Introduction. The integration of computer technologies into various fields of science allows the development of new methodologies, hybrid information systems with advanced capabilities, such as EcoIS bioinformation system for monitoring the environment with the use of biological data detectors.Problem Statement. The development of innovation bioinformation systems with biological data detectors is a very important task, as they have numerous advantages: allow rapid diagnostics and testing of chemicals in thefirst moments of their action, may be incorporated easily into electronic registration systems, may serve as elementary analytical units with data coding capabilities, etc.Purpose. The purpose of this research is to make a comprehensive analysis of different types of biological data detectors to develop a physical model of a biosensor capable of encoding signals and a bioinformation system with such detectors.Materials and Methods. The comparative analysis of information systems with functions of ecomonitoring and different types of biosensors have been used; the data are taken from electrophysiological experiments on registration of chemosensitive transmembrane electric currents in voltage clamp and patch clamp modes.Results. The physical model of biosensor has been developed and tested. The integration of the developed biosensors into the electronic bioinformation system by the example of EcoIS authors’ system has been demonstrated. Neuron-like biosensor has been considered an abstraction in the unity of its functions: signal receiver — filter — analyzer — encoder/decoder, where the input information is obtained in the form of chemical structures or electrical signals, after the conversion (recoding) of information it is registered as electrical signals with changed characteristics. The prospects for developing the cutting-edge methods for information protection in systems with biosensors have been shown. Conclusions. This development may be used for creating a bioinformation system for environmental moni toring with integrated biosensor system and data protection based on the principles and achievements of contemporary biophysics.
Purpose. The purpose of the work was to demonstrate the applications of methods of database construction on the example of information about rainbow trout and viral infections affecting it. In process of such databases construction for electronic information systems it is necessary to find the ways of biological data preparation for each of solved tasks, than to make an adequate processing of these input data. Further step is the use of the methods of object-oriented system analysis for the aforementioned database construction in optimal way.Methodology. The methods of object-oriented system analysis, ER-diagram design, and the methods of computer databases construction were used in process of present work fulfillment.Findings. At the initial stage of the work some fish databases known in the world were observed. The peculiarities of biological objects (fishes) that have to be taken into account for this task fulfillment were analyzed. Further the approach of object-oriented analysis for constructing of computer databases in optimal manner was suggested. The first logical steps of algorithm for construction of databases with relative information about fish were described as well the practical recommendations for the development of databases with information concerning domestic biological organisms (on example of rainbow trout, its viral infection) for electronic information systems were done.Originality. No large-scale implementation of contemporary information-computer technologies in Ukraine was done yet. The obtained results would be contributed to further intensive implementation of contemporary information technologies for the development of domestic fishery industry.Practical value. Rainbow trout is important specie for fishery economy; its studying as well as viral infections affecting it are of great value for food safety. Information computer technologies application suggested in the work would make this branch of economy more effective in Ukraine and in the whole world.
For the first time we compiled a full checklist of the spontaneous flora of O.V. Fomin Botanical Garden of Taras Shevchenko National University, Kyiv. Native (281) and alien (243) taxa of the flora were analyzed. Among the alien species there are 115 xenophytes (including 71 archaeophytes and 44 neophytes), 128 ergasiophygophytes (including 3 archaeophytes and 125 neophytes). Four species of alien plants were listed for the first time for the flora of Ukraine: Arabis procurrens, Lactuca sibirica, Polanisia dodecandra subsp. trachysperma and Talinum paniculatum. It was found that the alien fraction of the flora is dominated by a stable component (54.7%), and among the ergasiophygophytes, most taxa (86.3%) are unstable components. Among the native plants, those species with a polyregional distribution predominate. This ratio is typical for transformed flora that have lost their natural structure. Among the alien species, the majority are sub-Mediterranean (43.6%), American (23.9%) and Asian (18.1%) in origin. In the biomorphological structure of the species of native plants perennial grasses predominate (65.3%), among xenophytes - annual grasses are dominant (74.8%), and among ergasiophygophytes perennial grasses predominate (43.8%). But despite the large number of alien plants in the botanical garden, their invasion can be mostly contained. The most widespread invasive plant is Parthenocissus vitacea, in addition, a number of potentially invasive plants need monitoring, in particular Parietaria officinalis, Phytolacca acinosa, Thladiantha dubia and some others. In addition, there is a list of introductions which have high naturalization rates and over time could replenish the composition of the spontaneous flora.
Purpose. Purpose of the work is to create fish databases using rainbow trout data and basing on new methods of theoretical analysis of fish data and their ordering in hierarchical structures with elements represented as relation tables linked through a system with primary keys with specific codes.Methodology. The methods of object-oriented system analysis, ER-diagram design, and the methods of computer databases construction were used in process of present work.Findings. Some well-known fish databases (seafood, aquaculture samples) were reviewed and some of their peculiarities are analyzed from the point of view of professional construction of relational databases within modern electronic information systems. The ways of the construction of such databases for domestic use in connection with the Internet were proposed. A number of algorithm stages for fish database design was described on the example of the information on rainbow trout and locations of its occurrence (catches) in Ukraine; ER-diagram, logical diagram of such database with its elements that can be presented in tables are suggested as well. Such tables should be unmistakably interconnected through the key system, and this procedure is described in detail in the article, as well as the creation of specific key codes, their formation and use to form links between the tables. The implementation of described works can be considered as one of the first stages in the development of interactive map with information of the fish species distribution (and locations of their catches) in Ukraine.Originality. Such important modern project as an interactive map with the information on the distribution of fish species (and locations of their catches) based on modern information and computer technologies using biological databases has not been implemented yet in Ukraine. The work described in this article is the first step in creating of such a map that will facilitate further intensive introduction of modern information technologies and the development of domestic fishery industry.Practical value. Rainbow trout is an important object for fishery industry of the country; and development of interactive electronic map with the information on the spread of the rainbow trout and other fish species (and places of their catches) in Ukraine is an important step for the transformation of fishery industry in our country to the contemporary level of the world technologies and for the provision of food safety. Using of contemporary computer technologies suggested in the this article, would make this branch more effective in Ukraine and in the whole world.
