This article provides the findings of an experimental study into steels utilized in the nuclear industry, which employed the positron annihilation spectroscopy method (APAD). The processing and comparison of the experimental data with literary data helped identify vacancy defects, including those caused by neutron irradiation, and determine their dimensions.

Currently, there is emerging in Russia a new promising strand in the reclamation of coastal recreational resources (the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, the coast of the Baltic Sea, large reservoirs, etc.) – creation of artificial territories right in the sea at a certain distance from the shore, in the form of artificial insular complexes (AIC). This said, a number of sketch designs are utterly utopian in nature and cannot be implemented in certain conditions, as is the case with the Black Sea coast of Russia, for instance. At the same time, there is already some hands-on experience in the way of designing AIC’s for this coast. The article is dedicated to discussing issues and prospects related to the scientific rationale for and design of artificial islands, as well as their legal status.

This article brings to light the characteristics of geoinformation modeling. The author demonstrates that geoinformation modeling employs data integration. It is illustrated that geoinformation modeling is characterized by the use of spatial relations. The article describes primary logistics objectives. It demonstrates the link between logistics and spatial analysis and logistics and geomodeling.
