This article analyzes trends and examples of the use of digital technology in order to increase the efficiency and improve the quality of construction projects. BIM technologies already at the design stage make it possible to provide as much as possible all the signs that affect the construction object at the beginning of construction and its further operation. The number of these signs increases, due to the fact that the complexity of the construction process of construction objects increases, as the scale of construction increases, the volume of construction products and building materials increases. In this connection, the requirements for the general designer, contractor, customer, etc. are increasing. At the same time, the customer expects to find, in addition to the project, a solution to reduce costs and increase the functionality of the construction object with the highest parameters. The need for high-performance special technologies and methods of organizing the management of construction works is becoming more acute. BIM technologies are the physical and functional characteristics of a construction object presented in digital form. Digital technologies are an integrated special resource of competencies in order to obtain information about a construction object. It provides the basis for the possibility to accept special decisions of a construction object from construction to the moment of its demolition. This model provides an opportunity to delegate a virtual digital model from the creators of the project to the subcontractor, general contractor, owner, as well as the manager of the construction object. The technical tasks of using information modeling technologies are the starting point for planning an investment project both from the customer's position, since they define the scope of using a BIM model at all phases of the operation of a construction object according to the criteria for evaluating information, and from the position of the contractor, since it acts as the basis for generating a plan when a BIM project will be implemented. The list of characteristic technical tasks of BIM modeling application at different stages of the construction object life cycle is determined. The BIM project algorithm is proposed.

Industrial enterprises place high demands on the quality of demineralized water, the economic feasibility of this process, as well as its environmental friendliness. The water treatment plant begins with pre-treatment, which allows the removal of dissolved suspensions, mechanical impurities and organic substances. Most often, the pre-cleaning process is organized using clarifiers. The type of clarifier used significantly affects both the efficiency of the process and its economic characteristics. The paper presents a comparative characteristic of the operation of vertical cylindrical clarifiers of the Central Research Institute, VTI and high-speed clarifiers with a pulsating column. The main operational characteristics are highlighted, and the cost of clarified water is calculated when using different types of clarifiers.

The presence of a large number of undeveloped areas within the city - now inactive enterprises - creates a negative impact on the urban environment. Since these territories are depressed spaces, the design of new residential areas with characteristic high-rise buildings seems to be a logical path for the development of the city. However, uncontrolled urbanization and dense multi-storey buildings represent a fundamental change in the human environment. The consequences of this approach lead to a deterioration in the air exchange of areas and contributes to the formation of “heat islands” that affect air pollution. This contributes to the deterioration of the environmental and social situation and the emergence of a negative perception of the environment among the population. The worsening of this problem may cause a deterioration in the social climate in large cities. The article analyzes the impact of dense high-rise buildings on the environment located on the territory of non-operating enterprises. Methods for solving this problem are indicated. The results of field observations and studies of the interhouse space are presented, on the basis of which the role of convective flows of thermal origin in the air exchange of urban space is revealed. A comparative analysis of projects for the development of the territory of a former house-building plant with complexes for various functional purposes is presented.

The impact of the alkali NaOH on the structure and morphology of cellulose has been considered. Using X-ray spectroscopic microanalysis and electron microscopy, it has been determined that treatment of wood cellulose with aqueous solutions of NaOH allows to reduce the content of lignin in cellulose and significantly improve the topography of the fibers. A comparative analysis of alkali cellulose samples was conducted, obtained during treatment with NaOH solutions of 13.7% and 12.3% concentration for a process duration of 5.5 hours, at a temperature of 124 °C. It has been established that at the considered concentrations of NaOH, approximately ~75% and ~50% of lignin is removed from the original cellulose, respectively. The results of infrared spectroscopy indicate an increase in the amorphization of alkali cellulose. Alkali cellulose, formed at a NaOH concentration of 13.7%, exhibits superior morphological uniformity and a lower lignin content.

Roads have a huge impact on the life of a modern person. One of the key characteristics of the roadway is its quality. There are many systems for assessing the quality of the road surface. Such technologies work better with high-resolution images (HRI), because it is easier to identify any features on them. There are a sufficient number of ways to improve the resolution of photos, including neural networks. However, each neural network has certain characteristics. For example, for some neural networks, it is quite problematic to work with photos of a large initial size. To understand how effective a particular neural network is, a comparative analysis is needed. In this study, the average time to obtain the HRI is taken as the main indicator of effectiveness. EDSR, ESPCN, ESRGAN, FSRCNN and LapSRN were selected as neural networks, each of which increases the width and height of the image by 4 times (the number of pixels increases by 16 times). The source material is 5 photos of 5 different sizes (141x141, 200x200, 245x245, 283x283, 316x316) in png, jpg and bmp formats. ESPCN demonstrates the best performance indicators according to the proposed methodology, the FSRCNN neural network also has good results. Therefore, they are more preferable for solving the problem of improving image resolution.

Road surface quality assessment is one of the most popular tasks worldwide. To solve it, there are many systems, mainly interacting with images of the roadway. They work on the basis of both traditional methods (without using machine learning) and machine learning algorithms. To increase the effectiveness of such systems, there are a sufficient number of ways, including improving image quality. However, each of the approaches has certain characteristics. For example, some of them produce an improved version of the original photo faster. The analyzed methods for improving image quality are: noise reduction, histogram equalization, sharpening and smoothing. The main indicator of effectiveness in this study is the average time to obtain an improved image. The source material is 10 different photos of the road surface in 5 sizes (447x447, 632x632, 775x775, 894x894, 1000x1000) in png, jpg, bmp formats. The best performance indicator according to the methodology proposed in the study was demonstrated by the "Histogram equalization" approach, the "Sharpening" method has a comparable result.

Prism spectral devices have a spectrum-variable dispersion and therefore a nonlinear relationship between the wavelength and the position of spectral lines on the focal surface of a spectral monochromator device, which makes it difficult to calibrate such devices in terms of wavelengths and dispersion.Most often, the well-known Hartmat formula is used for graduation. However, the accuracy of its calculation is satisfactory only in a limited spectral range, and therefore the calculation is carried out on overlapping areas no wider than 200 nm with averaging in overlapping zones. Averaging gives a calibration curve (and, accordingly, a dispersion curve) with gaps at the joints. In this paper, we consider the possibility of using a single calibration for the entire spectrum region, providing smooth, continuous calibration curves. The best result is obtained by using the Hartmann formula for the entire spectral range, after which a set of deviations of the calibration points is determined. This set is interpolated by a polynomial of an arbitrarily chosen order n using the least squares method.

Social and pension provision are key processes in the activities of any state, and the issues of forecasting expenses for them are among the most important in the economy. The task of evaluating the effectiveness of the pension fund has been solved by various methods, including regression analysis methods. This task is particularly difficult due to the presence of a large number of factors determining the activity of the pension fund, such as: the number of recipients of old-age pensions, the number of policyholders, self-employed policyholders, recipients of benefits, insured persons and working pensioners. As the main approach to the study, the method of implementing a model competition was applied. Those variants that violated the meaningful meaning of the variables and did not fully reflect the behavior of the modeled process were excluded from the resulting set of alternative model options. The final option was selected using the multi-criteria selection method. It is revealed that the use of relative variables is important for qualitative modeling of the studied processes. The above model shows that an increase in the ratio of the number of employers and the self-employed to the number of insured persons leads to a decrease in the cost of financing social and pension provision.The model can be effectively used for short-term forecasting of the total annual volume of financing of the pension fund department in the context of changing social and macroeconomic factors.

The paper presents the results of a study, the purpose of which was to automate the process of designing ventilation for a residential construction project. The ventilation system is one of the most complex life support systems of a building, which has a significant impact on the level of comfort of residents. Automation of the design of such a system will reduce the number of errors, reduce the time and labor required for design. During the study, the design process was considered as a business process consisting of individual works. When modeling this process in the “As Is” notation, the connection of the ventilation system with other engineering systems and a number of other important factors were taken into account. In the process model, the most time-consuming and, at the same time, algorithmizable works were identified. Subsequently, these works were automated using code created in the Visual Studio environment in C#. This made it possible to reduce the number of errors and reduce the time spent on creating a ventilation system project.
