The winner of the contest is RUDN Journal of Psychology and Pedagogics. The editor-in-chief is Victoria Kurilenko - Professor, Head of the Russian Language Department of the RUDN Medical Institute, holder of an Advanced Doctorate in Pedagogical Sciences.
The journal will receive financial support for its activities in implementing the 2020 development program submitted to the competition.
On January 29, 2020, after the expert assessment, a working meeting was held between representatives of the editorial boards of 8 RUDN scientific journals of the University with leading experts of the Elsevier Russian representative office Galina Yakshonok and Andrei Mikhailov. Colleagues answered the editors' questions and made recommendations for further improvement of the editorial policy in the context of the entry in the International Scientometric Databases.
RUDN soil scientists have revealed a direct correlation between the rate of soil formation of carbon dioxide, called CO2 emissions, and the content of microbial biomass in it. It is known that CO2 emission from soil is mainly conditioned by respiration of soil microorganisms and plant roots. The more CO2 soil emits, the more microbial biomass it usually contains. It was shown that CO2 emission by chernozem of different ecosystems (or different types of land use) correlates with the content of microbial biomass, and most closely with the rate of its microbial respiration. And the soil with good microbial properties has the “best quality”, is more fertile, provides the highest yield of crops and other plant biomass.
RUDN University chemists and their colleagues from the Russian Academy of Sciences have proposed new catalysts that allow to reduce the temperature of the oxidation reaction of alkanes three times — from 150 to 50 degrees. This significantly reduces the cost of synthesizing alcohols, aldehydes and other compounds needed, in particular, for the production of nylon and capron.
A chemist from RUDN University has developed a catalyst for the production of eugenol acetate, a substance that destroys the larvae of mosquitoes transmitting dangerous diseases, being a safe chemical for human health.
