SEDIMENT RUNOFF AND WATER TURBIDITY OF THE MAIN TRIBUTARIES OF THE LAKE LADOGA by Marina V. Shmakova, Sergey A. Kondratyev

“…However, these watercourses have the smallest annual module solid flow, due to retention of sediment of backwater areas before hydroelectric dams on these rivers and as a consequence, a decrease in the overall sediment discharge. At the same time, the average annual solid runoff modulus for the Ladoga lake catchment area is 1.53 t/(km2·year), which corresponds well to the previous estimate of this value for the territory under consideration. …”

Perception of Pictographic Alternative Communication Systems in Disorders of Intellectual Development by P.A. Belimova, O.V. Zashchirinskaia

“…The analysis of associative interpretations has shown that the factor of pictogram belonging to the particular system affects the correct interpretations of students with mild disorder of intellectual development (p=0.008), as well as the parameters of eye-movement activity: the number of gazes returns to pictograms (p=0.007), number of fixations (p=0.018) and viewing time (p=0.037). We conclude that, considering the cognitive characteristics of students with mild disorder of intellectual development, simpler graphic forms have the greatest efficiency in conveying information, regardless of the part of speech or level of schematism.…”

Audit Analysis of Abnormal Behavior of Social Security Fund Based on Adaptive Spectral Clustering Algorithm by Yan Wu, Yonghong Chen, Wenhao Ling

“…Under this metric, the distance between data points belonging to different classes will be effectively amplified, while the distance between data points belonging to the same class will be reduced, and finally, the distribution of data will be effectively clustered. At the same time, the idea of Eigen gap is introduced into the spectral clustering algorithm, and the verified gap sequence is constructed on the basis of Laplace matrix, so as to solve the problem of the number of initial clustering. …”
