The article discusses the structure and principle of operation of an improved centrifugal unit for mixing bulk materials. A special feature of which is the ability to control mixing modes. Due to its design, the selection of a rational position of the bump makes it possible to provide such conditions for the impact interaction of particle flows, in which a high-quality homogeneous mixture of components is formed, the particles of which have different sizes, shapes and other parameters. To characterize the resulting mixture, the coefficient of heterogeneity was used, the conclusion of which is based on a probabilistic approach. A computational scheme of the rarefied flow formation process is given. An expression is derived for calculating the coefficient of heterogeneity when mixing bulk media, the particles of which have different sizes, shapes and other parameters. The research conducted in the article allows not only to predict the quality of the resulting mixture, but also to identify the factors that have the greatest impact on achieving the required uniformity.

The article discusses some methods for the construction of long-span coverings from precast reinforced concrete elements and prefabricated steel structures. To systematize these design and technological solutions and determine the effectiveness of their application based on the parameters of manufacturability, a comparative analysis was carried out. The construction technologies were compared according to the following parameters: specific and total labor intensity, the level of mechanization, the total number of elements, the average and maximum mass of one element, the total mass of the mounted elements, and the equilibrium coefficient. The analysis showed that for reinforced concrete structures, installation in blocks is most effective, involving preliminary enlargement at ground level, followed by lifting and installation in the design position. Precast reinforced concrete shells have a higher level of mechanization and a degree of equilibrium, which makes it possible to use crane equipment efficiently, but due to their considerable weight, they require the use of supporting structures and high-load cranes. The installation of prefabricated steel structures in its entirety with preliminary enlargement at ground level is the least laborious, but the need to install a large number of low-mass piece elements reduces manufacturability.
Keywords: installation of long-span structures, installation of triple-layer rotational shells of double curvature, installation of steel beam structures, installation of a spatial structural roof unit, installation of the entire roof structure as a single unit
The article discusses a software module developed by the authors for automatic generation of program code based on UML diagrams. The relevance of developing this module is due to the limitations of existing foreign code generation tools related to functionality, ease of use, support for modern technologies, as well as their unavailability in Russian Federation. The module analyzes JSON files obtained by exporting UML diagrams from the draw.io online service and converts them into code in a selected programming language (Python, C++, Java) or DDL scripts for DBMS (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL). The Python language and the Jinja2 template engine were used as the main development tools. The operation of the software module is demonstrated using the example of a small project "Library Management System". During the study, a series of tests were conducted on automatic code generation based on the architectures of software information systems developed by students of the Software Engineering bachelor's degree program in the discipline "Design and Architecture of Software Systems". The test results showed that the code generated using the developed module fully complies with the original UML diagrams, including the structure of classes, relationships between them, as well as the configuration of the database and infrastructure (Docker Compose). The practical significance of the investigation is that the proposed concept of generating program code based on visual models of UML diagrams built in the popular online editor draw.io significantly simplifies the development of software information systems, and can be used for educational purposes.

The compositions of self-compacting fine-grained concrete using mineral additives such as silica, limestone flour and trepel, as well as polycarboxylate superplasticizer, have been studied. The main attention is paid to the effect of the composition of the mixture on the compressive and flexural strength, density, water resistance and frost resistance of concrete. The test results showed that samples with silica demonstrate increased strength, while the introduction of trepel and limestone flour reduces this indicator. The highest density and frost resistance (F600) were achieved in formulations with silica, without additional additives. The work highlights the importance of optimizing the grain composition of aggregates and the choice of plasticizers to improve concrete performance.

The arrangement of protective structures of civil defense is currently vitally important, especially for populated areas located near the combat zone. A pressing issue in the design of shelters is the correct determination of the volumes of air exchanges required to ensure the stay of those sheltered during the standard periods. An analysis of changes in climate and microclimate parameters over the past years and methods for calculating air exchange in protective structures was conducted. A classic model of the process of changing the temperature and humidity of the air with a variable coefficient of inclination of the beam of such a process was built. The redundancy of air exchanges calculated according to the data and methods of the latest regulatory document is shown, leading to an increase in capital costs for the arrangement of a shelter.

Currently, one of the main factors influencing the formation of architecture is the functional purpose of the building, since it determines the essence of the architectural object. The purpose of the scientific work is to study the influence of building functions on the historical architecture of Europe and their impact on the development of modern architecture. This article sets the objectives of studying the classification of functional purposes of buildings, conducting a retrospective analysis of the development and formation of architectural styles in Europe, based on world design experience and the conducted research to identify the influence of the building function on its planning and volumetric-spatial solutions in the process of architecture development. The research method is the analysis of the historical architecture of Europe from the time of the inception of architecture to the present day, carried out on the basis of world design experience in different eras. In the course of the study, four main trends in the development of the functions of modern architecture were identified: integration with nature, creation of adaptive spaces, multifunctionality and development of new functions. It is concluded that the building function played the most important role throughout the entire period of architecture formation, which led to the emergence of a huge variety of building types today and made a significant contribution to the development of architecture of the XXI century.

Choosing a programmable logic controller is one of the most important tasks when designing an automated system. The modern market offers many options, different in characteristics, which have different priorities for production. The paper proposes a method for evaluating the overall effectiveness of software logic controllers. When evaluating the selected characteristics, linear scaling and weight coefficients are introduced that take into account the importance of the parameter for the controller in question compared to others. The weight of the parameter in the calculation is set using a coefficient. The values of the weight coefficients may vary depending on the requirements of the technological process.

The article presents numerical modeling of flow dividers (separators) with different hole diameters (3.5 mm, 7.0 mm, 14.0 mm) to prevent cavitation damage. The hole diameters, number, and rows in the separators have equivalent significance, as they determine the distribution of local velocities and pressures in the flow. This minimizes the risk of vapor bubble formation and subsequent collapse, which can lead to erosion of metal surfaces. For clarity, the simulation results are presented in the form of pictures of the distribution of pressure and velocities in each of the separators with different diameters. In order to prevent cavitation, the authors have presented a design of a "short-stroke" valve in which it is allowed to use flow dividers with enlarged holes.

This paper considers the problem of task scheduling in manufacturing systems with multiple machines operating in parallel. Four approaches to solving this problem are proposed: pure Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), a hybrid MCDDQ agent combining reinforcement learning based on Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), an improved MCDDQ-SA agent integrating the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to improve the quality of solutions, and a greedy algorithm (Greedy). A model of the environment is developed that takes into account machine speeds and task durations. A comparative study of the effectiveness of methods based on the makespan (maximum completion time) and idle time metrics is conducted. The results demonstrate that MCDDQ-SA provides the best balance between scheduling quality and computational efficiency due to adaptive exploration of the solution space. Analytical tools for evaluating the dynamics of the algorithms are presented, which emphasizes their applicability to real manufacturing systems. The paper offers new perspectives for the application of hybrid methods in resource management problems.
