Липи і статей про нього в діаспорі, названо людей, причетних до видань, підсумовано результати і значення їх праці (The article is devoted to the Ukrainian writer, doctor, publicist and public figure Yuriy Lypa, who was killed 70 years ago. The article is based on the materials, which were collected for bibliographic catalogues. The author reviews the works of Yuriy Lypa and works devoted to this person, which were published by the Diaspora during 1946–1988. Therefore, the authors of these works are listed and the importance of their activity is emphasized in the article. Moreover, the article presents the publications of Yuriy Lypa’s contemporaries as unique biographical sources. Consequently, the emergence of Yuriy Lypa studies as a separate interdisciplinary area of research, that includes all researches associated with Yuriy Lypa (such as family, biography, activity, creativity, etc.) was pointed out in this article

    Is Sustainable Development of Deserts Feasible?

    No full text
    Hot deserts that presently cover about one-fifth of the land area of our planet are rapidly devouring more and more arable lands mostly due to anthropogenic causes. We propose an interdisciplinary approach to revitalizing and commercializing hot deserts, which is based on systems thinking and Russian and NASA space technology experience in designing life-support systems for long-duration flights. We formulate ten principles for the design of sustainable life support systems in deserts, which can make the development of the deserts feasible. It is discussed how the principles can be employed to design and operate desert’s eco-industrial parks with greenhouses in which the transpired and evaporated moisture is collected and condensed. The potential benefits of setting up the eco-industrial parks in deserts include the slowdown and eventual reversal of the desertification trend, the migration of many industrial production facilities from mild-climate regions to deserts, the increased availability of potable water and food in deserts, the development of poor African countries, and the emergence of new investment markets

    Céline en Russie. La traduction de Voyage au bout de la nuit par Yuriy Korneev

    No full text
    Voyage au bout de la nuit by Yuriy KornevTranslation into a foreign language of the work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, the author known as really difficult to translate, is always considered as a milestone in the evolution of contemporary translation. In our article, the question we ask is how foreign translators achieve to render in other languages this Celinian French so vivid, violent, and horrifying by its rudeness and vulgarity. Searching an answer to this question, we have tried, using the example of the Russian translation of Céline’s first novel Journey to the End of the Night performed by Yuriy Korneev, to describe the obstacle course that a translator carries out in order to make an adaptation of the original text. Working over Céline’s masterpiece, a translator begins his work by studying the original style of the author in order to understand the nature of work on the language and catch on the effect muchsought by Céline. The restitution of the orality effect is a fundamental part of the stylistic work gone by the translator. Thus, in our article we draw on the major difficulties of translation that are: the “little music” of Céline formed on the basis of the choice of words to play on phonemes, the sounds and the rhythm of the sentence and onomatopoeia; the semantic matching between the two languages, using the same images and ideas association; transposition of regional and popular accents; translation of slang, scatological and offensive terms; spatial and temporal dissimilarities with the culture of today; plays on words and allusions, etc… Thus the translator working on a Céline’s novel is constantly coping with many difficulties that are sometimes really impossible to overcome, so that the translation is “swaying,” becoming sometimes too soft and neutral, sometimes too brutal and repugnant.Voyage au bout de la nuit by Yuriy KornevTranslation into a foreign language of the work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, the author known as really difficult to translate, is always considered as a milestone in the evolution of contemporary translation.

    Analysis of Antarctic Ice Core Data (EPICA Dome C) with Flicker-Noise Spectroscopy

    No full text
    Evolution of Earth’s climate system over the past 800,000 years represents a complex process with successions of uneven glacial and interglacial periods. The length, amplitudes, and development of each climate cycle depend on a number of different factors, including the orbital parameters attributed to insolation and the complex responses of the Earth system to solar radiation primarily through the amplification by Earth’s albedo and greenhouse gas and secondarily through a system of heat reservoirs, such as ice sheet and deep ocean, distributed throughout our planet. The purpose of this study is to analyze the transitions related to climate cycles in Antarctic ice core data (EPICA Dome C) of deuterium composition and dust concentration recorded for the past 800,000 years [1] using Flicker-Noise Spectroscopy (FNS), an analytical toolset for the extraction and analysis of information in stochastic time and space series, containing both regular and chaotic components, by using power spectra and difference moments (structural functions) of various orders [2]. 

The FNS nonstationarity factors for the deuterium composition and dust (logarithm) concentration, which represent the normalized discrete derivative of the second-order structural function of the source signal with respect to a given shifted “window” interval, were built for different intervals of averaging to identify the major changes in the dynamics of both time series and their precursors. It is shown that when displayed together with the source signals, the positive peaks in the nonstationarity factors provide more reliable estimates of the transition of the climate system from one sub-period to another within a specific climate cycle as compared to predefined thresholds in dust or deuterium values. For climatic transitions, the power spectral estimates of the nonstationarity factors contain several periodicities in addition to the orbital ones. These frequencies may be attributed to specific heat accumulation and discharge processes in the climate system. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of FNS in the analysis of climate data series and may be used in refining climate transition models.

There was demonstrated that refractory arterial hypertension is characterized with hyperactivation of sympathetic nervous system. Patients with RAH used 4,6 ± 0,2  medications to control the pressure. The most common combinations are the combination of blockers, ACE inhibitors and diuretics, ACE inhibitors and diuretics, and, ACC, more rarely, patients received a combination of ARB and a diuretic ACC. Every third patient in therapy included 4 or more antihypertensive drugs, that is, there was a polypharmacy.  However the combination of used medications and their dosage regimen does not achieve significant clinical effect.   Key words: arterial hypertension, medication resistance, diagnostics, monitoring

    Feedback algorithm for switch location : analysis of complexity and application to network design

    No full text
    An accelerated feedback algorithm to solve the single-facility minisum problem is studied with application to designing networks with the star topology. The algorithm, in which the acceleration with respect to the Weiszfeld procedure is achieved by multiplying the current Weiszfeld iterate by an accelerating feedback factor, is shown to converge faster than the accelerating procedures available in the literature. Singularities encountered in the algorithm are discussed in detail. A simple practical exception handling subroutine is developed. Several applications of the algorithm to designing computer networks with the star topology are demonstrated. Applications of the algorithm as a subroutine for multi-switch location problems are considered. Various engineering aspects involved in acquiring and processing coordinates for geographic locations are discussed. A complete algorithm in pseudocode along with the source code listing in Mathematica 4.1 is presented
