Enhancing accuracy of information processing in onboard subsystems of UAVs
Authors: Zhukov Igor , Dolintse Bogdan
Published: November 2023

The object of research is the onboard subsystems of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The research is aimed at analyzing UAVs, specifically the integration and enhancement of satellite-based positioning systems, including Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS).
The problem concerns traditional satellite-based positioning services, especially those relying solely on medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, which are insufficient for specific requirements. The study aims to address the limitations of these systems on onboard subsystems of UAVs, especially in challenging environments laden with jammers and interference, and to provide a more accurate, robust, and continuous positioning solution.
The research proposes a «multilayer system of systems» approach that integrates signals from various sources, including low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, ground-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, and user-centric sensors. The combined approach, termed LeGNSS/INS, leverages the strengths of each component, providing redundancy and enhanced accuracy. The system's performance was evaluated using pseudo-real output data, demonstrating its ability to generate quasi-real dynamic trajectories for UAV flight. The error analysis showed that the proposed method consistently outperforms traditional GNSS systems, especially in challenging environments.
The enhanced performance of the LeGNSS/INS system can be attributed to integrating multiple satellite systems with INS and applying optimal filtering techniques. The research also employed mathematical modeling to represent the dependencies and interactions when combining data from different sources, such as GPS, LEO, and INS. The Kalman filter is a mechanism to fuse data from multiple sources optimally.
The insights from this study apply to various sectors, including aviation, maritime navigation, autonomous drones, and defense. The enhanced positioning accuracy can significantly improve safety, navigation precision, and operational efficiency. However, the study assumes idealized conditions for satellite signal reception, which might not always be accurate in real-world scenarios. Challenges, such as the martial law conditions in Ukraine affecting data collection and potential satellite signal restrictions, were also highlighted. Further research can delve into the impact of more complex environmental factors and the integration of additional satellite systems or sensors to enhance accuracy further.

The iron deposits of Ouenza and Boukhadra represent one of the main sources of iron ore supply for the Algerian steel industry. Being a fundamental wealth available to Algeria, the exploitation of iron ores and its use causes strong negative consequences on the environment, mainly by the expansion of dust, which will be a source of environmental degradation. The metallurgical industry is an integral part of the Algerian economy. Environmental problems that negatively affect the health of people and the environment is air pollution. These issues are relevant to the site and the town of Annaba, where the metallurgical industry is developed. Environmental awareness is characterized by strong environmental sensitization; especially in urban areas with metallurgical pollution sources. The object of this study is taking samples from sites that generate more dust within the steel complex plant. This study aims to characterize steelmaking dust from different sites of the plant in order to identify the mineral phases and their chemical compositions. The various analytical methods used include physico-chemical analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), crystal phases, crystal size, lattice parameters, microdeformations, laser granulometry analysis, X-ray diffraction, microscopy Electronic Scanning and Analysis (EDS) Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy. It was found that the average monthly quantity of dust released by the dust collectors of the Agglomerated Material Preparation (AMP) unit is 108.45 tons. The results obtained from the dust samples analysis of dust samples from the different points of the site differ in their mineral and chemical composition. The research confirmed the presence of iron oxides, silicon, many different mineral phases. The results of dimensional analysis prove that the two samples are different in their sizes ESP1et and ESP2 is coarser than ESP3 and FF3A, these results can lead to long-term occupational illnesses.

The scientific task, which is solved in the research, is the analysis of knowledge representation methods in intelligent decision-making support systems. The problem is explained by the fact that the form of knowledge representation significantly affects the characteristics and properties of the system. In order to operate all kinds of knowledge from the real world with the help of a computer, it is necessary to carry out their simulation. In such cases, it is necessary to distinguish knowledge intended for processing by computational devices from knowledge used by humans. In addition, with a large amount of knowledge, it is desirable to simplify the sequential management of individual elements of knowledge. A homogeneous representation leads to a simplification of the logic management mechanism and a simplification of knowledge management. The research is aimed at the analysis of knowledge representation methods in intelligent decision-making support systems. Currently, many models of knowledge representation have been developed. The main models include: logical models; frame model; network models (or semantic networks); production models. Therefore, the object of research is the intelligent decision-making support system. The subject of research is an intelligent decision-making support system.
The following is set:
– the methods (models, approaches) presented in the research for presenting knowledge in intelligent decision-making support systems in a canonical form are not advisable to use for a number of objective reasons given in subsection 3.1 of the research;
– it is necessary to develop new (improvement of existing) representations of knowledge in intelligent decision-making support systems, which will have the advantages of these approaches without their disadvantages.
Further improvement of these approaches to reduce the number of shortcomings and limitations of their application should be considered as the direction of further research.

Authors: Zaichenko Stefan , Derevianko Denys , Kulish Roman
Published: November 2023

The work considers the problem of determining the factors of energy efficiency of industrial parks in the conditions of military aggression in the conditions of the introduction of the National Economic Strategy and regulatory influence on Industrial Parks in Ukraine. The energy efficiency of industrial parks primarily depends on the main parameters of the selected technological processes that are embedded in the basis of enterprises and their productivity. A significant factor affecting the environmental friendliness and energy efficiency of industrial parks is the method of energy generation. On the basis of the analysis of the work of enterprises operating in conditions of military aggression, the main factors determining the energy efficiency of electricity production have been determined. Such factors are the overall efficiency of the power generating unit, which is determined by monitoring and diagnosing the power unit. Analyzing changes in energy efficiency, the characteristics of the power part of one of the most powerful diesel engines were selected. It is obvious that the diesel locomotive will consume more fuel to generate energy with a decrease in efficiency. The main diagnostic factors of generating equipment that affect the energy efficiency of industrial parks in conditions of military aggression are: the ratio of currents in compressor and depressurized modes, the real degree of compression, and as a result, the efficiency of the power plant. On the basis of the determined factors, the effectiveness of the implementation of the system of monitoring and diagnosing the power units of energy-generating equipment of enterprises in the conditions of military aggression was determined. Recommendations have been established to minimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions to ensure the main principles of industrial parks, environmental friendliness and energy efficiency.

Effects of cultivar, storage period, and seed-borne fungi on aflatoxin content of cotton seeds
Authors: Abd-Elsalam Kamel A. , Habeeb Marian M. , Asran Amal A.
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Non-sterilized seeds from three commercial cultivars of cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) were examined for qualitative and quantitative estimates of seed-borne fungi. The observed fungi were Aspergillus sp.1, Aspergillus sp.2, Penicillium sp., A. flavus, Alternaria sp., A. niger, Fusarium sp., Rhizopus sp. and A. ochrecous. According to the quantitative estimates, A. niger (36.02%), A. flavus (19.29%) and Penicillium sp. (16.74%) were the most predominant fungi isolated from the seeds. Other fungi occurred at frequencies ranging from 0.21% to 10.44%. Analysis of variance showed that each aflatoxin type (A) and cotton cultivar (V) was a significant source of variation in the seed aflatoxin content , while storage period (P) was a nonsignificant source of variation. The first-order interactions A×V and A×P were always nonsignificant sources of variation. In general, aflatoxin B1 content was greater than that of B2. Two regression models, derived from stepwise multiple regression analysis, were constructed to describe the effects of the isolated fungi (independent variables or predictors) on aflatoxin content (dependent variables). The first one-variable model (R2 = 34.8%) was used to predict B1 content, while the second five-variable model (R2 = 98.2%) was used to predict B2 content. It is worth noting that species of the genus Aspergillus alone accounted for 53.6% of the total variation in B2 content. In conclusion, cottonseed is susceptible to infection with toxigenic fungi that can be harmful during storage. The study demonstrated the deleterious impacts of A. flavus and aflatoxins on the assessed seed quality measures, highlighting the need to monitor toxigenic fungi and their aflatoxins. The findings of this study might aid in the development of techniques for reducing aflatoxins in oily seeds.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease that impairs motor function, justifying the help of a caregiver. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the motor function of individuals with SMA on caregiver burden. This is a cross-sectional study of 32 individuals with SMA and 27 caregivers, carried out in a rehabilitation center, using the identification questionnaire, anamnesis and sociodemographic profile, Motor Function Measurement Scale and Burden Interview. Motor function and caregiver burden were compared between SMA types using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and correlated using Pearson’s correlation test. Individuals with SMA type I had greater impairment of motor function when compared to types II and III, and individuals with type III had better scores in all domains of motor function. No correlation was observed between motor function and caregiver burden: however, most caregivers presented some level of burden, especially those from mild to moderate. Moderate to severe burden was found in caregivers with SMA in a considerable prevalence, which requires care and attention from health professionals.

RESUMO Atrofia muscular espinhal (AME) é uma doença neurodegenerativa que provoca comprometimento na função motora, justificando o auxílio de cuidador. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o impacto da função motora de indivíduos com AME na sobrecarga de seus cuidadores. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado em um centro de reabilitação com 32 indivíduos portadores de AME e 27 cuidadores, utilizando como metodologia o questionário de identificação, anamnese e perfil sociodemográfico, a escala da medida da função motora e Burden Interview. A função motora e a sobrecarga do cuidador foram comparadas entre os tipos de AME por meio da Análise da Covariância (Ancova) e correlacionadas pelo teste de correlação de Pearson. Os indivíduos com AME tipo I apresentaram maior comprometimento da função motora quando comparado entre os tipos II e III, e indivíduos tipo III apresentaram melhores escores em todos os domínios da função motora. Não foi percebida correlação entre função motora e sobrecarga de cuidador, entretanto encontramos a maior parte dos cuidadores apresentando algum nível de sobrecarga, com destaque ao de leve a moderado. A sobrecarga moderada a severa foi encontrada nos cuidadores com AME em uma prevalência considerável, o que requer cuidado e atenção dos profissionais de saúde.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the internal consistency of instruments used in Brazil to measure situations of violence against the elderly in two states. Method: a cross-sectional study with 481 elderly people in two different samples, states, and time periods. Two instruments were used to measure violence against the elderly person. The data was analyzed and the internal consistency between the items was measured by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results: the Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test showed a coefficient of α = 0.08 for the sample collected in Paraíba, while in Pernambuco it was α = 0.57. The Conflict Tactics Scale was highly accurate in defining violence, with a coefficient of α = 0.81 and α = 0.80 for the two samples. Conclusions: only the Conflict Tactics Scale turned out to be reliable and stable for determining physical and psychological violence among the elderly, thus contributing as a way of uncovering the phenomenon.

Resumo Objetivou-se compreender a violência no trabalho na perspectiva dos enfermeiros do atendimento pré-hospitalar móvel. Estudo transversal, com 67 enfermeiros do atendimento pré-hospitalar móvel. Realizado a partir de duas perguntas: “O que você entende por violência no trabalho?” e “Como você percebe a ocorrência da violência no trabalho no ambiente do pré-hospitalar”. Análise dos dados através da técnica de análise temática. Emergiram duas categorias: o que os enfermeiros entendem por violência no trabalho no ambiente pré-hospitalar móvel; e como os enfermeiros percebem a ocorrência da violência no trabalho no ambiente pré-hospitalar móvel. Destacaram-se ações de violência física, verbal, psicológica, comportamental, sexual, assim como advindas das características do processo de trabalho, praticada por pacientes, populares, profissionais da instituição de trabalho, profissionais de saúde dos hospitais de referência e profissionais com postos hierarquicamente superiores, nos locais de atendimento, de recebimento dos pacientes e na organização de trabalho, provocando queixas físicas, mentais e psicológicas, desprazer em realizar as atividades laborais e afastamento do trabalho. O estudo aponta a necessidade de discutir os fatores desencadeantes da violência contra os profissionais do atendimento pré-hospitalar e políticas públicas específicas à prevenção da violência no trabalho, visando a saúde dos trabalhadores.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the vegetative growth, yield, fruit quality, and survival of purple passion fruit grafted onto a rootstock tolerant to fusarium wilt in an area with a history of this disease. The treatments were the combination of three elite accessions of purple passion fruit (PutEdu01, TesEdu11, and a commercial accession as the control) and three rootstocks (ungrafted, autografted, and grafted onto Passiflora maliformis). TesEdu11 grafted onto P. maliformis shows the highest estimated yield at 307 days after transplanting in areas with fusarium wilt incidence.

Abstract The objective of this work was to study the growth curves of total dry matter (TDM) accumulation of the P30F33 and GNZ2004 maize hybrids using nonlinear models. The used models were: Brody, Gompertz, logistic, Meloun I, Meloun II, Michaelis-Menten, modified Michaelis-Menten, Mitscherlich, Richards, Schnute, von Bertalanffy, and Weibull. To estimate the parameters, the least squares method and the Gauss-Newton convergence algorithm were used. The adjusted coefficient of determination, the residual standard deviation, and the Akaike information criterion were used as criteria to evaluate the goodness of fit of the models. The Gauss-Newton method did not converge for 8 out of the 12 models studied. The Gompertz, logistic, von Bertalanffy, and Weibull models were considered appropriate for fitting the dry matter accumulation of the evaluated maize hybrids. The estimated TDM was 34,700 and 31,980 kg ha−1 for GNZ2004 and P30F33, respectively. The maximum daily gain in TDM was 483 and 381 kg ha−1, respectively, reached at 83 days after emergence, with TDM stabilization at 121 and 129 days after emergence. The logistic model is the best one to describe the TDM accumulation of the GNZ2004 and P30F33 maize hybrids.

A simple electrochemical technique was employed to synthesize nanocorn electrolytic manganese dioxide (MnO2) (EMD) in the presence of the structure-directing agent poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) at the optimum concentration in an aqueous acidic manganese sulfate bath. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed the formation of γ-manganese dioxide with nanocorn-shaped crystals at the optimum concentration – namely, 20 mg/l PVP. The finely ground material was successfully employed in the removal of the toxic dyes Chicago sky blue (CSB) and malachite green (MG) from aqueous solution. Various process parameters such as different adsorbents, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial dye concentration and pH were varied and optimized for both dyes. It was found that EMD20PVP showed 99.61% adsorption efficiency at an optimum dose of 0.04 g/20 ml of the 100 mg/l CSB dye solution at room temperature within 20 min. However, the same EMD20PVP sample showed 99.5% adsorption efficiency at an optimum dose of 0.07 g/20 ml of the 100 mg/l MG dye solution at room temperature within 120 min. From the adsorption kinetics study, it was concluded that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and the adsorption isotherm confirms that the reaction follows Langmuir adsorption for both dyes.
Henry Moore: Neo-Working-Classicist
Authors: Sutton Robert James
Published: November 2023

With his Family Group of 1948–49, Henry Moore seemed to have reneged upon his early-career commitment to modernist experimentation, pivoting towards a more representational style for this large public sculpture, his first major bronze, sculpted for and installed in one of the first purpose-built secondary modern schools of post-war Britain. The results aren’t easy to define stylistically. Figurative, certainly, but barely concealing a stockpile of references ranging across centuries and continents.
In this essay I will explore the implications of Moore’s stylistic shift with respect to both the contexts of the work’s conceptualisation and Moore’s personal investment in the opportunities presented to work publicly in that context. Moore’s working-class origins will be identified as foundational in the formation of an ideology given plastic purpose in this period, whilst the narratives of working-class experience at mid-century will be drawn upon to account for the ways this work relates to that period of social change.
Taking Andrew Causey’s identification of an affinity between Moore’s work at this time and Picasso’s ‘neo-classical’ period in the years after the Great War as a starting point, I will explore the consequence of Moore’s ostensibly retrogressive turn towards figuration with respect to the questions of context and intent that have informed writings on Picasso before proposing alternative terms on which Moore’s figurative turn might be understood, tied up with the socio-political upheavals of mid-century Britain.

Set-Theoretical Data Models in the Problem of Calculating Secondary Structures of RNA
Authors: Martyanov Vladimir
Published: November 2023

The tasks of counting the secondary structures of nucleotide sequences are a special case of combinatorial problems of high complexity (NP-problems) that can be solved by logic-heuristic methods. In addition, it is possible to use special software programs to solve the calculation of secondary structures of RNA nucleotide sequences for phylogenetic analysis (recovery of all mutations from an ancestor to the next one). In this paper, we propose more general means of data presentation and more powerful algorithms for calculating the secondary structures of RNA nucleotide sequences than in previous works of the author. In addition, we note that the software has great flexibility to solve problems of phylogenetic analysis. Computational experiments, the results of which are presented in this work, were carried out on the primary data taken from the website www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. In addition, data were also taken from the GenBank (USA) and EMBL (Europe) nucleotide sequence banks. The adaptation of the developed methods for calculating secondary structures was first carried out by searching for the full range of perfect repeats in genetic texts (the genomes of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (BA0000040_GR), Streptomyces avermitilis (BA0000030_GR)). As a result, a program was created that is customizable in many ways, including working in the alphabet, with extended consensus symbols (for more details, see the introduction).
Evaluation of Reliability Indicators of Multicomponent Equipment by Simulation Modeling
Authors: Krakovsky Yuri , Belyakov Vyacheslav , Bendik Nadezhda
Published: November 2023

Mathematical and software for calculating reliability indicators of multicomponent equipment based on an event-based approach by simulation modeling has been created. For each component, experts set the range of changes in operating time and its average value. A three-parameter triangular distribution was chosen as a probabilistic model of operating time of equipment components. A beta distribution is proposed as a probabilistic model for the average operating time under uncertainty. Reliability indicators are selected: numerical probability of trouble-free operation; numerical average operating time; numerical gamma-percent resource. The software was created in the Visual Studio 2019 environment using the C# programming language. The created software and mathematical software makes it possible to quantify the reliability indicators of multicomponent equipment depending on the uncertainty model, the number of components, as well as the technology of maintenance and repair.
Mathematical Model of the Loading Device of the Test Bench Mechanical Transmissions
Authors: Sorokin Alexander
Published: November 2023

The work is devoted to the development of a mathematical model of a loading device for a test bench for mechanical transmissions. The task of the stand is to check the performance of products before the large-nodal assembly of mechanisms. The testing process is characterized by the transfer of energy through the rotating shaft of the transmission with its loading according to a certain law, which is determined by the controlled operating and emergency modes of the transmission. The loading device is made in the form of a generator-motor structure on AC machines connected according to the mutual load scheme and mechanical loss coverage, with control of the transmission load moment by introducing an additional EMF into the rotor circuit of the asynchronous. A mathematical description of an autonomous electric power system of alternating current in phase coordinates has been developed and, using the Park transformation, the phase values of the stators and rotors have been converted into the d - q system. A dependence is obtained for calculating the load moment transmitted through the transmission. The limitations imposed on the stand electric drive are considered.
