A model system was designed and test  trials of physical and mechanical characteristics of small – crystalline and granular flotation potassium chloride are studied. This model system allows to design storage and transportation  of fertilizers in bulk in railway wagons and it has the same static and vibrational load as real system. The effect of temperature and relative humidity of the air on hygroscopy of small – crystalline and granular КСl were studied. Furthermore the influence of static load, and time length  of compression process of fertilizing layer and parameters of static and vibrational load on composition of КСl granules were investigated. It was experimentally proved that the humidity increase (0,5 %) of granular КСl and the  increase of static load and time length  of compression process of product during transportation in bulk lead to increase of compaction degree and caking ability of product. Research of the influence of high static load (10-30 kg/sm2) and time length of compression process of fertilizing layer on caking ability and degree of compaction show that small – grained KCl has smaller degree of compaction and considerably higher value of caking ability in comparison with granular KCl.

Universal method of optimal control synthesis offers a versatile method for the synthesis of optimal controls provides a solution to the synthesis problem for the class of piecewise constant functions for Lagrangian dynamical systems, the shape of the control law depends only on the structure of the cost functional and does not depend on the structure of the existing system of generalized forces. The effectiveness of the method is confirmed by a minimum of computational costs, as well as the maximum rate of convergence and accuracy to achieve the desired trajectory in comparison with the known solution for example has become a test for testing various control methods for the synthesis problem of a simple pendulum.

The article highlights the issue of conservation of water and energy resources, the dependence of its decision on the environmental responsibility of business entities and tactical goals towards environmental management.  Also the essence of the work carried out in the production of ammophos is described (Hydrometallurgical plant, Lermontov town), which is a good example of solving one of the many tactical tasks in the direction of environmental management. Specific purpose of the work was to identify the savings reserves of energy and natural resources. The application object of the study is the energy-intensive production of ammophos (fertilizer complex of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds), in particular the boiling-down of ammoniated pulp. The load decrease by evaporated water by 75% is achieved the implementation of technical solutions in terms of sealing pumps work (replacing inefficient crevice seal on a metal face seal) installed on the circulation line of ammoniated pulp. This reduces the coolant flow for boiling-down of high pressure steam and drinking water saving, which is the raw material for the production of fluid. Ecological and economic efficiency of the proposed solutions is confirmed by the calculation of the expected technical and economic parameters, performed on the basis of data generated in monitoring: coolant saving - 3039 Gcal / y; 2430 rubles / g; drinking water saving - 11,477 rubles.

This paper presented the study of the mechanochemical activation powder mix in dry and liquid grinding media, accompanied by agglomeration of the particles. It Is shown that when agglomerate particles having a bimodal size distribution is forming during the treatment in a dry grinding media and partially (2 wt % ) decaying at grinding by pestle in mortar. The transition to liquid grinding media is leading to a unimodal size distribution and increasing dispersion of the agglomerated particles, characterized by secondary agglomerating when using the alcohol and destruction when using activation in saturated aqueous solution of boric acid. Inherited effect mechanical activation parameters on the compaction process during cold compaction and hot stamping has been determined. Application treated in a high energy mill in an grinding media saturated aqueous H3BO3 Al-Si powder mix results in the formation of moldings with low cold-pressing relative density (0.735) and the activation of the hot stamping compaction (|εh| = 0,592) providing production of hot-deformed powder material with increased mechanical properties.

The article discusses issues related to the development of the optimal structure of neural networks. One of the major problems in the synthesis neural conrollers is ensuring optimal number of neurons and connections between layers  in the network. Necessary to achieve a compromise between the representational network capabilities, and memory that will be required to store it. The article presents a number of heuristics, allowing to reach such a compromise by limiting the number of connections for each neuron.
This is done through the introduction of two characteristics for the neuron: the radius of the coverage and density of connections. Coverage radius determines the number of neurons that could potentially have a connection to this neuron, and the density of the compound gives the actual number of such compounds. Altogether, these characteristics determine the amount of synaptic connections, which can have a neuron. The article presents the heuristics that allow to define these characteristics depending on the network structure.

In modern industry, welding plays an important role for jointing materials and arc welding has been the dominant process for many years. In general, in order to produce a high-quality weld, the system should have two main functionalities. First, it should have the capacity of directing the welding torch based on the detection of the joint location and geometry, namely “seam tracking”. Second, the system should be able to adjust the welding parameters, namely “adaptive control of the welding condition". Both functionalities heavily rely on the sensor systems. The analysis of welding technological processes, adaptive control and intelligent  systems proved the  opportunity of utilization artificial neural networks in the procedure of  weld seam tracking and weld head movement control. Welding process engineering and adaptive correction with artificial neural networks  are considered in the paper both with the computer vision system based on video monitoring and laser profilоmetry.  The paper is focused on the development of a proper sensor system to facilitate the arc welding automation and neural network-based control to provide precise seam tracking and high-quality joints.
