Theoretical and Methodological Support for the Regional Development Strategy of Ukraine

The paper notes that one of the current priorities of Ukraine’s regional policy is to identify regional development problems and implement measures to solve them. At the same time, the actual absence of particular ways, both theoretical and practical, for addressing these problems, the outdated regulatory framework significantly limit the ability to comprehensively consider the wide range of issues related to regional development in Ukraine. In the course of the research, theoretical bases are generalized, and methodological support for the regional development strategy of Ukraine is developed. It is pointed out that today the strategic planning of regional development in our country is only being formed. Unfortunately, the practices and experience of European Union countries are not fully taken into account, there is no sufficient theoretical and methodological support for strategic planning of the development of territories, and the regulatory support for this process is being improved very slowly. It is established that a very important condition for the implementation of the regional development strategy is coordination and concurrence of actions of all subjects in the regional economic space – business and government of all levels – and the unification of all the positions necessary for strategic planning based on reliable information about their intentions. It is concluded that the current system of strategic planning, unfortunately, does not ensure the coherence of the macroeconomic, regional and sectoral aspect. In this regard, there is a need to improve the management system at the regional level, which should occur through reforming the public administration system and the development of local self-government as the most priority area for the implementation of public policy. The study confirms the practicality of searching for new approaches to achieve an effective formation and implementation of the regional development strategy to solve problems of territorial development, taking into account the positive experience of other countries, especially regarding measures aimed at reducing territorial imbalances, creating regional industry complexes and stimulating their development

Proof-of-Principle Experiment for FEL-Based Coherent Electron Cooling,”

Abstract Coherent electron cooling (CEC) has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy, highintensity hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders. In a CEC system, a hadron beam interacts with a cooling electron beam. A perturbation of the electron density caused by ions is amplified and fed back to the ions to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the ion beam. To demonstrate the feasibility of CEC we propose a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC using SRF linac. In this paper, we describe the setup for CeC installed into one of RHIC's interaction regions. We present results of analytical estimates and results of initial simulations of cooling a gold-ion beam at 40 GeV/u energy via CeC

Adoptive Cockpit-Transformed Flight Simulator of Modern Multi Regime Aircraft and Facilities of Its Flexible Software

The article of record as published may be found at https://www.jstor.org/stable/44729531The present paper deals with a general ideology, hardware architecture, and some aspects of software filling of the mobile adaptive simulator aircraft of an aircraft. This simulator provides the pilotage and combat application skills maintenance, pre-flight training and forthcoming, flight mission image formation on the board of his "native" aircraft with "native" habitual cockpit environment and controls. Proposed idea has been already realized and demonstrated during International Aviaspace saloon in Zhukovskiy, Russia in 1997 and 1999 on board of the modern combat aircraft. The paper describes also the results of preliminary testing of this analogue of embedded training system, contains the pilots' and experts' estimates. In conclusion authors discuss a helpfulness of such system and its economical efficiency

APPROVED BY THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE:

ject Classification. (Under the direction of Prof. Hamid Krim) The purpose of this thesis has been to study several problems typical for shape analysis, com-puter vision and image processing in general. First, a problem of sampling planar shape and con-tinuous curves is considered. It has been shown that samples of a discrete curve or a surface should contain the information about the object itself as well as the coordinate system used to produce a functional parameterization. The sampling algorithm has been designed as a two-cost optimization problem. Secondly, we have proposed a new algorithmic approach to implementing a simulated annealing type of optimization, which is based on the notion of scale. The scale is defined as a unit time interval used when converting a continuous-time evolution into a discrete one. It has been shown that by varying the scale as opposed to keeping it constant, one can achieve a better per-formance of an optimization algorithm, all in the absence of a complicated acceptance/rejection Markov chain mechanism. Finally, we have studied the problem of identification of symmetric planar shapes from a single view. It has been shown that the proposed notion of a skeleton of an arbitrary view of the shape is instrumental in constructing invariants enabling us to perform identification. It has further been demonstrated that for the case of noisy data one can describe the distribution of the skeleton points and thus construct an optimal skeleton estimation technique
