At present time, there are attempts to design and produce forest machines of highly-demanded classes in Russia. The paper evaluates the efficiency of forest machines under identical operating conditions. The analysis showed the possibility of using harvesters and forwarders of joint Belarusian and domestic production for logging works as an alternative to foreign forest machines. Evaluation of proposals revealed advanced Russian and Chinese models of forest machines. The research showed that in our country there are prerequisites for the development of forestry machine-building, while the main problem is the lack of production technologies for the manufacture of modern technological equipment and components. Under these conditions, the evolution of production on the national territory of forest machines and technological equipment without involving domestic or foreign capital and innovative technologies is a difficult task.

Co-branding contributes to the creation of more successful products. Purposeful formation of the image of an architectural object, that is, its brand, consists of three parts. Its creation involves the brand of the organization or organizations located in the building, the brand of the author or authors of the project, and the brand of the place. These three components can manifest themselves in different ways in an architectural object. Studying the issues of joint branding of architectural objects and understanding this process is important not only for architects and developers, but also for other professionals. The realization of the possibilities hidden in this area contributes to the creation of a holistic image of an architectural object.

The article outlines the features of the developed algorithm for controlling autonomous industrial forest management facilities under real operating conditions under the forest canopy. A significant challenge faced by the developers in the presented algorithm was the practical absence of global navigation in the areas of use of potential autonomous industrial forest management objects. Thus the only alternative was local positioning algorithms, which of the existing ones were also unserviceable under real forest canopy conditions. The problem was exacerbated by the high requirements for positioning accuracy not so much for autonomous objects as for positioning accuracy relative to the object of work of the contact elements of technological equipment directly implementing the operations of the industrial timber harvesting process. The developed concept of local positioning has no analogues in the world, belongs to the algorithms of the latest generation, created by the authors on the basis of mathematical modelling of the operations of industrial forestry process and implemented in registered software complexes to manage the information flows that ensure the sustainable functioning of autonomous objects of industrial forestry in real operating conditions.

This paper proposes an accurate and dynamic method for diagnosing of crop diseases. This method adopts Bayesian networks to represent the relationships among the symptoms and crop diseases. This method has one main difference from the existing diagnosis methods - it does not use all the symptoms in the diagnosis, but purposively selects a subset of symptoms which are the most relevant to diagnosis; the active symptom selection is based on the concept of a Markov blanket in a Bayesian network. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed method can significantly enhance the performance of crop disease diagnosis.

A model is proposed for selecting potentially interesting events for a person, in accordance with his requests and wishes, in order to achieve the goal of increasing the effectiveness of informing the population about cultural events of the city, and, as a result, improving the cultural level of society, Describes the implementation of the model in the form of a software product, which, with the help of intelligent data selection algorithms, allows you to simplify the process of searching for both potential cultural events that are interesting for a person, and new participants for their organizers. The criteria for selecting the event of interest and the process of selecting them in accordance with the degree of importance to the user are described. Formulas for calculating the final coefficients that serve as a numerical characteristic of the optimality of the event for a particular user are given. An example of the implementation of the proposed algorithm is given.

The stability of three-phase foams stabilized by particles and surfactants (surfactants) of various nature has been studied. The varying degree of hydrophobization of particles by short-chain surfactant hexylamine may be accompanied by a change in the properties of the dispersed system from high-strength and low-stability foams to structured low multiplicity. A decrease in the stability of foams stabilized by hydrophobized titanium oxide particles at a concentration of long-chain surfactant - cetylammonium bromide Cпав≥Сккм may be due to a decrease in the edge angle of wetting of solid particles.

The application of the gas-dynamic method with the use of nonlinear dynamics to the calculation of an underground structure built into the lower floor on the impact of an air shock wave is considered, taking into account the collapse of the above-ground part of the building. It is known that one of the impacts on built-in underground structures designed to protect the population and territory from natural and man-made emergencies is the impact of a possible collapse or blockage from a higher building when exposed to an air shock wave. This task is relevant because the current methods are based on linear static calculation methods and involve certain assumptions, including when calculating for collapse, and all this can lead to difficult to estimate errors in the calculation results. Therefore, when solving these problems, which are highly non-linear and the processes under consideration themselves are fast, it is necessary to consider the use of more adequate and accurate methods based on more rigorous formulations, which is the gas-dynamic method using nonlinear dynamics.

Today, the Russian Federation is among the three leaders in oil production among all countries of the world. This mineral makes up the bulk of our country's exports. The main part of the reserves of "black gold" in our country is concentrated in regions with special climatic and geological conditions (areas of permafrost and seismic activity). This article discusses measures to protect structures from seismic impacts.

Currently, the processes of designing buildings and structures are becoming more costly, as they require the involvement of more specialists, material and technical resources and a reduction in the calendar time of work. At the same time, the customer of the project requires optimization of design solutions in order to preserve the quality of the work carried out. In this regard, there is a need to develop a special design methodology, based on which it is recommended to use the principles of "lean construction", which can reduce the Customer's losses during project development.

The article describes four developed designs of samples of joints of solid wood elements on aluminum linings. They made it possible to simulate the operation of real connections of the main and secondary beams, as well as crossbars and columns. Tests of connection samples were carried out, one of the four developed variants of sample designs was selected that most fully reflects the actual work of real joints of wooden elements. The strength and deformation characteristics of the joint, the upper boundary of the elastic work area (VGOUR) of the joint are determined. Based on the conducted research, the peculiarities of the work of the studied compounds were determined, a sample of the connection of a wooden element with a metal overlay was developed, which allowed the development of measures aimed at increasing the bearing capacity and reducing the deformability of the studied compounds without significant material costs associated with the purchase of expensive SHERPA linings.

The topic of balancing on the brink is extremely relevant under present conditions of the real threat of nuclear war. A game-theoretic model is presented that describes the process of brinkmanship using the Caribbean crisis as an example. The results of research on such models and, accordingly, recommendations for decision makers depend significantly on the specific numerical values ​​of the players' payoffs and the probabilities of certain events. Therefore, it is advisable to develop a software package that allows you to set different values ​​of these parameters and conduct simulations for various control scenarios. The article proposes a program for implementing this approach.
