The mining industry, as well as the socio-economic development of this sector, makes a significant contribution to the development of the economy of some low-and middle-income countries rich in non-fuel minerals, as evidenced by the modified mining contribution Index (IVGP-BP). 10 of the 20 countries in which the mining industry contributes the most (the highest GPI-BP) rose one or two positions higher, according to the world Bank's country classification, between 1999 and 2019. Based on detailed data from the mining sector, such as mining, exports, prices, rents for mineral resources, mineral exploration expenditures, and state budget revenues, the current situation for 2019 is analyzed, as well as trends regarding the contribution to the development of the socio-economic level of the mining industry for 1999-2019.

The article presents the results of complex geophysical studies to assess the environmental safety of the construction of wind power tower installations in order to prevent their design and construction in technogenic and tectonically disturbed zones on the territories of mountain branches of closed mines in the Eastern Donbass. The brief essence of electrical exploration technologies of electroprospecting method by electrical spatial filtering (MPEF) and electro-potential tomographic sensing (EPTS). The information content of the technologies used in conjunction with standard geophysical methods of electrical exploration (vertical electric sounding and seismic survey method of refracted waves) is shown. The results of interpretation of data obtained in the field are discussed. The results of the research were: - identification of EPTS technologies of structural inhomogeneities of the geological section of coal-bearing deposits with their division into lithological (repetition of the form on the electric profiling graphs shifted by the step of the feed line transfer) and tectonic or technogenic ones (difference electric probe curves at adjacent points) - detailing of destructive zones identified by EPTS using MPEF technology: 1) inversions of electro-profiling graphs registered with multidirectional electric field excitation. 2) displacement of inversion points in places where tectonic discontinuities are present in the coal-bearing column.

The paper provides an analysis of the principles of the multichannel protection system. The analysis showed that in order to solve the problem of ensuring secure communication with an external resource through public networks, it is advisable to use a multi-channel system with different channel capacities, while the main channel and spare channels that are connected to work when the main channel cannot handle all incoming applications with probability of 0.95. This model takes into account that the channels are filled hierarchically, and are freed up as the applications are processed.

This work was carried out as part of research on the development of methods for the intelligent analysis of medical thermometric data. These methods are designed to create a consultative intelligent system for the diagnosis of breast cancer. We propose a new approach to the formation of a feature space based on microwave radiothermometry data that are designed to detect malignant tumors. In the process, about 200 new signs were obtained and tested. Based on them, we created an algorithm for the localization of tumors in the mammary gland. This algorithm is a weighted voting algorithm that is configured using a genetic algorithm. The resulting localization algorithm can achieve an accuracy over 70% in test samples.

An idea is introduced of the directing structures of the director and reflex types that contribute to the formation of air flows, which in a given way contribute to an increase in mechanical power on the shaft of its rotor. These structures can be used to amplify the moment on the rotor shaft by increasing its useful interference with the stator. Qualitative considerations about the influence of the introduced guide structures are confirmed by the introduction and numerical aerodynamic calculations of two modernized designs of a promising vortex wind power installation, considered in the previous works of the authors. The most optimal variant of rotor modernization was selected, which made it possible to increase the power on its shaft by an average of 45% relative to the corresponding power for the design of a wind turbine with an initial rotor shape in the operating range of wind speeds from 1 to 12 m / s. The materials of this article can be used to design the optimum aerodynamic power criterion for the rotor of wind power plants, their stations, as well as integrated power power plants, including a wind power plant as one of the renewable sources of energy.

Mathematical models with analytical properties are needed to create modern stabilization systems for various objects and technical systems. This is due to the fact that most of the existing methods for the synthesis of automatic systems are based on mathematical transformations of models of control objects. However, for complex objects and systems, these models are obtained experimentally. Moreover, the experimental data are approximated by various well-known methods. If the dependences are essentially nonlinear in nature, they are approximated by sections. Such a fragmented model as a whole is not analytical, which excludes the use of many well-known methods for the synthesis of nonlinear stabilization systems. In these cases, it is advisable to use the new Cut-Glue approximation method developed at DSTU, which allows one to obtain an analytical model of an object from piecewise approximations. This analytical model allows you to apply the analytical method for the design of quasilinear control systems for nonlinear objects. In this paper the propoused approach is illustrated by example of the design of a nonlinear system for stabilizing the flight altitude of an airship.

The article is devoted to the development of a complex of mathematical models describing the functioning of a data storage system based on solid-state drives using deduplication technology. The mathematical model of the user application generates a load on the system as a stream of requests, randomly sized according to the Pareto law, and with random time interval between requests. Requests are received at the input of the storage system into the network service model, then to the VDO deduplication system model, then to the software RAID model and, finally, to the solid-state drive model for read/write operation. Due to the nature of SSDs, system performance in read and write modes is modeled separately, taking into account the different speed characteristics of RAID-5, RAID-6 and RAID-10 arrays. The mathematical model of the reliability of each RAID array is based on the Kolmogorov-Chapman system of equations for calculating stationary probabilities describing transitions between states in a discrete Markov chain. The durability of the system is determined through the model for assessing the exhaustion of the recording resource of solid-state drives. The mathematical model for estimating the storage cost includes the costs of equipment, resources and maintenance over the entire operation period of the system. The final result is a mathematical formulation of the problem of data storage system optimal design, which allows selecting the system architecture and parameters that are optimal in terms of a combination of factors – reliability, speed and cost of data storage.

Cities around the world lack land resources, despite the fact that the housing stock is in a state of extreme deterioration. The solution to this problem becomes such a concept as renovation - the process of updating urban space. This mechanism is currently provided for in the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, but for a number of reasons its implementation in practice is limited. Renovation is necessary in the prevailing conditions of the modern world in order to adapt the spaces of former industrial zones for their use in an already new format. The vast majority of industrial companies cease to operate within cities, and their territories turn into neglected neglected development, isolated from the urban social environment. The authors of this article reviewed and analyzed the benefits of implementing renovation programs for residents of the Russian Federation.
