The development of the general theory of measurement stimulated the expansion of metrological requirements and the nomenclature of data quality indicators, as well as the emergence of new types of measurements, metrological certification and control, in particular, metrological algorithms, models, objects and measurement conditions. As a rule, the practice of modern measurement problems is accompanied by complex experimental conditions associated with the presence of significant a priori uncertainty about the properties of objects and factors affecting the environment of their functioning, the relationship between them, inaccuracies and incompleteness of experimental information, the unavailability of direct observation of many properties of objects or influencing factors, which distinguishes the cognitive function of the methodology for solving them from the fundamental one. Therefore, the formulation of these problems as measurements increases the role of the cognitive function of measurements and requires the results of their solutions in the form of knowledge (analytical expressions for models, as well as conclusions and solutions) based on the entire volume of a priori information and information obtained during the measurement experiment, including nonnumerical information.

A Priori Uncertainty

This paper is devoted to the presence of distortions in a speech signal transmitted over a communication channel to a biometric system during voice-based remote identification. We propose to preliminary correct the frequency spectrum of the received signal based on the pre-distortion principle. Taking into account a priori uncertainty, a new information indicator of speech signal distortions and a method for measuring it in conditions of small samples of observations are proposed. An example of fast practical implementation of the method based on a parametric spectral analysis algorithm is considered. Experimental results of our approach are provided for three different versions of communication channel. It is shown that the usage of the proposed method makes it possible to transform the initially distorted speech signal into compliance on the registered voice template by using acceptable information discrimination criterion. It is demonstrated that our approach may be used in existing biometric systems and technologies of speaker identification.

Time Reserve

The article evaluates the reliability indicators of telecommunication system equipment, which can be represented by multi-mode objects of continuous and episodic use with a time reserve operating under conditions of a priori uncertainty. Particular attention is paid to consideration of the process of functioning of the system with a replenished time reserve. The telecommunication system includes an object represented by one structural element and used in different modes of operation. In each mode, the object can be used continuously or episodically (the object performs tasks that occur at random times), herewith only a certain part of its equipment is operating. The restoration of the facility's operation in each mode is based on the "quick" recovery scheme ("quick" recovery means that the repair time is much less than the average working time of the element between failures). Also, some cases of the transition of an object from one mode to another are considered, and the control system operates according to the method of sequential control of parameters. In this case, the system, after waiting mode, begins to analyze the first parameter of the monitored complex, then the second and so on. After analyzing the parameters, the system enters the waiting mode. These calculated ratios allow for a comprehensive assessment of the reliability of telecommunication equipment, taking into account the totality of the main factors that significantly affect the reliability of the equipment in real conditions of operation, make it possible to solve important practical problems which arise from the improvement of existing equipment and development of existing equipment.

A Priori Uncertainty

The paper considers the spatial filtering methods of signals with spectrum overlapping under conditions of a priori uncertainty of the directions of arrival from radio sources. The estimates of the directions of signals arrival obtained by ESPRIT or MUSIC are used in order to build a spatial filter. It is shown that when using ESPRIT, unlike MUSIC, an additional calculations of filter coefficients based on estimates of the directions of signals arrival are not required, and the quadrature components of the signals are formed simultaneously with estimates of the direction of their arrival. The probability of error performances of minimum shift keying signals which were divided by spatial filtering on the basis of ESPRIT and MUSIC using seven-element circular and angular antenna arrays are given.

With increasing urbanisation, new approaches such as the Circular Economy (CE) are needed to reduce resource consumption. In Switzerland, Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste accounts for the largest portion of waste (84%). Beyond limiting the depletion of primary resources, implementing recycling strategies for C&D waste (such as using recycled aggregates to produce recycled concrete (RC)), can also decrease the amount of landfilled C&D waste. The use of RC still faces adoption barriers. In this research, we examined the factors driving the adoption of recycled products for a CE in the C&D sector by focusing on RC for structural applications. We developed a behavioural framework to understand the determinants of architects’ decisions to recommend RC. We collected and analysed survey data from 727 respondents. The analyses focused on architects’ a priori beliefs about RC, behavioural factors affecting their recommendations of RC, and project-specific contextual factors that might play a role in the recommendation of RC. Our results show that the factors that mainly facilitate the recommendation of RC by architects are: a senior position, a high level of RC knowledge and of the Minergie label, beliefs about the reduced environmental impact of RC, as well as favourable prescriptive social norms expressed by clients and other architects. We emphasise the importance of a holistic theoretical framework in approaching decision-making processes related to the adoption of innovation, and the importance of the agency of each involved actor for a transition towards a circular construction sector.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of dried Cystoseira barbata alga for ethanol production through alcoholic fermentation. The influence of the main factors affecting the fermentation are studied in the frame of a 23 factorial experimental plan. The main factors influencing the process are the fermentation temperature (t from 25 °C to 35 °C), the solid to liquid ratio (S/L from 0.040 g/g to 0.080 g/g), and the cellulase ratio (R from 8 U/g d.m to 16 U/g d.m.). The maximum volatile compounds yield of 0.2808 g/g d.m and ethanol yield of 0.0158 g/g d.m were favored by the following experimental conditions: process temperature of 35 °C, solid to liquid ratio of 0.0415, and enzyme ratio of 16 U/g d.m. A statistical model was used to correlate the product yield with the process factors. Additionally, 19 interesting bioactive compounds were found in the enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation broths which seem likely to maintain natural defence mechanisms against diseases and physical disorders.
