The paper introduces the characteristics of the turbines in a stationary stream. Based on these characteristics it is shown that the turbines which design was based on N. Midzumati method are a little bit more effective than the turbines designed by the Lagrange multipliers method, but they are behind the latter in the effective power. The paper introduces the characteristics of the turbines in a non-stationary stream of the combined engine. Based on these characteristics it is shown, that the turbines, designed by the method of N. Midzumati, are more effective than the turbines, designed by the Lagrange multipliers method. When operating in the structure of the combined engine, the turbines, designed by the method of N. Midzumati, are behind the turbines, designed by the Lagrange uncertain multipliers method, in the effective power. As a result of numerical implementation of the complex calculation method the authors obtained the geometrical analogue of the turbine flowing part in ТKR-11 turbocharger. When operating in the structure of the complex engine it allows to use effectively non-stationary stream from a piston part and decreasing the specific charge of fuel.

Relevance of the work is related to the research of efficiency of using electric field for sedimentation of concrete substances to clean the room of aerosol pollution. Development of methods of ensuring purity of the environment and surface in closed working rooms, especially in the conditions of the developing production technologies, medicine and conditions of a person life support, are always actual and timely. The aim of the research is pilot and theoretical study of sedimentation at electric field interaction with particles of fine aerosols; based on the research to develop the effective ways of collecting various harmful substances from air and cleaning working room surface. Research methods: the optical diagnostics of an aerosol based on a method of low-angle dispersion with use of the laser measuring LID-2M complex and technology of laser diffraction (Malvern Spraytec analyzer); the tensometric method of weight measurement; the ejector dispersion method; the method of mechanical crushing of the dispersed powders. Results. The paper demonstrates the charge of aerosol particles at crown category. The authors have carried out the pilot studies of the model substances dispersion affected by the electric field and without it. The values of change in dispersion and mass concentration of the produced aerosol were obtained during the experiment by means of the laser LID-2M measuring machine. It was experimentally determined that the speed of aerosol particles sedimentation affected by the electric field increases several times, but not for all studied substances, large particles of aero force will quicker settle under gravitation. The authors calculated the characteristic speeds arising in the course of aerosol evolution for model substances. The paper introduces the comparative analysis of speeds of particle convective distribution in space, gravitational sedimentation and drift of aerosol cloud particles under electric forces. Based on the analysis it is possible to establish the effectiveness of using the electric field for sedimentation of concrete substance with certain dispersion. The data obtained should be considered as well when designing new installations of electric precipitators.

Mechanical source effect on the ground is a seismic wave generation technology widely used in minerals seismic exploration. Force effect and low-frequency vibration generation systems are advantageous because of electromagnet-based electromechanical energy converters. The improvement of such converters design methods is an actual problem. This concerns especially the issues of considering the influence of steel elements saturation in magnetic core construction and losses of active power caused by eddy currents. The aim of the research is to design the electromagnetic converter dynamic model and to develop stable design algorithms with structure modeling methods in Matlab Simulink which are capable of analyzing non-stationary electromagnetic processes with respect to steel elements saturation and eddy-current losses. Research methods. Electromagnetic processes have been simulated in Matlab 7/12/0 (R2011a) Simulink. Results. The paper introduces the mathematical description of power losses with respect to equality of losses in magnetic core ferromagnetic elements and in the short-circuit contour when current is sinusoidal. The losses influence is approximately taken into account as an additional short-circuit contour linked with the main magnetic flux generated by the magnetizing winding of the inductor. The design model consists of electrical and magnetic balance differential equations derived for a non-linear equivalent circuit of the inductor. This model permits to take into account eddy currents in the solid magnetic core and leakage fluxes. The proposed design algorithms and circuit implementation of dynamical models of a non-linear inductor obtained by structured simulation can be accepted as the base of the design of dynamical operation processes in power electromagnetic vibroimpact drives to improve their characteristics. The results of calculations with the algorithms stated in the paper completely agree with classical statements of the non-linear electrical circuit theory and physical experiments results. Some examples of calculations approving structured simulation results coincide qualitatively with physical experiment results. There are several recommendations for choosing electromagnetic converter structured model parameters providing design algorithms stability.

Relevance of the research is caused by the need to explore new mechanisms that differ in structure from the Assyrians ones, for their subsequent usage in engineering practice. The main aim of the study is to study and development the universal method for researching mechanisms regardless of their structure, as well as the link adopted as the fixed one, on the example of kinematic study of a new patented not-assurian mechanism; to define the transition tensors for the kinematic pairs used in this mechanism; to obtain graphic dependences of the relative links positions to the input member. The methods used in the study: analytical method for converting homogeneous coordinates, known as a method of screw affinors. Euler angles were used to determine the relative angular displacement of links. The results. The authors have made an algorithm for studying the mechanisms, including not-assurian ones and determined the transformation tensors for one-mobile rotational kinematic pair of V class, for two-moving pair of IV class, implemented on the basis of the hydraulic cylinder and the piston and three-moving spherical joint of the III class. The graphic dependences of all unknown variables determining relative position of links of the studied mechanism in space were obtained. Conclusions. The paper substantiates the universal method for researching mechanisms regardless of their structure. If the mechanism is synthesized on the basis of the closed Grubler circuit, and its kinematics is researched by the considered methods, the universal solution for a group of analogical mechanisms, that have different link, adopted as a fixed rack, were obtained. The paper introduces the algorithm of creating the transition tensor from one coordinate system to another. A similar approach allows describing analytically any kind of relative connection of two adjacent links, which is not discussed in the article. Practical application. At rod pump operation in pumping units of the mechanized installations oil pump, the reciprocating movement is used. It is obtained by means of the rod pumping unit. If the spatial four-link mechanism is set in motion by means of the piston, the reciprocating movement of the output member will be assured. This can be used as an analogue of pumping units in oil mechanized installations.

The relevance of the work is caused by the need to develop a pneumatic perforator with low airflow. The aim of the research is to study the regularities of the distribution device operation and data obtain to develop energy-saving design of the perforator with low airflow. Research methods: experimental strain gauge instrumentation with sensors and air mass flow. The data were computer analyzed. Results. The paper introduces the results of experimental studies of the new hammer mechanism with two standalone distribution valve bodies of the pneumatic rock drill PC-75M. It has been affirmed that the use of a single distribution body in the shocking mechanism does not allow implementing a cost effective cycle of the mechanism operation. By the example of this device, the author substantiates the idea that the use of switchgear distribution with two bodies, managing separately by the working chambers, can significantly reduce air consumption. The paper describes the impactor core drill construction and the switchboard operation. The influence of the mass, size and stroke of the distribution bodies on the workflows in the chambers and the switchgear operation was studied. The author obtained the dependences of energy, power and time characteristics of the impact mechanism and its elements and identified the areas of the valves stable operation. It is shown that working chambers were cut-off from the network in the shocking mechanism by the moment of the exhaust windows opening. The author worked out the proposals on further increase of the hammer mechanism performance and defined the flow characteristics in the section of the intake line of the forward stroke chamber. The paper shows the nature of the processes occurring in the command channel. The influence of the command channel area on energy and power characteristics of the mechanism and the switchgear operation was studied experimentally. The authors studied as well the influence of the inlet channels area of the reverse camera on the hammer mechanism operation. The airflow of the new mechanism was 3,8 m3 /min, the total noise of the rock drill PC-75M is 8-10 dB lower than that of the rock drill PC-75.

The main aim of the research is to develop the hydro-morphostructural method of constructing large-scale depth-to-water maps of aquifer. This method allows developing the maps providing the limited background information on groundwater levels in wells. The paper introduces a new approach to map developing based on a deterministic model of controlling pressure field aquifers - the model of relief morphostructure. All existing methods and technologies apply probabilistic models of pressure distribution in mapping hydroisohyps. The paper introduces: statement of the research subject and the problem to be solved by the development technique; adopted content of basic concepts; brief description of hydrogeological conditions of the object; points of morphostructural-hydrogeological analysis; rules for implementing the provisions in the method of constructing large-scale predictive depth-to-water maps; depth-to-water map generated on the basis of relief morphological structure model for the area of groundwater mining enterprise and evaluation of its accuracy; comparative evaluations of two methods of mapping - the developed and adopted ones. The main difference of the methods is their modeling content, or foundation. The developed technique is based on a deterministic model of filtration flow structure dependence on relief morphostructure. The adopted technique is based on probabilistic models of pressure distribution at the observation points. In the development method the position of linear and areal elements of filtration flow structure which are prominent in the pressure field are given permanent in space and time by the model of relief morphostructure. In the adopted ones this position is uncertain. The requirements are different for the scope of the initial information satisfying some standards of accuracy. When constructing the map by the development method the precision in reflecting the filtration flow structure and spatial distribution of characteristics of its pressure field is determined by the finite and small number of wells. To obtain the same accuracy of the maps with construction according to the accepted procedures one requires greater amount of initial information.

This paper considers the topicality of developing techniques for gas generation from solid fuels and its application in power installations, including cogeneration. Low temperature technologies with thermo-chemical coal conversion in fluidized bed reactors are the most perspective ones. The authors have developed the construction of two zone gas reactor with fluidized bed and studied its operation in set of electrical power station with gas pump engine cycles, or in combined cycles. The reactor works with air coal gasification. Zones of fuel input and product (clean synth-gas without resin) output the part of which is combusting in reactor for autothermal process running are separated. The authors propose the chemical-kinetic model of gasification to calculate the output synth-gas composition along the reaction zone height and at outlet from the reactor. The gasification process optimization along the temperature in gasification zone was done according to this model. The optimal temperature of the process corresponds to maximum output of synth-gas. The paper introduces the experimental data of theoretical calculations in gas reactor with fluidized bed. As a result, the optimal temperature value was determined as 820 °C, the output synth-gas part was 0,92 for Borodinsky coal. The output synth-gas with its composition and combustion heat values can be used as a low-cal fuel in combustion cameras of electrical power stations with gas pump engines and in combined cycles with two step air heating, that requires more researches and development of this technology.

The relevance of the research is caused by the complexity in predicting gas-dynamic processes and their influence on gas-make in the operating panels when mining gas bearing coal deposits; as well as the need to utilise mining equipment in accordance with its specified capability, except the equipment downtime due to the gas factor at coal mining. The aim of the research is to study the extraction of in-situ coal mass in small dip angles; to form gas-dynamic events and to identify the problems in calculating gas-make when mining coal deposits in order to ensure safety standards at coal and methane production on industrial scale. The authors have studied geomechanical and gasodynamic processes which occur while mining at development of gas-bearing coal fields. The paper considers the problem issues of calculating gas release into an extraction district. The paper introduces the methods for decreasing natural gas content by the mining start relating to a complex approach to the scheme of exploration wells distribution at the stage of exploration works planning. The authors proposed to use these wells for different kinds of coal bed degasification and methane production in industrial scale. Application of the methods allows excluding the possibility of unexpected massive gas-make in mining heading and ensures safety regulations for mining in coal mines. Results. Pre-production gas drainage of working and adjacent seams using exploratory boreholes prior to commencing mining of the deposit via underground method, will significantly reduce gas-make into development headings and production area, ensuring safe coal mining and gas extraction. Use of exploratory boreholes for gas drainage reduces the costs of implementing measures to reduce the natural gas content; it allows automated methane extraction on industrial scale.

The relevance of the discussed issue is caused by the need of researching petro-geochemistry and petrologic peculiarities of gabbrogranitoid complexes which are related with gold-copper-skarn ore mineralization. The main aim of the research is to study geochemistry of rock types of Topolninsky complex in Gornyn Altai using canonic classification and experimental diagrams on genesis and petrology of magmatites. The methods used in the study. Chemical composition on the major petrogenic elements was determined by silicate assay by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. Rare elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma on the mass spectrometry «ОРTIMA-4300», for Cu, Zn, Pb, Li - by methods of ISP-AES, the rest elements, including REE wre determined by ISP-MS methods in the VSEGEI Laboratory (St-Petersburg). Absolute age of granitoids was defined by U-Pb method SHRIMP II on zircon in the VSEGEI Laboratory (St-Petersburg). Results. The authors have corrected the absolute age of granitoids formation in Topolninsky complex. For Topolninsky massif by 10 point it is 397,4-4,4 million years, for Karaminsky massif it is 399,3-4,6 million years, corresponding to a border of Lower and Middle Devonian. The paper describes a direct zoning in Karaminsky massif formation. More evolution phases of leucogranites in it are located in the center of massif but early gabbros are on the periphery. The authors estimated different petrochemical coefficients, indices, modules for the rocks of the complex used for decoding the genesis. The ratios of strontium isotopes (87Sr/86 Sr for granodiorites of Topolninsky massif is 0,70556, but for Karaminsk leucogranites is 0,70618) identify mantle nature of melts, formed with crust material contamination. The paper indicates the space and paragenetic relation of different types of ore mineralization with granitoids of Topolninsky complex.

The relevance of the research. At the moment mining industry production in Russia increases. But geological sector is no longer able to provide necessary increase in reserves for the extractive industries, which is caused not only by the gradual depletion of mineral resource base of the country and other objective reasons, but by work organization in the industry as well. Over the years the development of the geological sector was hindered by a number of barriers related to the imperfection of the legal framework and, as a consequence, to the administration inefficiency. The main aim of the study is to identify the main problems of state regulation in geological industry and possible solutions; to show how the change in certain provisions of the regulatory framework for the natural reserves use can reduce the cost of exploration work, delays in obtaining permits and, as a consequence, the temporal duration of geological exploration itself. The methods of study: the analysis of some features of state regulation in geological industry as well as the study of certain legislative framework provisions for geological exploration in Russian Federation. The paper provides as well the assessment of practical relevance and feasibility of individual regulations and comparison between organization of geological exploration in Russia and in foreign countries. Results: The author has found out the most important issues that can be solved by introducing amendments to the existing legislation and has given the economic substantiation of inconsistency of certain legal provisions to the principles of modern market economy. The paper demonstrates the way these problems are solved in other developed countries. The author developed the proposals for improving the state regulation of geological exploration. Conclusions. The proposals for solving the identified problems have both legal and economic components. Implementation of the pro-posed recommendations would improve the state of geological industry in Russia due to changes in the legal framework. The solution of the problems identified would not require additional financial investments and would also reduce the temporal duration of geological exploration and cut unnecessary expenses of geological enterprises.

The paper assesses the implementation of Russia catching up development strategy. The methodological approach and the technique of evaluation of the catching up strategy as a special case of a comprehensive evaluation of the innovative development effectiveness were developed. The author has proposed five main types of results of catching up development strategy implementation: economic, social, territorial (spatial distribution of new production facilities) results, the impact on national safety, the assessment of science - innovation - investment - business connections. For each type of results the indicators for evaluation were identified. The technique was tested in practice by the example of DM subsection "Manufacture of transport equipment" of Russian manufacturing industry, which signs of the catching up strategy development are the most pronounced. The assessment revealed both positive effects of implemented strategy and the negative ones. The paper introduces the recommendations on solution of the problems occurred. The methodology of the comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness should be used when designing the innovative strategies and monitoring the results of their implementation at the national, regional and separate industry sectors levels.

In order to get a holistic view of a relatively complex object, a new and thus not yet well-established concept of "smart field", as well as to identify the main components and relations between them it makes sense to create the ontology of this concept. The paper proposes the ontology of a "smart field" object based on its decomposition by mining objects, field geological properties, main monitoring areas, composition of mining models, and software systems supplied by leading international vendors. The authors show some fragments of the ontology in OWL 2 language using Manchester syntax. The paper introduces the example of using the ontology in a decision support system. The proposed ontology can be used in implementing projects related to description and development of "smart fields" and to workflow monitoring.

Diagnostics of mechanisms and systems allows estimating their current state and taking measures if necessary to carry out preventive or other actions for elimination of possible malfunctions.

The relevance of the work is caused by increasing concern of the scientific community about the scale of an individual distance from society and by the mainstreaming the problems of social vitality in this context. The main aim of the research is to reveal the essence of epiphenomenon «personality social devitalisation» comparing opposite-type worldviews of scientific positions. It is no coincidence that the concepts of scientists analyzed by the author were chosen - pessimistically-tuned J. Ortega y Gasset was a pioneer in using the concept «devitalization» in relation to social life and social optimist A. Toffler, without using the above concept, reveals and complements it with his ideas and formulations. Test method: dialectical, due to the specific character of the research subject. Results. The concept «social devitalization of personality» proposed by the author to explain certain trends observed in recent years in the society is disclosed in comparing different and complementary points of view simultaneously. The theory of the Spanish philosopher J. Ortegi y Gasset became the background for introducing this concept; but the essence of the concept is better disclosed in papers of A. Toffler. The author of the paper noted the following facts: if Ortega introduced the concept of devitalization but did not consider it necessary to give a concrete definition of the term in a social context, then A. Toffler, presenting his own concept of the «Third Wave» to the world, characterizes definitely the concept in the Second Modernity, without using the category «devitalization». Devitalization for Ortega is loneliness and isolation from the roots. Pointing to the loneliness Toffler states as well that loneliness is a consequence of confrontation of being dragged into a crowd and it is distancing from the pressure of a social space.

A three-mass system is defined by six parameters (three weights and three rigidity), and these six parameters are fixed. Relevance. The problem of defining the maximum stability degree is an essential and urgent topic of the linear theory of automatic control. The paper considers the maximum stability degree for a class of objects which are considered most often as models. Research objectives. Any three-mass system, that is any masses and rigidity, is considered as a control object. This three-mass system is considered as a singlechannel, operated by a regulator 3/3 (polynomial of a degree no more than 3 is the numerator of a transfer function, and a denominator is a polynomial of degree 3). Steering force is applied to the weight closest to the motionless basis; adjustable size is a deviation of the third weight. The paper considers as well the case when the steering force is applied to the weight most remote from the basis, and the adjustable size is a deviation of the first weight. The maximum (limiting) stability degree is investigated. The paper is guided first of all by the following statement proved in earlier and more volume research: for any three mass systems the maximum stability degree is provided by controllers for which the roots of a characteristic polynomial with the greatest material part form quadruple complex pair. Methods. For any fixed object, running controllers 3/3, the characteristic polynomials form some class of polynomials of the ninth degree with the senior factor 1 with two linear communications. In the class of these polynomials the steady polynomial with the maximum stability degree is sought. Then the controller providing this stability is restored by this polynomial. Results. The position of the ninth root depends only on value of an object one parameter. The paper introduces the instruction on calculation of this parameter of the object, the maximum stability degree, a characteristic polynomial and a controller 3/3 providing this stability. The calculations were carried out on the following example: weights and rigidity are equal to a unit. It turned out that in this case the ninth root of a characteristic polynomial is not the most right. Conclusions. The paper can form a basis of a technique of calculating the maximum stability degree and lower-order controllers providing this stability, and for other operated singlechannel lower-order systems.

The relevance of the work is caused by the fact that the information technology effectiveness in the system of controlling evolution of organizational-technological system in the conditions of uncertainty and risk depends first of all on the way the people using the technologies identify and perceive objective evidences of the emerging situations, build assessments, form new knowledge, develop and coordinate behaviors. The main aim of the research is to justify the possibility of using interactive, iterative procedures in coordinated planning tasks for identifying technological reserves and ensuring progressive evolution of organizational and technological systems by maximum complete use of production staff creative potential. Research methods: general methodology and methods of system analysis, simulation and modeling, the methods of theories: fuzzy sets, active systems, decision making, artificial intelligence, fuzzy systems and fuzzy logic, game theory. Results. The authors have investigated the convergence of interactive procedure of the agreed optimization in the task of controlling evolution of organizational-technological system, consisting of a centre and m agents at different types of center awareness on agent abilities. In the case of complete centre awareness it was shown that the solution to the problem of optimal coordinated planning will be implemented by the agents, if stimulus and the plan are found under which the specific value of the purposeful state situation will exceed the value of the same indicator for all other variants. For the case of incomplete centre awareness it was shown that the convergence to the optimal solution will be provided by additional agent stimulating for a more complete disclosure of their capabilities. The paper introduces the iterative procedure using the idea of Polterovich block programming algorithm. The author formulated the condition for its convergence. For the case of center incomplete awareness on agent preferences it was shown that the solution can be obtained applying an iterative algorithm which uses a relaxation scheme of conditional gradient. The paper introduces the conditions under which one can build the procedure of the interactive information exchange between the center and the agents that guarantee the convergence of the solution of coordinated optimization task. The authors carried out the experimental validation of the approach proposed in the development of the production program for producing refrigerants and fluoropolymers.

This paper outlines the main problems in the theory, calculation and optimal design of electromagnetic device, gives optimal ratio of electromagnetic device structures based on conditions of mass minimum of active materials required for their manufacturing. The authors have considered the examples of optimum design of electromagnetic devices conforming the reliability requirements of the calculations carried out and the validity of the results obtained. The paper introduces a comparative analysis of electromagnetic device designs by the condition of mass minimum of active materials having magnetic cores based on the W- and U-shaped electrical iron with one and two field windings, and armored cylindrical magnetic cores, cylindrical body and an anchor in the form of staples while providing the set output parameters (traction or power). It is shown that the mass of electromagnetic devices based on magnetic cores with two field windings is by 10-30 % less than that with one coil. By the example of designing electromagnetic actuator of a piston compressor and using the software developed the authors studied optimum operating conditions for a given energy conversion of electromagnetic device armature law of motion. Maximum of electromagnetic device efficiency was accepted as the optimality criterion when solving the problem. The impact of eddy currents in steel on drive energy performance is accounted by synthesizing multi-loop equivalent circuits of electromagnetic device. Calculation of magnetic field in determining static characteristics of electromagnetic devices is carried out by the method of magnetic flux probable path. The developed algorithms and programs for optimal design of electromagnetic devices have novelty and practical significance.

Relevance of the work is caused by the fact that at the present time in the field of new energy-saving electrotechnologies for heating non-ferrous metals products the focus is on induction heating in a transverse magnetic field. A large range of products with rectangular cross-section made of non-ferrous metals turned out not to be covered by the heating method in a transverse magnetic field. Currently such products are heated in the induction heating installations in alternating longitudinal magnetic field while electrical efficiency is not greater than 0,5. The attractiveness of such products heating in the transverse rotating magnetic field of permanent magnets is its potential to achieve electrical efficiency equal to 0,75-0,85. The paper considers the carried out studies of heating aluminum products with rectangular cross-section to a temperature of 550 °C. The main aim of the study is to develop a numerical model on the basis of the program package ANSYS for calculating electromagnetic parameters of system "inductor-product" and the temperature field in the heated product; to calculate distributions of electromagnetic and temperature fields parameters in the heated product. The methods used in the study: The main instrument of the study is the software package ANSYS, which allows modeling different spatial physical systems which behavior can be described by the differential equations. The finite element method was taken as the basic one. It allows dividing a continuous problem domain having an infinite number of freedom degrees into a finite, but sufficiently large, number of areas where parameters are constant. Physical properties and external influences are concentrated in the nodes of the system. The results: The developed model allows calculating the coupled electromagnetic and thermal problems of heating non-magnetic product with rectangular cross-section in rotating magnetic field of permanent magnets. The paper introduces the dependencies of the maximum temperature differences obtained in the cross-sections of rectangular products made of aluminum. The dependencies are given as functions of rotational speed of permanent magnets, producing a transverse magnetic field, the number of pole pairs of the magnets and the gap between the heated product and magnets.

Relevance of the work is determined by the need to protect the steam circuit of TPP units from the parking atmospheric corrosion at inactivity. The main aim of the study is to carry out the comparative analysis of air dehumidification options in TPP-steam circuit using silica gel, placing it in disposable containers, or using a fluidized bed. The methods used in the study: based on the tested methods of forecasting the performance of installations for air drying from water vapor by adsorbents the authors evaluated their applicability in the operating conditions in the steam circuit TPP units. The results: The paper considers the task of conserving TPP units by absorbents (silica gel, zeolites etc.) widely used when drying and separating gases and liquids at flue gas carbon dioxide removal. As it is noted when maintaining the required moister in closed volumes the drying occurs in static conditions. Silica gel is humidified at low speed which generally depends on its grain size. Moisture capacity of silica gel at fixed relative gas humidity changes insufficiently. The paper considers as well the variant of configuration of the unit for air drying in steam and water tract of TPP by the absorbent grains in fluidized bed where absorbent particle interact to each other and to inner parts of the device. In industrial absorption units such kind of device with continuous operation is often used. It is efficient when capturing target components from outgoing gas high flows. It was ascertained that in order to reduce from 98 to 20 % relative humidity of air filling the tank with a capacity of 10 m3 , one kilo of silica gel with a minimum of technical water capacity of 0,2 is required; it is 25 times less than the value recommended in the rules of technical operation. Similar results were obtained in the framework of the adsorption fluidized bed. The required weight of silica gel is 7...12 kilos for drying moist air at a flow rate corresponding to the adsorption industry. But this scheme is more difficult to be accommodated within the TPP units steam circuit.

The paper describes the technique, design and operation principle of new devices for analyzing dust particulate materials. The article considers the concept of integrated models and constructions of certain devices and systems to analyze dust particulate materials. The concept combines new and existing complementary methods, and means of analysis of dust particulate materials. The work is devoted to investigation of estimation problem for different logical models and mode of operation of new devices for the analysis of dust particulate materials. Application of the devices proposed can significantly reduce duration of analysis in comparison with the known methods: in one device the separation of the particle size is done by sedimentometer, in another device - by particle motion rate in the air. The paper considers the concept of integrated ecology problems which combines complementary methods and devices for the analysis of dust particulate materials and powders disperse composition. The authors propose the methodology for calculating the efficiency of the developed dedusting systems: the centrifugal inertia with air exhaust louver, wet and magnetic ones. It is shown that the account of equations of parameters connections in new devices applying a new analyzing technique for powder and dedusting materialsparticle distribution determines the difference from zero of estimations approximations. It allows solving the estimation problem of particle sizes, fractions, control and diagnosis out-of-frame of traditional approaches to the problem solution.

As a result the differences in permeability estimation were determined. The validity of petrounits selection of J1-3 horizon was confirmed. Presence of high permeable layers in J1-3 horizon and its diagnostic characteristics were determined from porosity to permeability values correlation. The paper describes thegeological reasons of increasing permeability values of J1-3 horizon

The paper describes the creation of symbols (as granting cultural phenomena, determined by cultural and historical context, with symbolic value) by the people of the Russia North. The research is devoted to the system of images underlying national thinking of people of the Russia North (Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Tungus-Manchurian, Turkic, Chukchi-Koryak, Eskimo-Aleut groups). The key issue of the paper is to analyze the mechanisms of converting the bird image to a symbol by the example of sacral culture of the people of the Russian North. Studying various empirical data revealing the features of creating symbols of the Russian North the authors have applied the dialectical method that promotes considering a thing in unity and diversity of its properties; the semiotic analysis and systematic approach that allows considering the art language of the people of the Russian North as certain integrity open to be changed. Having summarized the data of theoretical studies of archaeological and ethnographic material and having analyzed the system of images in arts and crafts the authors made a conclusion that the indigenous people of the Russian North have preserved national traditions, where the memory of the mythological and totemic images of demiurge birds is alive. These images are acquired the value of a symbol in evolution. Practice indicates that the symbol as a universal category of artistic creation, is functioning on all levels of organizing language system in the culture of the people of the Russian North. Cosmogonic and totemic views of the Russian North people contribute to occurrence of ornithomorphic symbols used in their artistic practice where the loon image was of great importance. The image impersonates the feminine, well-being and happiness; it was perceived as a mediator between the upper and the lower world

The purpose of the work is to find out the transformations of sedate functions given on fractals under their fractional integration and fractional differentiation (fractional integrodifferentiation), in spaces of non-integral dimension with the following transformations of sedate functions into integral dimension spaces. Owing to changes in physical dimension and in fractal linear sizes under fractional integrodifferentiation the changes should be corrected for their further consideration in spaces with integer number of measurements. The methods of the study: mathematical transformations based on local d-operator of fractional differentiation and fractional integration, acting in sedate function space. The results: The paper introduces the factors of dimension adjustment to co-ordinate physical dimension in spaces with non-integral and integral dimensions. For co-ordination of changes in fractal linear sizes when turning into spaces with integer number of measurements it is necessary to enter the factors called the scale factors. The paper introduces the important quotient events of scale factor.

Study of anthropogenically affected landscape's transformation is essential to ensure the sustainable development of territories. The paper considers the methodical issues to evaluate the transformation of landscapes by oil and gas production complex. The authors have used the points-based assessment and method of multidimensional medium. The results of landscapes geoecological analysis in oil and gas production fields of the Orenburg region's steppe zone are introduced in the paper. The analysis was performed on the base of twelve indicators describing the amount of the technogeneous load. There is a possibility to use medium-resolution satellite imagery to evaluate the transformation of landscapes. It is possible to define the presence of manmade objects in the borders of the oil and gas fields in the territory mainly used for agricultural purposes. However, it is difficult to define the density of drills and the number of nodal structures of oil and gas fields using only satellite imagery within the agricultural territories.

The method is based on the analysis of indications of pressure gages located at the beginning and the end of a pipe, and along the pipeline. The paper describes the formulas for calculating leak coordinate and mass rate according to the offered modified method of hydraulic location. The experimental studies of the method and the rated formulas were carried out on the pipeline for pumping summer diesel fuel. The paper demonstrates the possibility of practical application of the described formulas on the offered method for determining leak parameters on the main pipelines. When analyzing the experimental results the author determined the dependences of calculation errors of leak coordinates and mass rate on location of pressure measurement devices in the pipeline.

The study subject of the paper is the sulphide mineralization of rocks of the Kingashsky dunite-wehrlite-picritic massif, which is the standard of an object of ultramafic complex in the Kan block (north-western part of the Eastern Sayan) with the same name and which includes eponymous large Cu-Ni deposit with PGE. Despite the increased interest of many researchers to the massif, a number of issues on its petrological nature and mechanisms of formation and localization of Pt-Cu-Ni ores in it are still controversial. The paper attempts to trace the evolution of the material composition of sulfide melt at formation of the massif rocks and their subsequent metamorphic changes. The paper introduces typomorphism, mineral and chemical composition of sulfide minerals. The carried out studies show that sulphide mineralization is spatially associated with all breeds of Kingashsky array, but the ore industrial amounts are mainly found out in dunites. The features of sulfide association indicate high iron index in Kingashskaya ore-magmatic system as a whole and brings it closer to the copper-nickel deposits of the Early Proterozoic. The genetic feature of sulfide mineralization of the Kingashsky massif is relatively rapid temperature decrease of sulfide melt without its significant fractionation at high rate of magma transportation from the magmatic chamber into the upper floors of the lithosphere. Typomorphic characteristics and chemical composition of sulfide minerals, their relationship and paragenesis allowed supposing two stages in formation of the noted mineralization (magmatic and low temperature epimagmatic) as well as reconstructing the evolution of sulfide melt when crystallizing massif rocks.
