RUDN University Participation in the 3rd International Conference on Building Materials and Construction (ICBMC 2018) in Nha Trang (Vietnam)
On the 23-25 of February, representatives of the RUDN University Department of Architecture and Construction of the Engineering Academy, consisting of 3 people (the fifth year student of the Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Lidiya Natali Somarriba Sokolova (Nicaragua), the full-time PhD student Jean Paul Vladimir (Haiti) and the associate professor Rynkovskaya M.I.) participated in the international scientific conference "3rd International Conference on Building Materials and Construction (ICBMC 2018)" in Nha Trang (Vietnam) and successfully delivered 4 reports. Within the framework of the conference there were 5 sections:
- Civil and Structural Engineering
- Architecture and Urban Planning
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Materials Properties, Measuring Methods and Applications
- Materials Manufacturing and Processing
It was interesting to learn from the plenary report of Professor Low Sui Pheng (National University of Singapore (QS13) that in Singapore the technology of building modular buildings was actively developing, the report of Professor Jin-Keun Kim from Korea Advanced Insitute of Sciences and Technology (KAIST, QS41) was about serious research of building structures, including the mechanical properties of concrete, depending on the distribution of moisture in it, in Korea.
Associate Professor Rynkovskaya M.I. presented 2 reports that aroused the interest of the plenary lecturer from Macau, Professor Zongjin Li (University of Macau), who proposed to discuss the possibility of joint research on BRICS-supported projects.
The RUDN University Science and Innovation Prize winners were honoured at the extended meeting of the Academic Council. In 2024 the terms of the traditional RUDN University Prize were changed: for the first time the competition was announced in two categories: leading scientists and young scientists.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electricity consumption in Africa has increased by more than 100% over the past two years (2020-2022). However, 74.9% of this energy is still produced by burning organic fuels — natural gas, coal and oil. At the same time, the level of electrification on the continent remains extremely low — only 24%, while in other developing countries it reaches 40%. Even in grid-connected areas, electricity supply is often unreliable: industrial enterprises lose energy on an average of 56 days a year.
Today, diagnosis and treatment planning with orthodontists takes several days. Also, complications can arise during treatment that slow down the patient's recovery process. For example, improper orthodontic treatment planning can lead to temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
