Students and teachers of RUDN gain access to the SciFinder-n platform
SciFinder-n is an innovative platform that provides the most relevant and high-quality information for chemical research from fellow scientists at CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service). SciFinder-n provides access to full-text materials, indexed patents and other materials.
To work with the database, you should pre-register, create an individual login and password.
Important:
Registration and work with SciFinder can be performed on any computer of RUDN University computer network using an individual login and password.
For successful registration, you must specify a corporate email address (within the domain rudn.ru).

A team of medics from RUDN University conducted an experiment on rats and confirmed that surgeries in the nasal cavity can cause behavioral changes, namely, make the animals timider. This effect is associated with an ANS reaction triggered by stress.
Bacteria in biofilms are 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics, disinfectants, mechanical treatment, and other types of stress. A chemist from RUDN University suggested a method to prevent the formation of biofilms and reduce the resistance of bacteria to antimicrobial medications. This might help increase the efficiency of antibacterial treatment in the food industry, medicine, and agriculture.
A specialist in spacecraft movement control analyzed the process of placing vehicle stages, boosters, and other space debris into the so-called disposal orbit and suggested cleaning lower orbits up with a spacecraft that has modules with engine units on board. These modules will attach to space debris objects and move them away. As for the geostationary orbit, a preferable way to clean it up would be a towing spacecraft that transports space debris objects into the disposal orbit.
