The object of the study is the conceptual prototype of a microprocessor resource-saving relay protection system. Currently, relay protection ensures electrical networks reliable and efficient work, however, the traditional architecture is proprietary, not allowing to fix and replace damaged parts without a company specialist. Therefore, the open-architecture relay ...

Northern Kazakhstan is a major wheat exporter, contributing to food security in Central Asia and beyond. However, wheat yields fluctuate and low-producing years occur frequently. It is currently unclear to what extent human-induced climate change contributes to this. The most severe low-producing year in this century was in 2010, which had severe consequences for the food security ...

The stability of a soil slope, as initially estimated by design calculations, may be adversely impacted by construction activities near the slope toe, such as excavating foundation pits. This study aims to evaluate the impact of shallow foundation pit location on existing slope stability. The regression function correlating the factor of safety with average horizontal strain ...

The issue of sound insulation in enclosing structures continues to be extremely prevalent in both newly constructed and exploited buildings. Standard fencing solutions frequently employ contemporary wall materials without the additional sound insulation that is required. This study investigates the materials applied to soundproofing in various residential buildings and ...

The present study developed a novel approach for transforming red mud (RM) into soft magnetic materials (SMMs) for applications in advanced electrical devices in the form of Fe-Si and Fe-Si-Al alloys. A total of ten blends were prepared based on two RMs, three iron oxide additives (Fe2O3, black and red mill scales), alumina and carbonaceous reductants in a range of proportions. ...

The incorporation of water bodies into city surroundings is gaining popularity as metropolitan areas expand rapidly. Maintaining the ecological health of these lakes poses challenges for ecologists and local government officials, given the influence of human activity on hydrological and hydrochemical properties and the resident organisms. Lake Taldykol serves as an illustrative ...

Water quality in rural areas of developing countries is a notable problem. In this article, drinking water quality from eleven villages in the Pavlodar and the Akmola region of Kazakhstan was analyzed. Questionnaires of village respondents and chemical components of drinking water were analyzed to identify the quality of drinking water. In each of the villages, the chemical ...

The object of this study is the analysis of questionnaire data using ontological modeling. The task relates to the fact that conventional methods for processing questionnaire data are often insufficiently effective when working with large volumes of information and do not make it possible to automate many analysis processes. As a result of the study, an ontology ...

The article presents the results of the study of the stability of the reinforced ash-storage embankment (ASE) of a functioning metallurgical plant. The purpose of the tests was to determine the numerical modelling correction factors based on the model test results. The model tests were performed at a scale of 1:30 to the full-scale embankment. The numerical modelling was a ...

The article presents the results of an analysis of natural forest regeneration after a wildfire in the Amankaragay Forest Massif, Kostanay Region, Republic of Kazakhstan, during the post-fire period. The forest landscapes of the Kostanay Region are subject to pyrogenic impacts of both natural and anthropogenic origin, leading to changes in the phytocenosis of ecosystems. ...
