The artiсle examines the activities of the outstanding domestic epidemiologist Danilo Zabolotny as president of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. During this time a new version of its charter was developed and adopted. Despite the illness, the head of the Academy of Sciences constantly carried out field visits, which helped to determine the list of the most pressing problems, the solution of which could be found in the walls of the UAS. A significant achievement of the scientist was the discovery the Institute of Microbiology and Virology on the base of UAS in the summer of 1928. Danylo Zabolotny personally supervised personnel policy, attracting young scientists to work at the academy, which contributed to the emergence of scientific schools. Thanks to his efforts, the material and technical base of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and its provision with scientific literature have been significantly improved. It is concluded that the significance of Danylo Zabolotny’s activity as the president of the Academy of Sciences is primarily in the large organizational work aimed at establishing a close connection between theory and practice, the correspondence of scientific knowledge to the requirements of time

The article deals with the activities of the outstanding domestic epidemiologist D. Zabolotny as a president of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. He headed this institution only for a year and a half, but during this time a new edition of its charter was developed and adopted. Despite the illness, the head of the Academy of Sciences constantly carried out field visits that helped to determine the list of the most urgent problems and deal with them in the AUAS. The opening of the Institute of Microbiology and Virology at the Academy in the summer of 1928 was a significant achievement of the scientist. D. Zabolotny personally supervised the staffing policy, involving young scientists to work at the Academy.This contributed to the emergence of scientific schools. Thanks to his efforts, the material and technical base of the AUAS and its provision with scientific literature have been significantly improved. The conclusion was drawn that the importance of D. Zabolotny's activity as a chief of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences was primarily in the great organizational work aimed at establishing a close connection between theory and practice, the compliance of scientific knowledge with demands of the times.

The article presents the problem of studying the origins of the theory and practice of information in Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century. The hypothesis concerning the orientation of the national, mainly socio-humanitarian science, to the summing up of the accumulated knowledge in the historical time of the state creation of the Ukrainian nation is formulated. The views of the leading figures of the Ukrainian science on the tasks of the first weight in the scientific work on the creation of various types and sources of information (bibliographic) sources are outlined. The activities of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (UAN) in the period of its organizational structuring of 1918-1932 years are described separately along the way of creation of the information base on the national science "Ukrainian bibliographic repertoire". The attention was paid to the administrative activities of the UAN on the structuring of scientific institutes, committees of commissions, bureau and their functions of bibliographic summarization of the thematic and branch directions of Ukrainian science. The peculiarities of the bibliographic strategy of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences as revealed by the national versus the information strategy of the USA in the direction of communication technologies of the 1930s were revealed. The presented facts of the historical context concerning the first germs of the organization of system bibliographic activity in Ukraine allow the creation of original, socio-humanitarian knowledge regarding the formation of a national school of computer science in Ukraine, led by academician V. Glushkov in the second half of the twentieth century. The prospect of such a scientific vision of the history of computer science in Ukraine is due to modern research in the field of information philosophy.

The article highlights the specific features of the development of the NAS of Ukraine related to the activities of B.Ye. Paton after his election as president of the Academy. It is shown that the implementation of the course announced by him to strengthen the links between science and industry and accelerate the practical use of research and development results in the national economy has allowed to almost double the total funding of the Academy by attracting customers. At the same time, its structure changed dramatically: along with new scientific institutes, design and technological bureaus, research plants, powerful scientific and technological complexes and engineering centers were created. The material and technical base of scientific research has been significantly strengthened, two academy towns have been created, numerous institute buildings and large volumes of housing for the Academy's employees have been built. It is significant that all this took place in the so-called “period of stabilization of science”, when the vast majority of research centers and branches of the USSR Academy of Sciences and academies of sciences of the union republics did not have the opportunity to develop in this way. This specificity of the development of the Ukrainian Academy is due to the initiative of its president, Academician B.Ye. Paton and his perseverance in implementing this course. The article uses materials from official statistics, supplemented by the author's impressions and observations, because he observed these processes both from within, working at the NAS of Ukraine, and from outside, visiting most research centers and branches of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

Waste load allocation for rivers has been a topic of growing interest. Dynamic programming based algorithms are particularly attractive in this context and are widely reported in the literature. Codes developed for dynamic programming are however complex, require substantial computer resources and importantly do not allow interactions of the user. Further, there is always resistance to utilizing mathematical programming based algorithms for practical applications. There has been therefore always a gap between theory and practice in systems analysis in water quality management. This paper presents various heuristic algorithms to bridge this gap with supporting comparisons with dynamic programming based algorithms. These heuristics make a good use of the insight gained in the system's behaviour through experience, a process akin to the one adopted by field personnel and therefore can readily be understood by a user familiar with the system. Also they allow user preferences in decision making via on-line interaction. Experience has shown that these heuristics are indeed well founded and compare very favourably with the sophisticated dynamic programming algorithms. Two examples have been included which demonstrate such a success of the heuristic algorithms.

Computing the sparse fast Fourier transform (sFFT) has emerged as a critical topic for a long time because of its high efficiency and wide practicability. More than twenty different sFFT algorithms compute discrete Fourier transform (DFT) by their unique methods so far. In order to use them properly, the urgent topic of great concern is how to analyze and evaluate the performance of these algorithms in theory and practice. This paper mainly discusses the technology and performance of sFFT algorithms using the aliasing filter. In the first part, the paper introduces the three frameworks: the one-shot framework based on the compressed sensing (CS) solver, the peeling framework based on the bipartite graph and the iterative framework based on the binary tree search. Then, we obtain the conclusion of the performance of six corresponding algorithms: the sFFT-DT1.0, sFFT-DT2.0, sFFT-DT3.0, FFAST, R-FFAST, and DSFFT algorithms in theory. In the second part, we make two categories of experiments for computing the signals of different SNRs, different lengths, and different sparsities by a standard testing platform and record the run time, the percentage of the signal sampled, and the L0, L1, and L2 errors both in the exactly sparse case and the general sparse case. The results of these performance analyses are our guide to optimize these algorithms and use them selectively.

This paper describes recent research on the design, implement, and testing of a new small-scaled rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (RUAV) system—ServoHeli-40. A turbine-powered UAV weighted less than 15 kg was designed, and its major components were tested at the Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenyang, China. The aircraft was designed to reach a top speed of more than 20 mps, flying a distance of more than 10 kilometers, and it is going to be used as a test-bed for experimentally evaluating advanced control methodologies dedicated on improving the maneuverability, reliability, as well as autonomy of RUAV. Sensors and controller are all onboard. The full system has been tested successfully in the autonomous mode using the multichannel active modeling controller. The results show that in a real windy environment the rotorcraft UAV can follow the trajectory which was assigned by the ground control station exactly, and the new control method is obviously more effective than the one in the past year's research.

Medieval Italian Comuni are often considered as one of the cradles of the modern capitalist spirit. Comuni introduced economic legislation in an attempt to counteract restrictions to competition on the one hand and to control the price of certain goods and services on the other. Price control of basic commodities was often motivated by reasons of public order – such as preventing commoners’ riots. Despite some loose analogies with the modern European Union competition law approach to pricing – namely in the area of excessive pricing – the Italian medieval Comuni pricing theory and practice substantially differed from the modern European Union one. Medieval theory struggled in reconciling market mechanisms with costs analysis and missed the distinction between efficiency and distribution. Moreover, medieval Comuni market variables were substantially divergent from the modern European ones. Despite Comuni being the wealthiest areas in Europe in those days, their consumers had significantly lower buying power, they were affected by different cognitive biases than modern consumers and they were highly segmented from a gender perspective. Medieval producers, that is artisans, did not enjoy the degree of market power that characterizes modern oligopolists. Artisans produced goods for merchants who were the main promoters of trade and economic development. Merchants often succeeded in squeezing artisans’ profits, granting consumers lower prices for manufactured goods, at times also thanks to free trade policies pursued by Comuni administrations.

ABSTRACTIn the vibrant current debate about European empires and their ideologies, one basic dichotomy still tends to be overlooked: that between, on the one hand, the plurality of modern empires of colonisation, commerce and settlement; and, on the other, the traditional claim to single and undividedimperiumso long embodied in the Roman Empire and its successor, the Holy Roman Empire, or (First) Reich. This paper examines the tensions between the two, as manifested in the theory and practice of Habsburg imperial rule. The Habsburgs, emperors of the Reich almost continuously through its last centuries, sought to build their own power-base within and beyond it. The first half of the paper examines how by the eighteenth century their ‘Monarchy’, subsisting alongside the Reich, dealt with the associated legacy of empire. After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 the Habsburgs could pursue a free-standing Austrian ‘imperialism’, but it rested on an uneasy combination of old and new elements and was correspondingly vulnerable to challenge from abroad and censure at home. The second half of the article charts this aspect of Habsburg government through an age of international imperialism and its contribution to the collapse of the Dual Monarchy in 1918.
