This article investigates the problem of structured data schema matching and aggregates the results from previous stages of the research. The systematization of results demonstrated that while the previously considered approaches show promising outcomes, their effectiveness is often insufficient for real-world application. One of the most effective methods was selected for further study. The Self-Organizing Map method was analyzed, which is based on a criterial analysis of the attribute composition of schemas, using an iterative approach to minimize the distance between points (in the current task, a point represents a schema attribute). An experiment on schema matching was conducted using five examples. The results revealed both the strengths and limitations of the method under investigation. It was found that the selected method exhibits insufficient robustness and reproducibility of results on diverse real-world datasets. The verification of the method confirmed the need for its further optimization. The conclusion outlines directions for future research in this field.

The article discusses the application of a systematic approach to the development and optimization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Traditional methods that focus on improving individual components (anode, cathode, and electrolyte) often do not lead to a proportional increase in the overall performance of the battery system. The systematic approach views LIBs as a complex, interconnected system where the properties of each component directly influence the behavior of others and the overall performance, including energy and power density, life cycle, safety, and cost. The work analyzes the key aspects of the approach: the interdependence between the main components of a lithium-ion battery, as well as the features of selecting materials for each component. It is proven that only a multidisciplinary approach that combines chemistry, materials science, and engineering can achieve a synergistic effect and create highly efficient, safe, and reliable battery systems for modern applications.

Choosing the best video compression method is becoming increasingly important as the volume of online video grows rapidly. By 2026, people are predicted to watch 82% more video online than in 2020. This means finding a balance between image quality, processing speed, and file size. To achieve the desired parameters, it's crucial to choose the right codec.
This paper compares five popular codecs—MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VP9, ​​MJPEG, and ProRes. Each codec offers its own unique method for compressing video, yielding different file sizes and image quality. The goal was to determine which codec is best suited for various applications: video calls, professional filming, and online broadcasts.
The experiments were conducted on a server with four processor cores, 8 GB of RAM, and an 80 GB SSD. Measurements were taken to determine the speed of each codec, the resulting file size, and the video quality. Based on the results of these tests, recommendations were made on which codec to choose and how it can be improved in different scenarios.

The practice of producing optical interference coatings shows that when using new thin-film materials, obtaining optical products with specified quality function requirements depends on the accuracy of their refractive index. The results of its evaluation on large frequency crystals differ, which does not allow narrowband filters with the required technical parameters. This article proposes an approach to estimating the parameters of the refractive index of a thin film based on solving the inverse synthesis problem, which is based on the experimental determination of the thickness of sprayed films using an X-ray fluorescence coating thickness analyzer and data on the reflection coefficient spectrum obtained using a broadband spectrophotometer. The numerical modeling carried out during the study showed that even if there are 5% tolerances for estimating the thickness of coatings, a fairly accurate determination of the refractive index can be expected. The correctness of the results of using this approach was verified by using a thin film with a known refractive index, which was also determined using the proposed method of numerical modeling of the reflection spectrum of the digital twin coating.

The problem of the ultimate external pressure on a thick-walled concrete pipe internally reinforced with a metal pipe is considered. The pipe material is assumed to be ductile, not hardening under small deformations. The problem is solved under the assumption of plane strain. The stress state in the concrete mass and along the contact surface between the metal pipe and the concrete is investigated, assuming the concrete is in the ultimate limit state. A law for the change in the stress state in the concrete mass and a transcendental equation for determining the ultimate pressure on the outer surface of the concrete shell are derived. The ultimate uniformly distributed load acting on the outer surface of the concrete shell, within which the metal pipe is placed, is determined.

An algorithm has been developed and a program has been compiled in the Python programming language for calculating numerical values of the optimal lagged filtering operator for an L-Markov process with quasi-rational spectral density, which is a generalization of the Markov process with a rational spectrum. The construction of an optimal delayed filtering operator is based on the spectral theory of random processes. The calculation formula of the filtration operator was obtained using the theory of L-Markov processes, methods for calculating stochastic integrals, the theory of functions of a complex variable, and methods of trigonometric regression. An example of an L-Markov process (signal) with a quasi-rational spectrum is considered, which is interesting from the point of view of controlling complex stochastic systems. The trigonometric model was used as the basis for constructing a mathematical model of the optimal delayed filtration operator. It is shown that the values of the delayed filtering operator are represented by a linear combination of the values of the received signal at certain time points and the values of the sinusoidal and cosine functions at the same time points. It is established that the numerical values of the filtering operator significantly depend on the parameter β of the joint spectral density of the received and transmitted signals, and therefore three different tasks of signal transmission through different physical media were considered in the work. It is established that the absolute value of the real part of the filtration operator at all three intervals of the delay period change and in all three media exceeds the absolute value of the imaginary part by an average of two or more times. Graphs of the dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the filtration operator on the delay period t are constructed, as well as three-dimensional graphs of the dependence of the filtration operator itself with a delay on the delay period. The physical justification of the obtained results is given.

A mathematical model has been constructed, an algorithm has been developed, and a program has been written in the Python programming language for calculating the numerical values of the optimal filtering operator with a forecast for an L-Markov process with a quasi-rational spectrum. The probabilistic model of the filtering operator formula has been obtained based on the spectral analysis of L-Markov processes using methods for calculating stochastic integrals, the theory of analytical functions of a complex variable, and methods for correlation and regression analysis. Considered an example of L-Markov process, the values of the optimal filtering operator with a forecast for which it was possible to express in the form of a linear combination of the values of the process at some moments of time and the sum of numerical values of cosines and sines at the same moments. The basis for obtaining the numerical values of the filtering operator was the mathematical model of trigonometric regression with 16 harmonics, which best approximates the process under study and has a minimum

The paper considers the synthesis of a non-stationary automatic control system for braking the wheels of a heavy vehicle using the generalized Galerkin method. The research method under consideration is used to solve the problem of synthesizing a non-stationary system whose desired program motion is specified at the output of a nonlinear element. The paper presents the results of studying the impact of non-stationarity on the parameters of the fixed part of the system (object) on the deterioration of the quality of the transient process. For critical operating conditions, the parameters of the controller were recalculated, and the results of accounting for non-stationarity and re-synthesis were evaluated.

The article proposes the development of a mathematical model that includes an integrated approach to modeling the interaction of surfaces, taking into account the geometric features of the groove. An important aspect of the novelty of the work is its validation based on experimental data. To describe the movement of the lubricant in the working gap, a model is used that describes the movement of a truly viscous lubricant, including the continuity equation. The calculations and experiments performed have confirmed the adequacy of the proposed model, which indicates the possibility of its practical application for engineering analysis and design. The results of this work made it possible to improve the understanding of the mechanism of movement of the lubricant in radial sliding bearings having a polymer coating with an axial groove on the shaft surface. Studies have also shown that the presence of a groove on the shaft surface affects the pressure distribution, which, in turn, affects the tribotechnical parameters of the bearing. The introduction of the groove helps to distribute the lubricant more efficiently over the working gap, increase the bearing capacity of the bearing, reduce the coefficient of friction and reduce wear on the contact surfaces.

This paper proposes a mathematical model of the laminar flow of a truly viscous lubricant in the clearance of a radial plain bearing with a nonstandard support profile. The influence of a fluoroplastic-containing polymer coating and a groove on the shaft surface is considered, taking into account nonlinear effects, which improves the accuracy of the description of hydrodynamic processes. Thin-film approximations and continuity equations are used to determine the hydrodynamic pressure, load capacity, and friction coefficient. A comparison with existing calculation models demonstrated improved performance prediction. The results demonstrate the feasibility of ensuring stable shaft floatation, confirming the applicability of the developed model for engineering calculations of bearings with a polymer coating and a groove.

This study's objective is to assess the extent to which Western architecture influences the design of hotel structures in post-colonial cities using Freetown as a case study. Using a qualitative approach, this study draws on historical records of post-colonial hotel buildings, interviews with architects, and employs a comparative case study to compare colonial hotel projects in Freetown. Most hotels built after colonization still maintained properties of Western influence. Some designs were transcended by architects, others by the owners of the projects themselves, asking architects to replicate the same designs they saw abroad.   Theoretically this study suggests and provides evidence of a borrowed model of architecture of hotels largely influenced by western architectural design styles for which this is not sustainable and Sierra Leone needs to find its own architectural language. This research adds to the cultural theory of transcending architecture, where hotels built in a post-colonial era still retain designs passed on from colonial masters. Not enough research has examined the postcolonial effects on the architecture of hotels in past colonized cities.
