This document provides some minimal guidelines (and requirements) for writing a research paper. Issues related to Batteries in the modern world have become ubiquitous in large quantities, in the sense that they provide energy for a wide range of products used in all parts of everyday life, from households to large industrial enterprises that have high energy requirements. Nowadays, more and more countries, collect and recycle lead batteries. However, the recycling process is quite dangerous if not properly controlled. The appropriate design of industrial facilities will minimize the hazards of the process, allowing a smooth development of materials and services, with higher added value, at minimum cost. This paper refers to a recycling batteries facility, where three mainly sectors positively contribute to the conservation of natural resources, energy savings, as well as the reduction of toxic gases and emissions.

The versatility of the form factors of thermal shape memory alloys (SMA) in combination with their unique actuation and sensing abilities allow for the design and construction of innovative multifunctional systems. Despite the considerable number of advantages, such as their exceptional energy density, only a few SMA-based actuator systems are commercially available. One of the main reasons for this is their inefficient thermal activation and the resulting high energy consumption. The efficiency of SMA-based actuator systems can be improved by innovative design and control approaches. In the first part of this paper, the intelligent combination of SMA actuator wires with bi-stable, nonlinear spring elements is described. This combination eliminates the commonly quoted disadvantages of SMAs—slow actuation and energy inefficiency—for a wide range of applications. In particular, two energy-free actuator configurations are realized, which can be applied to any non-proportional actuation tasks. The second approach for the realization of high-speed actuation and energy efficiency is the activation of SMA wires with high voltage pulses, which leads to actuation times in the millisecond range and energy savings of up to 80% in comparison to the suppliers’ recommendations. It is shown that even high AC voltages such as typical mains supplies can be directly used for highly efficient SMA activation.

Issues of scientific and technological development of the economy, increasing its competitiveness, including various aspects of technological integration, are the subject of foreign and domestic research. At the same time, technological integration is considered as a key direction of the new industrial and scientific-technical policy, as a means of transition to the digital economy, to production processes with higher added value, as a means of establishing a constructive dialogue between industrial enterprises and science. The reason for this is, on the one hand, the relative novelty of this economic phenomenon, and, on the other, the lack of theoretical and methodological tools for modelling the development of technological integration. The purpose of the article is to study the problems of modelling the development of technological integration in the context of priority scientific and technological development of the Russian economy. The article uses a wide range of general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis, grouping, typing, modelling, economicstatistical and graphical. The main methodological approaches used in the article are: structural-functional, instrumental and process approaches, which are reflected in the scientific and practical material of the general theory of systems, the theory of organization. The theoretical results of the study are the disclosure of the organizational model for the development of technological integration as a dynamic set of interconnected modules: management and coordination; structure; processes; resources designated to achieve the strategic objectives of technology integration participants. Classification characteristics of technological integration development processes have been identified and theoretically justified. The applied result is a specialized modelling tool based on a combination of a standardized approach and improved design quality with the ability to test simulated processes and the presence of stable feedback with all participants in technological integration. The process model of technological integration development was argued, its decomposition was carried out, which allows distinguishing the main, supporting and regulatory processes of participants in technological integration. The combination of these models facilitates the management of these processes in order to maximize the efficiency of the modern economy. An organizational and economic mechanism for modelling the development of technological integration is proposed, which allows the use of operational monitoring, due to the vector orientation of which it becomes possible to promptly carry out regular adjustments of key parameters of assessing the impact of technological integration on the results of technological development in national economies.

AbstractDue to the special characteristics of zeolites, they can be applied in a very wide range of industries, i.e. agricultural, environmental or water treatment purposes. Generally, high added value zeolite products are manufactured by micro- or nanogrinding. However, these processes require high energy input and cause significant wearing of the mill parts. Therefore, the optimization of zeolite grinding, as well as the control of its properties are of a great importance. In the present paper a Hungarian natural zeolite was mechanically activated in stirred media mill for various residence times in distilled water, meanwhile the particle size distribution and the grinding energy were measured. Additionally, on-line tube rheometer was used to study the rheology of the suspension during the grinding process. The particle interaction and the suspension aggregation stability were detected by zeta-potential measurements. Structural changes due to the mechanical activation process were monitored by FTIR. It was found that the material structure of the zeolite, as well as the rheological behaviour of the zeolite suspension and its aggregation stability had been altered due to the mechanical activation in the stirred media mill. It can be concluded that the zeolite product properties can be modified by mechanical activation in order to produce a high added value tailored material.

It is known that industrial architecture is the important part of modern world. It brings profits and goods to our globalized soсiety. But industrial facilities is the most susceptible to obsolescence because of dynamics of technical progress development and different economic changes in societies.Industrial architecture, as an independent type of an artificial anthropogenic environment, is about 300 years old. Over the entire period of its existence, it has changed many times, depending on the development of technological progress. The evolution of the ideology of industrial buildings on the territory of Ukraine was uneven with certain jerks. This was facilitated by certain socio-political and military historical events, so Ukraine achieved active industrial development in the -1950-70s. During this period appeared the scientific specialization 18.00.03 "Architecture of Buildings and Structures" which was combined with the specialty 18.00.02 "Architecture of buildings and structures" at the end of this period. From 1961 to 1991 the leading research and design center for industrial buildings was the Scientific Research Institute "TsNIIPromzdaniy", which is located in Moscow. This organization set the direction of development of enterprises to the whole Union (and for Ukraine, which was part of the Union). In the late 1980s, this organization carried out the development of new concepts of industrial enterprises under the state order. During this period a number of concepts of mobile and adaptive industrial enterprises were developed. Adaptive enterprises were introduced in the 90s of the 20th century. But this evolutionary change in the policy of development of industrial enterprises was outstripped by the collapse of the territorial organization of the Union.

Energy is consumed in devices in a different manner according to their available limited resources (such as battery) in an attempt to fulfill tasks imposed by the services’ processing and data demands. This has led ICT researchers to find interest in strategies for mitigating high energy consumptions when processing and transferring data. For example, efforts on delivering efficient software code that preserves energy by being architecturally efficient and conscious about resource usage have been done in the past, but we consider that other approaches could be implemented in order to further increase energy savings.  We present an introduction to our future work that aims at analyzing and categorizing a wide range of situations and example applications that may have an impact on the most suitable decisions to be taken regarding the needs of the service/application and the expected energy consumption.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

At present time the interest is growing considerably for theoretical and experimental analysis of back-scattered electrons (BSE) energy spectra. It was discovered that a special angle and energy nitration of BSE flow could be used for increasing a spatial resolution of BSE mode, sample topography investigations and for layer-by layer visualizing of a depth structure. In the last case it was shown theoretically that in order to obtain suitable depth resolution it is necessary to select a part of BSE flow with the directions of velocities close to inverse to the primary beam and energies within a small window in the high-energy part of the whole spectrum.A wide range of such devices has been developed earlier, but all of them have considerable demerit: they can hardly be used with a standard SEM due to the necessity of sufficient SEM modifications like installation of large accessories in or out SEM chamber, mounting of specialized detector systems, input wires for high voltage supply, screening a primary beam from additional electromagnetic field, etc. In this report we present a new scheme of a compact BSE energy analyzer that is free of imperfections mentioned above.

The present article considers the need to predict migration flows using Predictive Analytics. The Russian Federation is a center of migration activity. The modern world is changing rapidly. An effective migration policy requires effective monitoring of migration flows, assessing the current situation in our and other countries and forecasting migration processes. There are information systems in Russia that contain a wide range of information about foreign citizens and stateless persons that provide the requested information about specific foreign citizens, including grouping it on various grounds. However, it is not possible to analyze and predict it automatically using thousands of parameters. Special attention in Russia is paid to digitalization. Using information technologies (artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analysis) to forecast migration flows in conditions of variability of future events will allow to take into account a number of events and most accurately predict the quantitative and so-called "qualitative" structure of arrivals. The received information will help to develop state policy and to take appropriate measures in the field of migration regulation. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to amend existing legal acts in order to implement information technologies of Predictive Analytics into the practice of migration authorities.
