NSU student took part in international speleological expedition to Uzbekistan

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ilona Vladimirova, second year student Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, NSU, took part in an international speleological expedition to the Gissar Range in Uzbekistan this summer. For twenty days, a team of 34 researchers from Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Israel and the United States studied the largest caves in the region – Boy-Bulok and Vishnevsky.

The main objective of the expedition was to find a connection between the Boy-Bulok and Vishnevsky caves, conduct a topographic survey of the Boy-Bulok cave passages, explore an ice cave at an altitude of 3,700 m, and refine the topographic survey of the Khodja-Gur-Gur-Ata massif caves. In addition, more specific tasks were also solved: installing a hydrogenerator in the underground base camp (UBC) at a depth of -560 m to generate electricity, organizing communication between the caves using the Nicola device, delivering ground penetrating radars to both caves, and measuring the distance between the closest points, as well as other studies.

Ilona worked as part of a team at the Chulbair massif. The speleologists managed to pass a narrow section in the Boy-Bulok cave and explore a new clay passage about 70 meters long, which allowed them to refine the topographic survey data and increase the amplitude of the cave depth by another 6 meters.

— It was not easy, since the route through the cave has the fourth category of complexity. However, I really enjoyed life underground in PBL-560, where I spent three nights (some participants lived there for up to 14 nights). But the most pleasant thing was to come to the surface. It was very beautiful. We met the sunset on the edge of the Chulbair wall at an altitude of 3,700 meters, looking down at a four-hundred-meter cliff. I also remember the volleyball match in the Uzbek village of Dekhibolo between locals and cavers, in which friendship won, — Ilona shares her impressions.

In addition to research in Boy-Bulok, the expedition examined an ice cave at an altitude of 3,700 m, where bears' beds were discovered, and also carried out work on the Khodja-Gur-Gur-Ata massif.

Ilona admits that she would like to return to Uzbekistan to continue searching for the connection between the two largest caves.

The expedition was organized by the Sverdlovsk city speleosection under the leadership of Vadim Loginov, who has been conducting research in this area since 2007.

Today is a special day in the history of Moscow transport – the first completely driverless tram in Russia has been launched.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

It will transport passengers in the northwest of the city on route No. 10 “Metro Shchukinskaya – Ulitsa Kulakova” and will operate on the established schedule.

This is a very significant technological milestone. Now unmanned technologies are starting to be implemented in the capital's transport.

The software for the driverless tram was created by the Moscow Metro employees without involving third-party companies. The smart technology developed by the city is unique. It works more accurately and reliably than foreign analogues. It has already been recognized with prestigious international awards.

The unmanned tram traveled more than 8 thousand km in test mode without violating traffic rules even once.

It is equipped with a sensor system, a high-precision route map and systems for localization, computer vision, motion planning, and wheel slip prevention.

As a result, the tram stops where necessary, opens and closes its doors, follows traffic lights, lets pedestrians pass, independently determines how to cross an intersection, switches switches, and adheres to the schedule.

The tram control officer is currently in the cabin or passenger compartment as required by federal law only for observation, and he does not interfere with the process.

Future plans:

By the end of the year, three more trams will be equipped with driverless technology. By 2030, there will be more than 300, which is about 2/3 of the capital's fleet. It is expected that by 2035, about 90% of Moscow trams will operate using driverless technology.

In December, the first stage of pilot operation of the first unmanned metro train in Russia on the BCL will begin. The control system will be tested on a modern train of the “Moscow” series at night without passengers.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak took part in a meeting on the development of the fuel and energy complex of the Far Eastern Federal District, which was held at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin. The meeting was also attended by members of the Government, heads of Far Eastern regions and fuel and energy companies.

The participants discussed the progress of preparing a program for the development of energy capacities in the Far East for the period up to 2050 in the context of the accelerated development of the region’s economy and the growth of its energy consumption.

"The discussion was about the development of energy, gas infrastructure, oil and gas enterprises. Based on the results of the last five years, we have seen a 3.8% increase in energy consumption in the Far East, which is 2% higher than the average in Russia. In the future, this trend will continue. Therefore, it is important to ensure the accelerated development of infrastructure, the construction of generating capacities, power transmission lines," Alexander Novak noted in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel at the EEF following the meeting.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 5.7 thousand MW of capacity will be built for the Far East: 1564 MW of which will be solar power plants, and about 4 thousand MW will be gas and coal thermal power plants.

The government has decided to build additional power plants with a total capacity of 2.5 thousand MW by 2030 and 2 thousand power transmission lines, and the total investment in the electric power infrastructure of the Far Eastern Federal District will amount to about 3 trillion rubles.

“Providing the Far Eastern Federal District with energy infrastructure is our priority,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

The President instructed to pay special attention to the diversification of the Far East energy sector. This concerns the development of coal generation in the context of the availability of coal reserves for 900 years ahead, the construction of large nuclear power plants and small nuclear generation, as well as the implementation of the region's hydro potential. Instructions were also given in the area of developing gas fields to provide the region with gas, taking into account its growing needs and the implementation of Russia's export obligations.

Infrastructure projects that are planned to be implemented with the involvement of treasury infrastructure loans are socially significant for the regions and are aimed at achieving the goals of the national project," said Alexander Lomakin.
