Introduction: Successful monitoring of environmental parameters requires the development of flexible software complexes with evolvable calculation functionality. Purpose: Developing a modular system for numerical simulation of atmospheric laser gas analysis. Results: Based on differential absorption method, a software system has been developed which provides the calculation of molecular absorption cross-sections, molecular absorption coefficients, atmospheric transmission spectra, and lidar signals. Absorption line contours are calculated using the Voigt profile. The prior information sources are HITRAN spectroscopic databases and statistical models of the distribution of temperature, pressure and gas components in the atmosphere. For modeling lidar signals, software blocks of calculating the molecular scattering coefficient and aerosol absorption/scattering coefficients were developed. For testing the applicability of various laser sources in the problems of environmental monitoring of the atmosphere, a concentration reconstruction error calculation block was developed for the atmospheric gas components, ignoring the interfering absorption of laser radiation by foreign gases. To verify the correct functioning of the software, a program block was developed for comparing the results of the modeling of atmospheric absorption and transmission spectra by using the standard SPECTRA information system. The discrepancy between the calculation of the atmospheric transmission spectra obtained using the developed system as compared to the SPECTRA results is less than 1%. Thus, a set of the presented program blocks allows you to carry out complex modeling of remote atmospheric gas analysis. Practical relevance: The software complex allows you to rapidly assess the possibilities of using a wide range of laser radiation sources for the problems of remote gas analysis.

Для улучшения технологии проведения лесосечных работ и повышения экономической эффективности лесопромышленного комплекса предлагается провести ряд важных технических и технологических изменений. Одним из решений проблемы по улучшению эффективности работы является разработка и внедрение комплекса лесных машин, основанного на принципе эксплуатационной модульности. Это будет гарантировать технологическую гибкость производства, предоставит высокую производительность и обеспечит совместимость с окружающей средой. Приведен принцип устройства машин модульно-блочного типа с разделением функций между транспортными и технологическими модулями. Представлены графически классификация модулей по их назначению и концепция компоновки системы машин модульно-блочного типа, а также главный модуль (энергетический) и несколько технологических модулей, способных выполнять различные технологические операции в зависимости от условий и технологии производства. Как показал анализ рынка, наиболее перспективным направлением по улучшению механизации лесного парка машин является создание комплекса модульно-блочных машин на базе колесного трактора, оснащенных гидрообъемными передачами.

Принцип формирования и работы модульной системы машин с многофункциональным технологическим оборудованием рассматривается в качестве перспективного направления по улучшению лесозаготовительного процесса. The article deals with the prospects for the use of machines modular block type in the advanced technology logging activities, as well as the machinery problems of logging enterprises in Russia. The research objective. The study of the structure and operating characteristics of a system of forest modular block type machines in current conditions with the prospect of their application in the nearest future. It is necessary that a number of important technical and technological changes should be made to improve the technology of logging operations and increase the economic efficiency of timber industry complex. One of the solutions to improve work efficiency is the development and introduction of forest machines based on the principle of operational modularity. It will ensure the flexibility of the production process, provide high work efficiency and, what counts, will be environmentally friendly. The article gives the description of the principle of the machine module block type, as well as the functions and how they are divided between the two modules. There are two pictures in the article. The first picture gives the classification of modules according to their application. The second picture shows the principle of arrangement of modular machine-block type. Both the main energetic module and some technological modules capable of performing processing steps depending on the conditions and production technology are presented. According to the market analysis that shows that the most promising direction to improve the mechanization of forest machinery is to create a complex modular block machines on the base of a wheeled tractor equipped with hydrostatic transmission. It will make the machine design more flexible and mobile. The principle of formation and operation of the modular system with multi-function machines process equipment is considered as a promising direction for improvement of the process of logging.

The Impact

AbstractThe paper studies what kind of support could be applied to the management of partly configurable modular systems. The main tasks of product management, product portfolio management and product variety management are defined. In addition, a partly configurable product structure and modular system are defined. Because the limited support in the literature for managing partly configurable modular systems, the article reviews previous product development cases in which authors have been involved on lessons learnt basis, i.e., if the methods and tools used in the cases could provide support for the research objective. As a result, the existing definition of the modular system should be extended by the concepts of non-module and design decision sequence description when dealing with partly configurable modular systems. This is because engineer-to-order should be made possible in cases where it brings clear added value to the customer compared to completely pre-defined solutions that may limit the customer's interest in the offering. Tools to assess the impact of changes to the product offering are required. These should be taken into account in frameworks that are used in method and tool development.

Different Levels

AbstractThis paper considers the orientation of product development structures towards interdisciplinary system architectures using the example of a tool machine manufacturer. Due to the change from simple mechanical products to extensively designed systems, whose successful development requires the integration of all disciplines involved, it is analyzed which requirements there are for these interdisciplinary system architectures in today's development environment. In addition, it is validated on the basis of the investigation environment that interdisciplinary system structures are necessary for the development on the different levels of the system view. In doing so, the investigation environment addresses the concept of extracting customer-relevant features (systems) from a physical-tailored modular system (supersystem) in order to develop and test them autonomously, as well as to transfer them to the entire product range in a standardized manner. The elaboration identifies basic requirements for the development of a knowledge base in interdisciplinary system structures and places them into the context of an agile modular kit development.

Abstract Motivated by the effectiveness of correlation attacks against Tor, the censorship arms race, and observations of malicious relays in Tor, we propose that Tor users capture their trust in network elements using probability distributions over the sets of elements observed by network adversaries. We present a modular system that allows users to efficiently and conveniently create such distributions and use them to improve their security. To illustrate this system, we present two novel types of adversaries. First, we study a powerful, pervasive adversary that can compromise an unknown number of Autonomous System organizations, Internet Exchange Point organizations, and Tor relay families. Second, we initiate the study of how an adversary might use Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) to enact surveillance. As part of this, we identify submarine cables as a potential subject of trust and incorporate data about these into our MLAT analysis by using them as a proxy for adversary power. Finally, we present preliminary experimental results that show the potential for our trust framework to be used by Tor clients and services to improve security.
