the three-jet direct-flow plasma reactor with a channel diameter of 0.054 m was studied in terms of service life, thermal, technical, and functional capabilities. It was established that the near-optimal combination of thermal efficiency, required specific enthalpy of the plasma-forming gas and its mass flow rate is achieved at a reactor power of 150 kW. the bulk temperature of plasma flow over the rector of 12 gauges long varies within 5500 divided by 3200 K and the wall temperature within 1900 divided by 850 K, when a cylinder from zirconium dioxide of 0.005 m thick is used to thermally insulate the reactor. the specific electric power reaches a high of 1214 MW/m(3). the rated service life of electrodes is 4700 hours for a copper anode and 111 hours for a tungsten cathode. the projected contamination of carbides and borides with electrode-erosion products doesn't exceed 0.0001% of copper and 0.00002% of tungsten.

the JPEG format employs Huffman codes to compress the entropy data of an image. Huffman codewords are of variable length, which makes parallel entropy decoding a difficult problem. To determine the start position of a codeword in the bitstream, the previous codeword must be decoded first. We present JParEnt, a new approach to parallel entropy decoding for JPEG decompression on heterogeneous multicores. JParEnt conducts JPEG decompression in two steps: (1)an efficient sequential scan of the entropy data on the CPU to determine the start-positions (boundaries) of coefficient blocks in the bitstream, followed by (2)a parallel entropy decoding step on the graphics processing unit (GPU). the block boundary scan constitutes a reinterpretation of the Huffman-coded entropy data to determine codeword boundaries in the bitstream. We introduce a dynamic workload partitioning scheme to account for GPUs of low compute power relative to the CPU. this configuration has become common withthe advent of SoCs with integrated graphics processors (IGPs). We leverage additional parallelism through pipelined execution across CPU and GPU. For systems providing a unified address space between CPU and GPU, we employ zero-copy to completely eliminate the data transfer overhead. Our experimental evaluation of JParEnt was conducted on six heterogeneous multicore systems: one server and two desktops with dedicated GPUs, one desktop with an IGP, and two embedded systems. For a selection of more than 1000JPEG images, JParEnt outperforms the SIMD-implementation of the libjpeg-turbo library by up to a factor of 4.3x, and the previously fastest JPEG decompression method for heterogeneous multicores by up to a factor of 2.2x. JParEnt's entropy data scan consumes 45% of the entropy decoding time of libjpeg-turbo on average. Given this new ratio for the sequential part of JPEG decompression, JParEnt achieves up to97% of the maximum attainable speedup (95% on average). On the IGP-based desktop platform,

Ergonomy is not automatically attributed for an architectonic projects. Construction regulations and norms partially guarantee ergonomic solutions. But still, there is a free, great field for creative work (visions, ideas) for designer. Architects can, but do not have to, use ergonomic principles in projects. they can also freely omit them. We know, that high quality ergonomic buildings are functioning, in built environment, as well as unergonomic and ineffective ones, socalled "ill". Why is it like that? Why architects are enabled to design unergonomic, "ill" objects? Why the investor agrees to inefficient building? Is such an object a success or a failure? Authors think that this subject is extremely current, because it makes us notice, a big amount of basic project errors in buildings. the article presents and discusses examples of pleasing from the outside but non-ergonomic, ineffective and non-functional buildings - the masterpieces of architecture. this type of design is called - "the architecture of absurd" (Fross 2015). It also indicates that using a methodology of qualitative research, evaluate the design at the stage of concept and programming. Design withthe principles of ergonomics guarantees the future quality of the object [5].

Object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks map low-level database operations onto a high-level programming API that can be accessed from within object-oriented source code. ORM frameworks often provide configuration options to optimize the performance of such database operations. However, determining the set of optimal configuration options is a challenging task. through an exploratory study on two open source applications (Spring PetClinic and ZK), we find that the difference in execution time between two configurations can be large. In addition, both applications are not shipped with an ORM configuration that is related to performance: instead, they use the default values provided by the ORM framework. We show that in 89% of the 9 analyzed test cases for PetClinic and in 96% of the 54 analyzed test cases for ZK, the default configuration values supplied by the ORM framework performed significantly slower than the optimal configuration for that test case. Based on these observations, this paper proposes an approach for automatically finding an optimal ORM configuration using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. We evaluate our approach by conducting a case study of Spring PetClinic and ZK. We find that our approach finds near-optimal configurations in 360-450 seconds for PetClinic and in 9-12 hours for ZK. these execution times allow our approach to be executed to find an optimal configuration before each new release of an application.
