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 paper is devoted to the construction of a visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using both binocular cameras and inertial sensors as an information source, which would be able to simultaneously determine the vehicle's own position and the relative position of other road users. To ensure accurate and continuous localization, it is proposed to use an inertial navigation system and two types of image keypoints. Deep learning models are used to accurately and reliably track keypoints. To achieve efficient and reliable matching of objects between two frames, a multi-level data association mechanism is proposed that takes into account possible errors of various system components. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and application potential of the proposed system.

This paper is devoted to the construction of a robust visual-inertial odometry system for an unmanned vehicle using binocular cameras and inertial sensors as information sources.The system is based on a modified structure of the VINS-FUSION system. Two types of feature points and matching methods are used to better balance the quantity and quality of tracking points. To filter out incorrect matches of key points, it is proposed to use several different methods. Semantic and geometric information are combined to quickly remove dynamic objects. Keypoints of static objects are used to complement the tracking points. A multi-layer optimization mechanism is proposed to fully utilize all point matchings and improve the accuracy of motion estimation. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.

The purpose of the article: to determine the possibility of using file hash analysis using artificial neural networks to detect exploits in files. Research method: the search for exploits in files is carried out based on the analysis of Windows registry file hashes obtained by two hashing algorithms SHA-256 and SHA-512, using three types of artificial neural networks (direct propagation, recurrent, convolutional). The obtained result: the use of artificial neural networks in file hash analysis allows us to identify exploits or malicious records in files; the performance (accuracy) of artificial neural networks of direct propagation and with recurrent architecture are comparable to each other and are much more productive than convolutional neural networks; the longer the length of the file hash, the more reliably it is to identify an exploit in the file

This paper provides a survey of metrics used to assess the quality of images generated by generative models. Specialized metrics are required to objectively evaluate image quality. A comparative analysis showed that a combination of different metrics is necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of generation quality. Perceptual metrics are effective for assessing image quality from the perspective of machine systems, while metrics evaluating structure and details are useful for analyzing human perception. Text-based metrics allow for the assessment of image-text alignment but cannot replace metrics focused on visual or structural evaluation. The results of this study will be beneficial for specialists in machine learning and computer vision, as well as contribute to the improvement of generative algorithms and the expansion of diffusion model applications.

The article considers the assessment of the suitability of solar radiation data from ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis for forecasting problems in the northern territories. The experimental site of the Mukhrino station (Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug), equipped with an autonomous power supply system, was chosen as the object of analysis. A statistical analysis of the annual array of global horizontal insolation data obtained using the PVGIS platform has been carried out. Seasonal and diurnal features of changes in insolation are considered, distribution profiles are constructed, and emissions are estimated using the interquartile range method. It is established that the data are characterized by high variability and the presence of a large number of zero values due to polar nights and weather conditions. The identified features must be taken into account when building short-term forecasting models. The conclusion is made about the acceptable quality of ERA5 data for use in forecasting energy generation and consumption in heating systems.

The article is devoted to the method of calculating the effective frequency of the load impulse FWD, which allows establishing a correspondence between the laboratory-determined viscoelastic characteristics of asphalt concrete layers included in the road pavement and the modulus of elasticity calculated by backcalculation based on the deflection bowl determined in field tests using FWD. The article proposes an algorithm for finding this frequency, presents the results of its calculations, and compares the elastic moduli obtained in the laboratory and by the results of the backcalculation. The conducted numerical experiment confirms that for the deflection cups generated within the viscoelastic calculation model, the difference in modules does not exceed 8%. At the end of the work, ways are proposed for the practical application of the calculated parameter and further improvement of the method on real deflection bowl obtained on road pavements.

The results of studies of the strength properties of plaster solutions with vermiculite on a mixed binder using a multifunctional additive D-5 are presented. A slight acceleration of the setting time of solutions with a multifunctional additive D-5 was found, while the bending and compressive strengths of the solutions did not change significantly after 2 hours and 28 days. Replacing part of the expanded vermiculite fraction 0 – 0.315 mm with volcanic pumice fraction 0 – 0.315 mm in the construction mortar allows to significantly increase their strength characteristics and reduce the cost without a noticeable increase in density. Expressions of the dependence of the compressive strength of the mortars on the calculated total porosity are obtained.
