This article is devoted to the study of tree and shrub vegetation of the Anapa-bay bar, which has a direct impact on the formation of landscape, and affects the processes of accumulation and transfer of matter. The materials of air laser scanning made it possible to perform automated calculation of all trees and shrubs. Their quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed. The study area is divided into sections depending on the nature of the landscape and vegetation. By processing laser scanning data and digital aerial photography, digital models of each tree and shrub above 0.7 m were construct-ed. For the selected areas, the number of all elements and the area of vegetation is calculated up to each tree. As a result, of the study, the method of software selection of tree and shrub vegetation with automatic receipt of attribute information about the height and diameter of vegetation crowns was tested.

ABSTRACTThe creation of digital repositories of human skeletal remains offers bioarchaeologists a variety of potential means of aiding efforts related to curation and analysis. We present a discussion of how issues of preservation and access can affect research and argue that digital repositories not only maintain a record of objects but that the digital format allows researchers to expand their studies to include otherwise inaccessible collections. Digital models can be utilized by bioarchaeologists to collect and analyze a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative data. We review several digital capture methods employed by bioarchaeologists, including CT scanning, laser scanning, and photogrammetry. While photogrammetry is underutilized by bioarchaeologists, we point out its many advantages over other methods.

During the last years of Emperor Trajan’s reign, the Legio IV Scythica was stationed in the capital of Armenia at that time, Artaxata. It had made its way there within the scope of the Roman campaign against the Parthians. Its presence was immortalised on stamped rooftiles, bricks and a monumental inscription discovered by the southern border of the present-day village of Pokr Vedi. The inscription carved into limestone confirms the building activities of the Roman army. Similar inscriptions were frequently placed on the gates and most important buildings in legionary camps. Polish and Armenian archaeologists undertook a joint search for the supposed camp of the Fourth Scythian Legion in the vicinity of the present-day village of Pokr Vedi, where the above-mentioned construction inscription had been found. The field surveys conducted within the framework of the Pokr Vedi Project were mainly of a non-invasive character. The following were applied: surface prospection, aerial photography, interviews with the inhabitants, scanning of part of the terrain and geophysical measurements done using two methods: electrical resistivity and magnetic measurements. The accumulated data enabled the selection of sites in which survey trenches were located

This paper presents the theoretical basis for the development of the Earth's surface relief digital models. The sources and structure of the modeling data, as well as the methods of their processing, are described, depending on the spatial-temporal properties of the Earth's surface. Digital relief models have great significance and wide application in modern geodetic works. Representation of the spatial structure of the relief can be done with different methods of interpolation. In this paper their mathematical foundations are also given. General indicators of the quality of digital relief models are briefly described.

The present article aims to study the phenomenon of memes, in the attempt to identify the level of globalization vis à vis localization these communicative, social and cultural products voice. This article therefore presents a small selection of memes from both the United Kingdom and Italy, and briefly analyses them from a linguistic and visual perspective. For reasons of space, the quantitative analysis of the corpus will not be discussed at length here. However, the qualitative analysis of the memes selected for this study will prove that the majority of the existing material, while adapting to global formats and visuals, often exploits regional and local varieties of language. Thus, since language is the expression of specific cultures, the analysis demonstrates how, despite globalization, local (and localized) features of the communities that create memes survive in their uniqueness. Hence, since memes are privileged forms of communication among younger members of society, the results point to a generation of youth that, despite the tendency to follow global models, is well aware of the traditional and local cultures they stem from and strive to keep them alive. On the basis of this analysis, the article finally argues that memes – like many other products of popular culture – represent a privileged arena which, if studied systematically through the tools of discourse analysis and sociolinguistics, can reveal important aspects of the societies that produce them and their evolution.

The nature of photographic resolving power is discussed and attention called to the widespread misconception of it that exists at the present time. Most of the detailed discussion applies specifically to photographic objectives intended for use in aerial photography but the general approach to their photographic resolving power is applicable to studies of the photographic performance of all types of optical systems. An annulus type of target is proposed as more suitable than line targets. A method is given for the selection of the photographic focal plane when the essential requirement of the photographic use is the acquisition of maximum information. General remarks are made on the proper trend to be followed in the future design of photographic objectives. Results are presented on a study of a number of well known types of photographic objectives used for aerial photography.

AbstractThe development of software applications and the use of VR (Virtual Reality) techniques allow to improve the company’s financial result. The construction of models of robotic stations with robots using Virtual Robot technology allows to determine the time of the machining process. It allows its optimization through the selection of accelerations, tools, tooling strategies, and so on. Determining the time of a technological operation translates into savings. This allows you to decide on the purposefulness of the investment. In addition, modern software add-ons, for example, Signal Analyzer in RobotStudio, allow you to monitor the electricity consumption of a robotic station. The article presents a solution showing how, based on the construction of digital models and the use of VR, we can conclude about the profitability of the investment.
