Physician RUDN University together with colleagues from Kazakhstan and the United States investigated inflammatory processes in the respiratory tract in workers of the metalworking industry. They are exposed to constant exposure to particulate matter (inhale metal particles) and this can have negative health effects. According to the composition of exhaled air, doctors assessed for which areas of work in production the risk of inflammatory processes in the lungs is more pronounced.
RUDN mathematicians have proposed a model for calculating the optimal parameters of a 5G network for virtual reality applications. It is simpler than analogues and at the same time is not inferior to them in efficiency.
RUDN University chemist together with colleagues from India, Russia and South Africa showed that green microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana can be used for cleaning wastewater from a toxic pyrene. Algae absorb pyrene and at the same time change their metabolism to adapt to stressful conditions. As a result, more lipids are formed in algae, from which safe biofuels can be efficiently synthesized.
Elizaveta Krivonosova is studying Arts and Humanities at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. She became one of four students of RUDN University — finalists of the research competition of the forum “Science of the Future — Science of the Young”. Read about deconstructivism and fashion in an interview.
RUDN chemists have proposed catalysts for the production of propylene and ethylene. The new catalyst is based on minerals and makes synthesis cheaper, more efficient and more convenient.
Chemists from Russia and the USA have created a protocol for the synthesis of potential anti-cancer drugs. It allows obtaining promising compounds “in one pot” — that is, by mixing all the reagents in a single reaction.
The RUDN biologist named the main driving factor that determines the activity of soil microorganisms in different ecosystems. The results will help to better understand the processes that occur and will occur due to climate change.
RUDN University physician together with colleagues from Kazakhstan conducted the first study in Kazakhstan onthe standard of living on parameters related to physical and psychological health. Among other things, thestudy showed the three most harmful professions for psychological health.
The RUDN University scientist compared the performance of several algorithms for solving optimal control problems that arise everywhere, from economics to cosmonautics.
From July 20 to 22, 2022, the 3rd International conference Smart and Sustainable Cities was held on the basis of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Sustainable Ecosystem (RUDN), concerning advanced technologies for sustainable development of urban green infrastructure.. For the third time, the conference has become an open discussion platform that unites not only the research community, but also municipal services, environmental protection agencies and organizations working in the field of urban management and landscaping.
June 28 - July 5, RUDN University hosted the Ninth International Conference on Differential and Functional Differential Equations (DFDE-2022), a satellite of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2022, which takes place on July 6-14.
The RUDN University chemists have discovered a reaction for the synthesis of acetimidamides, heterocyclic compounds with biological activity that can be used for the synthesis of hormones, anti-inflammatory and other medical drugs. The reaction goes in one step with an efficiency of up to 96%.
