LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) — Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate as a fast-moving wildfire continues to rage in southern California amid intense heat.

The Canyon Fire broke out Thursday at about 1:25 p.m. local time near Piru, a small town in eastern Ventura County a few dozen miles northwest of Los Angeles. The fire quickly grew to about 7.5 square miles (19.4 square kilometers), according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).

The blaze, which is rapidly spreading eastward, has reached Los Angeles County, Cal Fire said. As of Friday morning, it was 25 percent contained, the county fire department said on social media.

In Los Angeles County, five zones have been placed under evacuation orders, with about 2,700 residents and 700 structures affected, officials said. Six more zones are under evacuation warnings, covering 14,000 residents and 5,000 structures. –0–

NSU team wins gold medal at international synthetic biology competition SynBio Challenge in China

On August 6, the final of the international competition SynBio Challenge was held in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province, China). The team Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS) of NSU GeneMeow won a gold medal in the Synthetic Cell category. The team solved the problem of developing a DNA sequence no longer than 140 bp, which ensures high expression of the green fluorescent protein. Two more teams from Russia, representing Moscow State University and Pirogov University, became winners in the Protein Design track.

The GeneMeow team included six students of the NSU Natural Sciences Department who completed their 3rd year in the Biology program: Valeria Romanova, Ekaterina Bolotova, Nail Bikeev, Nikita Ivanov, Ulyana Borovikova and Dmitry Kurbatsky. GeneMeow was formed from two strong teams that had previously participated in the Biotournament and achieved high results.

Nail Bikeev, a member of the NSU GeneMeow team, spoke about preparation and participation in the competition:

— We learned about the competition in May and spent a long time choosing the track we wanted to participate in. The Synthetic cell track seemed to us to be a more interesting and challenging task. We needed to create a DNA sequence that could increase the yield of the target protein, in our case, Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), which glows a beautiful green color. In a short time, we had to develop a concept for the sequence, review many articles on the topic, highlight the necessary ones, and check the functionality of the design using bioinformatics methods. The trip to China and the presentation of the work at the international level was the best motivation, since we managed to assemble our sequence and send it! At the Olympiad, we met many guys from other countries: Japan, Thailand, and, of course, China, and also met colleagues from Moscow State University and the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. Such events are very inspiring, showing how many like-minded people there are all over the world.

The final was held in the format of a festival, where each team presented their solutions to the problems at the selection stage. In addition, the organizers of the competition synthesized the DNA sequences proposed by the participants, inserted them into plasmids with a gene of a fluorescent protein, which is used to check the DNA sequence, and during the festival visualized the synthesized sequences, compared which team's glowed brighter. The brightness of the glow became one of the criteria for assessing the work of each team.

Sergey Sedykh, PhD, Senior Lecturer Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies NSU, a judge for the SynBio Challenge, commented:

— It was the first time I was a judge at such an international event. The Russian teams showed themselves very well. Our guys from NSU demonstrated that the field of synthetic biology and life sciences in general is actively developing at Novosibirsk University, both at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and at the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies, where a new Master's program "Industrial Pharmacy". I have no doubt that next year the team from Novosibirsk will include students of this new program. Our guys have confirmed by their own example that the NSU motto "We will not make you smarter, we will teach you to think" works at the international level as well.

The competition is organized by Shenzhen University of High Technology. A total of 1,800 students registered to participate in the competition this year, of which about 1,000 participants from six countries — China, Russia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia — reached the finals.

The participation of the NSU team in the international competition was financed within the framework of the academic mobility project of the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies of NSU Priority 2030 programs.

Marat Khusnullin opened a new interchange on the M-11 Neva highway

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin launched traffic at the interchange on the federal highway M-11 "Neva" in the Tver Region. The new facility was built by the state company "Avtodor". The opening of the interchange was attended by Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin, Chairman of the Board of the state company "Avtodor" Vyacheslav Petushenko, Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya, and Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region Alexander Dronov.

“The M-11 highway is a key element of the international transport corridors “North-South”, “West-East”, and Europe-Western China, which originate in St. Petersburg. The new interchange will provide convenient access to the highway for residents and visitors of two cities – Valdai and Borovichi, as well as dozens of rural settlements. In addition, this is an additional connection with the promising tourist routes of Valdai. I would like to note that, in general, this is part of a large-scale work on the formation of international transport corridors and a backbone road network covering 2,160 settlements. I am confident that the heads of the Tver and Novgorod regions will be able to correctly use the impetus provided by the new road facilities for the development of their territories. This is an opportunity to place new tourist facilities, logistics and production complexes, and housing construction. I thank the road workers, foremen, and engineers! The facility was built in a short time – less than a year. Thanks to the Ministry of Transport of Russia, the team of the state-owned company “Avtodor”. Thank you Rosavtodor is for prompt repair of the road towards Valdai. We have many tasks ahead, a lot of work. We will only move forward to new victories!" – said Marat Khusnullin.

The site created conditions for safe and comfortable travel. To separate oncoming traffic flows, a dividing strip was installed, and 143 outdoor lighting supports were installed. At the peak of construction, more than 250 people and 80 units of equipment were involved in the site.

Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin noted that this is a historic, landmark project for two entities – Novgorod and Tver Oblasts. “In addition to Valdai, a rapidly growing tourist center of the region, Borovichi, an advanced development area where industry is growing, this is an opportunity for the southern and southeastern territories of Novgorod Oblast to move forward. Thanks to this interchange and the work that the region is doing together with Avtodor State Corporation, settlements have the opportunity to attract investment and economic development in order to create a quality life for residents,” said Andrey Nikitin.

"Traditionally, on the eve of our professional holiday, we put new facilities into operation. Today we are opening traffic on a transport interchange that has a special, historical significance. This is due to the fact that this is the first interchange that we have built since the opening of the Tver bypass on the M-11 "Neva" last year. I want to say that we are actively developing this highway. Now, on the instructions of the President, we are building another interchange on this road, which will provide a convenient exit to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg. These facilities open up new opportunities for the development of the economy of adjacent territories, help to increase the indicators of the regions, provide access to our high-speed highways. We have many plans, and we are focused on further productive work to improve the infrastructure of our road network. Builders are great! I want to congratulate everyone on the upcoming holiday – Builder's Day, with the most creative, effective and best profession in the world! " – emphasized the head of the state company "Avtodor" Vyacheslav Petushenko.

Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya noted that the opening of a new transport interchange in the Bologovsky District, at the 385th kilometer of the M-11 highway, is a significant event that will improve the transport accessibility of the northern and north-eastern territories of the Tver Region, and will increase the connectivity of the Upper Volga region with the Novgorod and Vologda Regions. "On behalf of the residents of the Tver Region, I would like to thank the Government of the Russian Federation, the state company Avtodor, the designers, builders, and everyone who implemented the project at a high quality level, significantly ahead of schedule," said Igor Rudenya.

As the acting governor of the Novgorod region Alexander Dronov noted, the interchange is of great importance for the further development of the Novgorod region. "For guests of the region, this is a unique opportunity to comfortably reach our pearls, Borovichi, Valdai, the great Valdai trail, Lake Seliger, which also unites us with our good neighbors," he said.
