The current system of higher education has a focus on fundamentalization, through which students receive the necessary basic knowledge for self-education and the formation of a unified worldview scientific theory in the learning process. Mathematics occupies a special place in the system of Sciences. In training of future teachers of computer technologies mathematics has a significant role and is an important component of basic training. The paper presents the main objectives of mathematical training of students in information science, defines the concepts of "mathematical culture", "math training" and "algorithmic thinking" and describes their relationships. On the basis of mathematical training of students it is possible to form mathematical culture and algorithmic thinking. The paper discusses the main factors influencing low level of quality of mathematical training of future Computer Technologies teachers: a drop in the quality of mathematical training of University entrants, clip-thinking of contemporary students, the low interest of students to studying of disciplines of a mathematical cycle. To solve this problem, tha authors proposed a comprehensive approach based on the combination of methodological approaches, such as differentiated, system and personal-activity. Also, a hypothesis is proposed about the efficient use of information technology in teaching mathematics to increase the level of mathematical training of future Computer technologies teachers.

In the process of performing a complex of works on refueling of civil aviation aircraft, one of the key issues is to ensure flight safety by controlling the quality of aviation fuel directly during refueling operations. Currently, to ensure the purity of the refueled jet fuel, water separators with filter elements of a normalized degree of purification are installed on the aircraft refueling facilities, the operation of which in the working area provides normalized indicators of cleaning jet fuel from water and mechanical impurities. As practice shows, in the process of refueling aircraft, for various objective and subjective reasons, sometimes there are stochastic situations in which quality indicators go beyond the limits established by regulatory documentation and are not deterministic, and the subsequent state of such a system is described by values that characterize an extremely low level of jet fuel purification with negative consequences for flight safety. This paper presents a mathematical description of the functioning of water separator filters in the working area, where standardized indicators of the quality of aviation fuel are provided during the refueling of aircraft. The article deals with the issue of blocking the refueling of aircraft in the event of the appearance of non-normalized technical documentation indicators of the quality of aviation fuel, which arise due to a number of different factors that lead to negative cause-and-effect relationships for flight safety. Based on the mathematical description, an approach to creating a system for protecting and blocking the refueling process under the working name "Barrier" is proposed. Of the greatest interest for the study are typical water separator filters installed on refueling vehicles as terminal technical devices for fuel purification during refueling of aircraft.

Introduction . The field of augmented reality (AR) is growing rapidly and has great advances in interaction, navigation and tracking. Nowadays there are a lot of trends for AR applications in different areas (education, entertainment, business, medicine, etc.). However, there is a lack of research to provide the evaluating AR apps framework to support developers when creating suitable AR applications for specific needs. We provide a practical approach to quantify some of the AR applications features. We focus on the development of criteria for evaluating augmented reality applications. We discuss the criteria of choosing dimensions for that space such as standards for AR, tools for AR development, navigation and tracking, content management, usability. We provide analysis and evaluation of AR apps through each characteristic using guidelines which we have developed. Materials and Methods . An AR application is a software application that integrates digital visual, audio and other types of content into a real-world environment. The software quality and performance are the main characteristics of the application, which are key factors for AR applications. The analysis of scientific papers, documents and standards made it possible to determine characteristics that are the most significant quality indicators based on well-grounded users’ needs and demands. Results. The criteria we have developed for evaluating applications with augmented reality enable developers to create their own software products in stages, based on step-by-step requirements for them, evaluating the development process by characteristics. This approach will allow you to create high-quality software products using standardized, modern development tools. Discussion and Conclusions . In addition, developers will have a detailed understanding of each stage of creating the application and the necessary development tools and technologies to obtain the highest quality result. That will give an opportunity to decide on specific development tools, methods, models and technologies before starting work on a project. As a result, it will provide the final high-quality software product with good extensibility and compliance with the modern requirements of the digital industry market.

Growing vehicle variant diversity, legal requirements to reduce fleet CO2 emissions and innovations in the area of drive train technologies, coupled with the increasing pressure to cut costs, pose new challenges for parties in the automotive sector. An implementation of optimized development and production processes supports the effective handling of these challenges. One important aspect includes engineering efficiency improvement by optimizing the entire automotive bodywork development process and the involved data management. Research activities focus on the data exchange processes between design, simulation and production engineering within various CAx environments. This concerns constantly changing boundary conditions and requirements in the area of automotive body development, including but not limited to the introduction of new materials and material combinations and new types of joining technologies. From the viewpoint of an automotive engineering supplier, additional challenges caused by different customer-related development environments have to be considered. To overcome these challenges, various data exchange strategies between OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer), automotive suppliers and the use of different data management tools need to be investigated. In this context, the paper presents an approach of an optimized data exchange process of CAD-based data between different CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) environments that supports the entire body development, including data provision for manufacturing engineering. In addition, an optimization of data exchange processes saves development costs and improves the product quality.

The paper is devoted to studying the experience of Russian organizations in solving the problem of automation of one of the main HR functions — motivation and work incentives of employees of the organizations. After personnel administration, HR motivation management has become the second HR function, which is successfully automated in Russian organizations. The methodological basis of the study is a modern understanding of the theory of human capital. The research methodology provides for the reconstruction of the labor stimulation process based on the development and implementation of key performance indicators in conjunction with the automation processes of operational HR processes. The work results as follows: systematization of software that automates the basic processes for staff motivation; development of recommendations for HR departments on the development and implementation of an automated system of main performance indicators. The authors have proved that the correctly implemented automation of the HR function to calculate compensation and benefits during the transition to a more complex remuneration system makes it possible in practice not just to increase the economic results of the organization, but also to implement the fundamental principle of effective management — the principle of a fair assessment of the results of each employee’s work.

This paper presents a variant of using an artificial neural network (ANN) for adaptive learning. The main idea of using ANN is to apply it for a specific educational material, so that after completing the course or its separate topic, the student can determine, not only his level of knowledge, without the teacher’s participation, but also get some recommendations on what material needs to be studied further due to gaps in the studied issues. This approach allows you to build an individual learning trajectory, significantly reduce the time to study academic disciplines and improve the quality of the educational process. The training of an artificial neural network takes place according to the method of back propagation of an error. The developed ANN can be applied to study any academic discipline with a different number of topics and control questions. The research results are implemented and tested in the CATS adaptive training system. This system is the author's development.

The article deals with the modernization and adjustment of the fine chalk grinding process. The crushing process is an energy-consuming procedure, annually spent about 5% of all energy produced on Earth, including the energy of internal combustion engines. This indicates its great importance. In addition to the cost of electricity, large expenses go to repair the equipment. The greatest replacements are made on the main working parts of machines. In the course of substitutions a lot of time is spent, in order not to spend this rather important resource, it is necessary to approach this procedure from a scientific point of view. The organization and conduct of research on the replacement of the main working parts of crushers and mills will increase the productivity of the main equipment, improve the quality of the finished product and reduce production costs in terms of energy saving. Modernization and adjustment of technological equipment in order to improve the production process of fine chalk significantly increase the service life of the main equipment. For this purpose, it is proposed to conduct an active experiment. Before carrying out the experiment, it is necessary to set the model. The classical regression analysis is based on the assumption that the model type is a priori specified with accuracy to the parameters, and that an experiment has already been implemented that supplies the initial data for the regression construction. Hence, the problem is to choose the best method of data processing. In this paper, we propose a fundamentally new approach-automatic evaluation of the model options on a set of indicators, the calculation of which is based on a set of pareto-optimal variants of the model.The proposed method made it possible to identify two best alternatives out of 16384. Obviously, this approach can be easily modified for any other set of regression model quality criteria.

Introduction . Today, the issues of formation and assessment of professional competencies of students of the highest professional educational institutions are widely discussed in the scientific community. A large number of the Russian and foreign publications are devoted to the problems of competency-based approach. However, there is still no general technique for assessing a competency level formation as the characteristics of each program of training of specialists are so specific that it is impossible to build up a unified universal professional competency framework. The aim of the publication is to present the author’s methodology for assessing student courseworks in terms of the academic discipline “Databases” which is studied during a bachelor program “Business Informatics” based on the competency-based approach. Methodology and research methods. The research described in the publication is recognized as being empirical-exploratory and experimental. The content analysis of the Federal State Educational Standard of the Highest Education (FSES HE), the data mining technology and statistical methods of data processing were applied in the course of the present research. Results and scientific novelty. Taking into account the features of the competency-focused model of educational process and specifics of the field of vocational education, the criteria for assessing the quality of student courseworks are formulated. The relationship of these diagnostics criteria with the competencies stated in the educational standard is shown. This article demonstrates how it is possible to assess the general structure and separate sections of student courseworks using the means of the offered indicators. The following conclusions are drawn: 1) the system current control of professional competencies mastering is necessary for timely correcting of individual educational trajectories; 2) the assessment of professional competencies of students means diagnostics of preparation results including a large number of various criteria; 3) the unified approach to level formation measurement of professional competencies is impossible due to complexity and heterogeneity of their structure; 4) there is a need for the variability as well possibility of increase or reduction (association) of criteria for assessment of professional competencies in order to identify the most significant indicators of effectiveness and quality of a particular academic paper. Practical significance. The method provided enables to establish the relationship between contents of the training program and the requirements of FSES; to concretize assessment of competencies and to give reasons for its numerical indicators. Under a certain adaptation, this technique for assessment of student courseworks of economic and technical specialties can be applied for assessment of other academic works of students.

The purpose of this paper is to study changes in the conditions of the educational process associated with the development of information and communication technologies (ICT). Methods. The main methods of the study were the analysis of scientific publications and regulatory documents, observations, interviews, surveys and questionnaires of students, the data processing, interpretation and analysis. Results. By analogy with the Web-technologies, the concept of educational context (dynamically changing conditions in which educational content is studied) is introduced. Context of educational process can be understood as special conditions, which determine educational purpose; the way (technology) in which the content must be submitted and will be studied; the feedback it is assumed. The features of the ICT context (conditions, arising from the use of ICT), which are characteristic of the current level of information environment are noted. It is shown that some of the negative features (the formalization of teaching materials, excessive use of the computer testing due to it’s simplicity, the easiness of obtaining information, etc.), have been manifested in the education to a greater extent than the features, which can enrich the educational process (multimedia, computer modeling, communications). The results of tests and interviews with undergraduates and high school students have showed that the vast majority of students actively using ICT couldn’t explain the principle of the computer operations, the organization of the Internet or social networks, the search algorithms, etc. However, they are not interested in these issues. Teachers promote superficial approach using ICT only for office work and testing. The importance of the teacher’s role in the ICT context creation achieving adequate quality of education is proved. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The research results can be used while developing basic educational programs of teacher education. The system changes in the context of the educational process have been identified due to the negative aspects of informatization. The conclusion has been made on the need for special approach to the determination of the ICT courses content, serial appropriate combination of traditional educational technology and ICT in the educational process. It has been noted that the information educational environment of modern classical university creates the conditions for the preparation of future teachers who will be ready to solve such problems.

Processing of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products with the help of a variety of aids is one of the most urgent methods of solving the problem of increasing beverage storage duration. The paper shows the state of a beverage as a disperse system during the process. In the semi-finished products at the beginning of technological chain the process of diffusion is not determined, thus the system of beverages experiences sedimentary instability. The processing of semi-finished and finished beverages before pre-packaging by various technological supplementary means leads to the formation of sedimentary stability, in which a sedimentation - diffusion equilibrium takes place. The hypothetical model of the state of beverage disperse system under the influence of technological supplementary means is demonstrated. Disperse system of beverages can be exposed in three main positions: sedimentary unstable, stable (equilibrium), excessively stable. The brief overview of characteristic features of supplementary means is presented, the latter being used in beverage technology to ensure the stability of products with the help of research data presented by domestic and foreign authors. One of the variants of classification of processing aids is the usage of hierarchical method. Structural and technological characteristics of the subsidiary materials used for durability of beverage upon storage are presented as a classification basis. Signs and stages of classification are marked. The presented embodiment of classification methodology can serve as a basis for the selection of processing with the help of supplementary methods, based on individual characteristics of the structural properties of complex means and substances involved in turbidity formation, as well as for indication of the parameters of materials rational usage in the production line as one of the fundamental factors for the formation of finished products quality.
