The researchers concluded that low-dose radiation treatment causes yeast to multiply better and produce the enzymes necessary for industry better.

Scientists believe that the increased activity will help companies save on production.

Pre-irradiation of yeast with low doses of radiation increases their survival rate after subsequent exposure to high doses, and can also cause a stimulating effect, which increases their activity.

However, scientists have concluded that, as climate change has never been repeated exactly, it is nearly impossible to accurately predict future climate changes.

Calculations have shown that such unpredictable factors as the arrival of an asteroid, tectonics of lithospheric plates, and volcanic eruptions can lead to a transition from climate warming to cooling and vice versa.

UrFU physicists have created a mathematical model that shows the influence of external factors on climate change. The description of the model and the conclusions were published in the journal Chaos. URL:

The results of the study are presented in the journal Architecture

It is about opportunities to interact with the city conveniently and comfortably — both physically and emotionally, as well as to perceive and comprehend the space.

Researchers propose to put residents, their needs and practices right at the center of the conceptual program Life Support Module.

The specialists found out that the comfort of the urban environment is determined by such intangible categories as predictability and safety.

The research included a field stage in two cities of Western Siberia: a typical "Arctic subcenter" — Novyy Urengoy, and a "sub-periphery settlement" — Tarko-Sale.

The staff of the Arctic Design Laboratory at UrFU believes that the urban environment in the Arctic should be designed with an emphasis not only on technical solutions but also on comfort of residents.

The research was published in the journal Ceramics. ttps://www.mdpi.com/2571-6131/8/2/42.

The scientists’ immediate plans include testing the coating on real components of gas turbines and jet engines, as well as adapting the technology for other industries.

UrFU and the Institute of Electrophysics of the UB RAS scientists have synthesized an innovative SiAlCN coating capable of protecting aircraft engine components from oxidation at extreme temperatures using an original plasma-chemical method.

The results are published in the journal Materials.

It is too early to talk about curing patients in the near future, the scientists warn, but the method could potentially be suitable for treating all types of tumors, especially those that are difficult to treat with chemotherapy, such as melanoma or colon cancer.

The essence of dendritic cell immunotherapy is as follows: dendritic cells are obtained from the patient's blood monocytes, after which they are “loaded” with tumor cell antigens. The dendritic cells are then returned to the patient by subcutaneous injection.
