Program of integrated development of transport infrastructure of Tyumen
Authors: Petrov Artur , Svistunova Vera
Published: April 2019

The article discusses the feasibility of the development of urban transport and technological systems through the development of Programs for the integrated development of transport infrastructure (PIDTI). PIDTI, being one of the many regulatory documents for urban development, is intended to create some kind of a planned basis for this development. The problem is that during the development and subsequent practical implementation of this strategic document, trends in changes in the lifestyle of citizens, potential ways of their livelihoods, financial and economic support, and just the stylistic features of public and private life are not taken into account. PIDTI developers often assume that in 20 years, the life of the city will be exactly the same as today, only all of its characteristics will increase quantitatively by 20-150% (depending on the strategy option). The works of such serious researchers as S.B. Pereslegin refutes this opinion. The experience of automobilization of Russian cities also speaks about this. Today, PIDTI performs the function of the ITS General Plans of cities of the Soviet period. In this regard, the issue of the ability of PIDTI to solve the problems of the functioning of a city as a living social and technological organism in future periods becomes very serious. The article discusses this issue at the intersection of the opinions of professionals and city residents.

Authors: Plotnikov Vladimir , Makarov Ivan , Shamrina Irina , Shirokova Olga
Published: April 2019

Object of study - the impact of the transport system on economic security. Applied research and calculations are performed on the example of the Lipetsk region (Russia). The study used methods of system analysis, performance evaluation, statistical method, calculation of Engel and Uspensky coefficients, etc. Analysis of data on the provision of transport infrastructure in the regions of Russia and other countries showed that insufficient development of transport is a “weak spot” in Russian regions. To solve it, the following measures were proposed: development of public urban transport, modernization of the integrated transport system of urban agglomerations, introduction of a strategic approach to managing transport development, construction of toll roads and highways, more active use of electronic control systems for urban transport systems. To assess the effectiveness of the development strategy of urban transport systems, the authors suggested using a number of criteria. This is a criterion of fiscal efficiency; environmental performance criterion; criterion of strategic coherence. Their use allows optimizing the development of transport in Russian cities. As a result, the economic security of their development will be reliably ensured.

Published: April 2019

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of different extracts (water, ethanol, enzymatic) from germinated seeds of spring barley on the development of Pseudomonas putida bacteria. The tests on optical density were performed to study the influence of different extracts on the development of model extracts. The analysis of the influence of different extracts from germinated seeds of spring barley on biological agent - Pseudomonas putida PCL1760, contained in biopreparations for crop protection showed that ethanol extract from Raushan variety of spring barley increased the resistance of Pseudomonas putida PCL1760 to the heat and osmotic stresses. All the types of extracts did not contribute to the increase of bacteria resistance to low temperatures. There was no significant difference established between the activity of spring barley extracts with vernalization and without vernalization. The materials of the study showed that ethanol extracts from spring barley can be used for the development of Pseudomonas spp. based on biopreparations for the enhancement of biocontrol microorganisms (BCMs) activity.

Published: April 2019

One of the ways to enhance sow productivity is to use various food supplements to stimulate digestion and uptake of the elements required for the accelerated development of animals. The list of such supplements is expanding every year and, according to experiments conducted, they yield good results. However, their controversial manifestation in the pork production process should be noted. The used supplements clearly affect this process optimality both in terms of the output and financial outlays. This work addresses the influence of protein-vitamin-mineral supplements (PVMS) on sow productivity, metabolism, and pork quality. The mathematical model has been used to substantiate the optimal alternative of the pork production technology for the PVMS under study. Addition of Provimi supplements to the pig diet has been found to enhance litter heaviness, sow milking capacity, the viability of piggery by the time of weaning, and to promote the growth of the young stock. In the bodies of piggery and sows, the use of supplements normalizes cobalt, manganese, and copper metabolism, increases the content of gamma globulins in the piggery serum, and improves pork nutritional and biological value.

The drainage system performance in peat soil with permeability reduction
Authors: Nikitin Andrey , Zaborskaya Olga
Published: April 2019

Construction in waterlogged areas requires special design solutions and expensive site preparation works. Operating experience shows that the efficiency of drainage systems in peat soil decreases over time. This article describes factors to be taken into account when designing drainage systems in peat soil. It also summarizes the results of the laboratory surveys for peat and filling material permeability reduction over time. We used a laboratory box to study water permeability over time. In the experiment, we used poorly decomposed peat of natural structure and compacted peat. The study found that the water inflow into the drainage system decreased 1.5 to 1.7 times in the course of filtration. The greatest peat permeability reduction was recorded at the initial stage. The article demonstrates how the grain-size composition of sand used as backfilling affects its water permeability. In order to ensure normal operation of drainage systems in peat soil, one must consider the reduction of peat water permeability over time and clogging of sand filling when designing the said systems.

Authors: Evstigneev Alexandr , Smirnov Vladimir , Gladkikh Vitaliy
Published: April 2019

Currently, thermoset-based polymer matrix composites are widely used for production of fire protective coatings. Intumescent properties of such coatings are highly dependent on composition. Expandable graphite is a prospective intumescent admixture; unfortunately, admixture of expandable graphite alone can lower the integrity of char residue down to unacceptable levels. The objective of the present work is to present the method that can be used for elimination of the mentioned drawback. The limiting values of expandable graphite in composite with two different admixtures - ammonium polyphosphate and ceramic cenospheres - were determined by means of study the structure of both intumescent epoxy composites and char residues of such composites. It was revealed that admixture of ceramic cenospheres leads to notable improvement of integrity of char residue. This improvement is mostly due to features of heat transfer in material with cenospheres which are characterized by low particle size and, at the same time, low heat conductance.

Published: April 2019

The need of corporate social responsibility development is mostly explained with the fact that the states do not cope with the solution of problems of a social assistance of the population. But as the state undertakes all social burden of the population, the need for corporate social responsibility disappears. So, it is substantiate to adopt the other approach -the importance to proceed from essence of society as certain social system -system of people, their certain communities connected with each other by the public relations, and their interests. Stable, steady existence of this system is possible only at mutual adjustment of all its structural parts -adjustment of mutual interests.

Authors: Voskresenskaya Elena V. , Vorona-Slivinskaya Lybov G. , Snetkov Vitaly , Tebryaev Alexander
Published: April 2019

Within the study, the authors of the present article analyzed the acts of both Russian and foreign legislation in the field of legal regulation of geological survey, exploration and mining in terms of construction. Specific legal regulation regarding mineral resources is standing apart due to growing demand of the world economy in such strategic types of mineral raw materials as rare and rare-earth metals or hydrocarbon reserves that are difficult to recover. The article describes the characteristics of certain provisions of the legislation of foreign countries that regulate relations in geological study, exploration and mining, including those within the construction process. The authors classified the forms of conferring rights for geological survey, exploration and mining of minerals, as well as the types of project documentation in the field of mining for the extraction of minerals during construction. Two models of legal regulation of geological survey and exploration (that are defined as eastern and western models) are studied. The authors revealed that minerals appear as the main object of legal relations or as belonging to a certain land plot (subsoil plot) in mining and urban planning legislation of different countries.
Ecological and economic mechanism for the formation of environmental measures in the gas extraction constructions
Authors: Voskresenskaya Elena V. , Vorona-Slivinskaya Lybov G. , Snetkov Vitaly , Ponomarenko Anatolii
Published: April 2019

The disturbed balance of the “society-nature” system has led to the fact that the production of output usually involves environmental pollution. The reason is that most technological processes are far from perfect and involve formation of intermediate substances or end products that do not participate in further production process and consequently become waste. Therefore, the authors analyze the methodological approaches of integrated environmental and economic assessment of environment protection measures during the construction of gas industry facilities, which is a relevant issue in terms of ecology. The authors claim that the extraction of fuel and energy resources disrupt the biogeocoenosises’ components during the survey, development and exploitation of deposits, leading to the manifestation of dangerous natural management processes and destruction of flora and fauna. Therefore, the environmental-economic mechanism for the formation of environmental measures during the construction of gas facilities should be improved within the framework of the strategy of sustainable economic development of society and ensuring its environmental safety. Analysis of methods for assessing the environmental and economic impact of gas industry enterprises on the environment has shown that enterprises need further instrumental and methodological improvement.

Authors: Knyazeva Natalia , Levina Daria
Published: April 2019

Information systems with ever-growing and increasingly complex functionality are being actively introduced into the operation services. In the process of development, the information technology finds new ways to improve efficiency of economic activities for enterprises. However, the use of automated operation control systems in the absence of representation of the construction object as a single system leads to an increase in labor costs and resource losses. There are inefficiently used operation facilities of the maintenance services that have to be solved, including energy efficiency. Many experts of operation do not have enough skills to interact with information model. There is a need to expand the application of BIM beyond construction and design, to learn to use the information obtained at these stages. Automated data collection of BIM can solve such problems with the help of BIM scenario or BIM-use. Each set of works with information about the stage of the life cycle of the project and part of project in international practice is called BIM scenarios. In general, the use of BIM scenarios and information modeling (IM) shows a composite, yet little-researched activity that can provide the necessary effect in maintenance, operation, document management, checking the energy efficiency of the building.

Authors: Baginova Vera , Lyovin Sergey , Ushakov Dmitry
Published: April 2019

The use of the Northern Sea Route as a transport corridor between the European and Asian continents is currently attracting increased interest in the trade, economic and logistic communities. The possibility to deliver cargo from Europe to Asia and back much faster is extremely attractive for cargo owners in the conditions of instability of the development of modern regional economic trends, turbulence of the global economy as a whole. In the conditions of rapidly changing market demand and supply in the markets of food products in Europe and Asia, the use of the Northern Sea Route as the shortest route between two continents is becoming especially popular for operators in the field of perishable goods logistics. Nevertheless, the possibility of using the Northern Sea Route is significantly limited by the complexity of transporting cargo in the autumn-winter period due to the need for ice pilotage. Assessment of the competitiveness of the Northern Sea Route compared to traditional routes seems to be an important aspect of the formation of consumer preferences among the owners of perishable goods and operators of transportation in reefer containers. The paper proposes a method for assessing the competitiveness of the Northern Sea Route with respect to alternative routes, taking into account the specifics of transportation of perishable goods in reefer containers. Criteria and indicators of competitiveness of the compared routes are presented, covering the full range of economic and technological components that determine the handling and transportation of perishable goods in reefer containers.

Authors: Shestakova Elena
Published: April 2019

In the modern period, the minors’ involvement in illegal activities via Internet technologies is becoming an instrument for political propaganda and agitation of many people, including minors. This is a phenomenon of modern period of social life. The participation of minors in unauthorized protests, as an exclusively urban phenomenon, causes particular attention, since it is accompanied by a large public response and predetermines the development of deviant attitudes of minors. Objectives of the study: an attempt to identify the protest potential of minors in some regions of the Ural Federal District in an urban environment; determining the degree of influence of Internet technologies on the involvement of minors in protest activities. More than half of the respondents are facing political agitation in social networks; only 4-13% of minors feel the impact on formation of public position via the Internet; protest potential of minors can be estimated at 22% in the Tyumen Region, 14% in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, and 8% in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area. The protest activity in regions under study in return for remuneration increases. Ratio of surveyed participants indicating that they have faced with political campaign via internet technologies (50-60%) and ratio of participants who have not faced (4-13%) could signal to the indirect impact.

The urgency of the problem of technological and engineering equipment from the point of view of civil turnover is the misinterpretation and assignment of geotechnical objects to the category of movable (immovable) property, which causes a number of problems in practice, leading to unreasonable taxation or unreasonable exclusion of the categories in question as a taxable object.
Legal activity of an individual in criminal law and environmental policy
Authors: Sumachev Alexey , Kvach Sergey , Dyadkin Dmitriy , Arkhipova Olga
Published: April 2019

Criminal law is traditionally viewed as a branch of public law. Until recently, the category of “dispositivity” in the Russian theory of criminal law had not even been considered. However, it is argued that the development and reflection of dispositivity fundamentals in the criminal law shows the level of protection of law-abiding citizens and also serves as an indicator of activity of legal subjects in the field of criminal justice. The article attempts to define the concept of dispositivity in criminal law and explores its theoretical and applied aspects through conceptual (political and legal) and instrumental approaches. As a part of the conceptual (political and legal) approach, dispositivity is treated as the common grounds of the field of legal regulation. As a part of the instrumental approach, dispositivity is regarded as a method of legal regulation, property legal norms, as well as the mode of legal regulation. From the point of legal methodology, we can speak of dispositivity in the Russian criminal law, since there are no “pure” or distinct fields of private or public law. Simultaneously with the imperative method of legal regulation, there may be the legal grounds for the dispositive legal regulation, and vice versa. The article also analyzes the ratio of the legal activity of an individual (“disposition”) in criminal law and the development of society, using the example of a city. It is stated that the higher the legal activity of a person stipulated by law, the more secure is the position of a person in society.

How could cloud manufacturing platform optimizes manufacturing cloud services based on QoS, matching an optimal service composition for manufacturing tasks has become an urgent problem at present. In view of this problem, we study the matching of manufacturing tasks and manufacturing services from the perspective of complex network theory. On the basis of manufacturing task network and manufacturing service network, a dynamic matching network theory model of manufacturing task-service is constructed. And then, we take a dynamic assessment of QoS. Finally, we use load and dynamic QoS as the optimization objectivities, transform the optimal manufacturing service composition problem into the shortest path problem, and the dynamic scheduling of manufacturing services is realized.
Similarity attraction-based mobile advertising: designing and testing
Authors: Shin M , Lee KW
Published: April 2019

This study explores the possibility of applying the sociopsychological phenomenon known as similarity attraction to the creation of more customized and persuasive mobile advertising without privacy concerns, and for this purpose, we develop two applications, SensPlus and PerAds. While the SensPlus app accumulates the smartphone usage profiles of participants and constructs a regression model to predict their personality, the PerAds app presents user-created content according to the user's personality. The participants' response to a smartphone ad is measured in terms of invitation acceptance of the cherry blossom festival and classical music concert. The χ2 statistics imply participants respond differentially to the various types of smartphone ads according to the similarity between the personalities of the user and ad types. Our results indicate that the socio-psychological phenomenon can be introduced into practical application by replacing the personality trait factors with the smartphone usage pattern.
Auto-tuning for cascade PID height position controller of rotorcraft

Published: April 2019

In this article, we present a method for tuning controller parameters for cascade PID based on the step response performance characteristics of a closed loop system with application to an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV). With specifically designed system identification procedures, a neural network mapping is obtained automatically when the UAV is flying around the target height. With this network system model, a gradual regression and optimization algorithm is proposed to tune the controller. The regression model primly illustrated the relation between PID parameters with controller performance, and the construction for optimization cost function takes the physical significance of step response performance of flying machine into account. Experimental data collected from fight experiment when auto-tuner is implemented on a quadrotorcraft demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

In the field of visual reasoning, image features are widely used as the input of neural networks to get answers. However, image features are too redundant to learn accurate characterizations for regular networks. While in human reasoning, abstract description is usually constructed to avoid irrelevant details. Inspired by this, a higher-level representation named semantic representation is introduced in this paper to make visual reasoning more efficient. The idea of the Gram matrix used in the neural style transfer research is transferred here to build a relation matrix which enables the related information between objects to be better represented. The model using semantic representation as input outperforms the same model using image features as input which verifies that more accurate results can be obtained through the introduction of high-level semantic representation in the field of visual reasoning.

The accelerated growth of cities in developing countries poses a challenge for urban planning such as guaranteeing the safety of all inhabitants from natural and anthropogenic threats. The objective of this study is to determine the urban areas and social sectors of three medium sized Mexican cities that are exposed to high risk activities. The results indicate that for the metropolitan area of San Luis Potosi, 57.6% of high risk activities are within the urban sprawl, while 100% are in the cities of Zacatecas and Fresnillo. In all three case studies, most of the activities studied are in areas with low and medium rates of marginalization. In San Luis Potosi, 4.1% are in areas with high and very high population density but none of the case studies showed a conglomeration of these types of risks in a determined area of the cities. A database of companies with high risk activities, regulated at a federal level, public became public in Mexico in 2014. This information is of great value at a local level to define the strategies of land use planning that guarantee access to environmental justice as well as effective prevention strategies and responses to chemical emergencies.
A survey on joint object detection and pose estimation using monocular vision
Authors: Patil Aniruddha V , Rabha Pankaj
Published: April 2019

In this survey we present a complete landscape of joint object detection and pose estimation methods that use monocular vision. Descriptions of traditional approaches that involve descriptors or models and various estimation methods have been provided. These descriptors or models include chordiograms, shape-aware deformable parts model, bag of boundaries, distance transform templates, natural 3D markers and facet features whereas the estimation methods include iterative clustering estimation, probabilistic networks and iterative genetic matching. Hybrid approaches that use handcrafted feature extraction followed by estimation by deep learning methods have been outlined. We have investigated and compared, wherever possible, pure deep learning based approaches (single stage and multi stage) for this problem. Comprehensive details of the various accuracy measures and metrics have been illustrated. For the purpose of giving a clear overview, the characteristics of relevant datasets are discussed. The trends that prevailed from the infancy of this problem until now have also been highlighted.
