Blurred frames pose a significant problem in various fields such as video surveillance, medical imaging and aerial photography, when solving the following object detection and identification, image-based disease diagnosis, as well as analyzing and processing data from drones to create maps and conduct monitoring. This article proposes a method for detecting blurred frames using a neural network model. The principle of operation of the model is to analyze images presented in the frequency domain in the Hough space. To further evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed author's solution, a comparison was made of existing methods and algorithms that can be used to solve the problem, namely the Laplacian method and the manual sampling method. The results obtained show that the proposed method has high accuracy in detecting blurred frames and can be used in systems where high accuracy and clarity of visual data are required for decision-making.

In this paper, a new intent and entity recognition model for the subject area of air passenger service, labelled as IRERAIR-TWIN, is developed using the ‘no code’ question-answer development platform ‘TWIN’. The advantages of the no-code platform were analysed in terms of the ease of developing an application question-answer system and reducing the amount of work involved in developing an application model for a narrow subject area. The results show that the ‘TWIN’ system provides an intuitive web-based user interface and a simpler approach to develop the semantic module of a question-answer system capable of solving application problems for a narrow subject area that are not overly complex. However, this approach has limitations for deep semantic analysis tasks, especially in complex contextual inference and processing of large text fragments. The paper concludes by emphasising that future research will focus on using ChatGPT-based ‘low code’ platforms and large language models to further improve the intelligence of the IRERAIR-TWIN model. This extension aims to broaden the scope of the scenarios.

Providing the population with comfortable housing has always been a pressing issue. However, there are very few formalized criteria for this, apart from the regulation of minimum floor areas. In this context, the article deals with the problem of evaluating the efficiency of residential space design solutions in terms of their logistical comfort. For this purpose, a method is proposed that uses the apparatus of graph theory and allows to calculate the time cost of an "idle" move for a representative of a given social group in relation to the evaluated design solution. An idle move is a user's movement between characteristic functional zones of the layout. A special matrix is used to model the links between these zones, the construction of which is similar to that of the incident matrix in undirected graphs. As an example of the applicability of the proposed approach, several variants of layouts of one-room, two-room and three-room flats are considered. The comparison of the obtained results for different types of layouts, including those that existed 15-20 years ago and modern ones, indicates a tendency to increase the logistic comfort of modern layouts.

Slag-alkali binder (SAB) is obtained by polymerization of granulated blast-furnace slag (aluminosilicate component) ground in a ball mill with an alkali activator, resulting in an environmentally friendly hydraulic polymer binder. Slag-alkali concrete (SAB) based on SAB has become an alternative to traditional concrete based on portland cement (PTC). Reinforcement bars in combination with SAB make it possible to obtain concrete structures with high adhesion properties to reinforcement compared to concrete based on portland cement. However, due to differences in the production process of SAB, there are obvious differences in technical properties, including adhesion characteristics. However, proper standardization is needed for its production and operational testing to limit contradictory results in the laboratory and on the construction site.

In modern architectural design, a balance is being sought between preserving the value of ancient monuments and the need to create a modern comfortable, aesthetic, well-maintained urban environment using modern technologies, styles and methods. This contradiction makes it difficult to implement such projects to integrate historical and cultural monuments into the modern environment, which leads to a decrease in the quality of urban structures. In the article, using the example of the historically developed Gremyachaya Gora complex, which includes an element of the cultural heritage object "The Complex of Fortifications of the Roundabout City" in Pskov – the Gremyachaya Tower, the main problems preventing the implementation of various design solutions are identified, as well as modern architectural trends and techniques used when working with ancient objects located in the natural landscape are investigated. The author of the article proposes an up–to-date concept of the formation and use of the Rattlesnake Mountain complex, the basic principles of which are implemented in one of the most successful projects of recent decades on this topic - a tourist center organized on the basis of the medieval Hammershus fortress in Denmark.

A method for recording holograms using digital cameras with high spatial resolution is considered. To register holograms obtained in optical setups with an inclined reference beam, a high resolution of registration systems is required. To do this, it is necessary to use media with a resolution of 2000-4000 lines per mm. The use of photographic plates requires a fairly long exposure and development time, which is usually done separately from the optical setup. In the case of holographic interferometry systems, it is necessary to provide for mounting the hologram back into the optical setup with sufficiently high accuracy. Therefore, digital holography methods have been developed to record holograms on photomatrices with limited resolution. These methods are based on the use of optical schemes at small angles (less than 5 degrees) between interfering beams. Recently, sensors with a single element size of 1.33 µm and 0.56 µm have appeared. This resolution makes it possible to return to registration schemes with angles between interfering beams of 30-60 degrees. This allows us to hope for the revival of holographic methods and methods of holographic interferometry at the modern level without the use of intermediate recording media.

Nowadays, numerical methods are widely used to realise complex calculations.Verification of the correctness of the numerical calculation results is a relevant task. The validity of the results can be confirmed by determining the stress-strain state by various methods. This paper presents the results of the calculation of thin isotropic ring spherical shells of constant thickness with half-shell angle in the range of (90-170) degrees by two numerical methods. The results of solving the system of differential equations of the general moment theory of shells with the use of the computer mathematics system (Maple 2017) and the finite element method (FEM) are discussed. The given examples show that the calculation results with the use of the selected finite element KE-44 coincide with an accuracy of 10-15 % for shells with a half-shell angle of 120 degrees. When the angle is increased to 170 degrees, the difference in function values becomes significant. The paper gives some examples of calculation of ring spherical shells under the action of one and three annular loads. The variation of axial and radial displacements, of meridional bending moment for shells with the ratio of radius of the curvature to shell thickness 25, 50, 100, 200 is shown. Plots of meridional bending moment and moment isopole are given.

One of the causes of local overheating of submersible electric motor caused by the presence of a significant variation of electromagnetic parameters of rotor packages (RP) in the assembly of submersible electric motor is investigated in this paper. Due to the presence in the assembly of RPs with an active resistance much lower than the average resistance of the assembly, the electrical losses in RPs with resistance higher than the average increase, respectively, their heat generation increases. With the help of statistical analysis methods, the distribution of electromagnetic parameters as a two-dimensional random variable was investigated, the "convolution" of the two-dimensional distribution law was constructed. The analysis of the "convolution" of the two-dimensional law of distribution of electromagnetic parameters of the RP showed that there is a high probability of a significant scatter of parameters of the RP in the assembly.

The paper presents an algorithm for modeling production and economic characteristics for obtaining crop products, with the help of which planning problems are solved using multi-level parametric programming methods under average and unfavorable operating conditions for commodity producers. Since time series of characteristics associated with the production of products can be described by trends to assess adverse events, an algorithm for their identification was used based on the construction of multi-level trends according to the idea of the hierarchical structure of the time series. When using this algorithm, a sequence of local minima is formed from the original series, a trend is built, and levels located below this trend, called unfavorable events, are identified. The assessment of the probabilities of these events is determined by the distribution law, which describes a number of differences in actual data and trend values of a sequence of local minima. In the absence of trends and considering series of characteristics in the form of random variables, statistical and physical criteria are applicable to identify unfavorable events. As such, it is proposed to use the average value of local minima. Of the adverse events received, the smallest of them are distinguished, which represent rare events. Based on the identified events and other characteristics, the problem of optimizing the production of agricultural products is formed, the solution of which allows us to obtain optimal production volumes in accordance with maximum incomes corresponding to the calculated probability of events. A comparative analysis of planning results under average conditions and taking into account unfavorable events shows the likely losses of commodity producers at the enterprise and municipal district level.
