To the attention of readers is submitted the detailed story about the project of young architects from Novocherkassk " The architectural and construction concept of the cable metro station in Rostov-on-Don". The basic idea of the project - a new decision of a transport problem of the connection of the right and left banks of the river Don - an air cable road. The air metro is ecologically clear, absolutely save (the high resistance to strong winds, and also the high degree of failure in any conditions) and the silent type of passenger transport. Two stations are suggested to Rostovites and guests of the city for comfort using: the multi-level parking and the shopping and entertainment centre on the right and left coasts respectively. This project solves a number of difficult tasks. First of all it combines the functionality and security and at the same time projected buildings completely accord to people's representation about the beauty and the comfort. The creation of the Cable Metro Station allows to solve the transport problem which is typical for big cities, and also it becomes a new sight of our city. Keywords: the transport problem, the cableway, the silent type of passenger transport, multi-level parking, shopping and entertainment centre, the combination of the functionality and security, the constructive scheme - the hard monolithic core, the individualization of the appearance, the unique architectural expressiveness.

Within the concept of sustainable development, special attention is paid to the environment. Of course, the key goal of sustainable development in the field of ecology is the stability of ecological and physical systems. Eliminating the needs of the environmental plan will lead to environmental degradation and jeopardize human interaction with nature. With sustainable development, many industries are changing. One of these industries is energy, the vector of which is changing in the direction of sustainable development of energy saving. Due to the high level of energy intensity of many sectors of the economy, there are problems of improving energy efficiency. It requires changes in the energy sector, such as the introduction of alternative energy sources. As an example, it is necessary to refer to the successful experience of implementation in European countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom. The experience of these countries shows that state support and private investment have a positive impact on the development of the industry, increasing the share of renewable energy in the country's energy structure. Projects are also being set up to promote alternative energy, such as the centre for renewable energy and sustainable technologies in Northern Ireland. Due to the relevance of the European experience, it is proposed to build a similar center in the Rostov region, taking into account local specifics.

During the year, depending on the latitude and climatic zone, the number of thunderstorms and their intensity vary greatly, these parameters decrease to the Northern latitudes due to a decrease in humidity and temperature and, accordingly, a decrease in the probability of forming conditions for the formation of convective and thunderstorm clouds. The article deals with the mechanisms of dangerous effects of lightning discharges. The electric parameters of the discharges for thunderstorm processes in the atmosphere were studied using data from the geophysical monitoring center of the FGIBU "VGI", which includes a network of sensors of the automatic thunder-gauge finder - the range finder LS8000. The results of the analysis of the recording of ground-discharge currents and the time of their growth obtained during the period of its operation are presented. The authors determined the statistical distributions of the lightning current amplitude. It is established that the discharge parameters in different regions differ and can change with time. This means that for the effective operation of lightning protection systems and the implementation of measures to ensure life safety during thunderstorms, it is necessary to monitor the lightning situation in each individual region.

The optoacoustic effect used for imaging can provide improved spatial resolution and temperature sensitivity compared to other methods of non-invasive cytometry, thermometry, used during thermal therapy for safe and effective diagnosis. However, the accuracy of the described optoacoustic methods is reduced due to biological variability and heterogeneous composition of tissues. Optoacoustic spectral analysis is used to assess the morphological changes of red blood cells (for example, size / shape).

The aim of this work is to estimate the density of the electron spectrum of objects with a dispersion bond, such as liquid helium, for example. The interest in its electronic properties is caused by the recently discovered dynamic polarization in the second sound wave, which made the study of its zone structure relevant. In this paper, the objects under study are modeled after born by a linear chain of coupled oscillators. The dispersion bond is considered on the basis of the quasi-classical London approximation, which takes into account the correlations of the oscillating dipole moments of atoms. The first part of the work is preparatory. A brief review of the new experimental data for helium II is given, and the problem statement is formulated. On simple examples (lines of two and three coupled oscillators) the research methodology is worked out. This section is of independent importance for rapid estimates of the density of the electron spectrum in dispersion coupling, and identifies trends in the change of spectrum parameters with an increase in the number of structural units. It is obtained, in particular, that the band width increases and the specific binding energy decreases slightly. In the second part, a long chain of coupled oscillators is investigated on the basis of the developed techniques. The density of the electron spectrum is calculated both for specific chains and in the thermodynamic limit. The results obtained in this work are planned to be used in the future for the development of dynamic polarization models for helium II

The article proposes a structural-functional model of a data storage system based on solid-state drives, implementing deduplication technology to optimize the use of disk space. The concept is based on systems approach. The functioning model is presented in the form of interaction between the control subject (the system administrator) and the control object (the storage system). The system is exposed to external stream of requests from user applications over the Internet. The output parameters of the system include such performance indicators as storage capacity, storage time, storage cost, performance and reliability. The data storage system is presented in the form of four main integrated components, sequentially connected with each other: Network Service; deduplication system based on VDO technology; write management system, software RAID Control System; array of SSD drives. While the flow of requests passes through the system, the delay at each component is determined by the appropriate mathematical model. Such a structural and functional representation of the system allows applying the methods of statistical modeling and queuing theory to its analysis. The use of the proposed model will allow to design a data storage system of the given volume and service life with a minimum storage cost for a consumer with given performance and reliability indicators.

Within the plane-stress state the problem of a high-speed rotating disk being under side pressure is considered. Within the model of a perfect rigid-plastic body and the Mises yield criterion the allowable boundaries of external parameters have been defined. Within the model of a perfect elasto-plastic solid and the Mises yield criterion the limit state of the disk has been considered. The displacements and the deformations are assumed to be negligible quantity; deformation plasticity theory is chosen. The problem of defining the stresses is ecstatically determined. The displacements are determined together with the stresses. In order to define the displacements as single-valued within the model of a perfect elasto-plastic solid when the disk is in the limit state it is chosen the condition that the plastic deformations inside the disk side surface are equal to zero. For the model of a perfect rigid-plastic body in order to define the displacements as single-valued the displacements values inside the side surface of the disk are needed to be determined. Plots of numerical calculations for the stresses, the deformations, the displacements and the stress vector hodograph have been introduced.

The paper considers the tortuosity of regular n-gons, fractals and the tortuosity of the boundaries of a rectangular trapezium. The tortuosity value ωn is obtained in the limiting case. For all the considered figures, the dependencies of the tortuosity values on the number of sides of the regular n-gon and on the nth iteration for the fractal in question were constructed. For the boundary of a rectangular trapezoid, we plotted the curves of the tortuosity border on the angular coefficient of the straight line y = px + q, which bounds the trapezoid under consideration. It is shown that with an increase in the number of iterations in each fractal, the value of tortuosity increases, and its limiting value tends to infinity.

As a result of these transformations, the system which contains differential and algebraic relations is reduced to a form of differential equations in the Cauchy form. This allows applying well-developed methods and algorithms for the numerical solution of differential equations in further researches.

We consider the problem of diagnosing breast cancer on the basis of combined thermometry. Diagnosis is carried out using two-dimensional generalized signs. Each such sign is formed on the basis of two one-dimensional. We propose an algorithm for the formation of sets of such features using tapering ellipses. On the basis of a set of such signs a classifier is built. By varying the semi-axes of the ellipses, the physician can control the sensitivity and specificity of the classifier. The doctor can fix the threshold value of specificity and achieve the maximum value of sensitivity. As a result of computational experiments, we built a family of 300 sets of two-dimensional signs and implemented a classifier customized by the doctor.
