During the summer and autumn of 2018, archaeologists from the NSU Humanities Research Laboratory studied the Tesinsky Gulf-3 burial site. It is located on the left bank of the Yenisei River (now the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir), in the Bogradsky District in the Republic of Khakassia. This is one of the largest burial grounds of the Tashtyk culture that existed on the territory of the Minusinsk Basin from II CE - VII century BCE. The burial ground consists of more than 80 graves, with surface markers of various sizes. Although discovered during an expedition several years ago, it was not until 2017 that NSU archaeologists began excavation of the site. In 2018, work was resumed in collaboration with students from the NSU Department of Geology and Geophysics and two other Siberian universities.
Boris Nyushkov, Sergey Kobtsev and Arkady Yakovlev, scientists at the NSU Laser Physics and Innovation Technologies Division (LPITD), and their colleagues at the Institute of Laser Physics SB RAS published an article in the English IOP Publishing house鈥檚 leading journal 鈥淟aser Physics Letters鈥�. Their article was in the Journal鈥檚 Top 3 in the 鈥淔iber Optics and Fiber Lasers鈥� category in 2017.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons for seeking medical attention in developed countries. Surprisingly, little is known about the biological root of this symptom.
吃瓜官网 scientists Elena Boldyreva and Sergey Adonin were included in the Publons website list of the best journal article reviewers and editors.
On October 1-5, the 69th Annual International Aerospace Congress IAC-2018 was held in Bremen (Germany). The NSU Small Space Apparatus Laboratory, together with the company OKB Fifth Generation, presented their project to create a modular platform for ultra-small spacecraft.
The main objective of the recent seminar, 鈥淣on-Equilibrium Processing of Materials: Experiments and Modeling鈥�, was to strengthen cooperation between NSU, Tohoku University and SB RAS institutes in the field of materials science. Scientists from Japan, Russia, Germany and France took part in the Seminar. The event featured 77 reports, 33 of these were invited plenary presentations. Young scientists at booths presented the rest during an exhibition after providing brief introductions about their reports to the whole group.
The RSCI database is a Russian project based on RSCI public platform material. RSCI is integrated with the international Web of Science (WoS) citation database, so publications included in RSCI are automatically included in WoS. In 2018 RSCI recognized 773 Russian scientific journals in all RSCI subject areas (overall, there are about 5,000 journals).
On September 11, 2018, Comet 21P / Giacobini-Zinner passed the Earth鈥檚 orbit point closest to the Sun and was at a relatively short distance from the planet (58.6 million km). This caused the comet to reach a seven star magnitude of brightness, which meant it was almost observable by the naked eye. Most comets that can be observed with the naked eye are not in the visible part of the sky. However, some comets can be observed with a slight magnification. The Comet 21P / Giacobini-Zinner is notably visible with telescopes and binoculars, and has become a good subject to photograph. Mikhail Maslov, a leading engineer at the NSU Observatory, was able to capture it.
Elena Boldyreva, Doctor of Chemistry, leading research scientist at the G.K. Boreskova Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, and Head of the Department of Solid State Chemistry at NSU鈥檚 Natural Sciences Department was elected a member of the European Academy.
Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has published the results of the annual QS University Rankings: BRICS 2018, that rates the best universities in the BRICS countries. The Rankings include universities in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Olga Chashchina received her Master鈥檚 Degree from the NSU Physics Department and then graduated from the 脡cole Polytechnique in France under a double degree program. She is currently working at the 脡cole Polytechnique Laboratory of Hydrodynamics under the guidance of Professor Abdul Barakat. Her research involves fundamental questions related to the development of cardiovascular diseases (such as atherosclerosis) and the creation of experimental models for testing endovascular implants.
The key characteristic of research internships at NSU are their focus on fundamental science. This year, in addition to traditional subjects in the fields of biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology, archeology, and economics, there were internships in metalinguistics.
