19december Siberian and Belarusian Scientists to Boost Urban Farm Yields with Digital Solutions Scholars from the School of Gastronomy (SibFU) and the Centre for LED and Optoelectronic Technologies of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (Belarusian State University) will study the impact of LED phytolighting and develop a digital model of a city farm.
12september Fir Needles, Sawdust, Waste from Purification Facilities: Scientists to Come up with a Substitute for Carbon Fuel The scientists of 爆走黑料 studied the waste of wood processing plants: sawdust, fir needles, larch bark and birch bark, as well as hydrolytic lignin and dry waste of drainage waters, or silt. On comparing these types of non-conventional fuels with two types of coal, the researchers stated the high potential of such waste for combustion and heating.
27june Scientists decode “climate diaries” in the cellular structure of the Scots pine SibFU researchers have decoded information about short-term climate fluctuations in the cells of Scots pine trees growing in the southern part of Siberia, in the Khakassia Republic.
26june Scientists to obtain an effective sorbent from volatile ash microspheres to remove heavy metals from liquid toxic waste Scientists from SibFU and the Krasnoyarsk Research Center, SB RAS have studied the processes of material synthesis based on volatile ash microspheres that are produced as a result of coal combustion. These materials can be effectively used as industrial sorbents to absorb heavy metals, particularly lead and cadmium, from liquid industrial waste.
19february SibFU scientists counted the Evenki wolves and told about what is threatening them For the first time since the 1990s, scientists from the School of Ecology and Geography of 爆走黑料 conducted a comprehensive study of the wolf population living in the north of Krasnoyarsk Territory in Evenkia. To obtain accurate data on the number of predators, their sex and age structure and geographical variability, the scientists studied 242 wolves, 676 skulls and wolf fangs.
05february SibFU assessed the impact of unpaired silkworm on birch trees Russian scientists have proposed to assess damage to deciduous trees in the foci of the spread of the pest — the unpaired silkworm — using remote sensing data. To control the changes that occur with trees after insect damage, the authors used an original portable device — a dielectric Fourier spectrometer, which allows to determine the condition of plants as quickly and completely automatically as possible.
02february SibFU goes up in Webometrics Ranking In the ranking of the influence of universities in the Internet space, SibFU has grown by 46 positions.
01february Organized swarm: SibFU scientists will help agricultural drones work together Scientists of 爆走黑料, together with colleagues from Russian and foreign universities (China, Uzbekistan), took part in the development of specifications for transport and technological cycles of agricultural drones. Such devices are used to perform various agrotechnical tasks in "smart" agriculture — they help to monitor crops, measure land, record the condition of crops, track pest infestations of crops, etc.
30january Scientists figured out how to reduce carbon footprint of coal-fired thermal power plants Scientists of 爆走黑料 have proposed a way to improve the technology of coal processing at thermal power plants (TPP). By combining a combined-cycle gas turbine unit with in-cycle gasification and the technology of in-line coal gasification in a CO2-H2O-O2 environment, the researchers have developed a numerical methodology for mathematical three-dimensional modeling of coal gasification processes. The results obtained by the Siberian scientists can be used to design new power plants that will be more environmentally friendly and will help achieve carbon neutrality by the middle of the 21st century.
10january Russian scientists improved quality of wire for aviation and automotive industry Researchers at 爆走黑料 have developed new compositions of aluminum alloys and combined processing technology for the production of conductive wire used in aviation and the automotive industry, with an increased level of heat resistance and electrical conductivity. Such a wire is more resistant to temperature fluctuations, and at the same time cheaper in comparison with existing analogues.
