Specialists at NSU and the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS (INP SB RAS) have developed technology to conduct optical diagnostics of the tungsten surface that makes it possible for real-time observation of cracking from powerful pulsed heating. This method helps predict this metal’s reaction under a thermal load to the first wall of the vacuum chamber in an ITER thermonuclear reactor. The results of this research are published in the journal “Physica Scripta”.
The International Medical Tournament was held for the fifth time at 91Ƶ. 24 teams from Russia, Germany, Serbia, Poland, and Ireland fought for the winning title.
Alena Telepova, a student at the NSU Institute of Medicine and Psychology, investigated a very rare genetic pathology: marker chromosomes in patients with intellectual disability. The results of this work can be useful for pregnant women who are interested in prenatal diagnosis of the embryo to identify genetic abnormalities and get a prognosis for the pathology that will develop.
The International Medical Tournament (MeDic House)is a team competition that invites medical students to solve complex clinical problems that are based on real clinical practice. The Tournament consists of two stages. The first remote stage took place from November 1 to February 11. Stage two will be held at NSU from April 20 to April 23.
