CONSIDERATION OF GEOMETRIC NONLINEARITY IN MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF PROBLEMS OF THE THEORY OF SPRING
Authors: Oksana Bilova
Published: April 2024

Solutions to many problems that are important for practice that arise in modern technology cannot always be obtained by traditional methods of the theory of analytical functions or by means of integral transformations. This applies, for example, to contact problems in which the finite dimensions of the region are taken into account in at least one direction, or media with curvilinear anisotropy are studied, etc. The means of the mathematical theory of elasticity are not very effective for the study of such problems. In this case, it is advisable to use the achievements of the potential theory. The use of asymptotic methods at the same time, even in complex cases, makes it possible to obtain well-founded approximate equations, clarify qualitative regularities, and obtain analytical solutions to problems. This paper presents a generalization of the perturbation method, which makes it possible to reduce the study of complex problems of geometrically nonlinear elasticity theory (in the plane and spatial formulation) to the consistent solution of simpler boundary value problems of the potential theory. The geometrically nonlinear theory of elasticity contains some features that make it different from the classical (linear) theory. The main difference is to take into account the difference between the geometry of the undeformed and deformed states of the body under study, when there are movements that cause significant changes in the geometry of the body. At the same time, the equilibrium equation must be drawn up taking into account changes in the shape and size of structures. Taking into account finite deformations, which when creating mathematical models leads to significant difficulties in solving problems, but at the same time brings the model closer to the real problem.

Authors: Ihor Hnylytsia
Published: April 2024

The speed of direct high-temperature extrusion of ceramics based on silicon nitride was analyzed. The influence of grain boundary slip and viscous flow of the intergrain phase on mass transfer processes and deformation rate is established. The influence of the parameters of the high-temperature deformation process on the deformation rate is shown. An equation is proposed that describes the effect of grain boundary slip and viscous flow of the intergranular phase on the strain rate. The described equation of strain rate can be used to create technological processes of plastic deformation of ceramic materials.

ANALYSIS OF SIMULATION DATA OF A SUPERSONIC FLOW IN A SHORT NOZZLE WITH A NOZZLE
Authors: Oleksandr Pryadko , Kateryna Ternova
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we analyzed the influence of the geometric parameters of a shortened nozzle when operating under various conditions - at sea level (at Р=1 bar) and upper atmosphere (Р= 0.1 bar). The influence of geometrical parameters of the nozzle, pressure at the inlet, and the environment on the impulse characteristics of the flow are considered. It is shown that the momentum factor decreases with decreasing inlet pressure, but with increasing flight altitude, i.e. a decrease in the pressure of the external environment, the momentum coefficient decreases to a certain value, and then increases again. This character of the dependence is explained by the wave structure of the flow in a shortened nozzle. The study of simulation data can be used to create new types of nozzles for rocket and space technology.

Authors: Daria Togobitskaya , Alla Bielkova , Nadiya Khodotova
Published: April 2024

A new approach has been developed to assess the thermodynamic state of the "metal-slag" system in the production of cast iron and steel using the parameters of interatomic interaction. As a result of computational and analytical studies of the indicators of the melting products of the blast-furnace and steelmaking processes, the regularities of the coordinated change in the chemical compositions of the metal and slag melts were revealed. A close relationship has been established between the integral indicators of metal (ZY) and slag (, e), characterizing the chemical and structural state of their melts. As a criterion for evaluating the thermodynamic matching of melts of the "metal-slag" system when it tends to equilibrium, an analytical expression is proposed in the form , which can be implemented in automated process control systems to solve the problems of controlling the thermal and slag modes of iron production and steel of the required composition.

Authors: Valentyn Verenev
Published: April 2024

On the basis of massive and long-term experimental and industrial measurements of the torque in the drive lines of cages of continuous wide-strip hot rolling mills, a correlation between the maximum dynamic moment during strip gripping by the rolls and the moment in the steady state of rolling has been established. As a result of the random effect of technological disturbances and gaps according to the measurement data, correlation fields of static and maximum dynamic moment values are formed: the greater the static moment, the greater the dynamic moment. This dependence was not revealed on a small array of measurements. The fields are approximated by a linear dependence and have a number of features that can be used to assess the stability of the rolling process and the condition of the equipment, calculate its resource, determine the most "heavy" assortment under load conditions, and adjust the crimping regimes.

INVESTIGATING STRATEGIES FOR DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL INPUT DATA AMOUNT FOR OBJECT RECOGNITION IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
Authors: Dmytro Soldatenko , Viktoria Hnatushenko
Published: April 2024

Satellite imagery recognition is a vital application of computer vision, with numerous potential use cases in fields such as disaster management, land use, and urban planning. This study aims to identify the optimal amount of input data required for training the neural network for satellite imagery recognition. To this end, a series of rigorous experiments are conducted to investigate the impact of input data quantity on several performance metrics, including accuracy, convergence, and model generalization. The findings reveal that an increase in input data quantity generally improves model performance up to a saturation point, beyond which further increases do not lead to significant improvements and may even lead to overfitting. The research proposes several strategies for identifying this saturation point and mitigating the effects of overfitting. The results gained from this research may help in designing more effective models for satellite imagery recognition.

Published: April 2024

Technical diagnosis of the drive of well rod pump units (WRPU) remains an urgent task, despite the significant amount of research in this field. One of the areas of diagnosis is the measurement and control of the angular velocity of the rocking machine elements, which requires the provision of synchronous registration and control of acceleration signals at many points of the control object. The authors proposed to implement such a system based on the wireless sensor module Steval-MKSBOX1V1 of STMicroelectronics. The results of the experimental approbation of the use of the specified module showed the effectiveness of its use for solving diagnostic tasks, since the module contains a significant set of sensors in combination with a unit for processing, storing and transmitting information via a wireless Bluetooth interface. An additional advantage of using the selected measuring module is the possibility of remote reprogramming of the module's software to perform the tasks of controlling the kinematic parameters of the installation in the process of conducting research directly at the technological facility. The use of three coordinate accelerometers as part of the measuring module allows to significantly increase the reliability of control in the diagnostic process.

Authors: Valasi Loukia
Published: April 2024

One of the benefits of the folklore revival is the enrichment of information about the folk instruments andthe and dances of the Greek tradition and their evolution both morphologically and musically. Many times, thedefinition of the Greek tradition divided intellectual people who tried to detect the basic characteristics thatdifferentiate the Neo-Greek culture from the cultures of other peoples. Moreover, traditional dances are part of thespirit of observance, as one of its main means of expression..In this particular study, the aim is to demonstrate thecharacteristics of the Greek tradition and the tradition of the Balkan people with the traditional instrument santourias a reference point. The santouri plays an important role in the Greek tradition as well as in the tradition of theBalkans. It is remarkable that it is one of the few instruments where we find variations of the instrument that bringroots from other countries. Due to the significant influences during the Renaissance period, the study is focused onthe „Hora“ dance and how it was interpreted in the traditions of Greek and Balkan music. The “Hora” is mentionedto identify a Romanian dance and music genre that shows diversity according to the tempo and the timesignatures.This of course has an influence on Greek traditional dance music where influences from the culture ofother Balkan peoples and Eastern Europe are noticeable, such as "Μakelariko", what we know today ashasaposerviko.. The research is focused on two main aspects: a) the comparison of the two musical dance genres"Hora" and "makelariko" (known as hasaposerbiko) and b) is there a difference in the way of performance in thefield of Greek traditional dances and the corresponding Balkan dances of “two beats” time signatures focusing onthe two dances of the study? The method used is qualitative-bibliographic and the sample concerns archival materialrelated to Greek and Balkan traditional dances. Regarding the santouri, in both Greek and Balkan origin, althoughthere is not a wide range of literature on the santouri by academic historians who have dealt with the specificinstrument, the bibliographical sources come from important players or from specialized instrument makers.
CUBISM WITH ITS AESTHETIC PARADIGMS AS AN AVANT-GARDE CULTURALARTISTIC MOVEMENT AND AN ART PRINCIPLE FOR CREATING ANALOGUE FASHION SOLUTIONS
Authors: Kertakova Marija , Efremov Jordan
Published: April 2024

Design in applied art is a process of creating and developing a plan for an aesthetic and functional object,which requires appropriate research, thinking, modeling, adaptation and creation. Aesthetics today appears invarious forms of art. Therefore, when we talk about something that creates an aesthetic experience, we are usuallytalking about some form of art. The focus of aesthetics is not limited but directed towards aesthetic ideas, ideals andsublime appearance. Cubism as an artistic movement is a new way of representing the world. We could associate thebeauty of Cubism with the unconventional value, because its aesthetic paradigms penetrate the elements thatsurround our environment. The works are deformed, illogical, irrational, broken down into small details. Still lifeand portraiture are like a set of geometric shapes that interact with each other. This direction with aestheticparadigms turns into a special form of the avant-garde, where sharp angles, straight lines and neutral colors play adominant role. Artistic pictures - still life, portrait – do not have to look real, they are like a puzzle that the viewerhas to mentally put together, while the consumer has to feel fashion and always need change, because it itselfchanges daily in direction of something new and different. The very idea of designing analog fashion solutions onthe theme of “Cubism“ is derived from the feeling and perception that Cubism is an artistic movement, which findsthe most ordinary spatial patterns and configurations of things, phenomena that represent all the complexity anddiversity of life. At its core, Cubism perceives the world through geometric forms. It can be seen that the works aredominated by the concept of geometric simplification of the forms of the human body. All these aspects combineinto a simple and unique form or symbol, but each of them provides a key to interpretation, each offering a distinct“reading“ of the image. A person's abilities and imaginations are sometimes simply amazing, because they developand express their creativity in different ways. From such a concept came the cubist style, a style of somethingextraordinary and interesting. Cubism as a cultural artistic movement, with its artistic principles, shows free forms,bizarre construction of figures and objects, as if light currents passed through the objects and tried to show the objectfrom different angles. Thanks to the created creations on the theme of cubism, the world is introduced to the style offlat forms without perspective with completely new and unusual colors, which communicate with each other. Thisartistic movement, possessing all these aesthetic paradigms and artistic principles, still manages to influence thecreation of absolutely unconventional analog fashion solutions today.

While prior research hinted at connections between environmental factors and rising COVID-19 cases, these links remained inconclusive. This study investigated indoor and outdoor (I/O) ratios and explored potential correlations between fine particulate matter (PM2.5), meteorological conditions, and the case fatality rate (CFR%) of COVID-19 in Bangkok and its metropolitan area from January to December 2021. In Spearman’s Rank correlation analysis, the results found that CFR% exhibited a positive correlation with relative humidity (RH) (r=0.187) and a negative correlation with PM2.5 (r=-0.190) and wind speed (WS) (r=-0.039). The generalized additive model (GAM) indicated that RH, PM2.5, temperature, and WS adversely affect the CFR% of COVID-19. Consistent relationships between PM2.5, RH, and WS were observed in both Spearman’s Rank correlation and the GAM model. This study underscored the complexity of understanding pandemic dynamics across seasons, I/O ratios, and the influence of lag days. By presenting the results, they may serve as a valuable reference for planning interventions during future pandemics.
Regensburg Convention of Electors 1636/1637
and Brandenburg's Struggle for Imperial Peace
Authors: Belyaev Michail
Published: April 2024

The subject of this article is the policy of the Electorate of Brandenburg, aimed at concluding peace with the warring powers of the anti-Habsburg coalition during the Regensburg Convention. According to the ruling emperor, the purpose of the convention

was to elect a Roman king – the future Emperor Ferdinand III. However, the Brandenburg Elector Georg Wilhelm set as his task the conclusion of peace, which should be preceded by an amnesty for the classes that did not sign the Prague Peace. During the

preparation for the convention and the convention itself, it became clear that the Saxon Elector Johann Georg was pursuing an anti-Brandenburg policy. On his initiative, Brandenburg found itself drawn into a war with Sweden, then Johann Georg invited his colleague Georg Wilhelm to make concessions: to transfer Pomerania to Sweden in the name of peace in the Empire. During the convention, Brandenburg proposed to begin negotiations using the mediation of the Polish king. This was rejected by the majority of the Electors. Then a proposal was made to begin negotiations together with the emperor on concluding peace with Sweden and France. As a result, negotiations with Sweden

failed. On the issue of amnesty for the Duchy of Württemberg, the Brandenburg delegation failed. As a result, under the influence of the leader of the delegation and a supporter of the Emperor Schwarzenberg, Brandenburg agreed to the election of the Roman king. As a result, Brandenburg's peace policy failed.
Anglo-Russian Military Cooperation in the Year of 1799:
Based on the Materials from the «Journal of the Dutch Expedition» by I. Fiodorov
Authors: Egorov Alexander
Published: April 2024

For centuries England and Russia most often acted as antagonists during

major military conflicts. Only three times in the century-long history of relations were

they military-political allies and partners: in the late 18th and early 19th centuries

during the First and Second World Wars. In this article, based on the analysis of the

«Journal of the Dutch Expedition» by Ivan Fiodorov – a document stored in the archives of the Federal Institute of the Russian History of the Russian Academy of

Sciences of St. Petersburg, which had never before been involved by historians, an attempt is made to characterize (based on the text of this document) Anglo-Russian military cooperation in the years of the Second Coalition war against Republican France, an important element of which was so-called «Secret Expedition» in the autumn of 1799 to Holland in which both English and Russian troops took part.
«Armenian» VS «Georgian» Local Texts: on the Problem of Gnesis and Ways of Evolution
Authors: Potapova Evgeniya
Published: April 2024

The article provides a comparative analysis of two local texts ‒ Armenian and Georgian. In the aspect of genesis, the reasons for the different chronological origin of local texts and their interrelated further development are revealed, based

on the classification of the expression of the lyrical subject in the poetic text and the theory of the supertext. The hypothesis about the reasons for the emergence of opposite vectors of the development of Russian poetry about Georgia and Armenia is put

forward. The ground of the research is the theoretical basis of X. Bloom's «fear of influence» and «strong texts», as well as a receptive approach, they help to hypothesize two conditions for the formation of a supertext education.

Scientific and Technological Advances as Current Challenges to the Biological Weapons Non-Proliferation Regime
Authors: Poklonskii D. L.
Published: April 2024

The recent advances in biological sciences and biotechnology have resulted in new knowledge and capabilities that  challenge existing understandings of biological threats and biological weapons (BW). The purpose of the article is to  evaluate scientific and engineering decisions that pose potential challenges to the biological weapons non-proliferation  regime and can reduce barriers to their development, production and use. Materials and methods. The scientific articles  available through the PubMed, Google Scholar and Russian Electronic Library databases were used in the research.  The method of analysis is the description. The results of the research. The success of biotechnology provides impetus for  experimentation with biological weapons, particularly by non-state actors such as terrorist organizations and extremist  groups. Transformative changes are occurring in areas not directly related to microbiology. However, the potential for  their malicious use is no less of a concern than the development, production and stockpiling of biological weapons.  The transformation of the concept of «biological threat» is traced. It becomes more complex and includes elements  from other fields outside of biotechnology and the traditional understanding of biological weapons. In addition to  biotechnology and synthetic biology, such technologies that are directly related to the BTWC issue, may include:  additive manufacturing based on 3D printing technologies; big data analysis and artificial intelligence technologies;  nanotechnology and materials science, as well as biological research automation and robotics. Conclusion. Many dual-use technologies have received close attention from the scientific community and international experts, but this does  not always contribute to an accurate and balanced understanding of their potential in the context of BTWC issues. The  convergence of new and emerging disciplines is creating new areas of scientific knowledge that address the problem of  non-proliferation of biological weapons, which requires the expert community to make a balanced assessment from  the point of view of both dual use and the risk of excessive prohibition and negative impact on further scientific and  technological progress.
Fabrication of free-standing GaN substrates using electrochemically formed porous separation layers

Published: April 2024

We have developed a pore-assisted separation (PAS) method for the fabrication of free-standing GaN substrates, where bulk GaN crystals were separated from seed GaN templates at electrochemically formed porous layers. The pore size was controlled by the electrochemical process conditions and must be greater than 100 nm to realize separation within whole wafers. A 2 inch free-standing GaN substrate having a low dislocation density of ∼2.7 × 106 cm−2 was realized by growth of an 800 μm thick GaN layer on the porous GaN template. A 3 inch free-standing GaN substrate was also fabricated by the PAS method, indicating its good scalability.
