Participation in the 318th International Conference on Agricultural and Biological Science (ICABS)
Associate Professor of RUDN University Agrarian-Technological Institute Khomenets Nikolai Gennadievich participated in the 318th International Conference on Agricultural and Biological Science (ICABS),
The conference was organized by ISER — The International Society of Engineers and Researchers, a non-profit organization that promotes engineering sciences and technologies related to the latest developments and issues that will be discussed and experimented, through interaction between researchers and academics around the world on a common platform in collaboration with PET & The IIER.
International advisory members ISER:
- Shahriar Shahbazpanahi, Islamic Azad University, Department of Civil Engineering, Sanandaj, Kurdistan, Iran, PhD (Structural Engineering), University Putra Malaysia, Malaysia,
2009-Present - Mohd Ab Malek Bin Md Shah, Lecturer, Department of Laws,University Teknologi Mara (Melaka) city campus,Malaysia
- MR. Subrata Sinha, Centre for Bioinformatics Studies, Dibrugarh University, Assam
- PROF. Raymond Quilas Datuon, head Research, Publication, and Faculty Development Chiang Kai Shek College
The key intention of ICABS 2018 was to give opportunity for all participants to share their ideas and experience, establish research or business relations as well as to find international linkage for future collaborations in their career path.
Biologists from RUDN University working together with their colleagues from the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Flax studied the genes that determine the fatty acid composition in flaxseed oil and identified polymorphisms in six of them. The team also found out what gene variations could extend the shelf life of flaxseed oil. This data can be used to improve the genetic selection of new flax breeds. The results were published in the BMC Plant Biology journal.
Individual characteristics of the shape and cross-section of the root canal are one of the main issues for dentists. When treating a root canal, a doctor needs to properly clean it, fill it, and carry out a rebuilding procedure so that a canal is sealed. The first stage of endodontic treatment requires detailed knowledge of root canal anatomy. A team of dentists from RUDN University studied and classified various changes in root canal shapes. The new classification will help doctors avoid diagnostic errors, better select their tools, and treat patients more efficiently.
Many production facilities (e.g. plastic manufacturers, pharma companies, and others) use nanocatalysts that contain palladium—an expensive component that is not sustainably produced. A chemist from RUDN University found a way to reduce palladium consumption and to make its manufacture more eco-friendly. He developed a catalyst based on a substance that comes from plant waste. Using his invention, manufacturers could cut palladium consumption in half. Moreover, new catalysts can be reused multiple times without any decrease in efficiency.
