Background. Today there is a problem of constructing high quality mathematical models for short-term forecasting of macroeconomic processes. The most often approach used for solving the problem is based on regression models though there are also developed competitive probabilistic models that exhibit high forecasting quality in conditions of uncertainties of various kind and nature.

Objective. To perform analysis of current economic situation in Ukraine using statistical data; to construct regression models suitable for short-term forecasting of macroeconomic processes selected; to provide a generalized methodology for constructing probabilistic models in the form of Bayesian networks and to construct appropriate network models for macroeconomic processes; to perform necessary computational experiments aiming to model parameter estimation and compare quality of generated forecasts.

Methods. To solve the problems stated two basic approaches to construct mathematical models are hired: regression analysis and Bayesian networks constructing using statistical data and expert estimates. A generalized multistep methodology is developed for Bayesian belief networks constructing that uses statistical data and other possible prior information.

Results. The models resulted from regression analysis of actual data provide a possibility for generating short-term forecasts of GDP though not always of high quality. Another model was constructed in the form of a Bayesian network. The model turned out to be better than the multiple regression, it provides quite good estimates for probabilities of GDP growth direction.

Conclusions. It was shown that application of regression models for describing macroeconomic processes of economy in transition not always finalizes with positive results. This can be explained by numerous out-of-market events (factors) that influence development of the economy. The short-term forecasting results obtained in this case are not always of high quality though quite acceptable. On the other hand probabilistic models such as Bayesian networks provide a possibility for obtaining well substantiated probabilistic estimates for the direction of GDP growth in Ukraine. A substantial advantage of the simple heuristic method used for constructing BN is in its transparency and small number of computing operations.

Keywords: macroeconomic processes; forecasting; regression analysis; Bayesian networks.

Background. Creation of theoretical and technological foundations of antifriction powder materials using dispersed-strengthened copper powders is urgent task, requiring a dependency determination of properties of the final product on the conditions of its receipt.

Objective. The purpose of this paper is to study the processes of obtaining products from powder materials based on dispersed-strengthened copper by hot stamping of current collector by electric vehicles. Determine the effect of parameters of stamping to form density, structure and some properties of the piece – hardness, flexural strength and specific electrical resistivity.

Methods. A processes research technique of products compacting from powder materials by hot stamping was proposed. Density, structure and properties research was conducted using modern techniques and equipment to study the mechanical properties, optical and electron microscopy, computer technology.

Results. Processes of compacting of antifriction materials of based dispersed-reinforced copper were investigated. Dependence of properties on the conditions of their production – stamping power, temperature and heating time of initial blanks before stamping was established. It was show that under certain conditions stamping density material greatly increases with the stamping power gain to 200 N×m/cm3 and herein after does not change much. Relative density of material heated to a temperature of 950 °С for 20– 25 min is 99-100 %. Further increase in heating time leads to a decrease in density after stamping.The value of the hardness of the material correlates with the density. The maximum hardness is 550–600 MPa. The value of flexural strength and specific electrical resistivity also correlates with the density of the material, but also depends on the structure of the material. Maximum values of flexural strength is 180–200 MPa and minimum values of specific electrical resistance is 3.8–4.0 mOhm×cm. The results were explained using modern ideas about forming properties of powder materials when their compaction, which enables them to obtain predetermined properties.

Conclusions. Dependence of properties of antifriction materials by electric vehicles (current collector) from the conditions of their manufacture compacting porous hot stamped billets was established. Optimum conditions to obtain materials with maximum density, hardness, ultimate tensile strength and flexural specific minimum electrical output of billets are part blanks heated at the temperatures 900–950 °С for 15–20 min and their following stamping on specific energy of 200–250 N×m/cm3.

Objective. The quest of more perfect methods of control by energy carrying coherent vortical structures (ECVS) that have essential influence on processes of mass, momentum and energy transfer in swirling flows and therefore determine the efficiency of installation work.

Methods. The frequency-spatial regions of ECVS, in which the correct statistical analysis of directed actions on its by artificial disturbing eddy formations is possible, are determined by means of visualization and hot-wire measuring of kinematic characteristics of wall current in the test vortex chamber. The disturbing eddy formations are generated in rectangular groove or in three hemispherical dimples of defined dimensions which are built directly in intake nozzle of chamber with adherence to necessary conditions of mutual susceptibility of vortical structures. Numerical processing of measured signals was carried out by fast Fourier transform algorithm.

Results. Small by energy controlling actions to input flow cause substantial rise of power spectral density of velocity fluctuations on the most energy carrying frequencies – approximately in 2–11.5 times depending on eddy-generator type and frequency band, including the “transfer” of energy density to the most large-scale eddy components of ECVS. This fact detects in ECVS all signs of typical open nonlinear dynamical system: existence of resonant modes with sharpening, when the energy feed from controlling vortices and its equiphase perception by Görtler-Ludwieg vortices take place not on full mode spectrum, but selectivity, only for certain harmonic components.

Conclusions. It has been proved experimentally the possibility of effective and low-powered control by macro- and microstructure of swirling flows. It opens the perspective of elaboration of new in principle methods for intensification of the transportable substances transfer in cylinders of internal-combustion engines, in vortex burners, combustors, chambers of rocket engines, furnaces, plasmatrons, mixers, chemical reactors, nuclear power plants etc.

Background. Saponite is low-cost sorbent and is effective for removal of organic pollutants, dyes, heavy metal ions from water. However, saponite sorbents are not widely used. The saponite particles waste is removed from the solution after sorption process with considerable difficulties due to their high dispersion. To overcome this difficulty clay particles can be magnetized by magnetite, then by simple procedure (magnetic separation) removed from the water.

Methods. In the paper modern physic-chemical and experimental research methods were used: X-ray fluorescence, X-ray analysis, physical adsorption/desorption of Nitrogen, sorption and magnetic separation process.

Results. It was found that magnetic modification (in an amount of 2 % magnetite by weight) of saponite by impregnation method allows obtaining mesoporous sorbents with good sorption and magnetic properties. The detected adsorption capacity of magnetically sorbents for all types of dyes (anionic, cationic and nonionic) was 1.5–2.5 times bigger than that for native saponite.

Conclusions. It is shown that modification of saponite by magnetite not only improves its magnetic properties, but also increases its absorption characteristics (specific surface area, sorption capacity). The impregnation method allows obtaining magnetic clay sorbent with better sorption and magnetic characteristics. The pyramid magnetic module was the most effective magnetic module design for deposition of spent magnetic sorbent.
