چکیده
MAO NASU glass archive encloses about 1800 photographic plates with planets and their satellites (including near 80 images of Uranus, Pluto and Neptune), about 1700 plates with minor planets and about 900 plates with comets. Plates were made during 1949-1999 using 11 telescopes of different focus, mostly the Double Wide-angle Astrograph (F/D=2000/400) and the Double Long-focus Astrograph (F/D=5500/400) of MAO NASU. Observational sites are Kiev (Ukraine), Lviv (Ukraine), Biurakan (Armenia), Abastumani (Georgia), Mt. Maidanak (Uzbekistan), Quito (Equador). Tables 1 and 2 contain data about the most significant numbers of plates sub-divided by years and objects. The database with metadata of plates (DB GPA) is available on the computer cluster of MAO (http://gua.db.ukr-vo.org) via open access. The database accumulates archives of four Ukrainian observatories, involving the UkrVO national project. Together with the archive managing system, the database serves as a test area for JDA Joint Digital Archive the core of the UkrVO [2].

PHOTOCONSORTIUM: Digitizing Europe's Photographic Heritage
Photoconsortium is an association of photographic archives that contributed over 450.000 images of early photography to Europeana. In this contribution we discuss lessons learned, in particular on digitization and copy‐ right issues and describe the activities involved in managing state-of-the-art digi‐ tized photographic archives. We discuss follow-on project activities such as Europeana Space...
متن کاملThe Science of Digitizing Paintings for Color-Accurate Image Archives: A Review
storage, retrieval, and display (both in soft and printed forms) with an eye on cost, time, and who will do the work is extremely challenging.1–3 Because the scope of this publication is limited to direct digital capture of paintings and will not address digitizing photographic collections or photographic reproductions of paintings, conservation issues are especially important. The process of d...
متن کاملAn Epidemiological Study of Hypoderma Infection and Control Using Ivermectin in Yaks in Qinghai Province, China
The prevalence of Hypoderma spp. in yaks grazed in the east of Qinghai province was investigated in 2008. In this area, the prevalence in young yaks (1- to 3-year-old) was very high at 82.2-98.7%, whilst in adult yaks (4-year-old and older), the prevalence was 42.4-50.6%. The seasonal development and migration pattern of Hypoderma larvae in yak bodies was found to be similar for different locat...
متن کاملSkipping Selected Steps of DWT Computation in Lossless JPEG 2000 for Improved Bitrates
In order to improve bitrates of lossless JPEG 2000, we propose to modify the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) by skipping selected steps of its computation. We employ a heuristic to construct the skipped steps DWT (SS-DWT) in an image-adaptive way and define fixed SS-DWT variants. For a large and diverse set of images, we find that SS-DWT significantly improves bitrates of non-photographic imag...
متن کاملEffect of flavonoid quercetin on stress-induced gastric ulcer in rats
Introduction: Mental stress is one of the most important causes of the gastric ulcer. On the other hand, flavonoids such as quercetin show protective effects. The aim of this study was to investigate possible protective effect of quercetin on water restraint stress-induced ulcer in rats. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups each containing eight animals. The first g...
