Leading researchers of the world meet at the International conference «Analytical and computational methods in the probability theory and its applications»
200 participantsfrom 27 countries (Russia, Latvia, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, USA, Poland, Belorussia, Germany, Brazil. India, Finland, Hungary, France, Israel, Hong-Kong, Japan and Ukraine) discussed modern and future lines of research in different areas of theoretic and applied probability theory in 4 sections:
I. Analytical Methods in Probability Theory and its Applications
II. Computational Methods in Probability Theory and its Applications
III. Asymptotic Methods
IV. History of Mathematics
On the agenda – plenary meetings, the matic sections and round tables.
The collection of 147 articles out of 173 submitted papers will be published by Springer publishing agency (Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, Volume 10684) and indexed in ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Scopus, WoS (Web of Science), EI Engineering Index, Google Scholar, DBLP, etc.
The event has been organized by Lomonosov MSU and RUDN University under the auspices of Moscow Mathematical Society with the support of “5-100” Project and information support of Gnedenko-Forum.
A RUDN agrotechnologist has identified wheat genotypes that are resistant to a dangerous fungal pathogen that infects plants even before the snow melts and reduces yields.
RUDN University engineers have calculated the parameters of a system that can prevent lunar power plants from overheating. These developments will be needed when planning for long-term lunar missions and colonizing the satellite.
Landfills are the third largest source of anthropogenic methane in the world. They account for ~11% of estimated global emissions. Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and is the second largest driver of man-made climate change. Scientists from around the world met at Zhejiang University's Hangzhou campus to determine the best available technologies for recovering energy and materials from non-recyclable residual waste.
