Over time reinforced concrete construction tend to lose their strength properties. An important factor in maintaining the integrity of reinforced concrete structures is the compliance of the parameters of the erected structure with its design values and operating conditions. Otherwise, the likelihood of defects such as the formation of cracks in the protective layer and corrosion of reinforcement increases. There are methods for restoring reinforced concrete structures that can return the strength characteristics to the design level or even exceed it.

The paper presents a new approach to assessing the level of contamination with heavy metals of the soil-like fraction from landfills using Monte Carlo simulation using the example of landfills located within the borders of Volgograd.It was found that with a probability of 36.2%, the contamination level of a soil-like fraction from the landfill located in the Voroshilovsky district will correspond to moderately hazardous, and with a probability of 63.8%, hazardous. It is economically justified to isolate a soil-like fraction with a low level of pollution to detoxify it and further use it in the territory reclamation. For a soil-like fraction from landfill located in the Traktorozavodsky district, the pollution level was determined as extremely hazardous and hazardous with a probability of 87.1% and 3.1%, respectively. It is shown that a useful and usable part cannot be isolated from a soil-like fraction. A soil-like fraction must be neutralized and placed at waste disposal facilities.The presented approach is a useful instrument for pollution level assessment of a soil-like fraction, which can increase the accuracy of an estimate and the management effectiveness of a soil-like fraction during landfill development.

The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the fact that currently there is no linking of the calendar plan to the schedule for the development of capital investments. The principle of constructing a schedule for the development of capital investments is proposed, which ensures the uniformity and proportionality of the use of financial resources. Schedules for the development of capital investments are constructed, each schedule for the development of capital investments corresponds to an image describing the change in the absolute value of the profitability of the investment and construction project. The use of a mathematical apparatus describing the movement of a material point can be used in the development of investment schedules and calendar plans for construction. The construction of construction schedules in the section of the construction organization project based on investment schedules will have a significant impact on the economic efficiency of investment projects.

This article analyzes data processing problems for training a neural network. The first stage of model training - feature extraction - is discussed in detail. The article discusses the method of mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. The spectrum of the voice signal was plotted. By multiplying the vectors of the signal spectrum and the window function, we found the signal energy that falls into each of the analysis windows. Next, we calculated the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. The use of a chalk scale helps in audio analysis tasks and is used in training neural networks when working with speech. The use of mel-cepstral coefficients significantly improved the quality of recognition due to the fact that it made it possible to see the most informative coefficients. These coefficients have already been used as input to the neural network. The method with mel-frequency cepstral coefficients made it possible to reduce the input data for training, increase productivity, and improve recognition clarity.

The article considers the information modeling of the building frame of a complex shape in the plan. The Dynamo program for Autodesk Revit is used to build the geometry. The main goal was to achieve uniform color pressure maps when blowing a building using simulation modeling in an Autodesk CFD PC. The research method is numerical (finite element method). The LIRA-CAD software package was used. The finite element method was used to select the shape of the building and adjust its design scheme to achieve reliability and efficiency. The analysis of the structural elements of the object on the effect of wind loads, taking into account the pulsation component of the wind load, is carried out in order to improve the design decisions made.

The article presents a mathematical model for assessing the applicability of intelligent chatbots in the context of studying dialects of foreign languages. The model is based on the analysis of key parameters and characteristics of chatbots, as well as their ability to adapt to various dialects. The model's parameters include questions, answers, evaluation criteria, types, and costs of errors. The quality of the chatbot's responses is evaluated both according to individual criteria and overall. To test the effectiveness of the proposed method, an experimental study was conducted using the dialects of the German language as examples. During the research, such intelligent chatbots as ChatGPT-3.5, GPT-4, YouChat, Bard, DeepSeek, and Chatsonic were evaluated. The analysis of the results of applying the developed mathematical model showed that at present, the models by OpenAI (ChatGPT-3.5 and GPT-4) offer the broadest range of possibilities. ChatGPT-3.5 demonstrated the best results in communication in Bavarian and Austrian dialects, while YouChat excelled in the Swiss dialect. The obtained results allow for important practical recommendations to be made for selecting intelligent chatbots in the field of studying dialects of foreign languages and serve as a basis for further research in the area of evaluating the effectiveness of educational technologies based on artificial intelligence.

The growing complexity of industrial systems significantly increases the surface of possible cyber attacks, and therefore requires reliable methods for assessing the security of infrastructure. Modern methods of security assessment rely on working with a large amount of data, the presentation of which is often not standardized. One of these sources is the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base, which contains information about attacking techniques in a format that allows you to interact with it programmatically. This work is aimed at solving the problem of normalizing the fields of external sources describing the attacking technique in order to increase the efficiency of working with the repository described above. The method proposed in this paper is based on the possibility of the specification of the STIX language used to describe the data presented in MITRE ATT&CK to expand and use open dictionaries. The development of the proposed method was based on data on the attacking techniques of the Enterprise matrix, as the most complete among all domains of the ATT&CK knowledge base, however, the proposed method is independent and does not depend on a specific domain.

The work is devoted to the problems of strategic planning in the digital technology market. The aim of the work is to build a decision support procedure for choosing a strategy, based on internal (related to the characteristics of the firm choosing the strategy) and external (conditioned by the state of the market) factors. It is assumed that the elementary strategy is described by the type, direction and applied area of activity. In this case, the possibility of combining several elementary strategies is considered. The main result of the work is a procedure for choosing a combined strategy based on the application of a genetic algorithm. The use of the methodological apparatus of evolutionary calculations is due to the large number of possible options for combined strategies and the complexity of their evaluation, which makes a complete enumeration of options impractical. The final choice is made by the decision maker based on their own preferences.
