Implementation of an E-Learning System in Dental Education

The purpose of the study is to consider the features of the implementation of an e-learning system at the Institute of Dentistry named after E.V. Borovsky at First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University) was studied and the assessment of intermediate result was performed. In order to assess the intermediate effectiveness of the introduction of an e-learning system, an anonymous survey of 2 independent groups of respondents was conducted. The results of the study of the e-learning system and the intermediate assessment of its effectiveness have confirmed the success of its implementation. Most respondents who acted as experts in the anonymous survey highly assessed the training system. Based on the statistical analysis, the reliability of the assessment of the intermediate effectiveness of the introduction of an e-learning system in dental education was determined. It can be concluded that the values differ in the two groups of respondents.

Parliamentary Elections in Bulgaria and Moldova. Take 2

The subject of the article is repeat parliamentary elections in two countries by mere chance run on the same date. The external parallels of both election campaigns, such as the low turnout and the importance of voters from abroad, the continuing relevance of the agenda of toplevel corruption, the electoral failure of the socialists in both rounds are striking, and are scrutinized in the article. However, the outcomes of the campaigns are very different. In Bulgaria, even the second attempt to renew the government and the political class ended with an uncertain intermediate result, and its main triumphant Slavi Trifonov’s standing is far from looking encouraging. The success of the new counter-elite force and its leader is not promising to end the political crisis and is remindful of the previous scenarios already seen twice in Bulgaria: the unexpected rise of political psychics and the subsequent shift of sympathies to the next idol of the masses. In Moldova, the renovators succeeded in consolidating their grip on power and securing impressive credit of popular trust thus making a credible step towards implementation of their promises. It remains to keep track of who will be more successful.

SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF CREATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF TOWER STRUCTURES

In accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 899 of July 7, 2011, a list of critical technologies has been approved in our country, among which there are “technologies for creating energy-saving systems for the transportation, distribution and use of energy” [1]. First of all, we are talking here about electrical energy, and in the composition of these systems it is possible to distinguish not only the electrical part, but also the component associated with the construction of construction infrastructure. For the development of the economy in the technological area under consideration, appropriate scientific and methodological support is necessary, personnel who have mastered this support, then the formation of new or the use of existing relevant organizational structures in the ministries of construction and energy, in the design business and in production, and ultimately all of the above follows consolidate at the level of laws and standards. The place of the author's research in this development strategy is the development of scientific and methodological support for the creation of tower structures for the energy sector. The intermediate result of these studies is the monograph [2]. The topic was further developed in articles [3-16].

Video Super-Resolution Based on Generative Adversarial Network and Edge Enhancement

With the help of deep neural networks, video super-resolution (VSR) has made a huge breakthrough. However, these deep learning-based methods are rarely used in specific situations. In addition, training sets may not be suitable because many methods only assume that under ideal circumstances, low-resolution (LR) datasets are downgraded from high-resolution (HR) datasets in a fixed manner. In this paper, we proposed a model based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and edge enhancement to perform super-resolution (SR) reconstruction for LR and blur videos, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV). The adversarial loss allows discriminators to be trained to distinguish between SR frames and ground truth (GT) frames, which is helpful to produce realistic and highly detailed results. The edge enhancement function uses the Laplacian edge module to perform edge enhancement on the intermediate result, which helps further improve the final results. In addition, we add the perceptual loss to the loss function to obtain a higher visual experience. At the same time, we also tried training network on different datasets. A large number of experiments show that our method has advantages in the Vid4 dataset and other LR videos.

Line and surface defects for the free scalar field

For a single free scalar field in d ≥ 2 dimensions, almost all the unitary conformal defects must be ‘trivial’ in the sense that they cannot hold interesting dynamics. The only possible exceptions are monodromy defects in d ≥ 4 and co-dimension three defects in d ≥ 5. As an intermediate result we show that the n-point correlation functions of a conformal theory with a generalized free spectrum must be those of the generalized free theory.

Lineviewer — program of the astro space locator (asl) package for constructing and processing averaged spectra

LineViewer program operation a description and demonstration is presented. It is focused on the galactic and extragalactic masers primary spectra processing and visualization of observational data obtained with the SRT-10 space radio telescope (the “Radioastron” project). LineViewer is written in C ++ and is intended for correcting the signal bandwidth, constructing and analyzing the maser sources spectra averaged over time and fringe rate, and identifying maser spectral lines. The LineViewer software allows to analyze quickly the intermediate result and adjust it to obtain the relevant parameters for improving or detecting the correlation in spectral lines.

An Extremum Principle for Smooth Problems

We derive an extremum principle. It can be treated as an intermediate result between the celebrated smooth-convex extremum principle due to Ioffe and Tikhomirov and the Dubovitskii–Milyutin theorem. The proof of this principle is based on a simple generalization of the Fermat’s theorem, the smooth-convex extremum principle and the local implicit function theorem. An integro-differential example illustrating the new principle is presented.

Cyrillic writing system: from Slavic to Romanian

The article is devoted to Cyrillic handwritten books of the XIII–XIX centuries, created in the Romanian principalities, and stored today in the manuscript collections of the Russian State Library. The uniqueness of the writing system, functioning in the principalities (Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania) since their political formation, is that it was a Cyrillic script based on the old Slavic language with a predominant Roman-speaking population. In course of the writing system’ development in the principalities, there was a transition from the Slavic font to the Latin one; the intermediate result of this transition was the creation of monuments written in Romanian language with Cyrillic script. The main stages of this process are considered by reference to the specific examples of unique handwritten books and their fragments that have become objects for collecting by scientists, antiquaries, and Old Believers, whose book collections have formed the basis of the handwritten collections of the Russian State Library. They are the oldest Cyrillic manuscripts and their fragments dated to the XII–XIV centuries, found on the territory of Romania, Slavic manuscripts, produced mainly in monasteries of principalities in the XV–XVII centuries, translations of individual words into the Romanian language in the rewritten Slavic texts in the XVI century; the glosses and comments in Romanian on the margins of Slavic manuscripts in the XVI–XVIII centuries; numerous notes in the Romanian language in the manuscripts of the XVI–XVIII centuries, made by owners and readers; translations of literary monuments, including bilingual (Slavic–Romanian) and trilingual (Slavic–Latin–Romanian) versions in the XVI–XVIII centuries; Romanian–Slavic and Slavic–Romanian dictionaries in the XVII–XVIII centuries; letters and their copies in the Romanian language (sureties) in the XVI–XIX centuries. The article is an intermediate outcome of studying and describing Cyrillic Romanian handwritten books in the collections of the Russian State Library, which will result in the publication of a hard–copy catalog.

Newly Found Dunhuang Fragments of Śatasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā in the Collection of the IOM, RAS

the paper presents eleven fragments of Śatasāhasrikā Prajāpāramitā identified during analysis of Khara-khoto collection of Tibetan texts kept in the IOM, RAS. In 2019 as an intermediate result of a project Compilation of the Catalogue of the Tibetan texts from Khara-Khoto preserved at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, RAS being done by researchers of the institute thirty-three fragments that had been added to Khara-khoto collection by mistake, were transferred to a separate collection of Tibetan texts from Dunhuang. Although the edited fragments of Śatasāhasrikā Prajāpāramitā cannot be considered to be unique they are worth studying in terms of codicology.

Determination of the required power for bus hybrid engine

This article presents a methodology for determining the required engine power of hybrid city buses. The vehicle’s driving cycle and its main technical characteristics were used as the initial data. The calculated change in power on the driving wheels is an intermediate result and is used to analyze the chains of energy transfer from gasoline engine to driving wheels. In this approach, a sequential type of circuit in a hybrid drive is used. A bus weighing 4 tons was considered as an example, and the calculations showed that the maximum power of the internal combustion engine should be 15.2 kW.
