The improving position of China is evident not only from the rankings of the largest innovative companies but also from the reaction of major Western nations (once technological leaders) to China’s achievements in high-tech industries. Their biggest concerns refer to increased control over foreign direct investment from China, the cancellation of major investment deals, the refusal of the services of Chinese companies due to a threat to national security, the trade war between the United States and China, etc. This article aims at identifying and analyzing the development strategies of high-tech companies in China as exemplified by its largest national companies: Huawei and Tencent. The authors used such methods as document analysis, analysis of quantitative data, comparative analysis, and synthesis. While studying the development strategies of the most prominent high-tech companies in China, Huawei and Tencent, the authors confirmed the general trends of their innovative development, including active investment in new technologies (artificial intelligence, cloud services, blockchain, big data, Internet of things, digital platforms), expanding the network of users and deepening connections between them, as well as personalizing services.","PeriodicalId":335817,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Científica","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127518312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this model, there are two goals, include reducing the cost of transportation and reducing the emission of environmental pollutants, reducing fuel. In general, the goal of the model is to obtain the best route in the distribution network, which imposes the lowest cost on the network and, in addition, minimizes fuel consumption. The presented model was solved with GAMS software. As the dimensions of the problem increase, the execution time of the program increases drastically, and this indicates that the problem is NP-hard. Therefore, in order to solve the model in large dimensions, the meta-heuristic non-dominant sorting genetic algorithm, NSGAII, was used. The results of examining various problems with the meta-heuristic algorithm show a very high efficiency of the presented algorithms in terms of time to solve the problem. The results showed that the proposed model, in addition to reducing the total cost of transportation and the cost of constructing cross docks in the candidate points, also reduced the emission of environmental pollutants. Also, according to the mentioned time window, the products were sent to the customers on time.","PeriodicalId":335817,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Científica","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127216399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preparation of the extracts involves aqueous alcoholic treatment of the crushed mass of raw plant materials selected according to the functional parameters. Extraction is performed in a Soxhlet extractor with an advanced liquid ring vacuum pump. The extraction process is monitored by changes in the content of terpenoids in the extract obtained and the mass fraction of dry matter. As a result, the study establishes the parameters and regimes for carrying out and intensifying the extraction of terpenoids and dry matter from fennel, anise, caraway, and dill: pressure – 0.2 MPa, extraction temperature – 50°С, duration of the process – 45 min, solvent – 40 % aqueous alcoholic solution, raw material particle size – 2-3 mm. These process conditions guarantee the highest degree of extraction of terpenoids and dry matter from raw materials, as well as reduce the time and economic costs.","PeriodicalId":335817,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Científica","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132624600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because some structures today are increasingly complex in geometry and internal structure, it becomes impossible to opt for traditional methods to manufacture them. In this sense, additive manufacturing enables the creation of complex structures with intricate geometries. As manufacturers seek to optimize material properties and performance in a variety of stress conditions, bio-inspired engineering looks at nature for solving the most complex human challenges. By imitating nature’s patterns and shapes, we can optimize fracture resistance, energy absorption, and toughness in materials. In this work, we employ voronoi tessellation patterns and computer-aided design software to design an algorithm for the creation of irregular porous structures, similar to those found in nature (e.g., trabecular bone). This algorithm is scalable and applicable to any product that needs to comply with lightweight requirements and outstanding mechanical properties. Herein, the authors perform static compression tests to determine mechanical properties. The results indicated that the mechanical properties depend directly on the microstructural characteristics of the porous structure itself. Besides, surface area and porosity are the principal parameters to be controlled. Finally, the algorithm has a wide range of engineering applications in the automotive and aerospace industries.","PeriodicalId":335817,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Científica","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122139235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starkey medium was employed and was added 0.5% w/v of solid sample, and incubation took place at 30°C, and 180 rpm for 7 days. The experiment showed a biological removal of 100% of Fe and Zn after 72 hours, as shown with the measurements taken using inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). Additionally, an increase of the concentration of sulphates is reported alongside the process.

To process such materials, the authors used technical and legal analysis as the main method. They conclude that the legal regulation of the principles of public financial control in the Russian Federation is fragmentary. Based on the study of network information resources of Russian public authorities, there is a set of digital tools and technologies used to organize and conduct financial and control activities in a non-contact form. This system includes three main blocks: information systems, personal accounts, and registers. According to the authors, the legal relations that arise in connection with the use of digital tools in financial control are heterogeneous: some are directly related to particular digital technologies (tools); others do not consider a digital product an object of legal relations and assign it an auxiliary value.","PeriodicalId":335817,"journal":{"name":"Nexo Revista Científica","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129594257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
