The proposed method of designing hardware components optical switching systems simplifies prototyping and development of systems of optical switching and multi-core VLSI. This method allows to automatically set parameters of the optical system at the design stage, depending on the requirements. This method may be cost-effective at the stage of technical specifications of the project, as will reduce the time required for its coordination between the customer and the design engineer.
At the heart of developing a method of designing systems, optical switching elements is a comprehensive analysis of the equations and functions describing the electrical and optical properties of laser heterostructures, as well as electro-optic modulators and Fabry-Perrot resonators. Fundamental static and dynamic characteristics of semiconductor diode lasers can be calculated by using a set of kinetic equations describing the interaction of electrons, holes and photons in the active layer of the laser structure. At various stages of this method is processing, evaluation and calculation of the main characteristics of the elements of integrated optical switching systems.

In this work we have investigated the structure of individual single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes by high-resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction. To grow carbon nanotubes we used a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. It was shown, that this synthesis protocol gave in general single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotubes with a high level of crystallinity. The diameters of the nanotubes were in the range 1.5 - 7 nm. We also observed that there was a certain level of amorphous carbon deposited on the nanotube surface during the growth. In this work we also present the structure analysis of the double-walled carbon nanotube by means of electron diffraction. We show that the structural date derived from electron microscopy and electron diffraction agree within the experimental error.

Identification of railway vehicles is relevant for the conversion from automatic control systems with manual data input to automatic modeling environment of train and vehicle. The most effective and economic inventory number recognition is optical recognition. But there is question about veracity in such technology. This paper represent the qualitatively new approach for optical recognition based on building integral robust constructive features of vehicles and allowed to significantly increase level of recognition veracity. Proposed technique investigated in introduction subject of automatic vehicle number recognition system (ARNV).  Computational experiments demonstrated relevance of proposed technique for using in optical recognition of vehicle numbers.

To evaluate the effectiveness of remediation of soils contaminated with petroleum or petroleum products, it is advisable to use the method for determining the integral indicator of biological condition (IPBS) of the soil, calculated on the most informative biological indicators. If, before reclaiming the difference between the IPBS contaminated and uncontaminated (background) soil is less than 10%, it is advisable not to carry out remediation. If the value of IPBS re-cultivated soil and uncontaminated soil IPBS value differ by less than 10%, then reclamation carried out efficiently.

The influence of attendant anions on the transformation of zinc compounds in the soil was studied in a model experiment. The differences in the number of mobile forms of recoverable zinc in the soil, depending on its dose and form of addition were defined. Influence of associated anions on the content of metals mobile forms in the soil decreases in the order: PO42¯≈ Cl¯ > NO3¯ > SO42¯> СН3СОО¯> О¯. Transformation of zinc compounds during 2-year period after the receipt of the metal in the soil has been studied.  There is no soil stabilization in ratio form for two years studying, indicating the low speeds transformation of metal compounds with soil components. Transformation of Zn in soil depends on the attendant anion, metal concentration in soil and time interaction with the solid phase of soils. The transformation process of metal adsorbed the soil goes toward to decrease of Zn mobility.

Modern ultra-tight integration structure of strapdown inertial systems and global positioning system, based on the linearization of the navigation measurements and linearization of measurement errors models, are not not applicable for motor vehicles navigation. The adequate standard stochastic model of the vehicle perturbed motion has been synthesized. The model can be used for the integration Kalman filter. Such correlations can result in poor real-time estimation accuracy of navigation parameters of motor vehicle.

The solution is obtained on the basis of the fully nonlinear model of the navigation system of the vehicle and the, therefore, is valid for arbitrary and unknown in advance nature of his movements, and, in the most general assumptions about the level of disturbances acting upon him.
