The Financial Support of RUDN Scientific Journals: Results Are Announced
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.
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.
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. The research was carried out in collaboration with a team from Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
