    No full text
    With this paper we describe an extensive analysis of the electro-optical degradation of deep ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes emitting at 310 nm, submitted to accelerated stress test. The results obtained within this study indicate that: (i) high current stress can induce a significant decrease in the optical power emitted by the LEDs; (ii) optical power decrease is more prominent at low measuring current levels, indicating that degradation is related to an increase in the concentration of defects, with subsequent decrease in the radiative efficiency of the active layer; (iii) stress can induce a significant increase in the operating voltage of the LEDs, due to the increase in the resistivity of the ohmic contacts or p-type semiconductor; and (iv) after stress, LEDs show a significantly increased green parasitic emission. This result suggest that stress induced an increase in the defectiveness of the active layer. Information on the location of the degraded region is achieved by the analysis of the Apparent Charge Distribution curves obtained by capacitance–voltage measurements

    URI Disambiguation in the Context of Linked Data

    No full text
    The Linked Data initiative has given rise to an increasing number of RDF datasets, many of which are freely accessible online. These resources often arise as a result of database exports; however sufficient consideration may not be given to the unseen implications caused when they are used in the wider context of the Semantic Web. This paper investigates two popular resources, DBLP and DBpedia, and discusses whether the issues regarding identity management and co-reference resolution have been suitably addressed. We find that a large percentage of authors in DBLP have been conflated, and that disambiguation pages have been incorrectly linked using owl:sameAs within DBpedia. Systems for dealing with these issues are presented, and directions are given for future research

Summary Mostly Will Roger`s phenomenon means existence of so-called "jumping" or "jumping over the stages" regional metastases in the stomach cancer patients. N1 in the 6th edition means 16 regional lymph nodes involvement, while the N1 seventh edition – only 1-2 of regional lymph nodes involvement. This means that T1N1Mo \ 6th and T1N1Mo \ 7th - not quite the same, and the survival of the two groups will be different. The study, made on the abdominal oncosurgical department of Odessa Regional Oncology Center, included 188 patients operated for gastric cancer in the period 2007-2011. The study included only radically treated patients. Comparison of survival in patients with gastric cancer between 6th revision groups of 7th has been reviewed. The classification mission is to provide differences in the survival rates between the groups. Regression multivariate Cox analysis showed that 7th UICC classification showed different capability of stratifying survival groups of UICC N classification (P \ 0.01). Key words: extended lymphatic dissection, TNM classification, Will Roger`s phenomenon, stomach cancer

    MACROECONOMIC STABILITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES: EVOLUTION AND NEW CHALLENGES

    No full text
    The objective of this article is to analyse the processes of macroeconomic stabilisation in Central and Eastern European countries over the past thirty years (1991-2021), from the inception of market reforms to the present day. At the same time, the author aims to identify patterns and trends in the macroeconomic policies of these countries, which were formed under the influence of radical structural changes, economic cycles and the global financial crisis of 2008. Methodology. In order to analyse the data, the correlation between variables was measured. The volatility of macroeconomic indicators was gauged using the standard deviation. Based on panel regressions with fixed effects, models were created to demonstrate the influence of macroeconomic stability on economic growth in 15 countries across Central and Eastern Europe over a 30-year period (1991-2021). Results. The analysis using panel regressions with fixed effects shows a significant impact of macroeconomic stability indicators on economic growth after the 2008 global financial crisis, compared to a very small impact during the 2000-2008 boom. The growth of indicators of the real effective exchange rate and total official reserves have a positive impact on economic growth during the boom, while the impact of these indicators decreases significantly in the post-crisis period, and the impact of the lending rate, the current account balance and the unemployment rate increases. It should be noted that the dominant positive factor influencing economic growth in all periods is the budget balance and the weak influence of the exchange rate. Practical implications. The author identifies certain combinations of macroeconomic indicators to create a successful macroeconomic policy for sustainable economic growth in Central and Eastern Europe. Value / Оriginality. The paper assesses and analyses the relationship between macroeconomic stability and economic growth in Central and Eastern European countries during both recession and boom periods, as well as in the post-crisis downturn after 2008, in order to achieve stable welfare, confidence in the future for the whole society and the success of long-term investment projects

    Combined Optical And Electrical Analysis of AlGaN-Based Deep-UV LEDs Reliability

    No full text
    This paper describes an analysis of the reliability of AlGaN-based deep-UV Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) emitting in the range 280- 340 nm. LEDs have been aged at their nominal operating current, and during treatment their electrical and optical characteristics have been continuously monitored. Measurement results show that (i) constant current stress can induce degradation of the optical power emitted by the devices; (ii) degradation is more prominent at low measuring current level, thus suggesting that efficiency decrease is related to the generation of non-radiative paths; (iii) degradation does not imply a significant variation of the operating voltage of the devices, thus indicating that the characteristics of the ohmic contacts are stable over stress time; (iv) optical power decrease takes place together with modifications of the C-V apparent charge profiles, indicating that the generation of non-radiative paths is related to charge instabilities in the QW region

V.Merlich2, D. V. Raziborsky2, I. V.Shilin2                                     Odessa National Medical University1, Odessa, Ukraine Odessa Regional Oncological Dispansery2, Odessa, Ukraine   Abstract Over a period of 2007-2011 188 stomach cancer (SC) patients have been included in the research in abdominal oncosurgical department of Odessa regional oncological dispensary. It was retrospective, one-center, nonrandomized research. Volume of lymph node dissections differed by quantity of lymph nodes to be removed. All patients were divided into three groups. Patients with D1 or D1+ lymph node dissections have been performed, totally 90 patients are included in group of historical control. The main group includes 33 patients to whom D3 lymph node dissections is executed and, finally, control group – 65 patients dissected up to the D2 volume. In all cases so-called lymph node dissections for principal reasons have been executed. The multifactorial analysis of patients survival is implemented depending on a type of a lymph node dissections, a stage of the cancer, number of involved lymph nodes, involvement of the tumoral microcirculatory net (ly is carried out, v) signs of a perinevral invasion (Nev), availability of residual tumoral tissue (R), degree of a differentiation (G). Regardless of a disease stage, SC at 60% of patients, represented with initially hematologicaly disseminated disease. 40% of SC`s had no signs of intratumoral microcirculatory net involvement even in case of more than 15 regional lymph nodes are involved.  In the absence of a SC perinevral invasion appeared to be the most precise predictive marker.  The conclusion is made some brand new additional prognostic factors could play a crucial role in more accurate patients selection for expanded lymph node dissections.
