The flight scheduling process is briefly described in the article. It is one of the most important stages of space flight control task solution. Three stages of flight scheduling are given: strategic, tactical and executive. The result of each scheduling phase is presented by special plan type: on-orbit operation summary, weekly lookahead plan, short-term plan. The difference of these plan types is in planning interval and data processing depth. The mathematical modeling of all required data and restrictions is made. A crew downtime minimization is the selected optimization criterion. Modified genetic algorithm for decision of assigned task is designed. The future tasks regarding crew activities scheduling process optimization are defined

Now development of the administrative principles is directed on selection of the corresponding forms of total activity of employees of the investment and construction sphere. The methodology of a point of profitability shows, how many production the organization has to realize to refund the expenses. We offer model of management of integration in construction, using the mathematico-statistical analysis and considering calculation of a point of profitability. Here factors – receptor, administrative and effector take place. In experience information of the construction enterprises of Rostov-on-Don was used. The profit after introduction of innovations grows quicker, than before their introduction since the point of profitability decreases after calculation of the organization for invested in innovations. On examples the criterion of expediency of merge of the construction organizations – the carried-out amount of works is shown. On the basis of this criterion it is possible to solve a problem of streamlining of operations in construction systems by integration of information space of organizational and technological, economic and other applied systems.

Case is an event that took place in the past and can be an example for similar steps in present. Case-based reasoning (CBR) is a methodology of finding a decision based on previous experience. The main difficulties in CBR are recognition of present situation of decision-making and finding similar case in the past. Making a decision in the field of purchasing drugs is a quite difficult and many-valued task with a plenty of various parameters, which however might be solved with the help of CBR. CBR is an important and perspective area of artificial intelligence (AI) decision support systems. Constantly growing research amount has already led to breakthroughs in theoretical part of AI and in AI-based applications. The general case model and formula for determining cases similarity is suggested in this work. Application of the formula will help determine similarity of cases and make the better decision.

The proposed method of designing hardware components optical switching systems simplifies prototyping and development of systems of optical switching and multi-core VLSI. This method allows to automatically set parameters of the optical system at the design stage, depending on the requirements. This method may be cost-effective at the stage of technical specifications of the project, as will reduce the time required for its coordination between the customer and the design engineer.
At the heart of developing a method of designing systems, optical switching elements is a comprehensive analysis of the equations and functions describing the electrical and optical properties of laser heterostructures, as well as electro-optic modulators and Fabry-Perrot resonators. Fundamental static and dynamic characteristics of semiconductor diode lasers can be calculated by using a set of kinetic equations describing the interaction of electrons, holes and photons in the active layer of the laser structure. At various stages of this method is processing, evaluation and calculation of the main characteristics of the elements of integrated optical switching systems.

The problem of the current method of mass cadastral valuation of land settlements with the type of permitted use - for individual housing. This problem is that the regression analysis used in the present method does not include the cost depending land on their mutual position. A study of the source data proved that the market value of land depends on the degree of proximity of land from each other. On this basis, the work was proposed to use a new, more correct cadastral valuation method - the method of geostatistical interpolation (kriging).

In this work we have investigated the structure of individual single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes by high-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction. To grow carbon nanotubes we used a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. It was shown, that this synthesis protocol gave in general single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotubes with a high level of crystallinity. The diameters of the nanotubes were in the range 1.5 - 7 nm. We also observed that there was a certain level of amorphous carbon deposited on the nanotube surface during the growth. In this work we also present the structure analysis of the double-walled carbon nanotube by means of electron diffraction. We show that the structural date derived from electron microscopy and electron diffraction agree within the experimental error.
