The results of studies of a new class of thermoelectric materials with high efficiency of converting thermal energy into electrical energy, obtained by doping semiconductor phases of half-Geissler TiNiSn, ZrNiSn, HfNiSn, TiCoSb, VFeSb, ZrCoSb, and RNiSb (R – rare earth metal) with acceptor and/or donor impurities, which allows controlling the position of the Fermi level by changing the values of electrical resistance, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity. Research into the structural, thermodynamic, electrokinetic, energy, and magnetic properties of thermoelectric materials has made it possible to establish the transformations characteristics in their crystal and electronic structures and mechanisms of electrical conductivity. Physical principles for optimizing the properties of half-Heusler phases to obtain maximum thermoelectric quality factors have been formulated and implemented. In particular, an algorithm has been developed to control the properties of thermoelectric materials by modeling them using KKR (AkaiKKR package for MJW potential) and FLAPW methods within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package VASP v. 5. 4.4) and cyclic correction of the initial conditions of calculations with the parameters of experimental measurements. For researchers, graduate students, and students majoring in metrology and information and measurement technology, materials science, micro- and nanosystem technology, applied physics, and nanomaterials.

 This book concentrates on virtual IMS with the use of modern information and measurement modeling technologies. Modern IMS can be implemented as: real hardware and software measuring tools; virtual IMS with the use of modern information and measurement modeling technologies, including simulation, mathematical, physical, with extensive use of computer equipment for conducting a simulation measurement experiment. Compared to real ones, virtual IMS has a number of advantages, and their implementation requires less time, production, and financial costs. However, in a number of cases, due to the information uncertainty of the object of measurement, such IMS cannot provide objective and reliable results, and therefore, it is necessary to conduct a full-scale measurement experiment using real systems. The potential capabilities of modern systems at the stage of information development of society have increased significantly, which contributes both to the expansion of the subject areas of their application and their use to increase the efficiency of known and solve new scientific and applied measurement tasks. The authors are in solidarity with other colleagues – specialists in measurements – in the forecasts of the development of IMS. No improvements in measurement information technologies, including computer and intellectual ones, have not led, are not leading, and obviously cannot lead in future to the expansion of the nomenclature of measurements of quantities while there are no corresponding sensors that form primary information during their direct interaction with the research object. Further development of IMS and their use in various fields of science and technology, including quantum metrology and nanotechnology, will largely be determined by the development of new principles of operation and the creation of new types of sensors based on them.

 The book is devoted to the solution of the problem of determining the presence of corona discharge on electrical equipment with acoustic radiation. It is shown that corona discharge leads not only to irreversible losses of electrical energy, but also interferes with the transmission of high-frequency signals, deteriorates insulating elements, can become a source of conditions for the occurrence of a destructive arc discharge and is one of the factors of changing the continuity of the electrical system as a whole. The book describes the processes in a corona discharge that lead to the occurrence of acoustic waves. The authors analyzed acoustic radiation from a corona discharge reproduced in laboratory conditions. The received acoustic signals were processed by Fourier transform. Thus, the features of the spectral function, which belong specifically to the corona discharge in electrical networks with industrial frequency current, were determined. Based on the inverse Fourier transform, a simplified model of the acoustic radiation of the corona discharge was constructed. The authors proposed a method for detecting the presence of a corona discharge based on the spectral characteristics of acoustic radiation. Techniques were developed to determine the presence of a corona discharge for the creation of stationary and mobile devices. The advantages of the method of detecting the presence of corona discharge by the acoustic spectrum are shown. The method makes it possible to determine the presence of a corona discharge remotely, even out of direct sight, regardless of the time of day and regardless of the season. The book states that determining the presence of a corona discharge is not enough, it is still necessary to determine its location. The method of finding the coordinates of the corona discharge as a source of sound was described. Methods of searching for corona discharge coordinates with a fixed scanning device and a moving scanning device are proposed. A UAV is proposed as a mobile platform for the scanning system. The influence of the Doppler effect on acoustic measurements when the UAV speed changes was taken into account. The authors have shown that the use of coronal discharge detection with UAVs will not only enable the prevention of coronal discharge, but also increase the frequency of surface inspections. This will allow timely measures to be taken to improve the reliability of the power system operation. The book is intended for the researchers, postgraduate students and students specialized in theory and calculations of electrical systems.

The book combines two interrelated lines of research. One of them is devoted to the development of the theory for solving a certain class of three-dimensional electromagnetic field problems of the three-dimensional electromagnetic field, taking into account eddy currents in a moving conducting magnetizing body. Preference is given to the development of the analytical solution methods of the three-dimensional quasi-stationary problem of field conjugation in the system: “a contour of an arbitrary spatial configuration with an alternating current is conducting body with a flat boundary surface”. The second direction refers to the development of mathematical models for solving applied problems, which involve the use of developed methods for calculating the electromagnetic field and their characteristics. The main application of calculation methods is aimed at solving problems of heat treatment non-ferrous and ferrous metal products using the induction method of heating in a transverse magnetic field. The inverse problems are solved to determine the inductor configuration as flat and spatial current contours for providing the necessary temperature distribution of moving metal strips. To achieve uniform heating of strips across the width using inductors in the form of flat current contours parallel to the strip surface, it is advisable to use combinations of current contours, where the geometric dimensions are determined by the size and electro-physical parameters of the metal strips. A more uniform temperature distribution during high-frequency induction heating is achieved by using inductors in the form of current contours of the required spatial configuration.

The book is intended for researchers, postgraduate students, and students specialized in theory and calculations of electromagnetic fields and induction heating installations.

This book represents a comprehensive exploration of the intricate intersection between geology and mining through the lens of system-oriented perspectives. Geomining stands at the forefront of modern resource extraction, blending the principles of geology, engineering, transport, and environmental science to optimize the extraction of minerals and other valuable resources from the Earth's crust. It is a dynamic field that continually evolves in response to technological advancements, environmental concerns, and economic realities. In this book, we aim to capture the essence of geomining as a holistic system, emphasizing the interconnectedness of its various components and the importance of integrated approaches to resource management. The geomining is a complex of heavy industry sectors that includes the exploration of mineral deposits, the extraction of minerals from the Earth's subsurface, and the enrichment of valuable minerals. Among the main groups of the geomining industry, the following are distinguished—fuel extraction (coal, oil, shale, peat, natural gas extraction); ore mining (iron ore, manganese ore, extraction of non-ferrous ores, precious and rare metals, etc.); mining and chemical industry (extraction of potassium salts, rock salt, apatites, nephelines, bauxites, sulfur, phosphorites, etc.); extraction of mineral raw materials for the construction industry; extraction of mineral raw materials for refractory and ceramic industries; hydromeliorative activities. The concept of a system-oriented view on geomining recognizes that mining activities do not occur in isolation but are part of larger, interconnected systems that encompass geological, environmental, social, and economic dimensions. By adopting a systems perspective, we can better understand the complexities inherent in resource extraction and develop more sustainable and efficient mining practices.

This book is divided into 3 parts, each focusing on different aspects of geomining from a systems perspective.

These studies, unlike many well-known works, are based on obtained exact analytical solution of the problem for the field, generated by external current sources near the conducting body with plane surface. The solution for the vector and scalar potentials, electric and magnetic intensities in the dielectric and conducting media is found without restrictions on the configuration of current sources, properties of the media and field frequency. Some general properties of field formation for arbitrary field in the considered system are obtained (in particular, full compensation by the field of the electric charge distributed on the interface between the media, the normal component of the induced external electric field and, accordingly, the equality to zero the components both of the current density and the electric field intensity perpendicular to the interface; the non-uniform electromagnetic field decreases in depth of conducting medium faster than uniform field). It is shown that the exact analytical solution depends on the values of the parameter proportional to the ratio of the field penetration depth to the distance between the external field sources and the body. The concept of strong skin effect is extended to the case of small value of the introduced parameter. A significant simplification of the expressions was obtained as an asymptotic expansion on this small parameter. In the case of pulsed fields approximate method gives the highest accuracy during important initial period of pulse time. For asymptotic expansion the approximate impedance boundary condition is generalized to the diffusion of non-uniform field into conducting medium.

The authors of this publication examine modern methods for identifying various objects based on the study of stochastic noise signals, which serve as an informational resource for the functioning of such objects. The focus is on mathematical models of the investigated signals and their probabilistic characteristics as potential informational features for object identification. The study also explores the envelope and phase method for determining phase characteristics of identification, along with examples utilizing experimental data from vibroacoustic signals of bearing units in electrical machines, human electroencephalographic signals, and phase characteristics of narrowband noise signals.

The monograph comprises six chapters:

Chapter One addresses the study of stochastic noise signals. It provides general concepts, models, and metrics in object-oriented identification of stochastic noise signals, as well as the application domains of these techniques.

Chapter Two delves into the constructive mathematical model of a stochastic noise process and its characteristics, particularly linear random processes. It presents theoretical arguments about the relationships between random processes with independent increments and those with independent values (white noise processes).

Chapter Three focuses on the investigation of periodic stochastic models. The linear periodic random process is analyzed in detail as a temporal model of stochastic noise signals. Additionally, the chapter examines the potential characteristics for identifying periodic noise signal models.

Chapter Four explores the application of the envelope and phase method as a theoretical foundation for solving identification problems involving narrowband noise signals. It discusses obtaining amplitude, phase, and frequency characteristics of such signals through their Hilbert transform. A detailed analysis is provided of a random vector model with independent Gaussian components in a polar coordinate system, including probability distributions of the modulus and argument of the random vector, and the potential for approximating the latter using the von Mises distribution.

Chapter Five is dedicated to the identification of vibroacoustic signals in energy sector objects for utilizing their informational resources to assess the actual state of these objects. It examines the specific features of vibroacoustic signal identification, provides examples of typical power plant equipment levels, and outlines the structure of monitoring, identification, and diagnostic systems for specific energy objects.

Chapter Six, the concluding chapter, builds on the materials of previous chapters to present examples of stochastic noise signal identification. It offers statistical evaluations of identification characteristics for two models of electroencephalographic noise signals: autoregression with deterministic coefficients and autoregression with random coefficients, studied in biomedical technical systems. Identification of narrowband noise signals is considered using the envelope and phase method, Hilbert transform, and a wide range of signal phase characteristics.

This monograph will be invaluable to scientists, engineers, educators, postgraduate students, and university students specializing in the identification of technical and physiological objects.

The concept of "energy" includes methods for obtaining and using various types of energy for the needs of human society. Energy is one of the foundations for the development of modern society. The effectiveness of solving social, economic and technical problems, as well as the anthropogenic transformations of nature, is largely determined by energy production and the scale of energy production. Modern energy is not a separate industry, but it penetrates widely into other areas, in particular, chemical, transport, aerospace, construction, metallurgy, engineering, agriculture, etc. The energy sector is based on complex technical systems that are multicomponent, spatially distributed systems that during their operation are affected to a wide range of design and non-design thermomechanical loading conditions, the effects of aggressive fields and units, unauthorized influences (operator errors, terrorism, sabotage) and can reach various limit states.

Complex technical systems are characterized by complex non-linear interactions between their constituent elements, complex chains (scenarios) of cause-effect relationships between hazardous, probabilistic events and processes that occur during their life. These scenarios can be implemented over complex ramified scenario trees.

Ensuring the operational reliability, durability and safety of power equipment is a difficult task, which is associated with the organization of the reliability of control over the operation of power plants and ensuring optimal conditions for their operation. In this regard, we can distinguish a whole class of tasks related to the development of control systems, diagnostics and monitoring in the energy industry, which are presented in this book. Of particular relevance now is the use of UAVs in the energy sector.

Particular attention must be paid to the environmental consequences of the operation of energy facilities, the main of which is significant environmental pollution in large cities and industrial areas. The development of environmental management information systems is the prerogative of the state, corporations and one of the main directions of the national informatization policy. A clearly debugged system of environmental monitoring gives a general idea of the features of the current ecological state, the main directions of state policy in the field of environmental protection, the use of natural resources and environmental safety. The methodology and hardware-software tools for monitoring the state of the environment presented in the monograph are effective tools for supporting decision-making in managing the environmental safety of the atmosphere during its technogenic pollution.

In recent years, the scale of environmental hazards has been growing, emergencies occur more often at special facilities, in particular nuclear power, the largest of which was the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986. With the advent of nuclear power, it was believed that nuclear power reactors were safe enough, control and monitoring systems, protective screens and trained personnel would guarantee their trouble-free operation. There is also a trend now that nuclear power is "environmentally friendly" because it provides a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with replacing power plants working on fossil fuels. Some countries, such as the United States, have recently classified nuclear energy as a renewable energy source. Despite this, nuclear power is potentially dangerous due to:

- possible accidents at power plants, accompanied by the ejection of radioactive materials into the environment;

- ejections of about 250 radioactive isotopes into the environment as a result of the operation of nuclear reactors;

- emissions of 85Kr, which changes the electrical conductivity of the atmosphere. This gas behaves like a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, thereby contributing to anthropogenic climate change on Earth;

- pollution of the biosphere with plutonium;

- radioactive waste is the most important cause of environmental hazard, which remains unresolved. Civilian nuclear power reactors operating throughout the world annually generate large amounts of low-, medium- and high-level radioactive waste. Radioactive pollution accompanies all parts of the complex production of nuclear energy: the extraction and processing of uranium, the operation of nuclear power plants, the storage and regeneration of fuel, which has a significant impact on the environmental friendliness of nuclear energy. In addition, up to 300 natural and technogenic emergencies are registered annually, as a result of which people die and great economic damage is caused. The main reasons for the occurrence of technogenic accidents and catastrophes and the strengthening of the negative impact due to the occurrence of natural and technogenic emergencies in Ukraine are: obsolete fixed assets, in particular for environmental purposes; large volume of transportation, storage and use of hazardous substances; the emergency state of a significant part of public utility networks; insufficient investment support for the process of introducing the latest resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies in environmentally hazardous industries, primarily in the metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical and energy sectors; environmental problems associated with significant changes in the state of the geological and hydrogeological environment and caused by the closure of unprofitable mining enterprises and mines; unwillingness of economic subjects to take measures to prevent accidents and catastrophes at high-risk and potentially hazardous facilities.

These studies, unlike many well-known works, are based on obtained exact analytical solution of the problem for the field, generated by external current sources near the conducting body with plane surface. The solution for the vector and scalar potentials, electric and magnetic intensities in the dielectric and conducting media is found without restrictions on the configuration of current sources, properties of the media and field frequency.

It is shown that the exact analytical solution depends on the values of the parameter proportional to the ratio of the field penetration depth to the distance between the external field sources and the body. The concept of strong skin effect is extended to the case of small value of the introduced parameter. A significant simplification of the expressions was obtained as an asymptotic expansion on this small parameter. In the case of pulsed fields approximate method gives the highest accuracy during important initial period of pulse time. For asymptotic expansion the approximate impedance boundary condition is generalized to the diffusion of non-uniform field into conducting medium.

This volume presents the key informational, communication, and socio-political drivers of the Ukrainian state's national security. Since the beginning of the third millennium, there has been an aggravation of global inter-civilizational confrontations, which in 2022 has already resulted in an open military aggression against Ukraine. The hybrid wars against the world of democracy have put ensuring the national security of states on the front pages of world and national agendas.

Using the example of Ukraine, the book demonstrates how, in order to achieve their geopolitical interests, authoritarian regimes incite information wars as a prerequisite for the transition to an armed "hot" war. It further shows how these processes actualize the formation of a fundamentally new state policy to ensure information and, more broadly, national security. The book identifies the main threats to national security in modern states and identifies waysof protecting Ukraine's national interests.

The book will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of political science, international relations, social sciences, and neighboring disciplines, as well as practitioners and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of national security drivers and protecting national interests.

Політика енергоефективного розвитку та зміни клімату . Монографія / В.Я. Шевчук, Н.Р. Малишева, Т.Т. Ковальчук, І.Г. Манцуров та ін. // За ред. В.Я. Шевчука – К.: ЦП «Компринт». – 2014. – 218 с. (123,5 ум. друк. арк.). – Тираж 350 прим. – ISBN 978-617-7202-18-8.

Перехід до політики енергоефективного розвитку України в умовах глобальних змін клімату є об’єктивно обумовленим процесом. Лише так можна досягти динамічного зростання валового внутрішнього продукту та скорочення його енерго- й вуглецеємності, що є шляхом вирішення гострих економічних, соціальних, екологічних проблем, забезпечення національної, зокрема, енергетичної безпеки держави.

У книжці продіагностовано сучасні проблеми економічного розвитку України в умовах глобальних змін клімату, проаналізовано державні стратегічні документи, згідно з якими мала б розвиватися національна економіка. Основна увага приділена базовим галузям і секторам – промисловості, енергетиці, транспорту, житлово-комунальному господарству, аграрно-промисловому комплексу. Розкрито проблеми формування і реалізації державної стратегії розвитку, обґрунтовано напрями державного регулювання енергоефективного розвитку економіки України в контексті імплементації Угоди про асоціацію між Україною та Європейським Союзом.
