It was carried out a theoretical analysis of the energy migration rate in the process of non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence pigment-protein complex that performed by means of orange carotenoid-protein in the phycobilisomes of cyanobacteria. It is shown that the observed rate of energy transfer can not be interpreted in the framework of inductive-resonant mechanism of energy migration (Förster’s theory). On the contrary, according to the calculations the implementation of the exciton mechanism is fully consistent with the experimentally observed high quenching rate. An essential feature of the implementation of the exciton mechanism is to comply with a number of structural and functional conditions that require fine-tuning of the molecular system in the interaction of donor and acceptor molecules both each other and with the local molecular environment.

Dam safety assessment increasingly relies on continuous monitoring of hydrometeorological variables; however, identifying early-stage instability remains challenging due to complex spatio-temporal interactions and highly imbalanced failure observations. This study proposes a deep learning framework based on a Convolutional Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (CNN–BiGRU) architecture to learn spatio-temporal precursors of dam instability from multivariate hydrometeorological time series. The convolutional component extracts localized temporal patterns associated with short-term fluctuations, while the bidirectional recurrent structure captures long-range dependencies and evolving dynamics preceding critical states.

The proposed model is evaluated on a real-world dam monitoring dataset comprising multiple water-level, meteorological, and derived dynamic indicators. To address class imbalance, a cost-sensitive training strategy using class weighting is adopted without synthetic oversampling. Experimental results demonstrate strong predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of 0.961, precision of 0.901, recall of 0.757, and an F1-score of 0.823. The model further attains a ROC-AUC of 0.907 and a PR-AUC of 0.819, indicating robust discrimination capability under imbalanced conditions.

Feature importance analysis reveals that short- and medium-term water level variability, including rolling standard deviation, volatility, and multi-scale gradients, play a dominant role in characterizing pre-instability behavior, providing physically interpretable insights into dam response dynamics. The findings suggest that the CNN–BiGRU framework effectively captures meaningful spatio-temporal precursors and offers a reliable data-driven tool for supporting dam safety monitoring and decision-making under real operational conditions.

In this work, the problem of constructing an electronic analogue of heterogeneous DNA is solved with the help of the methods of mathematical modeling. Electronic analogs of that type, along with other physical models of living systems, are widely used as a tool for studying the dynamic and functional properties of these systems. The solution to the problem is based on an algorithm previously developed for homogeneous (synthetic) DNA and modified in such a way that it can be used for the case of inhomogeneous (native) DNA. The algorithm includes the following steps: selection of a model that simulates the internal mobility of DNA; construction of a transformation that allows you to move from the DNA model to its electronic analogue; search for conditions that provide an analogy of DNA equations and electronic analogue equations; calculation of the parameters of the equivalent electrical circuit. To describe inhomogeneous DNA, the model was chosen that is a system of discrete nonlinear differential equations simulating the angular deviations of nitrogenous bases, and Hamiltonian corresponding to these equations. The values of the coefficients in the model equations are completely determined by the dynamic parameters of the DNA molecule, including the moments of inertia of nitrous bases, the rigidity of the sugar-phosphate chain, and the constants characterizing the interactions between complementary bases in pairs. The inhomogeneous Josephson line was used as a basis for constructing an electronic model, the equivalent circuit of which contains four types of cells: A-, T-, G-, and C-cells. Each cell, in turn, consists of three elements: capacitance, inductance, and Josephson junction. It is important that the A-, T-, G- and C-cells of the Josephson line are arranged in a specific order, which is similar to the order of the nitrogenous bases (A, T, G and C) in the DNA sequence. The transition from DNA to an electronic analog was carried out with the help of the A-transformation which made it possible to calculate the values of the capacitance, inductance, and Josephson junction in the A-cells. The parameter values for the T-, G-, and C-cells of the equivalent electrical circuit were obtained from the conditions imposed on the coefficients of the model equations and providing an analogy between DNA and the electronic model.

This work provides a new approach for constructing high-precision routes based on data from transport detectors inside the SUMO traffic modeling package. Existing tools such as flowrouter and routeSampler have a number of disadvantages, such as the lack of interaction with the network in the process of building routes. Our rlRouter uses multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), where the agents are incoming lanes and the environment is the road network. By performing actions to launch vehicles, agents receive a reward for matching data from transport detectors. Parameter Sharing DQN with the LSTM backbone of the Q-function was used as an algorithm for multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Since the rlRouter is trained inside the SUMO simulation, it can restore routes better by taking into account the interaction of vehicles within the network with each other and with the network infrastructure. We have modeled diverse traffic situations on three different junctions in order to compare the performance of SUMO’s routers with the rlRouter. We used Mean Absoluter Error (MAE) as the measure of the deviation from both cumulative detectors and routes data. The rlRouter achieved the highest compliance with the data from the detectors. We also found that by maximizing the reward for matching detectors, the resulting routes also get closer to the real ones. Despite the fact that the routes recovered using rlRouter are superior to the routes obtained using SUMO tools, they do not fully correspond to the real ones, due to the natural limitations of induction-loop detectors. To achieve more plausible routes, it is necessary to equip junctions with other types of transport counters, for example, camera detectors.

Hemostasis system is one of the key body’s defense systems, which is presented in all the liquid tissues and especially important in blood. Hemostatic response is triggered as a result of the vessel injury. The interaction between specialized cells and humoral systems leads to the formation of the initial hemostatic clot, which stops bleeding. After that the slow process of clot dissolution occurs. The formation of hemostatic plug is a unique physiological process, because during several minutes the hemostatic system generates complex structures on a scale ranging from microns for microvessel injury or damaged endothelial cell-cell contacts, to centimeters for damaged systemic arteries. Hemostatic response depends on the numerous coordinated processes, which include platelet adhesion and aggregation, granule secretion, platelet shape change, modification of the chemical composition of the lipid bilayer, clot contraction, and formation of the fibrin mesh due to activation of blood coagulation cascade. Computer modeling is a powerful tool, which is used to study this complex system at different levels of organization. This includes study of intracellular signaling in platelets, modelling humoral systems of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, and development of the multiscale models of thrombus growth. There are two key issues of the computer modeling in biology: absence of the adequate physico-mathematical description of the existing experimental data due to the complexity of the biological processes, and high computational complexity of the models, which doesn’t allow to use them to test physiologically relevant scenarios. Here we discuss some key unresolved problems in the field, as well as the current progress in experimental research of hemostasis and thrombosis. New findings lead to reevaluation of the existing concepts and development of the novel computer models. We focus on the arterial thrombosis, venous thrombosis, thrombosis in microcirculation and the problems of fibrinolysis and thrombolysis. We also briefly discuss basic types of the existing mathematical models, their computational complexity, and principal issues in simulation of thrombus growth in arteries.

The agents’ of the system clustering algorithm is described.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming software engineering by bridging the gap between natural language and programming languages. These models have revolutionized communication within development teams and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by enabling developers to interact with code using natural language, thereby improving workflow efficiency. This survey examines the impact of LLMs across various stages of the SDLC, including requirement gathering, system design, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation. LLMs have proven to be particularly useful in automating repetitive tasks such as code generation, refactoring, and bug detection, thus reducing manual effort and accelerating the development process. The integration of LLMs into the development process offers several advantages, including the automation of error correction, enhanced collaboration, and the ability to generate high-quality, functional code based on natural language input. Additionally, LLMs assist developers in understanding and implementing complex software requirements and design patterns. This paper also discusses the evolution of LLMs from simple code completion tools to sophisticated models capable of performing high-level software engineering tasks. However, despite their benefits, there are challenges associated with LLM adoption, such as issues related to model accuracy, interpretability, and potential biases. These limitations must be addressed to ensure the reliable deployment of LLMs in production environments. The paper concludes by identifying key areas for future research, including improving the adaptability of LLMs to specific software domains, enhancing their contextual understanding, and refining their capabilities to generate semantically accurate and efficient code. This survey provides valuable insights into the evolving role of LLMs in software engineering, offering a foundation for further exploration and practical implementation.

The traditional approach to studying inter-journal communication involves analyzing journal citation graphs. This paper proposes a method for analyzing journal networks using a new type of bibliometric graph — a journal intersection graph based on the binary operation of set intersection — employing techniques grounded in the friendship index and the disparity function. The approach is demonstrated using a relatively small example of a real journal network, with data sourced from the All-Russian portal Math-Net.Ru information system: 63 journals from 2008–2021 meeting specific criteria, containing almost 69 thousand articles authored by 54 thousand individuals. The mathematical model of this real-world network is represented as an intersection graph using the Jaccard coefficient, which exhibits specific properties: low dimensionality, high graph density, and an edge weight distribution that is not approximated by a power law function. The obtained results include the network structure of connections within the studied set of journals, accounting for their degree of interaction, and the identification of significant vertices using the friendship index. This captures the graph’s structural properties, offers an obvious substantive interpretation, and allows for ranking journals by this metric. Thus, the method implements a tool for distinguishing between vertices that are leaders in terms of the friendship index and “network integrators” (based on closeness/betweenness centrality). It also demonstrates a qualitative change in structural properties when reducing graph density while maintaining connectivity, achieved by applying the disparity function. The sequential application of the disparity function while lowering the significance threshold allows for the identification of the graph’s core, containing the most strongly connected vertices. This, in turn, enables the determination of a set of vertices (and corresponding journals) that are simultaneously part of the core and have the highest significance according to the friendship index. An analysis of the levels of this resulting journal set within the “Belyi Spisok” (“White List”) shows these journals have a high rating. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the relationship structure within scientific journal networks and define new approaches for their study.

Getting a qualified medical examination can be difficult for people in remote areas because medical staff available can either be inaccessible or it might lack expert knowledge at proper level. Telemedicine technologies can help in such situations. On one hand, such technologies allow highly qualified doctors to consult remotely, thereby increasing the quality of diagnosis and plan treatment. On the other hand, computer-aided analysis of the research results, anamnesis and information on similar cases assist medical staff in their routine activities and decision-making.

Creating telemedicine system for a particular domain is a laborious process. It’s not sufficient to pick proper medical experts and to fill the knowledge base of the analytical module. It’s also necessary to organize the entire infrastructure of the system to meet the requirements in terms of reliability, fault tolerance, protection of personal data and so on. Tools with reusable infrastructure elements, which are common to such systems, are able to decrease the amount of work needed for the development of telemedicine systems.

An interactive tool for creating distributed telemedicine systems is described in the article. A list of requirements for the systems is presented; structural solutions for meeting the requirements are suggested. A composition of such elements applicable for distributed systems is described in the article. A cardiac telemedicine system is described as a foundation of the tool
