AbstractAstronomical education is entering a new stage of development which is closely connected with the development of new technologies for communication, computing and data visualization. We discuss this evolution in the context of astronomy education in Armenia. As students spend only a short time in Byurakan Observatory for training in observations, they are not able to carry out systematic astronomical observations. Hence their training places emphasis on the use of astronomical archives and analysis of observational data obtained previously with the Byurakan telescopes and other ground-based and space telescopes. Thus, one of the aims of the Armenian Virtual Observatory is to support the training of students in this modern context.

Abstract Currently, production and exploration drilling has entered a stage of development where one of the highest priority goals is to reduce the time for well construction with new technologies and innovations. One of the key components in this aspect is the utilizing of the latest achievements in the design and manufacture of rock cutting tools – drill bits. This article presents some new ideas on methods for identifying different types of vibrations when drilling with PDC bits using a system of sensors installed directly into the bit itself. In the oil and gas fields of Eastern Siberia, one of the main reasons for ineffective drilling with PDC bits are vibrations, which lead to premature wear of the cutting structure of the bit and the achievement of low ROPs in the dolomite and dolerite intervals. For efficient drilling of wells of various trajectories with a bottom hole assembly (BHA), including a downhole motor (PDM) and a PDC bit, special attention is paid to control of the bit by limiting the depth of cut, as well as the level of vibrations that occur during drilling process. Often, the existing complex of surface and BHA equipment fails to identify vibrations that occur directly on the bit, as well as to establish the true cause of their occurrence. Therefore, as an innovative solution to this problem, a system of sensors installed directly into the bit itself is proposed. The use of such a system makes it possible to determine the drilling parameters, differentiated depending on the lithological properties of rocks, leading to an increase in vibration impact. Together with the Operators, tests have been successfully carried out, which have proven the effectiveness of the application of this technology. The data obtained during the field tests made it possible to determine the type and source of vibration very accurately during drilling. In turn, this made it possible to precisely adjust the drilling parameters according to the drilled rocks, to draw up a detailed road map of effective drilling in a specific interval. Correction of drilling parameters based on the analysis of data obtained from sensors installed in the bit made it possible to reduce the resulting wear of the PDC bit cutting structure and, if necessary, make changes to the bit design to improve the technical and economic indicators. Thus, the use of a system of sensors for measuring the drilling parameters in a bit ensured the dynamic stability of the entire BHA at the bottomhole when drilling in rocks of different hardness, significantly reduced the wear of the drilling tools and qualitatively improved the drilling performance.

The technology has now ventured into multiple educational environments. The case of augmented reality has served to create new digital environments of search that help the location of any physical reference in a public library. In these educational spaces, it is important to have information resources that are innovative and, simultaneously, which motivate the users to enter them. For physical learning resources, these informative tools must provide a fast and efficient inquiry/location. Augmented reality helps this location by showing, through digital content, the three-dimensional space (3D) of that location, highlighting categories and classifications of physical references so that, in turn, the user able to visualize it, using a mobile device, and is therefore directed to the exact place of the location in a relatively short time. Thus, this study shows that the application of new technologies in a public library can make the user feel immersed in a new learning environment, which is transmitted through a digital environment through augmented reality.

Airlines need to continuously extend and modernise their fleets, to keep up with the challenges of air-travel growth, competition, green, safe and secure operations, and growing passenger demands. As a result, the aircraft industry and its supply chain have to manage the growing needs for cost-efficient and complex aircraft in increasingly shorter time. Meanwhile they face their own challenges, such as certification and global competition. Quick evaluation of promising new technologies and concepts facilitates a short time to market. However, the required innovations are costly and risky, and require involvement of many experts from different disciplines and partners. Increasing the level of collaboration within the aircraft industry and its supply chain will be an essential step forward to deal with the challenges. Developing modern aircraft in an increasingly cost and time efficient manner in a collaborative set-up however requires step changes. The EU-funded Horizon2020 project AGILE has developed methods and tools for efficient and cross-organisation collaborative aircraft design, facilitating the rapid evaluation of new technologies and concepts at the early stages of aircraft development. This paper describes the capabilities and illustrates the successful integrated application of the capabilities by means of a collaborative aircraft rudder design evaluation.

Awareness Context

Automobiles for our roadways are increasingly using advanced driver assistance systems. The adoption of such new technologies requires us to develop novel perception systems not only for accurately understanding the situational context of these vehicles, but also to infer the driver’s awareness in differentiating between safe and critical situations. This manuscript focuses on the specific problem of inferring driver awareness in the context of attention analysis and hazardous incident activity. Even after the development of wearable and compact multi-modal bio-sensing systems in recent years, their application in driver awareness context has been scarcely explored. The capability of simultaneously recording different kinds of bio-sensing data in addition to traditionally employed computer vision systems provides exciting opportunities to explore the limitations of these sensor modalities. In this work, we explore the applications of three different bio-sensing modalities namely electroencephalogram (EEG), photoplethysmogram (PPG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) along with a camera-based vision system in driver awareness context. We assess the information from these sensors independently and together using both signal processing- and deep learning-based tools. We show that our methods outperform previously reported studies to classify driver attention and detecting hazardous/non-hazardous situations for short time scales of two seconds. We use EEG and vision data for high resolution temporal classification (two seconds) while additionally also employing PPG and GSR over longer time periods. We evaluate our methods by collecting user data on twelve subjects for two real-world driving datasets among which one is publicly available (KITTI dataset) while the other was collected by us (LISA dataset) with the vehicle being driven in an autonomous mode. This work presents an exhaustive evaluation of multiple sensor modalities on two different datasets for attention monitoring and hazardous events classification.

Abstract   At the present stage of development of any state, an important aspect of occupational health and public health is undoubtedly the protection of workers' health. In view of this, we have developed an automated system and algorithm for the approach to assessing professional risks. It is proposed to implement a campaign to manage occupational health risks for workers through the automated system “Software complex for monitoring and managing occupational health risks for workers at an industrial enterprise” developed in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This complex performs the necessary actions to create the foundations for making management decisions, it consists of the following components, which were analyzed and used at the industrial enterprise Joint Stock Company ‘Kostanay Minerals' in the Republic of Kazakhstan: 1) analysis of current information based on the definition and systematization of the information bases of the enterprise. Such databases include data on employees, working conditions, cases of injuries, morbidity, medical examinations, occupational morbidity and personal protective equipment; 2) the analytical component, carried out on the basis of statistical data, mathematical methods of information processing, conducts an analysis of professional risk both for each worker and for each enterprise. The analysis of the data is presented by the system in the form of reports received by the interested person of the enterprise by specifying a sample of data in any form, with the specification of the conditions for sampling from the stored data in the database of the automated system. The developed and implemented approach to occupational risk management is aimed at the practical implementation of a comprehensive risk assessment at workplaces, allowing not only to identify risks, but also to manage them during the work shift, throughout the entire work experience, which is the basis for ensuring the safety and health of industrial workers. Key messages The introduction of new technologies in industry will lead to a sharp decrease in the intensity of production factors and occupational pathology and to conduct a correct assessment of health risks. Professional risk monitoring consists in informing employees, employers, the public, administrative authorities about the risk factors at work and the necessary and applied measures to reduce it.

Language is the cornerstone of communication and can be conveyed in many forms.  One such form is composition or song.  There are many indigenous compositions that provide a backdrop reflecting the landscape, events and relationships that were integral to and impacted on the life of the composer and their communities. As a research subject, compositions from the early nineteenth century provide a template with which to analyse the language used and its relevance in today’s environment.  Written languages change with the introduction of new technologies and environments. Compositions such as laments have stayed intact as part of an oral tradition.  This research aims to examine whether the written history and poetic prose of the words within compositions has also stayed intact and been maintained. Specific words will be analysed in relation to their usage within both a traditional and modern context.

AbstractEDISON is a large-aperture telescope under study for the second generation of infrared space observatories, whether in orbit or on the moon. The optics equilibrate via radiative cooling to temperatures between 40 and 80 K, depending upon, for example, telescope structure and location. At these temperatures, telescope emission is below that of the astronomical background at all wavelengths shortward of 20-40 μm. The detector components can be cooled via mechanical refrigerators now in an advanced stage of development. A mixture of radiative and mechanical cooling means that there is no natural limit to EDISON’s lifetime. In addition, the upper stage rocket fairing can be almost filled with light-collecting optics and alternative low-emissivity optical designs, such as off-axis systems, can be easily engineered. We are presently evaluating a design for a 2.5 m observatory to be launched in collaboration with European astronomers as part of the NASA Explorer program. In this presentation, we describe possible spectroscopic and spectrophotometric studies of very faint infrared sources that will require large-aperture space telescopes working at the celestial background limit.
