  • MIL-OSI Russia: How RUDN University ecologists conducted an expedition to Baskunchak

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Institute of Ecology has had a student popular science travel club for 5 years, opened by NSO GreenLab. With the support of teachers, students organize independent expeditions – scientific research trips with the implementation of a set scientific task, as well as popular science and educational trips.

    “GreenLab does not go on hikes just like that. Each of our outdoor events has a scientific or educational purpose. We see a request from students to participate in such scientific expeditions. Most are not interested in just walking or driving a route to see something beautiful and take a photo for the sake of it – they need something to take with them, in addition to vivid impressions. New knowledge, skills necessary for a future career, understanding of the structure of various ecosystems and natural processes. We select those who are in solidarity with our values and are ready not only to travel, but also to study. So not only students from other RUDN departments go with us, but also from other universities,” – Daniil Mironov, GreenLab outdoor manager, student of the Institute of Ecology (Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 1st year).

    During the existence of the NSO, students have been on expeditions not only within Russia, but also abroad. The young researchers have worked in Kamchatka Krai, Murmansk Oblast, the Republic of Dagestan, Kalmykia, Karelia, Primorsky Krai, as well as in the regions of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Italy and the Czech Republic.

    One of the latest expeditions took place in the Astrakhan region. A group of students went to the vicinity of Lake Baskunchak. This is not only a famous salt lake, but also karst caves and chalk quarries with various minerals and ancient fossils.

    “The goal of the expedition is to study steppe ecosystems, as well as the geological features of Lake Baskunchak and Mount Bogdo. Bogdo is only 150 meters high, but it is the highest point of the Caspian lowland. Few people know, but this mountain is a real salt dome covered with sedimentary rocks. The salt layers below gradually squeeze it out, causing it to grow by several millimeters per year, promising to erupt in millions of years as real salt lava,” Daniil Mironov, GreenLab outdoor manager, student at the Institute of Ecology (“Applied Mathematics and Computer Science”, 1st year).

    “We got acquainted with the local flora and fauna – we saw menacing solpugs, anxious snakes and numerous dung beetles. We experienced the changeability of the weather in the steppes – we conducted radial walks under the scorching sun, and in the evenings we cooked dinner and listened to lectures in the rain. We managed to walk along the surface of Baskunchak and in its brine (salt solution of lake water), the bottom of which is covered with the mineral halite – the same table salt that we use and which is mined here on an industrial scale,” – Lada Yaseneva, a student of the Institute of Ecology (Ecology and Nature Management, 2nd year).

    Lake Baskunchak itself is fed by 19 springs, of which only 2 are fresh. Underground water passes through layers of salt, becoming saturated and then flowing into Baskunchak itself. The concentration of salt in the lake is about 250 ml/l, which makes it one of the saltiest in Russia and in the world. Salt is not the only mineral that can be found in the vicinity of Baskunchak. There are chalk quarries around – active and exhausted, in which you can find minerals and ancient fossils, such as vertebrae of fish that lived more than 200 million years ago. Participants were able to take away samples of gypsum and feldspars.

    “In a few days, we managed to visit the most interesting places: we climbed Mount Bogdo with its incredible views, visited a gypsum quarry where the land resembled alien landscapes, and, of course, we reached Lake Baskunchak. We had to walk 10 km to the lake, but it was worth it! Walking on salt was painful – my legs cut like broken glass – but the feeling of standing in the middle of an endless white desert was unforgettable. And as souvenirs, we brought home salt crystals and gypsum,” – Daria Dobrova, a student at the Institute of Ecology (“Energy and Resource-Saving Processes in Chemical Engineering, Petrochemistry and Biotechnology”, 1st year).

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Rosneft Continues Whale Research

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    World Whale and Dolphin Day is celebrated annually on July 23. The date was established to draw humanity’s attention to the need to preserve and protect cetaceans and other marine mammals.

    Rosneft pays special attention to environmental issues and the preservation of biodiversity. The Company’s activities are based on the principle of preserving a favorable environment and biological diversity in all regions of presence. Studying and protecting the population of whales and dolphins is one of the areas of Rosneft’s environmental program.

    One of the main species that receives close attention is the gray whale of the Okhotsk Sea population. The monitoring program for these whales has been carried out on the north-eastern shelf of Sakhalin Island for almost 30 years. As part of the research, specialists annually conduct a population census, observe the behavior of animals and study their food supply, carry out photo-identification studies, and acoustic monitoring.

    Until the 1990s, the Okhotsk Sea gray whale population was considered to be completely exterminated and was classified as a species on the verge of extinction. In 2018, the western gray whale population was classified as endangered, indicating a slow but steady recovery of the Okhotsk subpopulation of gray whales.

    In 2019, the Okhotsk Sea populations of gray and Greenland whales were included by the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources in the list of rare and endangered species of wildlife requiring priority measures for restoration and reintroduction. In 2020, the Okhotsk Sea population of gray whales was listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation.

    In addition, the Company conducts environmental monitoring of the Okhotsk-Korean population of gray whales on the north-eastern shelf of Sakhalin Island. Specialists annually perform photo identification, population census, and studies of the food supply and behavior of mammals. The main life period of gray whales in the Sea of Okhotsk is fattening and reproduction, so studying the state of their food supply is one of the most important stages of observations.

    As part of the study of the Okhotsk-Korean gray whale population, unique acoustic monitoring is also being conducted, which includes recording and analyzing the level of natural and anthropogenic underwater noise. The research allows us to study the nature of sounds and model their propagation. Acoustic measurements are carried out using autonomous underwater recorders developed specifically for the project.

    Rosneft is an active participant in the Interdepartmental Working Group under the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation to ensure the conservation of the Okhotsk-Korean population of gray whales. The working group develops proposals for the development of legislation for population management, coordinates the interaction of interested federal and regional executive authorities, the business community, scientific and public organizations.

    In 2020, Rosneft, together with the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, implemented a large-scale project to study and monitor Black Sea dolphins. Based on the results of 3 years of observations, modern up-to-date data were obtained on the number and preferred habitats of these Black Sea cetaceans, and the characteristics of their seasonal distribution. Recommendations for the study and conservation of dolphins were prepared.

    Reference:

    The gray whale is the only whale species that has mastered bottom feeding. Whales usually scoop up benthos from the bottom along with water, silt and pebbles at a depth of 15-60 m and filter the suspension through their baleen. The gray whale’s diet includes up to 70 species of invertebrates, including annelids, bivalves, small crustaceans and young fish.

    Gray whales swim slowly – on average 5-8 km/h, which allows marine parasites to cling to the whale’s skin and establish their colonies. The total weight of these fellow travelers can reach 180 kg per whale.

    Moscow Metro Tests Neurovoice in Audio Messages

    Artificial intelligence is being gradually introduced into the capital’s transport system. For example, since the beginning of the year, the neural network has been helping the chatbot Alexander answer passengers’ questions. Now, as part of a pilot project, AI will help Moscow metro announcers in their work.


    Moscow metro tests neurovoice in audio messages.

    As Maxim Liksutov explained, audio information is one of the most important ways of communicating with passengers. Sometimes something changes in the metro: an escalator is closed for repairs or trains take a different route. An announcement must be promptly prepared for each situation. Neurovoice will help solve this problem in a matter of minutes.

    The required audio file can be created remotely. Specialists only need to: 1) prepare the text; 2) upload it to the program; 3) adjust the voice – select the timbre, intonation and length of pauses. It is noteworthy that the AI was trained on real recordings of metro announcers.

    The neurovoice testing will take place on the Sokolnicheskaya line, where there are many transfers to the Moscow Central Circle, Moscow Central Diameters, other metro lines, bus and railway stations. Komsomolskaya is also located here, the leading station in terms of the number of transport infrastructure facilities announced by the announcers.

    Voices in neural processing allow creating prompt audio announcements in the uniform style of Moscow transport. After the pilot launch of the technology on the Sokolnicheskaya line, a decision will be made on its further use in the metro and beyond. In this case, the wishes of passengers will be taken into account. The Moscow metro continues to implement the most modern digital services, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, noted Maxim Liksutov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow Metro – Time for new technologies! Testing neural voice in audio messages in the Moscow metro.

    Source: Moscow Metro

    Time for new technologies! Testing neural voice in audio messages in the Moscow metro.

    Time for new technologies! Testing neural voice in audio messages in the Moscow metro. – Московское метро тестирует нейроголос в аудиосообщениях.

    We are gradually introducing artificial intelligence into the capital’s transport system. For example, since the beginning of the year, a neural network has been helping Alexandera’s chatbot answer your questions. Now, as part of a pilot project, AI will assist announcers in the Moscow metro.

    As Maksim Liksutov explained, audio announcements are one of the most important ways to communicate with passengers. Sometimes something changes in metro operations: an escalator is closed for repair or trains follow a different route. Each situation requires a prompt announcement. Neural voice will help solve this task in minutes.

    Moreover, the required audio file can be created remotely. Specialists only need to:

    Prepare the text.

    Upload it to the program.

    Adjust the voice — choose the timbre, intonation, and pause length. By the way, AI was trained on real recordings of metro announcers.

    We will test neural voice on the Line 1, which has many transfers to the MCC, MCD, other metro lines, car and railway stations. Also, Komsomolskaya station is located here — the leader in the number of transport infrastructure objects announced by announcers.

    «Voices in neural processing allow creating prompt audio announcements in the unified style of Moscow Transport. After the pilot launch of the technology on the Line 1, we will decide on its further use in the metro and beyond. We will also consider passengers’ wishes. We continue to implement the most modern digital services, as instructed by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin», — said Maksim Liksutov.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Specialists from the city services complex have completed 70 percent of the work to replace asphalt on the Third Transport Ring (TTK). This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “Special attention is paid to maintaining the capital’s roads in a standard condition. Every year, as part of preparation for the autumn-winter period, we carry out activities to renew the asphalt concrete pavement. This year, large-scale work is planned on the Third Transport Ring – the second longest key ring road, there we will repair 16 sections with a total area of about 700 thousand square meters,” said Pyotr Biryukov.

    Work has already been completed at nine sites, including the interchange with Ostapovsky Proezd, Avtozavodskaya Street within the Third Transport Ring, the section from Andreevsky Bridge to Komsomolsky Prospekt, as well as some places on the outer and inner rings from Volgogradsky Prospekt to Avtozavodskaya Street in both directions.

    Currently, repairs are ongoing on the section from Komsomolsky Prospekt to Berezhkovsky Bridge and in the Gagarin Tunnel. More than 200 specialists and over 100 units of specialized equipment are involved in the work on the TTK.

    One of the reasons for road repairs is rutting, which is caused by heavy traffic. It causes discomfort to drivers and can have a negative impact on safety. Therefore, the condition of the highway surface is regularly checked, the warranty period is monitored, and the asphalt is changed in a timely manner. Work is carried out mainly at night, when traffic is less intense.

    The repairs are carried out in several stages. First, specialists mill the existing surface, then put the inspection wells and rain grates in order, after which they lay new asphalt. At the final stage, road markings are applied.

    During repairs, modern technologies are used and asphalt concrete mixtures are used, which are produced by city-owned plants. During the season, these enterprises produce more than two million tons of mixture.

    LOS ANGELES, July 23 (Xinhua) — More than 140 employees of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) have signed a letter condemning the Donald Trump administration’s science policies and actions, which they say have undermined one of the country’s leading science funding institutions.

    In a letter released Monday to Zoe Lofgren, ranking member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, scientists accuse the Trump administration of drastically cutting staff, cutting funding for critical research, and slashing the agency’s budget.

    Due to concerns about the possible consequences, all but one of the employees’ signatures were revoked.

    The signatories expressed concern about a series of “politically motivated” and “legally questionable” actions by the Trump administration that threaten the integrity of the NSF and undermine the civil service protections guaranteed by federal law.
