Published: July 2023

AbstractNano-tendril bundles (NTBs) are nanostructures formed on the surface of tungsten under helium plasma irradiation with impurities. Upon annealing, NTBs of different sizes exhibit distinct morphological changes. This study aims to elucidate the underlying reasons for the different morphological changes observed in NTBs through the analysis of their thermal responses. A simulation approach was employed to investigate the temperature distribution of NTBs with different heights, aspect ratios, and porosities during annealing experiments. The simulation results revealed varying degrees of impact of height, aspect ratio, and porosity on the temperature distribution of NTBs during annealing. This finding contributes to a better understanding of the thermal properties and reactions of NTBs.

Published: July 2023

<p>As a specific category of artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) generates new content that resembles what is created by humans. The rapid development of GenAI systems has created a huge amount of new data on the Internet, posing new challenges to current computing and communication frameworks. Currently, GenAI services rely on the traditional cloud computing framework due to the need for large computation resources. However, such services will encounter high latency because of data transmission and a high volume of requests. On the other hand, edge-cloud computing can provide adequate computation power and low latency at the same time through the collaboration between edges and the cloud. Thus, it is attractive to build GenAI systems at scale by leveraging the edge-cloud computing paradigm. In this overview paper, we review recent developments in GenAI and edge-cloud computing, respectively. Then, we use two exemplary GenAI applications to discuss technical challenges in scaling up their solutions using edge-cloud collaborative systems. Finally, we list design considerations for training and deploying GenAI systems at scale and point out future research directions. </p>

Многие методы численного решения задач прикладного характера основываются на аппроксимации функций, то есть задачи, связанные с аппроксимацией функций (интерполяция, усреднение, оптимальная аппроксимация), и задачи, в которых аппроксимация рассматривается как промежуточный шаг в решении (это задачи численного интегрирования и дифференцирования).
Основными методами одномерной интерполяции являются следующие:
–	представление данной функции в виде некоторого полинома степени n-1, где n- количество сеточных точек данной функциональной зависимости;
–	рациональная – это случай, когда исходная функция выражается отношением полиномов;
–	сплайн-интерполяция – это изображение функции в виде фрагментов, каждый из которых является многочленом третьей степени.
Приближение функций сплайнами третьего порядка значится процессом результативным, достоверным, быстрым и являющимся наиважнейшим конкурентом многочленной интерполяции.
Если функциональная зависимость между рассматриваемыми параметрами имеет слишком сложную структуру, то сплайны удобны для результативного решения задач.
Сплайны третьего порядка нашли существенное применение на практике, так как являются наиболее простыми и достоверными.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SELECTION OF MODERN BUILDING MATERIALS FOR USE IN THE RESTORATION OF HARD AIRFIELD SURFACES IN CONDITIONS OF ARMED AGGRESSION
Authors: Davydov I. , Kozachuk V. , Khavrych H. 
Published: July 2023

In the course of hostilities (especially of high intensity), the Armed Forces of Ukraine will inevitably suffer certain losses of airfields. As a result of the bombing, the hard airfield surfaces were damaged, which hinders the reliable operation of aircraft. As a result, hard airfield surfaces needed restoration, and for this, materials with very strict requirements must be used. In recent years, modern modified structural materials have been offered in Ukraine, which make it possible to significantly reduce the recovery time: if the work is properly organized, the time can be no more than 7–10 days, provided that the required strength values are met characteristics – in compression, and in tension they are fully achieved. The consequence is a slight interruption of flights at the airfield, which is very relevant in the conditions of hostilities.
The main factors affecting the destruction of hard airfield surfaces in peacetime are natural influences, as well as loads during take-offs and landings of aircraft. Among the operational factors, mechanical effects, as well as the force and the temperature effects of the gas jet of aircraft jet engines should be singled out. If any damage to the runway surface, measures must be taken to eliminate it immediately, otherwise there is a risk of accidental damage and closure of the runway for long-term repairs. But in case of detection of malfunctions that threaten the safety of flights, they are eliminated immediately before the start of flights. This is a very important point in the operation of hard airfield surfaces: it determines the need to use such materials for the restoration of runways, which in the shortest possible time acquire the necessary values of the operational characteristics of hard concrete surfaces.
A wide variety of materials can be used for repair work, but if there are two limitations – the period before the start of operation and the duration of the work, then it is most appropriate to use modern materials. Such repair materials must meet the requirement: the strength of the materials must provide a load-bearing capacity no less than the existing airfield pavements and meet the requirements.

Published: July 2023

Modern combat weapons are one of the important and specific types of military equipment that largely determine the combat potential of the Armed Forces, and control and forecasting of their technical condition is an important component of ensuring serviceability. By the technical condition, we mean the totality of their properties, that change during operation and are characterized at a certain point in time by the defining parameters (signs) defined by the technical documentation. Given that the quantitative relationship between the chemical resistance of explosives and the terms of operation has not been established to date, it is necessary to conduct appropriate laboratory and experimental studies to assess their technical condition.
The article provides the methodical and technological bases of remote sampling of explosive substances of a given shape and mass, which are used to determine: the ignition temperature and the amount of energy released; mass fractions of moisture, volatile substances and components; chemical stabilty, acidity, etc. As an example, the process of sampling from the warhead of a guided missile is shown.
The study of combat units is carried out taking into account the features of the design and the action of the damage factors. High-explosive, fragmentation and cumulative targets have been developed for this purpose. Explosiveness, fragmentation (the number of useful fragments per 1 kg of charge) and cumulativeness (penetration depth) are used as the main parameters that determine their technical condition. The article provides examples of tests of various combat units and the results of the effects of factors affecting the target.
The implementation of the main provisions of the methodical and technological foundations of the research of combat units made it possible to make informed decisions about the possibility, expediency and features of their further exploitation.
A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE PRIORITY OF DIRECTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM OF WEAPONS AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGY TESTS IN THE CONTEXT OF DEFENSE PLANNING
Authors: Pavlenko A. , Larin V. , Haponenko H. 
Published: July 2023

In order to form the basis for solving the problematic issues of the development of the OVT test system in the context of defense planning, the authors proposed for the first time a methodical approach to determining the priorities of the system’s development.
The proposed methodological approach involves solving the problem of discrete multi-criteria decision- making based on the results of a comparative analysis, taking into account the priority of measures with limited financial and other resources.
To solve the problem, the article defines an approximate list of measures for the development of the experimental and testing base and infrastructure, on the basis of which a set of development options can be formed. A set of indicators for the evaluation of alternative development options has been formed in its preliminary form, which contains indicators of the prospects for the implementation of OVT development projects and the characteristics of options for the development of the experimental and testing base and infrastructure.
The methodical approach proposed in the article can be used as the basis of the methodology for determining the priorities of the development of the OVT testing system. The development of the specified methodology involves further research and determination of criteria for evaluating alternative options, selection and application of a method for solving the problem of discrete multi-criteria decision-making, analysis and generalization of the obtained results.
Impact of Seasonal Variations on Semen Parameters: A Retrospective Analysis of Data from Subjects Attending a Tertiary Care Fertility Centre
Authors: Malathi Anitha , Iyer Ramesh P. , Mohan Reji , Balakrishnan Sheila 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Seasonal variations in semen parameters have been detected in many previous studies, mostly conducted in the West and Mediterranean countries. Located in a tropical region, we have only three seasons – summer, winter and rainy season. Literature search did not reveal studies from Indian subcontinent.

Aims:
Our objective was to find if our climate produced seasonal variations in semen parameters such as sperm concentration (SC), total motile SC, morphology and vitality, which may have implications in fertility management.

Settings and Design:
This is a descriptive study, conducted at a tertiary level hospital. Semen analysis reports of male partners of all infertile couples during the 4-year period from 2019 to 2022 were analysed.

Materials and Methods:
The data were collected from records of all infertile couples registered for the treatment in the department during the study period. Semen analysis reports of male partners of all infertile couples attending outpatient department of the Reproductive Medicine Department during the 4-year period from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. The data of azoospermic and severe oligospermic (<5 million/mL) men and those receiving hormone treatment were excluded.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were analysed using SPSS 23 and variables expressed as mean and standard deviation. Changes in mean values over years and over seasons were evaluated using F-test. Post hoc analysis was done using Sidak method. P < 5% was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The data of 2326 patients were analysed. SC was lowest during summer but was not statistically significant. Sluggishly motile sperm per cent was maximum in rainy season (P = 0.002). Post hoc analysis showed significant variations in summer samples compared to both rainy and winter seasons. Head defect (HD) and tail defects showed a significant seasonal variation (P = 0.011 and P = 0.024, respectively), lowest HD seen in rainy season.

Conclusion:
Semen parameters showed seasonal variations, with favourable features in colder climates, and may need to be considered in infertility management, especially if the male is oligospermic.
