RUDN University mathematician together with colleagues from India and France for the first time studied in detail the system of coexistence of three species of living creatures in the wild. The results help to understand what parameters determine the extinction andли survivalof species, and how the number of species changes in space and time.

RUDN researchers have created and tested a method for processing titanium dental implants. It turned out that theanoslos of graphene on the surface of titanium improve its interaction with stem cells,which are placed on the implant so that it better "takes root".Thanks to this method ofprocessing, stem cells are better kept on the surface, multiply and turn into the desired cells.

Geologists have proven the effectiveness of a new method for determining the age of pyrites — minerals that appear during the formation of ore, during tectonic and sedimentary processes. The new method is simpler and more accurate than the classical one, besides it does not require a large number of samples for analysis.

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 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.

Systems of several objects with an assigned sequence of actions are described with so-called optimal control problem. They arise for example, in controlling a spaceship or managing a country’s tax system. Mathematically, this means that one needs to minimize or maximize some parameter of the system (for example, minimize time or maximize employment). There is no generally accepted universal way to analyse such systems numerically, but there are many approaches and algorithms. Researchers from RUDN University and Federal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of the Russian Academy of Sciences have proposed two approaches based on several modern computer algorithms for solving the problem of optimal control of a group of robots.

RUDN mathematician, together with colleagues from India, Romania, and France, calculated how many people need to be vaccinated in different population groups to cope with the epidemic. Moreover, mathematicians figured out what vaccination strategy should be followed to simultaneously minimize both the number of infected and the cost of the vaccine. The calculations are valid for any epidemic, including COVID-19.

Biologists have found that sorption-biological treatment is the most effective method to clean northern soils contaminated with petroleum products. To do this, activated carbon and peat are introduced into the soil, which bind toxic petroleum hydrocarbons and make them available for decomposition by microorganisms. The proposed method of bioremediation will help to improve the ecological state of soils in areas of oil production and spills.
