Based on the analysis of scientific data, the influence of the kinematics and geometry of the bit profile reinforced with diamond cutting elements on the process of directional drilling is investigated and technological problems affecting its effectiveness are highlighted. Optimal configurations for cutting elements have been developed. The geometric parameters of the front angle-β and the cutting angle-δ have been established, ensuring the destruction of the rock with the least effort. The rational location of the cutting elements on the side and working surfaces of the bit is substantiated. The expected result is an increase in the mechanical speed of penetration and an extension of the tool life.

The purpose of this work is to study the applicability of the U-Net architecture for automatically determining the contours of natural skins using the TensorFlow and Keras libraries in Python. A software application has been developed based on methods including OpenCV libraries, as well as a model for implementing a deep convolutional neural network. The dataset for training and testing the network was created using augmentation. Training was carried out using the stochastic gradient descent method after splitting the data sample into training and test images. In the future, the results obtained will be used to create an automated system that will make it possible to determine the contours of the skin and its defects, which in turn will open up the possibility of calculating the useful area of ​​the skin and creating an automated layout of patterns taking into account the identified defects.

The proposed work considers two types of neural network models for describing fire risks depending on the size of the population and preventive measures. Neural network models make it possible to consider fire risks integrally, taking into account the type of municipality or separately for each of the three existing types. Based on these models, a response surface for fire risks - population and prevention has been implemented, which allows you to assess the magnitude of risks based on input data to optimize decisions made. For a given value of the standard risk, the dependence of optimal prevention was obtained depending on the number of deposits in the municipality, which makes it possible to guarantee fire risks less than or equal to the standard indicators. The article analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of preventive measures using neural networks. The input data for training the neural network includes fire data collected in Vietnam and Russia (population, number of fires, number of deaths, number of preventive measures). Based on these indicators, the effectiveness of preventive measures is predicted. Based on the forecasting results, decisions can be made to ensure fire safety in the state. The results obtained indicate the possibility of predicting the absolute value of the effectiveness of preventive work based on quantitative and categorical variables. A relatively large forecast error is associated, on the one hand, with the need to take into account a larger number of input parameters, and on the other hand, with the need to increase the size of the neural network training base. After refining the model, the results obtained allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures for provinces and cities.

The public education project ""Dream School"", implemented in support of the federal school overhaul program, attracts students of architectural and design schools in the regions, which will allow them to simultaneously acquire applied competencies in the learning process. During the development of the design project, the need for specialists to conduct a preliminary design analysis was revealed, since one of the five schools did not meet the standards in terms of their spatial planning parameters. It is proposed to carry out the reconstruction of this educational institution. The premises of the dining room and the assembly hall are transferred to the annex block.

The article contains the methodology and results of theoretical and experimental studies of the stress-strain state of a conical radial-beam dome with triangular shell elements. The results obtained by various methods are analyzed and compared. The triangular membrane panel is part of the radial beam dome structure and consists of a support frame and a steel membrane in the shape of a triangle. The shape of the triangle forming the membrane panel can be different and depends on the number of ribs in the radial beam dome. The supporting contour is a compressed-bending element of the dome and is made, as a rule, from a rolled steel profile with a channel section. The membrane is made of thin steel sheet and attached to the upper flange of the channel with self-tapping screws or spot welding. To assess the strength and deformability of a steel membrane sheet, its operation under the action of a uniformly distributed snow load, an unevenly distributed snow load and a concentrated installation load was considered. Several options for nonlinear static calculations in various computer systems are shown.

The features of the (m,m) implementation scheme of visual cryptography are considered, which differs from the existing ones by the formation of shadow images (shares) of an image containing a secret. The proposed approach is based not on the decomposition of the secret image into shares, but on their step-by-step transformation by multiplication by orthogonal Hadamard matrices. The images obtained during each transformation of the stock are noise-resistant in the data transmission channel.
