Abstract
Thailand plays a central economic and policy-making role in Southeast Asia. Although climate change adaptation is being mainstreamed in Thailand, a well-organized overview of the impacts of climate change and potential adaptation measures has been unavailable to date. Here we present a comprehensive review of climate-change impact studies that focused on the Thai water sector, based on a literature review of six sub-sectors: riverine hydrology, sediment erosion, coastal erosion, forest hydrology, agricultural hydrology, and urban hydrology. Our review examined the long-term availability of observational data, historical changes, projected changes in key variables, and the availability of economic assessments and their implications for adaptation actions. Although some basic hydrometeorological variables have been well monitored, specific historical changes due to climate change have seldom been detected. Furthermore, although numerous future projections have been proposed, the likely changes due to climate change remain unclear due to a general lack of systematic multi-model and multi-scenario assessments and limited spatiotemporal coverage of the study area. Several gaps in the research were identified, and ten research recommendations are presented. While the information contained herein contributes to state-of-the-art knowledge on the impact of climate change on the water sector in Thailand, it will also benefit other countries on the Indochina Peninsula with a similar climate.
Phosphorus fate, transport and management on subsurface drained agricultural organic soils: a review

Abstract
Large quantities of mineral phosphorus (P) fertilizer are often applied to intensively cultivated organic soils. Although erosion and runoff can contribute to loss of P, the large amount of fertilizer applied causes a rapid build-up of this nutrient, resulting in the downward movement of excess P in the soil profile and subsequent loss through tile drainage water. For arable organic soils, these losses often occur through subsurface tile drains, a common requirement to maintain a favorable air–water balance in the crop root zone, as well as to prevent soil subsidence. As such, subsurface drainage is a major pathway for agricultural P loss, contributing to persistent eutrophication of rivers, lakes, and estuaries globally. Although studies have been conducted on P mitigation within organic soils, application of drainage water management (DWM) as a P mitigation strategy in these soils, has not been extensively studied. The objective of this paper is to address this gap in knowledge by reviewing previous studies on P losses from subsurface drained agricultural organic soils while evaluating potential mitigation strategies. Specifically, this paper assesses the unique properties of organic soils that could influence P fate and transport, such as the distribution of P pools within the soil pools; variable pore geometry, hydrophobicity, and shrinkage; P loads exiting tile drains; and DWM practices in mitigating P losses. It is concluded that P retention is affected by the dynamic nature of soil water movement in organic soils and that substantial P loads enter surrounding water bodies via subsurface drainage effluent. There is evidence that DWM is an effective best management practice in the abatement of subsurface P losses.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The ASD tug is considered the modern habour tug due to its versatility in performing a wide variety of tugging/towing operations. With the advent of autonomous systems and desire to improve operations, there are benefits to automating the tug operations. Under different operating environments, there could be uncertainties in the model and the disturbance from the environment significant enough to affect the performance and control of the tug. In this paper, we consider the problem of tracking a desired trajectory for an autonomous ASD tug in the presence of uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The numerical modelling of an ASD tug based on a modified 4-DoF MMG model is first presented. The modified Maneuvering Modeling Group (MMG) model is then used to design a model based backstepping control. Thereafter, a adaptive neural network approximator is introduced which has the capability to account for uncertainties and unknown disturbance. The combination of approximation-based and backstepping design techniques allows us to handle time-varying model uncertainties. Stability analysis is carried out for the control design via Lyapunov analysis. Simulation are carried out for the tracking of maneuvering motion paths to demonstrate the performance of proposed approach.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The digitalization of the maritime sector is continuously growing, leading to increased automation, such as, the development of autonomous vessels. The Autonomous Passenger Ship (APS) is a characteristic instantiation of this development, aiming to transport people on urban waterways. Although emerging technologies deployed in such APS aim to facilitate the functions and operations of the navigation and communication systems, various safety and security risks are inherent to the communication infrastructure due to their interconnectivity. The aim of this work is to study the safety and cyber security of the communication system of an APS, namely the MilliAmpere2 APS. The six step model (SSM) is utilized to facilitate the joint analysis. The application of the SSM enables, among others, the capturing of relationships between cyber attacks and component failures, the assessment of safety and cyber security countermeasures, as well as, the synergies between them. It has been found that most countermeasures in both categories are reinforcing or are conditionally dependent on each other, while few antagonize each another. These findings will allow for improved design and implementation of integrated safety and security management solutions.

Abstract
The European maritime transport policy recognizes the importance of the waterborne transport systems as key elements for sustainable growth in Europe. A major goal is to transfer more than 50% of road transport to rail or waterways within 2050. However, waterways are at a disadvantage as they normally depend on transhipment and land transport to and from final destination. To meet this challenge we need a completely new approach to short sea and inland waterways shipping in Europe. This needs to include ships as well as ports and the digital information exchanges between them. A key element in this is automation of ships, ports and administrative tasks. The AEGIS project has been funded by the EU Commission to develop new knowledge and technology to address this challenge.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The natural component in the formation of the historical settlements’ plan composition (on the example of the Moscow city) is studied in the article. A scientist Kudryavtsev believes that the main technique in the Russian medieval architects’ arsenal was the reception of the buildings’ location similarity, planning elements and compositional accents to the location of vegetation types on relief elements. This thesis was taken into account during conducting research on the subject to make a historical documentary compositional analysis of urban planning content - Petrov Drawing. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the drawing’s organic geometry of the Moscow 16th century plan, combined with the modern plan to confirm the truth of the town-documentary planning. In this research option, the combination of the compositional structural analysis’ method, which is typical for the art study, and the environmental approach, adopted to address issues of urban planning, are optimal.

Abstract
Our scientific research aim was to develop a technological scheme for drinking water preparation, taking into account the natural waters quality and the water supply conditions of small populated areas in the Far North of Russia. Preliminary experimental studies’ results of a new treatment technology, carried out on a pilot installation in the production conditions of the Yakutia settlement with the natural water purification of the river Vilyuy are presented in the article. Studies of drinking water preparation technology, developed by NSUACE (Sibstrin), Novosibirsk, show that it ensures the drinking water quality that meets regulatory requirements, minimizes the cost of building and operating water treatment plants. The cleaning technology is as follows: the source water is supplied to the source water tank from a water supply source. Next, water is supplied to the electrochemical processing unit by the booster pump, consisting of two electrocoagulators. In the electrocoagulators, the aluminum electrodes slowly dissolve; aluminum hydroxide flakes are formed; sorbing impurities of iron; manganese and other contaminants from the treated water.
Mathematical models of filtering in an extended loading layer
Authors: Chirkunov Y , Skolubovich Y 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The study of liquid or gas motion in a porous medium in the framework of classical models does not always adequately describe the real processes. This is due to the fact that in these models the presence of a non-stationary source is not taken into account. The same applies to the models of a filtering in the extended loading layer. For a more adequate description of the real processes of the filtering in the extended loading layer in the presence of a non-stationary source, we took the invariant submodels of a well-tested, adequately reflecting real processes without a source, Leibenzon model, to which we added a non-stationary source, which is singular at the initial time. Such sources are often found in a practice. We studied the invariant submodels of this model, which are described by exact solutions. We found their physical meaning. For particular values of the parameters that determine these submodels, a pressure distribution grafs are constructed.

Authors: Sineeva N 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Attention to such natural objects as small rivers of the Russian cities is constantly growing. This is due to the desire of urban citizens to create recreational zones near their homes, the central place of which are sections of small rivers. It explains the need to expand the network of hydrological posts in the agglomeration, where observations of water quality indicators, hydrological regime, etc. provide important information for the creation and implementation of improvement projects for the territories under consideration. This article provides a small part of the necessary hydrological and environmental monitoring on the small river Eltsovka-2 in the city of Novosibirsk.
Effective modes of driving piles into seasonally frozen Soilt
Authors: Verstov V , Serebrennikov A , Khritankovi V 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The disadvantage of this method is the additional costs of using drilling machines and disposal of soil, which also leads to an increase in labor costs and a decrease in work productivity. It is necessary to place an additional set of drilling equipment, an excavator and vehicles for soil removal at the construction site. The authors proposed a technology, when the piles are driven into the leader wells to the depth of the frozen soil to solve this problem. The wells are arranged by means of a thermal vibrolider, installed on the head of a pile driver, on its adjacent face with a pile hammer and moved along it with the help of guides under the cable transmission action. Thermovibrolider is made in the form of a cylindrical hollow rod with a tip, where a vibrating submer is installed. A heating coil is installed in the tip, and there are ribs along its lateral surface, used for cutting soil and breaking its solidity, but also for transferring additional heat to it, which leads to intensification of thawing processes. The presented technological solution makes it possible to increase the efficiency and reliability of the driving piles process into such soil by eliminating of pile shafts destruction during their immersion through the frozen layer, as well as reducing the values of the piles deviations in the planned position.

Abstract
Main difficulties, arising in the selection of a workers link, as well as changes in the parameters of the model, depending on the composition of the link in organizational and technological planning are discussed in this article. The results, obtained in the course of the study, are summarized in graphs. Variant modeling of the technological process complexes implementation consists in finding a variant of teams’ composition, taking into account their intra-team plans and combining them at the work fronts, where the indicators of production program (construction plan) will be the best one, according to a given criterion and restrictions on resources and conditions of the customer. Otherwise, construction period of the first option was 22.46 months: the duration of each subsequent house construction was 19.5 days longer than the previous one. In variants 2 and 3, this difference decreased to 14.5 days, and the total duration decreased by 4.88 months and amounted to 17.58 months.
Construction of functional relationships providing cross-polarization equivalence of electromagnetic scatterers
Authors: Soppa M 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Impedance coatings of cylindrical bodies’ synthesis in order to achieve their cross-polarization equivalence (coincidence of scattering diagrams for E - and H - polarizations of the incident wave) are considered in the work. The stationary model of electrodynamics’ two-dimensional equations with modified boundary conditions is used in order to construct dual distributions pairs of surface impedance. Using the Green’s function, a transition is made to the system of integral equations in the framework of the boundary element method. The operators’ appeal of solutions to direct problems made it possible to obtain functional relationships for the distribution of surface impedance at various polarizations. This made it possible to provide required ratios between the norms of dual coatings.
History of Novonikolaevsk City Formation (1877–1905)
Authors: Navolotskaya A 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The official date of the Novosibirsk (Novo-Nikolaevsk) city foundation, established in the early 1990s, was the result of an opportunistic ideological agreement between Soviet party and economic bodies, representatives of science and the public. The city formation was considered both in the event and in the legal aspect. The article is based on the terms, accepted in science: “foundation of a settlement” and “transformation of a settlement into a city”. In chronological order, based on archival sources, the main foundation stages of the settlement and its transformation into the city of Novo-Nikolaevsk are highlighted. The report contains irrefutable evidence regarding 1904, as the date of the Novo-Nikolaevsk city formation, the key role of Emperor Nicholas II and the heterogeneous population, in the process of the city formation and development. The restoration of historical truth by returning true dates, names and events should become the norm for other Russian cities, the return of its true history.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The influence of financing forms on the development projects effectiveness for the creation of apartment buildings are examined in the article. The financial model of the project of creating an apartment building (PC AB) in terms of escrow financing is described. This method of financing appeared in Russia recently as a result of amendments to the Federal Law dated 30.12.2004 No. 214-FL. The study aim is to analyze the impact on PC AB financial characteristics of banks requirements for the minimum investments volume of developers’ own funds in such projects. The calculations are based on the financial model of PC AB developed by the authors (it is described in the text, made according to the data of a specific PC AB in Novosibirsk). As the study result, a description of PC AB main financial results and indicators of its effectiveness was obtained for the traditional condition of escrow financing (investment by the developer of its own funds in the amount of more than 10% of PC AB cost) and for an alternative condition (investment less than 10%). It follows from the study that the bank’s softening of the requirement on the amount of developers’ investments leads to an increase in the efficiency of their investments, i.e. more active developers. Therefore, there is a potential for growth in banks’ incomes both by increasing the average loan amount and by increasing the number of loans.

Abstract
The purpose of the current research is identification of problems that the investment and construction business faces in conditions of innovative economics. The urgent necessity to systematize these problems and find ways of their solution determined the relevance of the research. Using the methods of statistical processing of information, economic groups and logical analysis, the authors assessed innovative activity of enterprises, concluded that it was reduced, and pointed out the main problems of the investment and construction sphere. The problems include technological backwardness and low level of innovation, insufficient qualification of stuff, which is able to generate and introduce innovations in construction, and lack of attention of company management to the strategic aspects of innovation. The problem of investment and construction enterprises related to the restoration of business that suffered from pandemic is especially highlighted. These problems are closely related to the low level of investment in the innovative development of the construction business. Financing of the innovative activity is directly related to all participants of the innovative process. It is necessary to organize a clear mechanism for participants’ interaction. As a result, authors of the current research classified the participants of the innovative process in investment and construction business, determined their functions. The authors suppose that the problems of innovative financing are the most significant. In this connection, the problem of venture financing of the innovative activity is considered in more detail and solutions are offered.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In connection with degradation of permafrost soils, the issue of designing and building foundations is acutely raised, taking into account the possible thawing of the soil at the base of structures. A spatial foundation platform is less sensitive to deformations of the foundation soil due to the integral work of the structure, compared to other foundations. For this and a number of other reasons, the use of the platform is promising. As the main structural material in spatial foundation platforms, it is advisable to use engineering wood, because of its advantages in comparison with reinforced concrete and metal. The article presents some results of calculations of the foundation platform of the folded type. The COMSOL Multiphysics software package simulates the process of thermal degradation of the soil under the foundation platform caused by an increase in air temperature. As a result, the soil warming zone was established, which is necessary for the design of the foundation platform taking into account changing boundary conditions. Preliminary conclusions are made about the influence of the degradation of the frozen base on the stress-strain state and the structure of the foundation platform of the folded type.
Problem of stabilizing the nonlinear “seesaw” model object
Authors: Frantsuzova G A , Votrina O A , Meleshkin K N 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to discuss the problem of stabilizing the nonlinear type of oscillatory objects. The object under research is “Seesaw” model object which has many interpretations with different physical properties and mathematical models. Such a construction is used in biomechanics for implementing the “natural” gait of a human simulating the knee joint, for instance. This object can be stabilized by well-known techniques such as relay control, transitions controller, PI-regulator and others. Such a model has a lot of nonlinearities that makes the process of constructing the mathematical model and designing the stabilizing system more complicated. One of “Seesaw” models that consists of a mass suspended by an inelastic fiber was stabilized by methods of maximizing and minimizing the domain of attraction. The results of calculating and simulating the object within its stabilizing system show that the object can be successfully stabilized by relay control in case of minimizing the domain of attraction. However, the case of maximizing the domain of attraction leads to opposite transient process.
