Research in the field of bacterial polymer biosynthesis opens up new possibilities for creating bacterial strains and optimizing biopolymer production processes for industry and medicine. These materials, biocompatible and non-toxic, have wide application in medical devices, such as tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is of particular interest due to its unique properties, including high porosity and water-holding capacity, which makes it suitable for use in wound dressings and other medical purposes. In this regard, we have developed a technological process, the implementation of which allows us to obtain microgels, pastes, plates based on bacterial cellulose, alginate, chitosan, etc., capable of delivering drugs to the desired point in the body, as well as preserving and releasing drugs at a certain rate. The gel structures obtained during the study were based on bacterial cellulose and other biocompatible polysaccharides with immobilized probiotic bacteria L. plantarum and bacteriocins isolated from the culture liquid. Their antimicrobial activity, high sorption capacity and resistance to adverse factors were proven. It was shown that the obtained structures at acidic pH values (simulating stomach conditions) retained their integrity, and at pH values above 6.0 (simulating intestinal conditions) they completely or partially disintegrated.
Prompt notification of responsible specialists (according to the accepted role model in the company) about industrial safety violations through the use of video analytics and sound imaging technology (using acoustic cameras), as well as forecasting possible events based on predictive analytics
The DSS solves two main tasks: choosing the best solution from the set of possible ones (optimization); ordering possible solutions by preference (ranking). In both tasks, the first and most fundamental point is the choice of a set of criteria on the basis of which possible solutions will be evaluated and compared in the future (we will also call them alternatives). The DSS helps the user to make such a choice. The broadest field of practical application of the DSS is planning and forecasting for various types of management activities.
Plankton abundance and composition may change under the influence of global climate change. We present AI-based monitoring
The main aspects of the importance of plankton monitoring:
•Monitoring the state of ecosystems Changes in the ratio of plankton species can signal a deterioration in the condition of reservoirs, changes in temperature, water quality and other environmental factors.
•Understanding food chains Plankton serves as the primary food source for many marine organisms, including fish and other large aquatic animals. The study of its biodiversity helps to understand the nutritional relationships in aquatic ecosystems.
•Climate change Plankton participates in biochemical cycles such as the carbon cycle and affects the uptake of carbon dioxide by the oceans. Its abundance and composition may change under the influence of global climate change.
Street art is becoming increasingly popular and in demand all over the world. Over the past 5 years, the number of street art objects in major cities around the world has increased by 30%. Street art works are used to improve urban space by applying thematic graffiti drawings (murals) to houses and buildings, thereby forming the cultural landscape of the city. When drawing such art objects at high altitudes, there are problems associated with increased safety risks for the artist. In addition, there is a shortage of competent specialists in this area, which determines the high cost of such work. The artist drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle with increased maneuverability in gusts of wind. The design is a coaxial hexacopter with a maximum take-off weight of 5 kilograms, with a paint spraying system and a wall collision protection system installed on the frame. The original positioning system includes a high-resolution camera that determines the drone's location relative to the wall plane, and a lidar - it measures the distance to the wall and the angle of rotation of the drone. The developed software translates a drawing of a person in vector SVG format into control commands that ensure precise trajectory following. The created robotic solution, designed for applying large-size images according to specified sketches on vertical surfaces and capable of working on buildings of any height, solves the listed problems, and replication of this product in the future will reduce the cost of producing street art objects.
