The purpose of the work is to consider methods for calculating the forecast of groundwater backwater in the zone of influence of hydraulic structures. The analysis of analytical dependences of calculation of the forecast of groundwater backwater for various calculation schemes is carried out. For a homogeneous scheme of the geofiltration structure, a numerical model is proposed and a computational program for calculating the groundwater backwater is developed. It allows calculating the groundwater backwater from the channel at any time in the discrete mode. To simplify the solution of the problem of calculating the groundwater backwater, a computer program was created in the programming language Phyton Version 8.3 which quickly solves this hydrogeological problem. A possible range of geofiltration parameters is proposed for calculating the groundwater backwater near main channels. The adaptation and implementation of the software model was carried out for a specific object – the Bolshoy Stavropol channel-5, for which forecast calculations were made. The results of predictive calculations of groundwater backwater are the basis for the assessment of areas of possible flooding – the territory within which the level of ground water increases as a result of their backup by a hydraulic structure.

A surface effect ship is known to be comparable to a high-speed ship. For the structural design of surface effect ships, advanced design methods are needed which can reflect the various loading conditions different from those of conventional ships. Also, minimum weight design is essential because hull weight significantly affects the lift, thrust powering and high-speed performance. This paper presents the procedure of optimum structural design and a computer program to minimize the hull weight of surface effect ships built of composite materials. By using the developed computer program, the optimum structural designs for three types of surface effect ships—built of sandwich plate only, stiffened single skin plate only, and both plates—are carried out and the efficiency of each type is investigated in terms of weight. The computer program, developed herein, successfully reduced the hull weight of surface effect ships by 15–30% compared with the original design. Numerical results of optimum structural designs are presented and discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to present the possibility of computer-aided technology of chemical metallization for the production of electrodes and resistors based on Ni-P and Ni-Cu-P layers. Design/methodology/approach Based on the calculated parameters of the process, test structures were made on an alumina substrate using the selective metallization method. Dependences of the surface resistance on the metallization time were made. These dependencies take into account the comparison of the calculations with the performed experiment. Findings The author created a convenient and easy-to-use tool for calculating basic Ni-P and Ni-Cu-P layer parameters, namely, surface resistance and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of test resistor, based on chemical metallization parameters. The values are calculated for a given level of surface resistance of Ni-P and Ni-Cu-P layer and defined required range of changes of TCR of test resistor. The calculations are possible for surface resistance values in the range of 0.4 Ohm/square ÷ 2.5 Ohm/square. As a result of the experiment, surface resistances were obtained that practically coincide with the calculations made with the use of the program created by the authors. The quality of the structures made is very good. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the paper presents a new, unpublished method of manufacturing electrodes (resistors) on silicon, Al2O3 and low temperature co-fired ceramic substrates based on the authors developed computer program.

In early 1950s, Iannis Xenakis became the first composer to use stochastic processes to generate pieces of music, working by hand. The first entirely computer-generated composition was Illiac.Suite.for.String.Quartett, realized by Lejaren Hiller in 1956 (Hiller, 1970, 1981). In Hiller’s approach, all kinds of musical processes were coded and implemented by computer. In the ‘80s, David Cope created a computer-aided system allowing anyone to create new compositions in the styles of past composers. The system worked even for users with no skills in programming or composition. Cope thought that computers could be a good tool for studying musical style, encoding it into programs to increase musical creativity. So he began to study the essential elements that define musical style, creating an explicit definition he could encode in a computer program.
