of customs payments and their parameters of the Group 86 of the Customs nomenclature of EAEU FEA "Railway locomotives or tram motor cars, rolling stock and their parts; track equipment and devices for railways or tram tracks and their parts; mechanical (including electromechanical) signaling equipment of all types". The interrelations of these variables are represented by a system of simultaneous structural equations. The import substitution trend developing in Russia implies strengthening the development of national industries and, accordingly, pursuing a customs policy that implies support for domestic producers and reduction of import supplies. Thus, it is relevant to determine the impact of various factors on the amount of customs duties levied by the customs authorities on foreign economic activity (FEA) participants in operations involving the import of spare parts and other goods for the locomotive building industry to make the right strategic decisions concerning customs restrictions on imports of goods of this industry.

The wastewater generated by the pulp and paper industry contains diverse contaminants such as organic substances, fine suspended powders, and dissolved solids. Currently, integrated treatment technologies are employed, utilizing thin-layer settling tank modules to eliminate solid contaminants. This study presents the outcomes of a comparative analysis of the efficacy of a conventional thin-layer module with flat plates and a modified thin-layer module consisting of two levels of plates, positioned in opposing directions, facilitating the rotation of water flow within the module. Through computer simulation techniques, it is demonstrated that the modified module design can enhance the cleaning efficiency by 8-30% for wastewater flow velocities ranging from 0.0025 to 0.0125 m/s.

GRP horizontal tanks are used for wastewater treatment. This material can be used for 50 years or more, which exceeds the lifetime of reinforced concrete sewage treatment plants. However, when designing the products, it is necessary to determine whether the tank should be manufactured using the continuous winding method or the spiral-crossflow method. The main problem in selecting the manufacturing method is to determine the stability of the structure against vertical loads from the soil mass. The continuous winding method provides high circular stiffness, hence resistance to various influences, while the spiral cross winding method deteriorates circular stiffness and reduces the cost of the product. The article examines constructed GRP structures made using different methods and located at different depths. The tests are carried out to study the strength characteristics of the material on the basis of the Plant of composite materials, the ring stiffness and the modulus of elasticity are determined according to GOST R 54925-2012, to confirm the data obtained, a comprehensive calculation is performed in the Midas GTS NX software using a work model (structure + soil). The Mohr-Coulomb model was selected as a model to describe the soil, the material characteristics were set according to the data obtained from the tests. The results of surveys and calculations proved the inability to use GRP containers manufactured by the spiral cross-winding method because of low circular stiffness resulting in loss of load-bearing capacity of the structure and further ingress of soil inside the container.

This paper is dedicated to the problem of developing parallelizing compiler for computational systems with distributed memory and approaches of solving that problem. Correseponding parallelizing program transformations are described that are developed using Optimizing parallelizing system. Described transformations automatically detect optimal data placement in distributed memory to minimize inter-node data transfers, detect points inside source program to insert directives for those transfers. Inter-node data transfer optimization is performed using special graph model connecting operators and variables inside source program. Optimizing parallelizing system includes program transformations to generate Message Passing Interface (MPI) code using affine data distribution for arrays with parameters specified using compiler pragmas.

This paper presents methods of processing handwritten biometric data. The initial data are coordinates of a position of a pen on a graphics tablet. For this, the proprietary database of handwriting samples and the open signature database SVC 2004 were used. The proprietary database includes 29 users, 754 random and 754 simple forgeries. At the stage of biometric data processing, the following methods were used – «interpolation of handwriting» (entering points at an equal distance between the initial points of the handwritten signature), the histogram approach, «pen movement speed» (the path traveled by the pen at different stages of handwriting input process). Such methods eliminate the variability of the biometric data over time and over spatial axes. As a result, we recommended a standardization approach (Z-score), discretization (one-dimensional linear interpolation and discretization with variable step based on arithmetic progression) of biometric data. The table of results presents the values of the quality of biometric features. The obtained experimental results will be useful for researchers to improve their studies in the field of biometric security systems

Modern research of objects of technology is largely carried out using various software systems. One of such software packages is SolidWorks. It is widely used in industrial enterprises and in research organizations. This complex has extensive libraries of properties of various structural materials. However, they do not represent the properties of all possible combinations of materials with the appropriate hardness. When building a model of a real object, it is necessary to accurately set the properties of materials. This will make it possible to carry out various design calculations with greater accuracy. Previous studies have established that the working part of the turbocharger rotor shaft (made of 40X steel) consists of two layers - surface (hardened) with a hardness of HV 530-570 and internal (not hardened). The values of the physical and mechanical properties of 40X steel with a hardness of HV 530-570 necessary for constructing a rotor shaft model are not available both in the SolidWorks material properties library and in the reference literature. To determine the necessary values of the properties of this material, a series of experiments using a bursting machine was carried out. The experiment was carried out with specially manufactured samples subjected to heat treatment to a hardness of HV 530-570. The data obtained as a result of the experiment were used to construct a model of the turbocharger rotor shaft when assigning the properties of the surface (hardened) layer. This approach makes it possible to obtain results corresponding to real details when carrying out engineering calculations of the constructed models.

This paper proposes an accurate and dynamic method for diagnosing of crop diseases. This method adopts Bayesian networks to represent the relationships among the symptoms and crop diseases. This method has one main difference from the existing diagnosis methods - it does not use all the symptoms in the diagnosis, but purposively selects a subset of symptoms which are the most relevant to diagnosis; the active symptom selection is based on the concept of a Markov blanket in a Bayesian network. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can significantly enhance the performance of crop disease diagnosis.

Dynamic Bayesian networks are a universal tool for modeling stochastic processes that take place over time. In the process of describing transient probabilities of dynamic Bayesian networks, Markov circuits with discrete time are used. However, there are situations where the residence time in the states of a dynamic Bayesian network can be described by an arbitrary law of distribution, due to the features of modeling the subject area. To describe transients in such networks, half-Mark processes are used. The paper describes the mathematical apparatus of the application of the theory of semi-Markov processes for constructing the probabilities of models and solving the problems of probabilistic inference of dynamic Bayesian networks. What is described is a procedure for distributing evidence in the process of transitioning between the time states of the dynamic model under consideration based on the algorithm of selection by significance.
