Such gels can occasionally change their geometric parameters, thanks to that they can be used for creation of chemomechanical materials, that transform chemical energy into the energy of mechanical oscillations. The emergence of propagating chemical waves inside such gels enables to use material for creation of devices, processing information using cooperation of chemical waves. Results of the research are published in magazine Gels. Scientific Project Lomonosov /articles/copper-silver-and-pectin-from-apples-will-protect-pipelines-from-corrosion/?sc=rsin /articles/copper-silver-and-pectin-from-apples-will-protect-pipelines-from-corrosion/?sc=rsin Tue, 08 Oct 2024 14:05:55 EST Scientists at BFU named after Kant Immanuel have synthesized copper- and silver-based microparticles, stabilized with apple pectin. Experiments have shown that such particles effectively bind organic sulfur-containing compounds. Since substances containing sulphur atoms are present in the composition of oil and lead to metal corrosion, the development will help prevent pipelines and other equipment in contact with oil from premature destruction. The results are published in Journal of Ecological Engineering.

To achieve this, authors combined two approaches to analysis of signals of brain activity - classifier, that doesn't require education, and trainable neural network. The project will enable to automate analysis of EEG and so simplify the process of detecting of epilepsy. Results of the research, supported by the grant of Presidential program of Russian Scientific Foundation, are published in the magazine IEEE Access. Scientific Project Lomonosov /articles/instead-of-tea-with-sugar-soybean-molasses-helped-tea-fungus-to-produce-more-bacterial-cellulose/?sc=rsin /articles/instead-of-tea-with-sugar-soybean-molasses-helped-tea-fungus-to-produce-more-bacterial-cellulose/?sc=rsin Tue, 24 Sep 2024 08:05:05 EST Scientists tested different methods of obtaining bacterial cellulose on the base of tea fungus. It turned out that when they grow on soybean molasses, microorganisms produce more by 57% of this product than on the base of tea with sugar. This method will make the production cheaper, because soybean molasses is a by-product of soybean processing, that is obtained in great amount at factories. Thanks to such cheap and accessible substrate it will be possible to produce bacterial cellulose, that is used in medicine for wound healing and neogenesis, industrially. Results of the research supported by the grant of Russian Scientific Foundation (RSF), are published in the magazine Food Science and Technology.

Astashenok and Alexander S. Tepliakov have proved the viability of a holographic dark energy model. Such model was considered unstable and therefore wasn't widely used for describing the acceleration in the expansion of the Universe. The results of the research have been published in the Physics Letters B magazine. Scientific Project Lomonosov /articles/proteins-prohibitins-can-become-new-targets-for-drugs-from-obesity/?sc=rsin /articles/proteins-prohibitins-can-become-new-targets-for-drugs-from-obesity/?sc=rsin Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:05:28 EST Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University analyzed scientific works dedicated to the role of proteins prohibitins in the development of obesity. It turned out that these proteins promote development of inflammation both in separate cells and the whole organism. This happens because prohibitins stimulate emission of anti-inflammatory substances by immune cells, and also participate in destruction of mitochondria damaged during oxidative stress. Obtained information points to the fact that prohibitins can become targets for medicine aimed at struggle with obesity consequences. Results of the research are published in the magazine Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences.

The CD1 gene family in mammals is responsible for protein synthesis that protects the body against infectious diseases. The findings indicate that the naked mole-rat's immune system has significantly realigned and is using other -- CD1-independent -- molecular mechanisms. The results of the studies, supported by the Grants of Presidential program of the Russian Science Fund (RSF), were published in the Biology Direct magazine.

Thus, modification with polymer helps equal distribution of composite's components, and also enhances its piezoelectric properties by 40%.
