Political Activity of Russians: Current Trends and Resources of Media Influence

Authors assume that in the post-Soviet time, political consciousness among the Russians has significantly changed. Causes of this not only include general depoliticization in the society, but also a modified nature of the media influence. The research purpose is to search for reasons that cause booms and falls in the interest of the Russians in politics. The methodological framework of the research included the Verba-Pye model of engagement in politics, Lipset's conclusions about citizens' engagement in political affairs; assumptions from the LipsetRokkan model of political preferences of citizens; Scott's concept of imitation of political activism, and Bryant's conclusions about specifics of media influence on public opinion. The empirical basis of the research includes data from sociological and marketing research made by Russian centers for the study of public opinion. As a result of the research, its authors have established that country residents do not mostly show high political engagement and civil activis

Methods of optimization of distributed databases

The great variety of existing databases is emphasized and their brief description is given. When analyzing a distributed database management system, it is emphasized that they consist of a single logical database, divided into a number of fragments. Each fragment of the database is stored on one or more computers (nodes, sites), which are interconnected by a communication network and each of which operates under the control of a separate database. The advantages, disadvantages and necessary requirements to the distributed database are analyzed. The most effective ways to optimize the structure of distributed databases are listed separately, approaches to assessing their effectiveness (performance, scalability (extensibility), reliability, data protection, availability, ease of application development, the level of interaction with the user). The fragment of grammar of T-SQL language is resulted and the basic generalizing recommendations on writing of inquiries which are convenient for the optimizer and effective at execution are resulted

PROTECTING COATINGS ON URANIUM

The short state-of-the-art review of the published works, concerning problems of the surface protection of uranium and its alloys from corrosion, mainly, from atmospheric and hydride corrosion is given. Are considered physics and techniques of deposition of antirust coatings by condensation from metals and their alloys plasma, generated by the cathode spot of an arc in vacuum and in tenuous atmosphere of inert and chemically active gases. The analysis of protective properties of coatings of a various composition is carried out. The most effective anticorrosive types of coatings and methods of their formation are revealed

The Concept Of Deep Learning: Recognizing Elements In Cartographic Images

In the process of digitizing archives, there is a problem of transferring the obtained data to a vector image to further work with the obtained result, for example, take the cartographic schemes of hydraulic structures. To solve this problem, consider deep learning. Deep learning, in turn, is a class of machine learning algorithms that uses a multilayer system of nonlinear filters to separate the required characteristics with transformations. Consider how deep learning works, on the example of recognizing elements in a cartographic image

THE ARCHITECTURAL COMPARISON OF WATERFRONTS IN SIBERIAN REGIONAL CENTERS

В этой статье мы рассматриваем набережные городов Сибири как градостроительные системы, включенные в ткань города. В начале статьи будет дан краткий обзор набережных рассматриваемых городов. Историческое развитие городов, путь организации их инфраструктуры в значительной степени формируют набережные. В сравнительном анализе четырех региональных центров – Тюмени, Новосибирска, Красноярска и Иркутска мы проведем между их набережными параллели. Это поможет нам понять, почему эти пространства сформировались именно таким образом. Для большей наглядности будут использованы графические схемы. Мы попытаемся выяснить, какие основные факторы определили формирование набережных.  В конце статьи будут выявлены основные плюсы и минусы набережных данных городов, предложены пути решения основных проблем, опираясь на удачный опыт формирования водных фронтов.  В формате таблицы будет проведен анализ основных параметров набережных сравниваемых городов. Будет кратко сформирован перечень точек роста для набережных рассматриваемых городов.  Будут обозначены потенциалы их развития. Также будут выработаны рекомендации по обеспечению большей связности и многофункциональности набережных как общественных пространств города. this article we look at Siberian waterfronts like an urban system, included in urban fabric.  There is a synopsis of embankments of these cities in article’s beginning. The historical development of cities, ways of their infrastructure organization form embankments largely. In comparative analysis of four regional centers – Tumen, Novosibirk, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk we will conduct a parallel between the embankments. It helps us to understand, why this spaces formed in this manner. Graphic schemes will be used for better visibility.  We will try to find out what are the main factors that influenced the formation of embankments. At the end of the article we will identify the main pros and cons of the embankments of these cities.  We offer solutions to the main problems, based on successful experience of formation of water fronts. We will analyze the main parameters of the compared cities embankments in table format. We will briefly form a list of points of growth for these cities embankments.  We denote the potentials of their development. We develop recommendations to ensure greater consistency and multifunctionality embankments as public spaces in the city.
