This paper presents the developed mathematical models that characterize the thermal-air regime of a ventilated attic in the summer and winter seasons. The relevance of the mathematical models was shown and examples of applying these models to solve some engineering problems were presented. Mathematical models can be used to analyze and evaluate changes in the temperature and heat flux (the radiant and convective component) along the air movement in the attic and to select the materials for the roof and floor, as well as for the calculation of ventilation for different climatic conditions.

<p>Objetivou-se estimar a erosividade da chuva, mediante seis modelos matemáticos, de regressão linear avaliando entre estes, qual é mais indicado para as condições climáticas da região de São Mateus-ES. Os dados pluviométricos foram obtidos junto à Agência Nacional das Águas-ANA, sendo de 1947 a 2014 para Itauninhas, de 1971 a 2014 para Barra Nova, de 1981 a 2014 para São João da Cachoeira Grande e de 1993 a 2014 para Boca da Vala. Para estimar a erosividade da chuva, a partir da precipitação anual e do coeficiente de chuva, foram utilizadas diferentes equações utilizadas em outros estados com aplicação ao estado do Espírito Santo ou ajustadas para o próprio estado. Para os modelos matemáticos (II) e (I), os valores médios foram de 6.541,2 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> a 936,357 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> (Itauninhas), de 6.995,855 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> a 1.420,296 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> (Barra Nova), de 6.297,272 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> a 1.014,815 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> (São João da Cachoeira Grande) e de 5.427,659 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> a 1.626,489 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> ano<sup>-1</sup> (Boca da Vala). Para os municípios de Barra Nova e Boca da Vala a erosividade da chuva foi estimada pela equação EI<sub>30</sub> = 6,4492*pi – 391,63 com distribuição leptocúrtica. Para as outras duas localidades, a distribuição foi platicúrtica. A estação climatológica com o maior valor de erosividade média da chuva foi Barra Nova, enquanto Boca da Vala apresentou a menor erosividade, considerando apenas a estimativa da erosividade da chuva pelo modelo matemático II. Os maiores e menores valores de erosividade da chuva foram obtidos com os modelos matemáticos I e II. Para estimar a erosividade da chuva, nas condições climáticos da região de São Mateus-ES, o modelo matemático mais adequado é o II.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Evaluation of mathematical models to estimate rainfall erosivity in the region of São Mateus-ES</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>This study aimed to estimate the rainfall erosivity by six mathematical models, linear regression, and evaluate these, which is more suitable for the climatic conditions of São Mateus-ES region. The rainfall data were obtained from the National Water Agency-ANA, and 1947-2014 for Itauninhas, 1971-2014 to Barra Nova, 1981-2014 for São João da Cachoeira Grande and 1993-2014 for Boca da Vala. To estimate the rainfall erosivity, from the annual precipitation and rainfall coefficient were used different equations used in other states with application to the state of the Holy Spirit or adjusted to the state itself. For mathematical models (II) and (I), the average values were 6541.2 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> to 936.357 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> (Itauninhas) of 6995.855 MJ mm ha<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> to 1420.296 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> (Barra nova), to 6297.272 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> and 1014.815 MJ mm ha<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> (São João da Cachoeira Grande) and 5427.659 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> to 1626.489 MJ ha<sup>-1</sup> mm h<sup>-1</sup> year<sup>-1</sup> (Boca da Vala). For the municipalities of Barra Nova and Boca da Vala the rainfall erosivity was estimated by EI<sub>30</sub> = 6.4492*pi - 391.63 with leptokurtic distribution. For the other two locations, the distribution was platykurtic. The climatological station with the highest amount of average rainfall erosivity was Barra Nova, while Boca da Vala had the lowest erosivity, considering only an estimated rainfall erosivity by the mathematical model II. The highest and lowest values erosivity of the rain were obtained with the mathematical models I and II. To estimate the rainfall erosivity in the climatic conditions of São Mateus-ES region, the most suitable mathematical model is II.</p>

A small intelligence robot (SSR) is a special military intelligence means. It is used to obtain information about the enemy - the collection of intelligence, the search for targets and target indication, observation of the situation, etc. The use of a small intelligence robot is assumed in various natural and climatic conditions: in temperate terrain, on soils with low bearing capacity, at low temperatures, in the desert, on sandy and marshy soils, on rocky soils, in elevated temperature and dustiness of air, and also in conditions highlands In the article an overview of modern developments of remotely controlled robotic military complexes, principles of their construction and perspective directions of development in the armed forces are reviewed. The issues of robotization of existing weapons and military equipment are considered. Every sample of a SSR used in combat action must possess all combat characteristics at once in an optimal ratio between them, ensuring its maximum effectiveness. Ignoring any of the properties or enhancing one property at the expense of others will not enable the full realization of the small surveillance robot. It is reasonable to select the relevant properties at the design stage, using the possibilities of mathematical modeling. The set of tactical and technical characteristics of the SSR allowed forming this. Its characteristics determine the scope and possibilities of application. The mathematical model of the SSR motion is written in the Matlab Simulink environment. Recorded mathematical model of SSR motion, formed single test cycle and input data allowed to conduct computer simulation of motion in possible conditions of operation of small surveillance robot.The single trial cycle presented contains a set of individual sites and reproduces the testing test cycle of a real polygon. On the basis of the developed tactical and technical characteristics of the SSR, the experimental sample was made. An example of the use of SSR for the intelligence of the settlement and at keeping the node of barriers has been provided. The efficiency of performing intelligence units’ tasks and reducing the risk of human losses are shown.

The article considers the problem of determining the rational plans of the input sampling reliability and technical parameters of components of space technology, the totality of which is supplied to the Assembly plants for the manufacture of complex products of space technology. Problem statement and mathematical model based on the minimization of the economic costs of control and losses related to the risks of taking wrong decisions, are given in the article. The properties of the mathematical models are investigated, the algorithm for its optimization is developed. The result is an optimal plan for the sampling of sets of components, which includes: an optimal product mix subject to mandatory control of the aggregate and optimum risks of first and second kind, when acceptance number of statistical plan is zero. The latter circumstance is due to the high requirements of reliability and technical parameters of products of space technology.

Based on analysis of appropriate literary sources we established that estimation of fire separation distances was based of two criteria: heat flux and temperature. We proposed to use “ignition temperature of materials” as principal criterion when determining fire separation distances between adjacent construction facilities. Based on the results derived while performing complete factorial we created mathematical model to describe trend of changing fire separation distances depending on caloric power of fire load (Q), openings factor of the external enclosing structures (k) and duration of irradiation (t); moreover, its adequacy was confirmed. Based on linear regression equations we substantiated calculation and tabular method for the determination of fire separation distances for a facility being irradiated which contains combustible or otherwise non-combustible façade and a facility where liquid oil products turn. We developed and proposed general methodology for estimation of fire separation distances between construction facilities by calculation.

AbstractA mathematical model of the dynamics of the Baltic Sea is considered. A problem of variational assimilation of sea surface temperature (SST) data is formulated and studied. Based on variational assimilation of satellite observation data, an algorithm solving the inverse problem of heat flux restoration on the interface of two media is proposed. The results of numerical experiments reconstructing the heat flux functions in the problem of variational assimilation of SST observation data are presented. The influence of SST assimilation on other hydrodynamic parameters of the model is considered.

Rapid measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by an inulin single-bolus technique would be useful, but its accuracy has been questioned. We hypothesized that reported inaccuracies reflect the use of inappropriate mathematical models. GFR was measured in 14 intact and 5 unilaterally nephrectomized conscious male Sprague-Dawley rats (mean weight 368 ± 12 g) by both single-bolus (25 mg/kg) and constant-infusion techniques (0.693 mg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ min−1). The temporal decline in plasma inulin concentration was analyzed through biexponential curve fitting, which accounted for renal inulin loss before complete vascular and interstitial mixing. We compared our mathematical model based on empirical rationale with those of other investigators whose studies suggest inaccuracy of single-bolus methods. Our mathematical model yielded GFR values by single bolus that agreed with those obtained by constant infusion [slope = 0.94 ± 0.16 (SE); y intercept = 0.23 ± 0.64; r = 0.82]. In comparison to the data obtained by constant inulin infusion, this method yielded a very small bias of −0.0041 ± 0.19 ml/min. Two previously reported models yielded unsatisfactory values (slope = 1.46 ± 0.34, y intercept = 0.47 ± 1.5, r = 0.72; and slope = 0.17 ± 1.26, y intercept = 17.15 ± 5.14, r = 0.03). The biases obtained by using these methods were −2.21 ± 0.42 and −13.90 ± 1.44 ml/min, respectively. The data indicate that when appropriate mathematical models are used, inulin clearance after single-bolus delivery can be used to measure GFR equivalent to that obtained by constant infusion of inulin. Attempts to use methods of analysis for simplicity or expediency can result in unacceptable measurements relative to the clinical range of values seen.

The theoretical relationship between the distribution of a given trait in a population of twin pairs and several genetic parameters has been examined. In particular, a series of mathematical models has been worked out, that, when applied to a twin population, nonselected for the occurrence of a given trait and nondiagnosed as to zygosity, leads to an estimate of:1) The MZ: DZ ratio in the population;2) The frequency of the genotype responsible for a given trait;3) The probability of manifestation of the trait;4) The value of epistatic factors.A further mathematical model affords the estimate of linkage in the hypothesis of simultaneous recording of more than one trait.

С применением математической модели, включающей осредненные уравнения движения и дифференциальные уравнения переноса нормальных рейнольдсовых напряжений и скорости диссипации, выполнено численное моделирование эволюции безымпульсного закрученного турбулентного следа с ненулевым моментом количества движения за телом вращения. Получено, что начиная с расстояний порядка 1000 диаметров от тела течение становится автомодельным. На основе анализа результатов численных экспериментов построены упрощенные математические модели дальнего следа. Swirling turbulent jet flows are of interest in connection with the design and development of various energy and chemical-technological devices as well as both study of flow around bodies and solving problems of environmental hydrodynamics, etc. An interesting example of such a flow is a swirling turbulent wake behind bodies of revolution. Analysis of the known works on the numerical simulation of swirling turbulent wakes behind bodies of revolution indicates lack of knowledge on the dynamics of the momentumless swirling turbulent wake. A special case of the motion of a body with a propulsor whose thrust compensates the swirl is studied, but there is a nonzero integral swirl in the flow. In previous works with the participation of the authors, a numerical simulation of the initial stage of the evolution of a swirling momentumless turbulent wake based on a hierarchy of second-order mathematical models was performed. It is shown that a satisfactory agreement of the results of calculations with the available experimental data is possible only with the use of a mathematical model that includes the averaged equations of motion and differential equations for the transfer of normal Reynolds stresses along the rate of dissipation. In the present work, based on the above mentioned mathematical model, a numerical simulation of the evolution of a far momentumless swirling turbulent wake with a nonzero angular momentum behind the body of revolution is performed. It is shown that starting from distances of the order of 1000 diameters from the body the flow becomes self-similar. Based on the analysis of the results of numerical experiments, simplified mathematical models of the far wake are constructed. The authors dedicate this work to the blessed memory of Vladimir Alekseevich Kostomakha.

Abstract Plants are studied to understand their growth and development so that their quality and productivity can be optimised. Models are developed that can be simple and descriptive, or quite complex with numerous mathematical equations; their level of complexity is linked to their purpose. This summary serves as an introduction to mathematical models in horticulture. It is not a manual for modelling itself, but rather an overview of how important mathematical models are in horticultural production. Mathematical models are used extensively in horticulture both extrinsically, i.e. when calculating chilling hour accumulations and intrinsically, i.e. when applying fertilizer to a crop. In chilling calculations, developed models are used directly. Fertilizer recommendations were probably developed using a mathematical model. The first part of this article discusses models in general and reviews general characteristics of mathematical models. The second part outlines the major uses of mathematical modelling in modern horticultural production. Presentations of specific models are limited in order to present a general discussion of models with examples that will interest most horticulturists.
