The paper considers a lightweight modified version of the YOLO-v5 neural network, which is used to recognize road scene objects in the task of controlling an unmanned vehicle. In the proposed model, the pooling layer is replaced by the ADown module in order to reduce the complexity of the model. The C2f module is added as a feature extraction module to improve accuracy by combining features. Experiments using snowy road scenes are presented and the effectiveness of the proposed model for object recognition is demonstrated.

Fe-doped AlN nanorods were studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy above the Fe K- and L2,3- edges. Theoretical simulations of the x-ray absorption spectra show that Fe atoms mainly substitute Al. A minor fraction of Fe interstitials or Fe-Al-N ternary alloy can be identified as well. Bader’s AIM analysis predicts that neutral substitutional FeAl defect is in 2+ charge state, though Al in pure AlN is in 3+ charge state.  Fe L2,3 absorption spectra and photoluminescence data indicate the coexistence of Fe2+/Fe3+ in AlN:Fe nanorods so different charge states of substitutional FeAl should co-exist.

With the use of pulsed laser deposition and carbothermal synthesis а photosensitive structure on the basis of the Schottky barrier Au/ZnO(nanorods)/ZnO(film)/ZnO(nanorods)/Au was obtained.

The arrays of ZnO nanorods were obtained on the sapphire substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition under the high pressure of argon. The conditions of synthesis were optimized, and their influence on the morphology of  ZnO nanostructures were revealed. It is shown that the concentration of oxygen vacancies in ZnO nanorods can be changed by regulation of the synthesis temperature from 850 to 915 °. This process can be controlled by the ratio of intensities of the photoluminescence emission in the visible and ultraviolet regions. So, it allows to create nanostructures for UV photodetectors or chemosensors depending on the temperature choice.

The authors suggest two approaches to constructing hypotheses about the interactions of proteins on the basis of the results of tracking the changes in their levels during the studied biological process. The first approach is based on the use of machine mining of biological texts, which are freely available on the Internet. The second is related to the execution of database queries on binary protein-protein interactions . To specify the experimental context in obtained protein networks, filtering of the protein entities on the basis of needed ontology from database Gene Ontology was used.

Recently, BiFeO3  multiferroics have drawn a great deal of attention due to their superior ferroelectric properties in epitaxial thin film form in comparison to counterpart bulk single crystals or ceramics. In this work we present the results on magnetic properties of multiferroic ultrathin films (30-300 nm) of BiFeO3, (BiLa)FeO3 and  (BiNd)FeO3  obtained by sputtering in transverse high frequency discharge, vacuum laser oblation and metalorganic chemical vapour deposition  on monocrystalline  substrates of (001) SrTiO3, (100) MgO and  (100) Al2O3. The concentration of Bi, La и Nd in dodecahedral sublattices was varied. A novel effect of treatment of multiferroic films in a negative corona discharge has been investigated. It is demonstrated that the magnetisation may be increased by up to 35%  whilst the change in    is not noticeable. This effect does not depend on neither film composition no technological method.

A design of the actuator, consisting of a thin layers of silicon dioxide and aluminum is proposed. There are calculations made of the response speed and heat dissipation of the actuator. By making the best selection of layer thicknesses and optimization stages of technological process, in particular the deep selective etching of silicon, the best performance on the angle of inclination of the actuator and the speed of the device could be achived. The greater the difference between the initial temperature and the heating temperature, the stronger the beam of the actuator is lowered to the plane of the silicon plate, and, therefore, less angle of elevation above the surface of the silicon plate. It is thus possible to control the angle of the beam by selecting the appropriate heater and voltage, providing the desired temperature. The design of the micromirror device based on the proposed actuator is provided. The developed design is based on the actuator and allows for controling the tilt of the mirror in a wide range.
