Development of thermal LED Model
One of the main tasks of modern lighting technology is to increase the reliability of LED technology. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to ensure an effective cooling of LEDs, since the values of their parameters depend substantially on the temperature of a crystal. This dependence makes a significant effect on the reliability of a lamp or a luminaire. Thus, in order to increase the reliability of LED technology, it is necessary to calculate the thermal operating conditions of LEDs at the design stage, taking into account a cooling system in use. There are many programs designed to simulate thermal processes, however, such programs use primitive, substantially simplified LED models, and do not allow to recreate electrical and thermal regimes close to real ones. In order to conduct a more accurate simulation, it is required to create new electric and thermal models of LEDs, which are based on real values of the electric-physical and geometric parameters of the instruments. The article considers the thermal model of LED produced by the company SemiLEDs developed in the Multisim program. They performed the calculation of the processes taking place in the light-emitting diodes during their work in a luminaire. The obtained results indicate the possibility of the used approach application for the analysis of various LED light sources. The created models will allow to reveal unfavorable thermal operating modes for LEDs and, accordingly, to take measures to increase the reliability of fixtures.Keywords: temperature dependence of characteristics, high-power LED, current-voltage characteristic, flux-current characteristic

Status of ART-XC/SRG Instrument
Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) is an X-ray astrophysical observatory, developed by Russia in collaboration with Germany. The mission will be launched in March 2016 from Baikonur, by a Zenit rocket with a Fregat booster and placed in a 6-month-period halo orbit around L2. The scientific payload consists of two independent telescopes - a soft-x-ray survey instrument, eROSITA, being provided by Germany and a medium-x-ray-energy survey instrument ART-XC being developed by Russia. ART-XC will consist of seven independent, but co-aligned, telescope modules. The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is fabricating the flight mirror modules for the ART-XC/SRG. Each mirror module will be aligned with a focal plane CdTe double-sided strip detectors which will operate over the energy range of 6-30 keV, with an angular resolution of less than 1, a field of view of approximately 34 and an expected energy resolution of about 10 percent at 14 keV

Addressing the Black Box of AI – A Model and Research Agenda on the Co-Constitution of Aging and Artificial Intelligence
Algorithmic technologies and (large) data infrastructures, often referred to as Artificial Intelligence (AI), have received increasing attention from gerontological research in the last decade. While there is much literature that dissects and explores the development, application, and evaluation of AI relevant for gerontology, this article makes a novel contribution by critically engaging with the theorizing in this growing field of research. We observe that gerontology’s engagement with AI is shaped by an interventionist logic that situates AI as a black box for gerontological research. We demonstrate how this black box logic has neglected many aspects of AI as a research topic for gerontology and discuss three classical concepts in gerontology to show how they can be used to open various black boxes of aging and AI in the areas: a) the datafication of aging, b) the political economy of AI and aging, and c) everyday engagements and embodiments of AI in later life. In the final chapter, we propose a model of the co-constitution of aging and AI that makes theoretical propositions to study the relational terrain between aging and AI and hence aims to open the black box of AI in gerontology beyond an interventionist logic.Vera Gallistl’s work on this paper has been funded by the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) and by the State of Lower Austria through project ICT20-055 (Grant-ID: 10.47379/ICT20055).

ART-XC: A Medium-energy X-ray Telescope System for the Spectrum-R-Gamma Mission
The ART-XC instrument is an X-ray grazing-incidence telescope system in an ABRIXAS-type optical configuration optimized for the survey observational mode of the Spectrum-RG astrophysical mission which is scheduled to be launched in 2011. ART-XC has two units, each equipped with four identical X-ray multi-shell mirror modules. The optical axes of the individual mirror modules are not parallel but are separated by several degrees to permit the four modules to share a single CCD focal plane detector, 1/4 of the area each. The 450-micron-thick pnCCD (similar to the adjacent eROSITA telescope detector) will allow detection of X-ray photons up to 15 keV. The field of view of the individual mirror module is about 18 x 18 arcminutes(exp 2) and the sensitivity of the ART-XC system for 4 years of survey will be better than 10(exp -12) erg s(exp -1) cm(exp -2) over the 4-12 keV energy band. This will allow the ART-XC instrument to discover several thousand new AGNs
The ART-XC telescope on board the SRG observatory
ART-XC (Astronomical Roentgen Telescope - X-ray Concentrator) is the hard
X-ray instrument with grazing incidence imaging optics on board the
Spektr-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory. The SRG observatory is the flagship
astrophysical mission of the Russian Federal Space Program, which was
successively launched into orbit around the second Lagrangian point (L2) of the
Earth-Sun system with a Proton rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome on 13 July
2019. The ART-XC telescope will provide the first ever true imaging all-sky
survey performed with grazing incidence optics in the 4-30 keV energy band and
will obtain the deepest and sharpest map of the sky in the energy range of 4-12
keV. Observations performed during the early calibration and performance
verification phase as well as during the on-going all-sky survey that started
on 12 Dec. 2019 have demonstrated that the in-flight characteristics of the
ART-XC telescope are very close to expectations based on the results of ground
calibrations. Upon completion of its 4-year all-sky survey, ART-XC is expected
to detect ~5000 sources (~3000 active galactic nuclei, including heavily
obscured ones, several hundred clusters of galaxies, ~1000 cataclysmic
variables and other Galactic sources), and to provide a high-quality map of the
Galactic background emission in the 4-12 keV energy band. ART-XC is also well
suited for discovering transient X-ray sources. In this paper, we describe the
telescope, results of its ground calibrations, major aspects of the mission,
the in-flight performance of ART-XC and first scientific results.Comment: 19 pages, 30 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy and

Distribution pattern of TLR-2, TLR-4, CD68, CD45R0, interacting with the antigens parodontopatogens in the cells of mucosal gingival in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis
The article analyzes the expression of TLR-2 and TLR-4 receptor of epithelial cells, the distribution of CD68 positive cells and CD45R0 positive T lymphocyte inflammatory infiltrate in the compartments of the gums of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis of medium severity on the background of the initial course of periodontal treatment. Treatment included pharmacological - machining of teeth, tooth roots, periodontal pockets, teaching oral hygiene using the ruler of 'ASEPTA', eliminating areas for retention of microbial plaque, temporary splinting and prosthetics. An expression is derived clinical benefit. Before treatment was determined by high expression of TLR-2 and TLR-4 on the surface of epithelial cells of the gums, and in the inflammatory infiltrate detected a large number of cells of the immune synapse of participants (CD45R0-T lymphocytes and CD68 + macrophages). After treatment significantly decreased expression of TLR-2 and TLR-4 on the surface of epithelial cells of the gums, while in his own plate of mucous membrane gums preserved population CD68 + macrophages, CD45R0 T lymphocytes, indicating the reduction of the barrier function of the epithelium and capable to run the aggravation of inflammation in the case of excessive growth parodontopatogenov in the area of periodontal pockets.В статье проведен анализ характера экспрессии TLR-2 и TLR-4 рецепторов зпителиоцитов, распределения CD68 позитивных клеток и CD45RO позитивных Т лимфоцитов воспалительного инфильтрата в компартментах десны больных хроническим генерализованным пародонтитом средней степени тяжести на фоне начального курса пародонтологического лечения. Лечение включало фармако - механическую обработку зубов, корней зубов, пародонтальных карманов, обучение гигиене полости рта с использованием линейки средств «АСЕПТА». устранения зон ретенции для микробного налета, временное шинирование и протезирование зубов. Получен выраженный клинический эффект. До лечения определялся высокий уровень экспрессии TLR-2 и TLR-4 на поверхности зпителиоцитов десны, а в воспалительном инфильтрате зафиксировано большое количество клеток участников иммунного синапса (С045Р0-Т-лимф0циты и CD68+ макрофаги). После лечения статистически значимо уменьшилась экспрессия TLR-2 и TLR-4 на поверхности эпителиоцитов десны, при этом в собственной пластинке слизистой оболочки десны сохранились популяции CD68+ макрофагов CD45RO Т лимфоцитов, свидетельствующие о снижение барьерной функции эпителия и способные запустить обострение воспаления в случае избыточного роста пародонтопатогенов в зоне пародонтальных карманов
