The paper focuses on energy efficient reconstruction of construction systems by means of their upward extension using modular spatial structures. It is further noted that the existing contradictory definition of the term “modular structures” necessitates classifying modular structural elements by spatial dimension, type and size, weight, degree of prefabrication, constructability and environmental safety. A list of the world’s leading manufacturers is provided featuring modular spatial structures to be used in the construction of new buildings and reconstruction of existing buildings. Also, the paper underlines the importance of using added stories in making modular roof structures of lightweight metallic structures (LMS) and lightweight thin-wall steel structures (LTSS) and provides an overview of the main types of modules, pointing out the key benefits of modular structures.

A method for the intellectualization of measurement procedures has been developed. It is based on the step-by-step optimization procedure, which provides a reduction of the stochastic estimation problem to a number of deterministic problems. The task of the first stage of optimization is the synthesis of an adaptive mathematical model of the measuring process based on the combined principle of maximum, which, unlike the known methods, will ensure the constructiveness of its use in the next stages of optimization. The task of the subsequent stages of optimization is to solve the estimation problem based on the regularization method A.N. Tikhonov. Equations of an iterative measurement procedure are obtained that differ from the state transition vector functions known in structure. It belongs to the category of intelligent measuring procedures, since it makes a targeted choice of the closest to the true value of the assessment of the measured parameter in the conditions of structural uncertainty of the model of the studied object and parametric uncertainty of the observation model.

Phantoms are an imitation of biological tissue. With the help of phantoms, it is possible to simulate the propagation of light in biological tissue. During any biophysical experiments there is a need for the constancy of the initial conditions of the experiment. The use of solid phantoms that do not degrade over time and under the influence of external factors is the Foundation for reliable results and repeatability of the experiment. The creation of phantoms of biological tissue containing fluorescent nanoparticles or nanoparticles with high absorption, and which correspond to specific mechanical or optical properties, is an urgent task. The paper describes the development, fabrication and characterization of solid tissue phantoms containing gold and upconversion nanoparticles. Optical and mechanical properties of phantoms are studied. The temperature range suitable for the use of samples as phantoms of biological tissue for laser thermolysis problems was revealed.

The paper presents an analytical description of the unfolding surface of one of the products of light industry – aerodynamic shape. All surface elements are designed in the Maple environment based on the 4GL package commands. A set of commands allowing to describe surfaces and spatial curves analytically is proposed for the construction of 3D graphical objects. Elements sweep aerodynamic shape are conical and cylindrical sweep with a special character of their boundaries. The proposed description of the surface of the air shape allows you to design a technical product of specified geometric dimensions according to the calculated geometry of the elements of the air shape.

The main features of the technology of continuous basalt fiber production at the «NPO Vulkan» (LLC, Perm, Russia) are given. As raw materials the study has been used CEM I 42,5 N (activity 45,1 MPa), natural sand with a fineness modulus of 2.3, gravel of dense gabbro-igneous rocks (size up to 20 mm), basalt fiber length of 6 mm and diameter 11 microns production "NPO Vulcan" (LLC, Perm, Russia). The results of determining the ultimate strength in compression and bending of fine-grained and heavy concrete without the addition of basalt fiber (control composition) and with the addition of fiber 0.1-0.9% by weight of cement are described. It is shown that the optimal limits of the introduction of fiber into the mixture of sand concrete can be considered 0.1-0.2% by weight of cement, which leads to an increase in compressive strength up to 70% and bending strength up to 35%. A further increase in the fiber content to 0.9% leads to a decrease in compressive strength to 27% compared to the control values.

Innovative organizations have begun to use fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for healthcare delivery since they can fly faster and provide a proper solution in locations with difficult access or unsafe to human life. Moreover, they assure greater utility and better cost effectiveness than manned aircraft. However, the wind affects both the longitudinal and the lateral variables of the fixed-wing UAV contributing to its nonlinear and due to such external disturbances the UAV can fail its mission. Therefore, this review paper discusses on effects of wind disturbances on navigation of fixed-wing UAV. Full nonlinear equations of motion by including the effects of the wind on the fixed-wing UAV performance are developed. Also an overview of different approaches is presented.

The composition of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete using Portland cement, stone crushing waste, volcanic ash and basalt fiber are considered. It was revealed that with an increase in the ash content in cement, the compressive and flexural strength of fine-grained concrete decreases, and the water absorption increases. Without a significant reduction in the properties of fine concrete, you can enter no more than 10% of volcanic ash.It has been established that with an increase in the content of large fractions of aggregate, the compressive and flexural strength of fine-grained concrete increases as a result of a more compact arrangement of sand grains. The increase in the content of fine sand fractions reduces the strength characteristics of concrete, and increases water absorption. The dependence of the properties of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete on the method of mixing the mixture and molding products
