Nowadays, one of the main challenges in computer architectures is scalability; indeed, novel processor architectures can include thousands of processing elements on a single chip and using them efficiently remains a big issue. An interesting source of inspiration for handling scalability is the mammalian brain and different works on neuromorphic computation have attempted to address this question. The Self-configurable 3D Cellular Adaptive Platform (SCALP) has been designed with the goal of prototyping such types of systems and has led to the proposal of the Cellular Self-Organizing Maps (CSOM) algorithm. In this paper, we present a hardware architecture for CSOM in the form of interconnected neural units with the specific property of supporting an asynchronous deployment on a multi-FPGA 3D array. The Asynchronous CSOM (ACSOM) algorithm exploits the underlying Network-on-Chip structure to be provided by SCALP in order to overcome the multi-path propagation issue presented by a straightforward CSOM implementation. We explore its behaviour under different map topologies and scalar representations. The results suggest that a larger network size with low precision coding obtains an optimal ratio between algorithm accuracy and FPGA resources.

Problem setting. The article examines issues related to property that is the personal private property of the wife, husband. Some problems and contradictions of the legal regime of personal private property are analyzed, according to the results of the analysis of which, one’s own position is stated. The case law on this issue is studied and its key aspects within the topic of the article are singled out. The thesis is proposed and argued that an effective way to establish the legal regime of property, according to which it will be the personal private property of a husband or wife can be a marriage contract. The practical significance of the obtained results is that they can be used: in the research field ‒ for further research on the problems of personal private property of spouses in family relationships; in law-making activity ‒ for improvement of provisions of the current legislation of Ukraine, at creation of new and modification of the operating domestic regulatory legal acts concerning the outlined problem; law enforcement activities ‒ by applying practical conclusions and recommendations in practice in matters relating to personal private property of husband, wife; in the educational process ‒ as a didactic support of certain topics in the discipline «Family Law of Ukraine». Analysis of recent researches and publications in which this problem was considered, showed that, in particular, such scientists as V.K. Antoshkina, V.I. Borisov, L. Vlasenko, E.M. Vorozheykin, N. Zagriya, I.V. Zhilinkova, A.O. Dutko, V.O. Kozhevnikova, L.V. Krasitska, V.A. Kreutor, O.M. Ponomarenko, O.V. Rozgon, O.I. Safonchik, O.V. Sinegubov, I.V. Spasibo-Fateeva, R.O. Stefanchuk, E.O. Fomina, S. Fursa, E. Fursa, E.A. Kharitonov, Y.S. Chervony, V.L. Yarotsky and others paid much attention to its various aspects. Target of research. Research of the legal nature and features of property that is the personal private property of the wife, husband. Article’s main body. According to the Family Code of Ukraine, the personal private property of the husband and wife are: 1) property acquired before marriage; 2) property acquired during the marriage, but on the basis of a contract of gift or by inheritance; 3) property acquired during the marriage, but for funds that belonged to one of the spouses personally; 4) housing acquired by one of the spouses during the marriage as a result of privatization in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Privatization of State Housing”; 5) land acquired as a result of privatization, which was in his / her use, or obtained as a result of privatization of land of state and communal agricultural enterprises, institutions and organizations, or obtained from state and communal lands within the norms of free privatization defined by the Land Code Of Ukraine. In addition, the personal private property of the spouses is also things for individual use, ie things that each spouse personally uses daily or regularly. Here it is important to emphasize that there is no clearly defined list of such things in the current legislation. However, as a rule, these include clothing, perfumes, cosmetics, accessories, jewelry, personal hygiene products and more. Such items include, in particular, jewelry, even if they were purchased with common funds. However, in practice there are difficulties in what is to be understood by the concept of “jewelry”, because it is evaluative. In the event that the division of property of the spouses takes place in court, the court must decide in each case whether a particular thing is valuable. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Thus, property acquired before marriage is exclusively personal private property – marriage registration does not change the legal regime of property acquired separately by each spouse before marriage. In addition, such property retains a regime of separation regardless of the duration of the marriage, even if the property was used not only by the owner but by both spouses. As for the property acquired in marriage, it is possible to recognize it as personal private property, but this requires a lot of effort and substantiated evidence that confirms the fact that one of the spouses spent their personal money and specific property. We concluded that an effective way to avoid possible risks and protect spouses from future misunderstandings and disputes over property regimes is to conclude a marriage contract, which can not only resolve the property relations of husband and wife during marriage, but also prevent possible lawsuits. disputes over the division of property in the event of divorce.

Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/hydroxyapatite (HAP) composites represent a novel material with desired properties for various applications. In this work, PCL/HAP composites at low loadings were developed through melt-extrusion processing. The effects of HAP loading on viscoelastic, thermal, structural, and mechanical properties of PCL were examined. The morphological analysis revealed better dispersion of HAP at low loadings, while aggregation was noticed at high concentrations. The complex viscosity of the prepared composites increased with increasing concentration of HAP. In addition, a significant decrease in crystallinity was observed upon increase in HAP loading. However, the elongation at break increased with increasing the concentration of HAP, probably due to a decrease in crystallinity. The onset thermal degradation temperature of PCL was enhanced at low concentrations of HAP, whereas a decrease was observed at high loading. Overall, different degrees of HAP dispersion resulted into specific property improvement.

The new approach to accelerate the computational implementation of the basic for a wide range of cryptographic data protection mechanisms operation of exponentiation on Galois Fields have been proposed. The approach is based on the use of a specific property of a polynomial square and the Montgomery reduction.  A new method of squaring reduces the amount of computation by 25% compared to the known ones. Based on the developed method, the exponentiation on Galois Fields procedure has been modified, which allows to reduce the amount of calculations by 20%.

Abstract Materials in pavement construction are used due to their material properties. Asphalt mixtures, which are today most used during building pavement construction, have a significant place. Asphalt mixtures are classified as viscoelastic materials due to their material properties. This article focuses on the time delay of the stress behind the strain, which is a specific property for viscoelastic materials. It is particularly focused on one type of asphalt mixture, which is used in the binder course and in the upper base layer. The selected asphalt mixture was tested on a four-bending machine and the samples had a beam shape. The sample was tested at four temperatures and seven frequencies. In the discussion, the article focuses on the comparison of the time delay of the stress Δt behind the strain during the change of temperature and frequency. It is clear from the results that the selected asphalt mixture is significantly affected by the change in temperature as well as the change in frequency. The conclusion is devoted to a summary of the acquired knowledge and observation, which is focused on examples in practice.

Abstract Previous research has shown that orthographic marking may have a function beyond identifying orthographic word forms. In two visual priming experiments with native speakers and advanced learners of German (Czech natives) we tested the hypothesis that orthography can convey word-class cues comparable to morphological marking. We examined the effect of initial letter capitalization of nouns (a specific property of German orthography) on the processing of five homonymous and grammatically ambiguous forms. Both populations showed the same pattern of results: deverbal nouns (conversions) patterned together with countable nouns while in a previous study (with eliminated orthographic word-class cues) they patterned together with infinitives. Together, findings suggest that orthographic cues can trigger word-class-specific lexical retrieval/access. They also suggest a lexical entry structure in which conversion nouns, infinitives, and inflected verbal forms share a category-neutral parent node and that specified subnodes are accessed only when specifying cues are available and/or necessary for processing.

The aim of the research in this work is to study the features of psychological manipulation and ways to neutralize it as components of the activities of the heads of the internal affairs body of the Russian Federation. The phenomenon of "manipulation" has been studied by researchers in this field for a long time. In general terms, it means a sequence of some intentions and actions, the final result of which is not obvious to those to whom it is directed. The development of the global information and communication environment makes various theoretical and applied knowledge of a specific property available to a wide range of people and creates favorable conditions for the use of this knowledge for the purpose of manipulation and manipulative influence on certain social groups, entire social systems and their individual representatives. By the nature of their activities, the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation often have to deal with psychological manipulation, the involvement in which is related to official necessity. A study (survey) was carried out with the participation of 50 students of the management faculty of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia aged 30 to 55 years, the purpose of which was to study the features of psychological manipulation in the activities of the head of the internal affairs body of the Russian Federation. The results of the study showed that there is a need to develop the manager's competence in the field of manipulative influence. Today in psychological science and practice there are many technologies for the use, recognition and protection from psychological manipulations, which can be successfully used by the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in managerial activities, but this requires special training from them.

AbstractDirectly manipulating the atomic structure to achieve a specific property is a long pursuit in the field of materials. However, hindered by the disordered, non-prototypical glass structure and the complex interplay between structure and property, such inverse design is dauntingly hard for glasses. Here, combining two cutting-edge techniques, graph neural networks and swap Monte Carlo, we develop a data-driven, property-oriented inverse design route that managed to improve the plastic resistance of Cu-Zr metallic glasses in a controllable way. Swap Monte Carlo, as a sampler, effectively explores the glass landscape, and graph neural networks, with high regression accuracy in predicting the plastic resistance, serves as a decider to guide the search in configuration space. Via an unconventional strengthening mechanism, a geometrically ultra-stable yet energetically meta-stable state is unraveled, contrary to the common belief that the higher the energy, the lower the plastic resistance. This demonstrates a vast configuration space that can be easily overlooked by conventional atomistic simulations. The data-driven techniques, structural search methods and optimization algorithms consolidate to form a toolbox, paving a new way to the design of glassy materials.

In the recent years, several new construction methods of fuzzy implications have been proposed. However, these construction methods actually care about that the new implication could preserve more properties. In this paper, we introduce a new method for constructing fuzzy implications based on an aggregation function with F (1,  0) =1, a fuzzy implication I and a non-decreasing function φ, called FIφ-construction. Specifically, some logical properties of fuzzy implications preserved by this construction are studied. Moreover, it is studied how to use the FIφ-construction to produce a new implication satisfying a specific property. Furthermore, we produce two new subclasses of fuzzy implications such as UIφ-implications and GpIφ-implications by this method and discuss some additional properties. Finally, we provide a way to generate fuzzy subsethood measures by means of FIφ-implications.

AbstractIt is widely recognised that burglary and theft offence trends have broadly moved in parallel in ‘Western’ market-based countries since the 1950s. Most researchers have focussed on the trend from the early 1990s onwards, when burglary and theft offence rates plummeted. One major proposed explanation for this trend, relates to improved security. This paper draws on the longitudinal variations in reward of electronic consumer goods to propose a complementary account. This argument is supported by criminological theory, empirical evidence, and historical trends of specific property crime offences. The paper concludes by explaining that reward and security operate in partnership to influence the opportunity for crime, which provides an optimal account for burglary and theft offence trends over the last 40 years.
