Reliable information on soil condition – the basis for evaluation its current condition of rational use. In the leading countries of the world it is accepted periodically – once in 20–30 years to conduct a solid survey of soil cover. During such a period of time, changes in soil properties become noticeable, and at the same time, due to the progress in soil science, the idea of soil genesis, their diagnostics, evolution in use, the evaluation of agro-industrial qualities and the way of rational use are improved. The purpose of this study is to propose new approaches for the transfer of information on the condition of soil with the help of modern devices of information and communication and GIS technologies for the mapping and updating of large-scale soil maps. The main tasks of this research work: 1) Improvement of elements of the methodology of large-scale soil survey; 2) Working out the methodology of large-scale and detailed soil survey; 3) Search for the use of innovative technical tools for the soil mapping. Working out the methods of information and communication facilities in large-scale and detailed studies of soil cover. In particular, a modern mobile device (smartphone) is used in field work with the use of on-line mode for data transmission directly over the Internet. For the work is used mobile software Collector for ArcGIS, application for collecting field data. Mobile device with Android operating system equipped with GPS receiver. The work covers the all technological process, from the development of a database of geospatial data (DB) to map representation in ArcGIS Online and its use for gathering field data and matching the results. The following software and hardware are used to perform the work: ArcGIS Desktop 10 and later; ArcGIS Online with organizational account (account); ESRI Collector for ArcGIS. In the course of the work, the collection of data in the field conditions on soil profiles and their description with the help of the Collector for ArcGIS application is performed. The methodology of the process for collecting data using Collector is presented: 1) Determining the data to be collected. Development of data collection model, what type of point objects and their attributes should be; 2) Placing the data collection model as an object service on ArcGIS Online; 3) Arrival at the place designated for the field works (in particular, in places of location of soil profiles) and the opening of a web-map (map-version) used for data collection. During the research of soil cover in the field, a series of soil profiles and trenches are located on the specific elements of the relief (where there may be a soil changes). All information is shown on the map in Collector for ArcGIS on your mobile device (smartphone, tablet).

The issue of legal regulation of information support on soils is considered. The characteristics of large-scale soil studies in Ukraine, which were conducted during 1957–1961, are given. The reasons for the inconsistency of the available information on the structure and condition of the soil cover are established. It is substantiated that the data of environmental impact assessments of ecological monitoring, soil survey, cadastral documentation, etc. can be sources of ecological information. Based on the legal analysis, it was concluded that the draft law of Ukraine «On Soil Conservation and Protection of Fertility» should establish that documented information on soil condition and ongoing soil protection measures should be open, publicly available, as it is public interest, except for information that is included in the category of information with limited access. Keywords: land, soil, soil cover, land use, soil protection, soil information, soil survey, monitoring, cadastral documentation

The paper responds to research problems related to the implementation of large-scale investment projects in waterways in Europe. As part of design and construction works, it is necessary to indicate river ports that play a major role within the European transport network as intermodal nodes. This entails a number of challenges, the cardinal one being the optimal selection of port locations, taking into account the new transport, economic, and geopolitical situation that will be brought about by modernized waterways. The aim of the paper was to present an original methodology for determining port locations for modernized waterways based on non-cost criteria, as an extended multicriteria decision-making method (MCDM) and employing GIS (Geographic Information System)-based tools for spatial analysis. The methodology was designed to be applicable to the varying conditions of a river’s hydroengineering structures (free-flowing river, canalized river, and canals) and adjustable to the requirements posed by intermodal supply chains. The method was applied to study the Odra River Waterway, which allowed the formulation of recommendations regarding the application of the method in the case of different river sections at every stage of the research process.

This paper describes a systematic methodology for selecting independent variables to be considered in large-scale research problems. Five specific procedures including brainstorming, prototype interface representation, feasibility/relevance analyses, structured literature reviews, and user subjective ratings are evaluated and incorporated into an integrated strategy. This methodology is demonstrated in the context of designing the user interface for a telephone-based information inquiry system. The procedure was successful in reducing an initial set of 95 independent variables to a subset of 19 factors that warrant subsequent detailed analysis. These results are discussed in terms of a comprehensive sequential research methodology useful for investigating human factors problems.

Some recent development of the fast multipole boundary element method (BEM) for modeling acoustic wave problems in both 2-D and 3-D domains are presented in this paper. First, the fast multipole BEM formulation for 2-D acoustic wave problems based on a dual boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation is presented. Second, some improvements on the adaptive fast multipole BEM for 3-D acoustic wave problems based on the earlier work are introduced. The improvements include adaptive tree structures, error estimates for determining the numbers of expansion terms, refined interaction lists, and others in the fast multipole BEM. Examples involving 2-D and 3-D radiation and scattering problems solved by the developed 2-D and 3-D fast multipole BEM codes, respectively, will be presented. The accuracy and efficiency of the fast multipole BEM results clearly demonstrate the potentials of the fast multipole BEM for solving large-scale acoustic wave problems that are of practical significance.

Purpose. Experimental studies of the interaction of blast-furnace and steel-making slags with open pit waters during their direct contact and assessment of the volume of filling of the formed man-made cavities during mining of mineral deposits. Methods. Based on the analysis, the current low level of metallurgical slag and the lack of real and effective directions of their large-scale utilization were determined. The laboratory studies of the interaction of metallurgical slags with open pit water at a certain time of interaction, generally accepted methods for studying the chemical composition and concentration of substances in water, computer-aided design software packages and drawings to determine the volumes of the open pit mined-out area were used. Results. The dynamics of changes in the products of interactions of steel-smelting slags with open-pit waters at a certain ratio and period of interaction was investigated. It was found that the concentration of pollutants upon contact of water with steel-making slag changes according to polynomial dependences on the time of their interaction, decreasing by the 30th day, which eliminates the danger for the aquifer. The safest type of metallurgical slag was recommended for the formation of the bottom layer of the backfill massif. The volumes of the mined-out area of the open pit were determined in detail to assess the volumes of placement of the backfill material based on metallurgical slags. Scientific novelty. The safety of the contact of backfill materials based on steelmaking slags with open pit water was scientifically proven, which is confirmed by the established polynomial patterns of changes in concentrations and pollutants from the ratio and time of interaction. Practical significance. The formation of the backfill massif on the basis of blast-furnace dump and steel-smelting slags will allow achieving an environmental effect, such as their safe disposal as a reclamation of technologically disturbed lands by mining and restoration of the economic value of the land plot, as well as preventing the formation of new dumps.

Beam capture efficiency (BCE) is one key factor of the overall efficiency for a microwave power transmission (MPT) system, while sparsification of a large-scale transmitting array has a practical significance. If all elements of the transmitting array are excited uniformly, the fabrication, maintenance, and feed network design would be greatly simplified. This paper describes the synthesis method of the sparse uniform-amplitude transmitting array with concentric ring layout using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm while keeping a higher BCE. Based on this method, uniform exciting strategy, reduced number of elements, and a higher BCE are achieved simultaneously for optimal MPT. The numerical results of the sparse uniform-amplitude concentric ring arrays (SUACRAs) optimized by the proposed method are compared with those of the random-located uniform-amplitude array (RLUAA) and the stepped-amplitude array (SAA), both being reported in the literatures for the maximum BCE. Compared to the RLUAA, the SUACRA saves 32% elements with a 1.1% higher BCE. While compared to the SAA, the SUACRA saves 29.1% elements with a bit higher BCE. The proposed SUACRAs have higher BCEs, simple array arrangement and feed network, and could be used as the transmitting array for a large-scale MPT system.

The article discusses the features of the genres of environmental journalism in the aspect of the global problems of understanding the interaction of man and nature. In the modern period of the development of multimedia technologies and convergent journalism, journalism genres are experiencing “reboots”, therefore, the definition of genre identity and the further implementation of such an important topic as ecology in journalistic materials seems relevant.Journalism is constantly transforming, reflecting changes in society. Understanding her contemporary experience is one of the tasks of the methodology of the creative process. Journalism synthesizes theoretical research methods and ways of artistic reflection of reality. This synthesis process is especially evident in the way typification and individualization are carried out in society in terms of the development of environmental consciousness. In this regard, journalism and journalism are able to establish and develop environmental communication, the basis of which is the real relationship between man and nature, as well as the reflection of social reality, public opinion on informational issues related to environmental (environmental) issues.The journalism activism of Kyrgyzstan has a large-scale experience of reflecting environmental issues, which is associated with a value and cultural orientation, the foundations of which are laid in the socio-cultural traditions of the Kyrgyz people and are most vividly embodied in the work of the great Chingiz Aitmatov. This article attempts to typify the main genres and forms of journalism, reflecting environmental issues. The study allows us to conclude that at the present stage, definitions of journalism genres require transformation in the aspect of both purely national and general cultural issues. The practical significance lies in the inclusion in the list of basic disciplines of journalism faculties of the special course "Genres of Contemporary Environmental Journalism", which will make the learning process more substantive, relevant and relevant in the practice of modern media
