Discrete and Continuous Models and Applied Computational Science

We describe the system of ethical disclaimers being introduced in the journal.

This work is the first part of a large bibliographic review of active queue management algorithms of the Random Early Detection (RED) family, presented in the scientific press from 1993 to 2023. The third part will provide data on algorithms published from 2016 to 2023.

As the standardization of 5G New Radio (NR) systems operating in micro- and millimeter-wave frequency bands is over, scientific and industrial communities have begun to address the question of what 6G communications systems might or should be. While technological specifics are still in their early development phase, there is a common agreement that these systems will utilize the lower part of the terahertz band, namely, 100-300 GHz. This band poses a number of specific challenges for system designers, including the effects related to channel characteristics and the conceptually new requirements for electronics. This paper aims to report the current state-of-the-art channel characterization and communications system design. With respect to the former, we consider dynamic human body blockages and micromobility impairments. For the latter, we mainly concentrate on the physical layer devices for direct conversion schemes and the design of the so-called reconfigurable intelligent surfaces that will potentially serve as a cost-efficient blockage mitigation technique.

The problem of identifying deterministic cause-and-effect relationships, initially hidden in accumulated empirical data, is discussed. Statistical methods were used to identify such relationships. A simple mathematical model of cause-and-effect relationships is proposed, in the framework of which several models of causal dependencies in data are described - for the simplest relationship between cause and effect, for many effects of one cause, as well as for chains of cause-and-effect relationships (so-called transitive causes). Estimates are formulated that allow using the de Moivre-Laplace theorem to determine the parameters of causal dependencies linking events in a polynomial scheme trials. The statements about the unambiguous identification of causeand-effect dependencies that are reconstructed from accumulated data are proved. The possibilities of using such data analysis schemes in medical diagnostics and cybersecurity tasks are discussed.

In recent years, artificial intelligence methods have been developed in various fields, particularly in education. The development of computer systems for student learning is an important task and can significantly improve student learning. The development and implementation of deep learning methods in the educational process has gained immense popularity. The most successful among them are models that consider the multimodal nature of information, in particular the combination of text, sound, images, and video. The difficulty in processing such data is that combining multimodal input data by different channel concatenation methods that ignore the heterogeneity of different modalities is an inefficient approach. To solve this problem, an inter-channel attention module is proposed in this paper. The paper presents a computer vision-linguistic system of student learning process based on the concatenation of multimodal input data using the inter-channel attention module. It is shown that the creation of effective and flexible learning systems and technologies based on such models allows to adapt the educational process to the individual needs of students and increase its efficiency.
