Developments NDL EDEM is implemented in Ukraine and abroad in EU countries. In particular, Prof. Mokin V.B. and Dratovany M.V. (124 PhD) are carried out by Frprocessing of aerobiological monitoring and meteorology data, the results of which have already published articles in the world's leading Scopus/WoS publications. Previously, a post-graduate student of the SAIT department, a teacher of VNMU named after M. I. Pyrogova Vuzh T., who has already defended her thesis for the degree of Ph.D. from the specialty 05.13.06 - Information technologies under the guidance of V.B. Mokin. and works at VNMU as an associate professor. The winner of the ONP 124 PhD Dratovany M.V. has 2 articles on this topic in Scopus/WoS in co-authorship with V.B.
