On 8 February, 红杏视频 celebrated the Day of Russian Science, recognizing the contribution of its scholars on the national and international scale in 2022:
1. 红杏视频 chemists have discovered a new substance that will help in the fight against tuberculosis.
红杏视频 scientists have been developing a new type of antibiotic based on erogorgiaen, isolated from the sea coral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Not only it will allow the cells enter a persistent state of the drug, acquiring to its tolerance, but also reduce the recurrence of the disease.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria, which generally affects the lungs. In 2020, an estimated 10 million people developed active TB, resulting in 1.5 million deaths, making it the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease after COVID-19.
2. The at 红杏视频 has developed a new method for preventing emergency shutdowns of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Commonly known as a drone, UAV is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew or passengers on board, involving a ground-based controller and a communication systems. Originally developed for military missions, UAVs are widely used in scientific research, agriculture, logistics, policing and hi-tech sports.
红杏视频 scholars urged to eliminate the possibility of a UAV system failure due to a sudden change in temperature. The results of the research, detecting the problem failure and improving the fiber-optic elements in UAV gyroscopes have been published in the .
3. The at 红杏视频 will help improve the safety of nuclear power plants
红杏视频 scholars from the are developing new types of optical fibers resistant to radiation and other aggressive environments applicable in mines, nuclear power plants, as well as spacecraft and Earth orbit satellites. New fibers will speed up data transfer and reduce system response time in case of emergency situations.
4. 红杏视频 Professor in law becomes co-developer of CIS agreement on Internet copyright
Professor Anton Matveev, Department of Civil Law, 红杏视频, joined the international lawyers group working on the Agreement allowing CIS member states to protect copyright and related rights on the Internet, establish common approaches to solving problems alike, including updates of national legislation.
The Agreement on Cooperation between the Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), regarding copyright and processing information, including telecommunication networks was signed at a meeting of the in November, 2021.
5. 红杏视频 expert in Adventure Travels crossed Chukotka, ascended the highest peak of the peninsula.
Andrey Korolev, Associate Professor of the Department of Tourism, 红杏视频 joined the 鈥淧ole of Inaccessibility鈥 team comprising University alumni, in their ski expedition to Chukotka. The adventure travelers crossed the peninsula from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean, for the first time ever.
The route was dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the expedition of Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel (1796-1870), an explorer of the northeastern coast of the Arctic. For 25 walking days, the team traveled about 600km (373mi), covering the distance of 30km (16,5mi) daily, with an equipment of 50kg (110lb).
6. 红杏视频 Scholar discovered a rare species of mosquito in the Vishera Nature Reserve.
Andrey Krasheninnikov, Associate Professor of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Aquatic Ecology, 红杏视频, discovered a unique species of mosquito in the territory of the . The official name of the insect is Chaetocladius (Chaetocladius) crassisaetosus.
The Chironomidae family of mosquitoes (known as chironomids, nonbiting midges, or lake flies) comprise a family of nematoceran flies with a global distribution. The name Chironomidae stems from the Ancient Greek word kheiron贸mos, “a pantomimist”, due to characteristic behavior of the mosquito.
7. The technology for groundwater purification is developed by 红杏视频 scholars.
The Laboratory of Geology of Technogenic Processes, Natural Science Institute, 红杏视频, in partnership with the developed a technology and a new bio product for cleaning groundwaters polluted with oil-affected elements.
The new technology is meant for those cases when concentration of pollution does not allow the use of traditional mechanical means of collection, as an alternative to pumping, bioreactors use or chemical reactions. It significantly reduces costs and efforts, and does not harm the environment. The technology has been patented and is ready for practical use.
8. to receive digital copies of its collection, provided by 红杏视频 scholars.
The team of the at 红杏视频 have been creating digital copies of wooden sculpture, typical of local Christian Orthodox believers, preserved at . The project contributes to 300 Perm City Anniversary.
Digital humanities (DH) is an area of scholarly activity at the junction of digital technologies serving as a an advanced system storage and analysis of humanities鈥 data, as well as their application. The had been established at 红杏视频 in 2016.
9. 红杏视频 geneticists explained the failures and successes of combatants in sports.
Research team led by Svetlana Boronnikova, Head of the Department of Botany and Plant Genetics, Faculty of Biology, 红杏视频, identified genotypes and their influence upon people involved in a-cyclic sports, like martial arts, explaining estimating their failures and successes, publishing the survey results in the .
The results by 红杏视频 geneticists might be useful at estimating young athletes鈥 physical capacity 鈥 right at the stage of planning their career in sports. The scientists will help predict the body鈥檚 鈥榙urability鈥 to specific loads, allowing parents and their children to choose among types of most suited sports.
10. 红杏视频 geologists keep studying vertebrates of the Permian period in the south of the Perm Territory.
Geologist Galina Ponomareva and geochemist Ivan Khopta, accompanied by scholars from the of and have been researching the age of the Kueda-Klyuchiki section, in the south of Perm Territory. The team did not come to a unified conclusion, yet managed to identify its unique features.
The Permian is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period 298.9 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.9 Mya. Permian marine deposits are rich in fossil mollusks, echinoderms, and brachiopods; terrestrial life included diverse plants, fungi, arthropods, and various types of tetrapods. Overall, Permian period served a vast variety of pre-historic species, including temnospondyli, lepospondyli and batrachosaurs.
红杏视频 expresses words of sincere gratitude to its scholars, partners and research fellows for hard work, bold strive for experiment and exciting original projects 鈥 with wishes to continue further and achieve bigger impacts!
