The band formula for A.N. Krylov’s problem

A new formula for solving the Krylov problem on the basis of band matrices is proposed. Properties of the obtained formula are studied for problems of analysis and synthesis of linear controlled systems.     

Discrete geometry methods in processing complicated graphical information

The development of efficient techniques for converting information obtained from complicated graphical documents into a digital form is considered. It is shown that the use of discrete geometry methods make it possible to improve the efficiency of many technological stages. The work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project no. 00-15-96018 and by the Integration Foundation, project no. K-03392.     

Simultaneous mass and heat transfer under mixed convection along a vertical cone

Steady laminar binary mixed convection flow along a vertical circular cone under the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and species diffusion is studied analytically. The analysis is confined to mass diffusion processes with low concentration levels. In the analysis the surface of the cone is assumed to be at a uniform temperature and uniform concentration. Numerical results for the local Sherwood number, local Nusselt number and local friction factor are presented. Representative temperature, concentration and velocity profiles are also shown. The analysis covers the diffusion of common gases and vapours into air. Considerations are given to the situations where the buoyancy forces assist and oppose the forced convection flow for various possible combinations of the thermal and species diffusion processes.     

Intelligent non-linear modelling of an industrial winding process using recurrent local linear neuro-fuzzy networks

This study deals with the neuro-fuzzy (NF) modelling of a real industrial winding process in which the acquired NF model can be exploited to improve control performance and achieve a robust fault-tolerant system. A new simulator model is proposed for a winding process using non-linear identification based on a recurrent local linear neuro-fuzzy (RLLNF) network trained by local linear model tree (LOLIMOT), which is an incremental tree-based learning algorithm. The proposed NF models are compared with other known intelligent identifiers, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF). Comparison of our proposed non-linear models and associated models obtained through the least square error (LSE) technique (the optimal modelling method for linear systems) confirms that the winding process is a non-linear system. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed NF modelling approach.

Effect of polyvitamin preparations on blood coagulation in experimental hypercoagulation]

The influence of polyvitamin compounds on the course and outcome of experimental hypercoagulemia was studied. "Hendevitum", "Aerovitum" and "Undevitum" proved to be most effective in reducing negative results of thromboplastemia. "Glutamevitum" was insignificantly effective, while "Quadevitum" and "Complevitum" did not reduce animals' death rate after intravascular injection of thromboplastin in LD50. Positive effects of polyvitamin compounds might be associated with their capacity for stimulating anticoagulation potential, especially, in accelerated continuous intravascular blood coagulation.
