The growing popularity of large language models in various fields of scientific and industrial activity leads to the emergence of solutions using these technologies for completely different tasks. This article suggests using the BERT, GPT, and GPT-2 language models to detect malicious code. The neural network model, previously trained on natural texts, is further trained on a preprocessed dataset containing program files with malicious and harmless code. The preprocessing of the dataset consists in the fact that program files in the form of machine instructions are translated into a textual description in a formalized language. The model trained in this way is used for the task of classifying software based on the indication of the content of malicious code in it. The article provides information about the conducted experiment on the use of the proposed model. The quality of this approach is evaluated in comparison with existing antivirus technologies.

The paper proposes a hybrid multi-agent solution search algorithm containing procedures that simulate the behavior of a bee colony, a swarm of agents and co-evolution methods, with a reconfigurable architecture. The developed hybrid algorithm is based on a hierarchical multi-population approach, which allows, using the diversity of a set of solutions, to expand the areas of search for solutions. Formulations of metaheuristics for a bee colony and a swarm of agents of a canonical species are presented. As a measure of the similarity of two solutions, affinity is used - a measure of equivalence, relatedness (similarity, closeness) of two solutions. The principle of operation and application of the directed mutation operator is revealed. A description of the modified chromosome swarm paradigm is given, which provides the ability to search for solutions with integer parameter values, in contrast to canonical methods. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(n2)-O(n3).

To develop a methodology for assessing the strength of ring flanges, research was conducted on the load-bearing capacity of welded pipe joints of varying diameters. The study employed the component finite element method (CFEM) implemented in the IDEAStatiCa Connection software. To verify the obtained results, a numerical experiment was carried out using the ANSYS software package. The investigation considered several types of flange joints made from welded pipes with different diameters. Parameters were selected based on common sections used according to russian Series 3.400-8 (Issue 2). The study found that for all cases, the highest stresses occurred on the flange at the joint with the smaller diameter pipe. The analysis indicated that the CFEM's applicability should be limited to diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D1/t1) of up to 40. Beyond this threshold, the CFEM does not accurately predict the strength of the joints due to the significant deformation that occurs in the pipe walls, forming a truncated cone shape at the flange junctions. For practical applications, formulas are proposed to check the strength of ring flanges. These formulas account for the weakening of the plates by bolt holes and provide conservative results. The findings highlight the necessity for additional numerical and physical experiments to refine the methodology for cases with D1/t1 ratios exceeding 75. The proposed approach offers a practical solution for evaluating the strength of ring flanges in welded pipe joints of varying diameters, contributing to the development of relevant engineering standards.

Framed fabric roof structures of the sawtooth-type are considered. The structures are arranged on rectangular plan. They consist of a number of sectors which are separated by arch-shaped supporting ribs. The sectors are covered with a prestressed soft shell. Geometric nonlinear static analysis of the shell is performed taking into account the effect of snow and wind loads. The general dimensions of the shell and the prestress value are considered as the primary variables. Quantitative assessment of deformation of the shell is carried out by means of so-called deformability index. The index is reciprocal to the relative deflection. A functional expression for approximating the deformability index is proposed. The expression is to be used at the stage of developing the design solutions for fabric structures. The coefficients of the function are found by means of the least squares method. The guidance for assigning the main parameters of the sawtooth-type fabric structures are given.

A study was conducted on the development of filler compositions based on heat-treated phosphogypsum for the production of paints and varnishes with luminescent ability. In the course of the study, it was revealed that the reduced phosphogypsum, which exhibits the properties of an ultraviolet pigment, can be used to produce paints and varnishes based on colorless varnish XB-784. When using a colorless varnish and synthesized ultraviolet pigment, paint and varnish materials can be obtained that form almost transparent coatings and have a luminescent ability. The introduction of unreconstructed phosphogypsum as a filler increases the covering capacity of paint coatings. Non-reduced heat-treated phosphogypsum as a filler does not give a luminescent glow under the influence of UV irradiation, however, it increases the hiding power of the material and enhances the luminescent ability of the UV pigment.
