"Academic Mobility" open charity contest

4 March 2014 127

The Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation announces an open charity contest for funding of travel grants for participation in academic conferences and seminars, work in archives and libraries, training in scientific institutions at home and abroad for later year students, post-graduate students and young teachers (under 35).

The continuous open contest is for participants who are living and studying in the Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Tambov, Ryazan and Perm regions and the city of Togliatti.

Objectives of the contest:

1. The contest is designed to equalize educational opportunities for representatives of different layers of society and areas of residence;

2. The contest supports young researchers and teachers who are in need of expanding their scientific and educational contacts and acquaintance with modern research and educational practices.

Participation criteria:

The program funds academic internships, participation in seminars and conferences, as well as trips involving work in archives, libraries and other information centers in Russia and abroad. The maximum duration of the trip should not exceed 2 weeks.

The competition is open to:

1. Citizens of the Russian Federation residing and studying in participating regions;

2. Holders of diplomas of higher education or student ID at the time of application;

3. Holders of confirmation from the academic supervisor and the head of the university of the need for travel for the purpose of scientific research.

The contest is not open to:

1. Holders of PhD or equivalent scientific degree.

Competition criteria:

1. All applications are registered and pre-screened for compliance with the participation criteria;

2. Competitive selection is cinducted by the Expert Council of the
Foundation;

3. Contest results are announced during the 2nd month from the application deadline;

4. Motives for rejection applications are not disclosed, the applications are not reviewed, materials submitted for the contest are not returned;

5. Applications received by the Foundation after the specified application deadline will not be considered.

Selection criteria:

1. Academic achievements of candidates;

2. Practicality of the trip (internship), which is determined by the nature of the candidate's research.
Grant amount is determined individually depending on the location, academic program and duration of the trip and includes payment for academic internship (if calculation of costs is provided), accommodation, travel to the destination and back, mandatory health insurance, as well as funds for the purchase of scientific literature and copying of archive documents (if such need is justified).

Applications are submitted electronically to:

academ@prokhorovfund.ru

Complete sets of application documents in printed format (1 copy) are mailed to:

660021, г. Красноярск, пр. Мира, д.140, а/я 27238

ATTENTION!

TECHNOLOGY OF PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL RESTORE VALUABLE ELEMENTS FROM PRODUCTION WASTE

Now more and more attention is paid to the process of restoration of nitrogen and phosphorus from industrial and agricultural waste. This is connected with the need to implement the concept of sustainable development of society, based on the circular economy. These elements are biogenic, vital for plant growth. Phosphorus reserves are limited, and the process of obtaining nitrogen is energy-consuming. Potential sources of secondary raw materials are water waste from many industries: the fertilizer industry, pharmaceutical products, semiconductor production and agriculture. The recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus allows not only to reduce the consumption of non-renewable mineral resources, but also to reduce the saturation of natural water bodies with biogenic elements, the excess of which leads to swamping of water bodies and to a decrease in the amount of drinking water. To solve this problem, PNRPU scientists have developed a new approach that has increased the efficiency of extracting ammonium (a form of nitrogen) and phosphate (a form of phosphorus) from industrial waste water to 98-99%. The traditional method does not achieve such results. Moreover, the technology of Perm scientists will make it possible to produce domestically produced long-acting fertilizer based on struvite (a phosphate mineral) and will contribute to the import substitution of foreign analogues.

THE MODEL CREATED BY PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL PREDICT DEFECTS IN LASER POWDER SURFACING

The method of laser powder surfacing is used to restore worn-out or damaged metal parts. A powerful fiber laser creates a molten weld pool, and then metal powder is automatically fed into it. A common problem that occurs in this process is the deformation of the part, being repaired, under the action of internal stresses. This leads to a defect called warping. One of the aims of developing a technological process for the repair of parts by laser powder surfacing is the prediction of warping defects. The determination of the optimal defect-free surfacing mode for specific parts experimentally is unprofitable due to high financial and time costs and often even impossible. The researchers of the PNRPU together with JSC “UEC-Aviadvigatel” developed a mathematical model for calculating warping during laser powder surfacing to solve this problem. The scientists were able to predict with high accuracy the behavior of the part during the surfacing process thanks to numerical simulations. In the future, the development will help in choosing the optimal set of parameters for repairing parts with the most complicated parts.
