Environmental problems today are as relevant as ever. Scientists are searching for ways to diminish harmful industrial influence on nature. One of the ways to protect the environment, without a doubt, is the use of filters for water and air clarification of harmful substances. A comparatively common way for decaying filtered harmful chemicals is photocatalysis. One of the most frequently researched photocatalysts is titanium dioxide. Besides, titanium oxide is widely used as acid catalyst, material for membranes and for sorbents.
Each year on the last week of August, training is held for students for the title of student mentor. These are students who know the structure of the university very well and are ready to help first-year students adapt to student life.
On August 24th, candidates for mentors will begin training in all of the layers of university life: the academic process, extracurricular activities, and knowledge of the university structure.
The European Commission supported the realization of the SUSU project on Enhancing University Teaching in Thermal Power Systems for Cleaner Environment with Parallel Improvements in PhD Skills Development. The participants of this project include the SUSU Department of Combustion Engines and Automotive Electronic Systems under the guidance of the Head of the Department, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Vladislav Lazarev.
This project was developed along with nine universities from countries of the European Union, Russia, China, and Kazakhstan:
South Ural is a link point between Europe and Asia. Geographically it is located at the junction of two big archaeological provinces – the Asian and European ones. Various historical connections took place via this region: peoples’ migration, cultural interaction, etc. This was the place where several culture waves rolling from the West to the East collided.
Masters, postgraduates, young researchers, research staff have the unique chance to complete training in the Lingva additional linguistics training program in the 2017/2018 academic year within the 5-100 Russian Academic Excellence Project.
The length of the course is 240 hours a year.
After successful completion of this training course a certification of improved qualifications is issued.
Documents to enter the competitive admissions and enter the program must be submitted before September 3rd 2017.
Technologies of “Industry 4.0” get into our lives every day. Mathematical simulation of mechanic engineering devices and technology processes of their manufacturing find support at the high governmental level. For instance, on July 20 a session on development and implementation of the Technet roadmap, in the frameworks of the national technological initiative targeted at creating conditions for global technological leadership of Russia by the year of 2035, was held at the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
The young scientist Irina Yushina from SUSU works on a research which can unfix all established notions about optical materials and will help to develop new generation optics.
Nowadays optical materials are created not only from inorganic materials (glass), but also from organic compounds. It allows to expand optics scope of application and to ensure its functioning in various modes, including low temperatures, that is an important problem for the industry and the modern science.
In Russia, Aviation Day is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of August. What is special about this day is that this professional holiday for aviators is not only celebrated by specialists with a relationship to the air force but everyone who uses air transport and those who are still training for the aviation profession.
Interest in healthy lifestyle is constantly increasing. More and more people switch to healthy diets and go in for sports. Science also pays a lot of attention to human health issues.
