The paper proposes a two-stage method of training a robot based on demonstrations, combining a diffusion generative model and online additional training using the method of Proximal Policy Optimization. In the offline phase, the diffusion model uses a limited set of expert demonstrations and generates synthetic "pseudo-demonstrations", allowing to expand the variability and coverage of the original dataset. This eliminates the narrow specialization of the strategy and increases its ability to generalize. In the online phase, a robot with a pre-trained strategy adjusts its actions in a real environment (or in a high-precision simulation), which significantly reduces the risks of unsafe actions and reduces the number of necessary interactions. Additionally, parametrically efficient pre-tuning has been introduced, reducing computational costs for online learning, as well as value guidance that focuses the generation of new data on areas of states and actions with high Q scores. Experiments on tasks from the D4RL set (Hopper, Walker2d, HalfCheetah) show that our approach achieves the greatest accumulated reward with lower computational costs compared to alternatives. T-SNE analysis indicates a shift of synthetic data in the area of space with high Q scores, contributing to accelerated learning. The results obtained confirm the prospects of the proposed method for robotic applications, where it is important to combine the limited volume of demonstrations, the safety and effectiveness of the online phase.

The influence of the diffraction divergence of an acoustic beam on the characteristics of a single-channel acousto-optic correlator (AOC) is considered. A mathematical model is being developed to optimize the divergence of the acoustic beam of a single-channel acousto-optic correlator. It is shown that it boils down to amplitude and phase modulation of the pulse response of the device, and the nature of the parasitic modulation turns out to be invariant to the type of the correlator reference signal. As a result of numerical calculations, dependences were obtained that allow us to quantify the effect of diffraction divergence on the operation of the ACS. Methods of compensation for parasitic modulation are proposed, which makes it possible to improve the functionality of acousto-optic correlators.

The article offers a variant of the development of lighting design projects for outdoor architectural lighting. Based on the modeling of light distribution in the DIALux 4.13 program, brushes have been created using specific lighting devices that simulate lighting effects from real lighting devices. A variant of the sketch of outdoor architectural lighting using Adobe Photoshop has been created with the implementation of local lighting techniques using the example of a drama theater building. Using a three-dimensional model of the object, a light design project was created in the DIALux EVO program. The proposed method of creating sketches is useful in professional activities related to the development of sketches of lighting design projects based on their high-quality photographs without the need to develop three-dimensional models, for conceptual proposals of fragments of the urban light environment and landscape territories. Having developed a base of brushes (based on real light distributions of lighting devices), it is possible to create sketches of architectural lighting of buildings that implement various lighting techniques.

In this paper, heat transfer in a staggered tube bundle under steady and pulsating flow conditions is analyzed using numerical simulation. The numerical study was conducted for tube bundles with 5, 10, and 15 longitudinal rows. The Reynolds number Re and the Prandtl number Pr were 3400 and 3 respectively. Flow pulsations were characterized by both symmetrical and asymmetrical reciprocating flow. The effect of pulsations was estimated using the product of the relative dimensionless pulsation amplitude and the Strouhal number A/DSh, which corresponded to values of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.4. The numerical study was conducted using Ansys Fluent. The flow hydrodynamics in the tube bundle was described using the Reynolds-averaged unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. Based on the results of numerical simulation, it was found that the effect of pulsations on heat transfer in the tube bundle varies depending on the number of longitudinal rows. It is shown that an increase in the number of rows leads to a decrease in the Nusselt number ratio in a pulsating flow compared to a steady flow. It is established that the thermal-hydraulic efficiency increases with an increase in the number of rows. It is shown that asymmetric pulsations are more effective than symmetric ones for intensifying heat transfer when taking into account energy costs

Since 2017, EVRAZ ZSMK JSC has been developing and operating a mathematical model covering all processing stages from ore extraction to final products – SMM Forecast. The model will be used to calculate technical cases, plans, and parity prices for iron ore and coal, and its use brought more than 200 million rubles of economic effect in 2020 alone. The use of a universal mathematical model made it possible in 2023 to begin the development of a module for daily optimization of an agglomeration factory and blast furnace production. The article discusses the experience of EVRAZ ZSMK JSC in the development and implementation of a daily planning system based on the monthly planning model of SMM Forecast, as well as methods for achieving an acceptable speed of multi-period optimization. The SMM Forecast system was originally designed for end-to-end, scenario-based calculation of the main raw materials from ore and coal to finished products in a volumetric monthly planning. The system uses optimization algorithms to search for a global target function to maximize margin income under specified constraints. The mathematical model of redistribution uses the norms and technologies specified in the company's regulatory documents. At the same time, the model is universal and the transfer of algorithms from monthly to daily mode was carried out with minimal modifications. The article also discusses the difficulties encountered and various methods of solving these problems. The first problem faced by the developers was the low speed of optimization of the model in daily dynamics due to the strong complication of the optimization load. The calculation time has increased significantly, and to solve this problem, it took the introduction of a number of optimization cycles aimed at reducing the speed of solving equations, introducing variable boundaries, and determining starting points. As a result, the calculation time for one month was about 40 minutes. The second problem was the need to develop a complex supply management algorithm and optimize stacking at the sinter plant. As a result of solving this problem, a working tool has been developed that brings additional income to the enterprise.

This article is dedicated to developing a method for diagnosing depression using the analysis of user behavior in a video game on the Unity platform. The method involves employing machine learning to train classification models based on data from gaming sessions of users with confirmed diagnoses of depression. As part of the research, users are engaged in playing a video game, during which their in-game behavior is analyzed using specific depression criteria taken from the DSM-5 diagnostic guidelines. Subsequently, this data is used to train and evaluate machine learning models capable of classifying users based on their in-game behavior. Gaming session data is serialized and stored in the Firebase Realtime Database in text format for further use by the classification model. Classification methods such as decision trees, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, and random forest methods have been applied. The diagnostic method in the virtual space demonstrates prospects for remote depression diagnosis using video games. Machine learning models trained based on gaming session data show the ability to effectively distinguish users with and without depression, confirming the potential of this approach for early identification of depressive states. Using video games as a diagnostic tool enables a more accessible and engaging approach to detecting mental disorders, which can increase awareness and aid in combating depression in society.
