The paper presents the results of developing a program for mathematical modeling of molecular dynamics processes in crystal structures using the MatLab software package. The theoretical part describes the differential equations for simulation, their initial and boundary conditions, and the difference approximation. A method was chosen based on the principle of modeling molecular dynamics using one of the pair potentials, namely the Lennard-Jones potential. In the practical part, the chaotic motion (migration) of atoms in 2D and 3D crystal lattices has been simulated. The distribution over the computational cell and the migration of atoms beyond its limits are shown. The dependence between the bound energies in real metals and the computational model has been determined. The potential of interaction has been determined, which turns out to be positive. The developed program showed high accuracy of simulation results, as well as higher speed compared to other similar programs for molecular dynamics simulation.

The article considers such a relevant problem as innovative technologies of environmentally sound design of Mirny Airport. Mirny Airport provides air communication with the largest cities of Russia. It is also a reserve airport for transcontinental routes from North America and Europe to Asia. The article develops a methodological approach to the environmentally sound design of Mirny Airport, taking into account low-waste and zero waste technologies. Unlike the existing ones, the design is based on the continuous monitoring of the corresponding technology parameters. A system of indicators for assessing the environmental efficiency of sound airport design, taking into account industrial waste treatment, is proposed. The authors imply the system shall include management efficiency indicators, performance indicators and environmental impact indicators of sound airport design. The theoretical basis of the article includes scientific methodological and theoretical developments of domestic and foreign scientists, theorists and practitioners in the area of environmentally sound design revealing issues related to the adoption of management technologies for minimizing the negative environmental impact by airlines. The following research methods were used in the article: analytical, economic-statistical, monographic, computational-constructive, graphical method, abstract-logical.

The article shows the results of the development of an automated control system for the distillation of oil in a distillation column, which makes it possible to save the environment. In the theoretical part, the process of distillation of crude oil in a distillation column is described and its technological scheme is given for atmospheric distillation with a single evaporation of oil. In the calculation part, the heat and material balance of mass transfer in the rectification column has been analyzed. In the practical part, the problems of installing process control instruments, improving the emergency shutdown system reliability, expanding the automatic and automated monitoring and control functions, and improving the process control and facility performance analysis quality have been solved. The authors used the Trace Mode 6 software package to develop the SCADA of the distillation column control system. In conclusion, it was noted that the development and implementation of an automated control system for the oil distillation process provides an increase in plant productivity, as well as the quality and reliability of the process, which in turn has a positive effect on environmental conservation.

The article deals with the general approach to the problem of fatigue of materials and elements in aerospace industry. The mathematical model describing the effect is presented and recommended for practical use. For solving different problems with the fatigue of the materials we recommend the described model with the given approximation type.

Now in Russia the innovative model of development is implemented, so new instruments of innovative project financing are required. Hence, the necessary competences should be formed within the educational system. To study the influence of different factors on venture capital and entrepreneurial activity, the work considers the analysis of the different research papers, which study the determinants of the venture capital development. According to the results of testing, the possible hypotheses are outlined and verified. The analysis was performed on two datasets, which represent the annual data for Russia and the USA from 1994 to 2012. As the influence factors on the VC industry the model uses determinants both used in previous works and completely new. The latter are the level of small business development, the inventors' activity coefficient, and the level of information and communications industry development in a country. As a dependent variable, the total volume of venture investments, transformed into logarithmic scale is used. The result of the paper shows the primary factors of VC and technological entrepreneurship development, which also influence on the demand for entrepreneurial education.

The extracting the genetic information from old and degraded DNA now become a serious and promising direction of biotechnology. In Russia, this kind of technological systems is fully developing only recent years, so building and testing the processes for degraded DNA extraction and reading is still important, as it makes Russia independent from foreign laboratories. Below we outline the authomated process designed and performed in Russia, and mainly the result of the experiment on Y-DNA haplogroup defining of two ancient burials from Kaliningrad Area. The obtained data allows defining the Y-haplogroup R1a with a certain probability. The paper outlines the experiment, testing process, and the obtained results for both samples in form of precise but scarce data. The experiment showed that the developed system manages with 1000-1500 year old samples preserved in acid soils prevailing in Russia. The technology mentioned and used in the test was developed in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology by the Laboratory of Historical Genetics, Radiocarbon Analysis, and Applied Physics and was used in the project according to the agreement.

The article outlines the approach used for geometric simulations of design objects in aerospace industry. The computational model describing the effect is presented, which is recommended for practical use in construction.
