This article considers the possibility of replacing part of the wheat flour with cereals made of buckwheat, rice and millet. The proposed solution will reduce the technological cycle of production of bakery products, which will reduce energy costs. On the other hand, the enterprises of the food industry will be able to reduce production residues and educate the consumer in the culture of rational nutrition. The authors considered the change in physical and chemical parameters of dough in the process of fermentation, proposed ways to optimize dough management.

In this article we will discus the usage feature of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) for the solution underground geotechnologies problems. One of the main problems by the usage GPR method is that the surface of the workings is shielded by metal elements of support (frames, fittings, tightening and other). In this article we suggest to use one- dimensional GPR-scanning method instead of traditional GPR-profiling method. We assume that the scanning will be performed on the development contour in areas free from shielding. For justification one- dimensional GPR method we propose a mathematical model for the propagation of an electromagnetic signal in an inhomogeneous medium based on classical equations of electrodynamics. We also present a numerical implementation of it, which confirms the validity of the accepted problem statement.

Shipbuilding is one of the most complex and labor-intensive branches of heavy industry in Russia. The shipbuilding market is characterized by features that relate to analysis, assessment of the current state, and forecasting. The work focuses on civil courts. First, the life cycle of shipbuilding products is longer than in other industries. From the moment of the development of the technical assignment to the beginning of the operation of the vessel, it takes from 3 to 10 years. At the same time, the transition from one stage to another - for example, from design to construction, can take years. As a result, it becomes almost impossible to analyze the entire life cycle of each vessel project. Secondly, the efficiency of the shipbuilding market is assessed not only by the number of ships delivered, but also by their cargo capacity - tonnage. Therefore, sea-going ships are characterized by large coefficients of completeness. However, for use on inland waterways, priority is given to the multifunctionality of the project. Thirdly, the shipbuilding industry is extremely poorly automated, which leads to the impossibility of using modern methods of assessing the shipbuilding market (there is not enough necessary information). Importantly, the shipbuilding industry in Russia limits its development by secrecy of large amounts of data.

The impact of coal mining in Kuzbass on the ecosystem of the region is studied in the article. Large-scale mining operations have led to land disturbance over large areas. The coal industry development program, which provides for a significant increase in production, will further aggravate the identified problem. There are a lot of reclamation mechanisms, they must be implemented comprehensively, be high-tech. Large-scale disturbance of land resources, and land retirement, its pollution and littering are the most significant problems requiring a primary solution. The mechanism of state and regional legal regulation of disturbed land reclamation is proposed. Improving the quality of reclamation will be facilitated by the development of a strategy for the environmental remediation, which would be included into the Concept for reclamation of disturbed lands.

A nonlinear control of a PV Energy Conversion System (PVECS) with energy storage system and maximum power extraction is presented. The control strategy is designed in two steps. Firstly, a MPPT algorithm is designed to tracking the maximum power point in variable irradiations, battery state of charge (SOC) and load changes. Then, thanks to its many advantages such as simplicity against parameter uncertainties, a Sliding Mode Control approach (SMC) is applied to control the standalone PV energy conversion system. Finally, the performances of MPPT techniques and SMC controller in the closed loop are checked using the MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This paper focuses on the visualization of eco problems and the latest green technologies, including energy-saving. Today, there are four color-graphic means in advertising: photography, graphics (drawing or computer graphics), font compositions, and often a combination of these. Our study considers the imagery and stylistics of eco poster as a type of public advertising, and ascertains that in the subject of energy-saving a light bulb as the visual stereotype prevails. The paper indicates the importance of system design thinking, the use of creative approaches in the educational process of designers (metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, association, allegory also) in creating social appeals for a wide audience – from young children to the older generation. Moreover, it emphasized the social value of design, and the aesthetic, moral as well as communicative aspects of visual information of environmental orientation within the context of this study.

The article describes the results of the study on determining the influence of mining companies on the level of social development of the regions in which they are functioning. The analysis of formation and distribution structure of taxes, the dynamics of average wages, the quality of life, social satisfaction and entrepreneurial confidence allow the authors to make the conclusions about the need for changing the financial policies of the regions in relation to companies in the industry. In particular, it is proposed to use the mechanism of deferred tax payments which will lead to an increase in the efficiency of the activities of both the mining companies themselves and the regions afterward.

The problem of the municipal solid waste (MSW) formation and recycling has been very important for many decades in the Russian Federation. The sustainable development of the Russian Federation subjects and municipalities, their evolution to the status of “smart cities” is not possible without solving this problem. The current situation in the area of SHW treatment leads to the dangerous environmental pollution, improper use of the natural resources, and the significant economic damage and poses a threat to the health of the present and future generations of the country. The authors examine the issues of implementation of the changes in the field of municipal solid waste management legislation. The problems of the comprehensive waste management are also discussed on the example of the Sverdlovsk region (Sverdlovskaya Oblast).
