The standard frequency spectrum according to regulatory documents is divided into three frequency bands. The third frequency range is currently not well studied and is represented on the standard sound insulation graph by a straight line. When sound is applied to the plate, at a certain frequency, bending waves in the plate are replaced by shear and longitudinal vibrations. Having considered the processes of propagation of shear and longitudinal waves in a soundproof barrier, it is possible to obtain an adequate physical model of wave propagation in the third frequency range, as well as to form an effective method for calculating the sound insulation of air noise. The physical model of sound insulation in the third frequency range is based on the use of objects in wave propagation media with concentrated parameters: coordinates, weight and velocity. The concepts of "concentrated" and "reduced" masses are introduced. Using the law of conservation of the amount of motion and the law of conservation of kinetic energy, formulas are derived for finding sound insulation in the third section of the standard frequency spectrum. The influence of shear waves on the third frequency range of the standard spectrum is considered. Formulas are given for calculating the initial frequency of occurrence of these waves and for finding sound insulation. The regularities of the appearance of the third section of the standard frequency spectrum are determined. The influence of longitudinal waves on the third frequency range is considered. Formulas for finding the limiting frequency, after which longitudinal waves appear in the partition, and formulas for finding sound insulation due to the action of longitudinal waves are obtained. The refinement of the sound insulation formulas using the modulus of elasticity, taking into account the creep of concrete, is shown. A computational experiment is being carried out to calculate sound insulation for building partitions made of heavy concrete of different thicknesses. Examples of graphs for calculating the sound insulation of air noise according to the method under consideration and according to the methodology of regulatory documents are presented.

Recently, the main principles in the field of municipal solid waste management are recycling and reuse of secondary resources. Information technologies are widely used in modern waste management technologies. Problematic is the issue of recognition of the sorting object on the waste conveyor. There are various robotic systems for automated separation of sorting objects. The article provides a description of the system in the process of "recognition - capture - movement" of a sorting object on a common conveyor. A group of sensors is used to identify objects on the conveyor, while simultaneously fixing the coordinates of each identified object on the surface of the conveyor belt. Information about the coordinates and properties of each identified object is transmitted over the communication line to the control panel by manipulators, which capture individual identified objects and mix them into special containers.

Results: in this article, the authors reviewed the process of workforce planning on the example of 3 General Contracting organizations. Having the technical documentation on the objects of the General contractors under consideration, the authors were able to deduce the number of workers during the construction of buildings. After analyzing the available statistics, we made a number of graphs showing the movement of monolithic teams on the objects. Based on the resulting graphs, the authors determined the average deviation of the actual number of monoliths from the planned one. Conclusions: the authors analyzed the dynamics of the construction of characteristic objects of different General Contracting organizations, indicating the difference in the values of the planned (projected) and actual labor resources at the facilities.

The article discusses the effect of photon drag (EPI) of electrons in a semiconductor quantum wire (QW) with hydrogen-like impurity centers and Kane's dispersion law, located in a longitudinal magnetic field. An analytical expression for the drag current density is obtained in the effective mass approximation, and its spectral dependence is investigated for various values ​​of the magnetic field B and the parameters of the QW upon scattering by a system of potentials of short-range impurities. It was assumed that the QW has the shape of a circular cylinder, on the axis of which hydrogen-like impurity centers are localized. It is shown that, in the one-band approximation, taking into account the nonparabolicity of the dispersion law leads to significant dynamics of the threshold of the spectral curve. The spectral dependence is characterized by a pronounced Zeeman effect. The possibility of using an ESP for the development of photodetectors of optical radiation with a sensitivity controlled in a magnetic field is discussed.

The article discusses the requirements for automated control systems in the production of Earth orientation devices. Various types of interferometers are analyzed for use in an automated control system for the manufacture of optical instruments for orientation of spacecraft on the Earth. An overview of the most common interferometer models is given, the characteristics and features of their schemes, development trends and manufacturers are discussed in detail. A comparison was made of the parameters of a number of imported and domestic interferometers suitable for use in an automated control system. The advantages and disadvantages of interferometers according to the schemes of Jamen, Mach-Zehnder, Sagnac, Michelson and Fizeau are considered. The Jamen interferometer was invented for the first time in 1856, to measure small refractive indices of gases. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer was developed on a similar principle, its main feature is that the beams of the rays obtained can be separated at a sufficiently large distance using a semitransparent mirror. In 1913, the Sagnac interferometer was invented; in its design, the light is divided by a semitransparent plate-divider into two beams, which propagate in a circle and are reduced by mirrors back to the divider. Albert Michelson in 1890 proposed an interferometer scheme, the basis of which is a light-splitting mirror. One of the most common is the Fizeau interferometer scheme, proposed in 1868. In this type of device, interference occurs in the gap between two reflecting surfaces. Based on the parameters of the problem under study, the choice in favor of the interferometer configuration according to the Fizeau scheme is justified. Interferometer OptoTL-60/125 from LLC "Optical laboratory" meets all the requirements.

This article examines the range of issues related to the construction of the subway in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, using the example of the newly built Thu Thuem area as an example. The problem of construction lies in the difficult mining and geological conditions of Ho Chi Minh City. The geological structure has terrigenous-mineralogical associations, which makes the underground tunneling of the subway lines very difficult. Therefore it was decided to build the subway on trestles, but the calculation of foundations on terrigenous-mineralogical associations requires a detailed geological study.
