The article discusses issues related to the development of the optimal structure of neural networks. One of the major problems in the synthesis neural conrollers is ensuring optimal number of neurons and connections between layers  in the network. Necessary to achieve a compromise between the representational network capabilities, and memory that will be required to store it. The article presents a number of heuristics, allowing to reach such a compromise by limiting the number of connections for each neuron.
This is done through the introduction of two characteristics for the neuron: the radius of the coverage and density of connections. Coverage radius determines the number of neurons that could potentially have a connection to this neuron, and the density of the compound gives the actual number of such compounds. Altogether, these characteristics determine the amount of synaptic connections, which can have a neuron. The article presents the heuristics that allow to define these characteristics depending on the network structure.

Use nonconventional and renewables has important economic value for energy saving. Lamellar recuperators are applied to a reuse of heat of departing air in system of ventilation of buildings. Its functional mathematical model is developed for increase of energy efficiency and optimization of parameters of work of a lamellar recuperator. On the basis of mathematical model the criterion of optimization is defined and optimum modes of functioning of a recuperator of ventilating air are established. As a result of researches it is established that the heating of external air is necessary for increase of overall performance of a recuperator before an entrance to a recuperator. For the solution of this task it is offered to use soil the heat exchanger.

Nonstoichiometric tungsten oxides WO3–x and oxide alkaline tungsten bronzes have been studied because of their potential applications in electrochromic devices such as solar panel arrays and “smart windows”. Different phases of 
WO3–x have been considered. In this part we present results of our research which clearly show that all Magneli phases of tungsten oxides  WOx (namely W40O118, W20O58, W5O14, W18O49, W8O23, W3O8) and oxide tungsten bronzes MxMyWO3 at M-Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. They are characterized by metal – like properties. Their band structures display an energy gap in the valence band just below the Fermi level.
We present results of our electrochemical synthesis of tungsten oxide bronzes in ionic melts of the polytungsten salts. Among the new state – of – the art methods for their manufacture, electrochemical synthesis in ionic melts, which  makes considerably better use of existing technologies, is highly productive, based on the discharge of oxyanions of the polytungstates.

A stability problem of milling process is under consideration. A novel analytical tool is presented to assess the optimal cutting parameters which provide a chatter free machining. Chatter instability is broadly studied in the literature. However, the problem of simultaneous optimization of radial and axial depths of cut is kept out of scope. To describe the optimization method a single-degree-of-freedom model of milling process is investigated as well as corresponding equation of motion and function of cutting force. A unified delay-differential equation is proposed. A theorem of asymptotic stability is suggested. Suggested optimization technique allows to create a diagram of radial and axial depth-of-cut dependence.  As shown, there exists an extremum of function of axial and radial depth-of-cut dependence.

The article explores the main types of organization of the corporation and management in Russia. The corporation is defined as a special organizational and economic form of business. There we identified problems, specific, prospects for the formation and development. It was investigated the features and structure of corporations , as a result of its membership of the integration processes . It was measured the economic and financial management aspects, which may be useful in the development and investment attractiveness of the corporation. The Corporation is a more complex business structure. Corporations  have certain rights, privileges, and liabilities beyond those of an individual. Doing business as a corporation may yield tax or financial benefits, but these can be offset by other considerations, such as increased licensing fees or decreased personal control. Corporations may be formed for profit or nonprofit purposes. The author gives the aspects of each formation.

Currently, more than 80% of water conveyance structures worked much the normative life. At the same time there is a simultaneous increase in the load on the aging waterworks, in the absence of the necessary skilled personnel and technical repair base will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of accidents due to operational reasons. Identification of factors that influence the condition of the facilities at the intersections , the search for methods of calculation and control of non-destructive methods to evaluate their work , life extension , etc. is of paramount importance at this stage. Residual life for the safe operation of water conveyance structures determined on the basis of system analysis with the development of the block diagram of a dynamic system having a number of subsystems. The main property that determines the life of the system , is the reliability of its elements , ie reliability and trouble-free operation for a certain period of operation. Dependability and reliability of the system as a whole is determined by the condition that each element of the system can be in one of two states - serviceable or failure.
