Acknowledgment of Chimica Techno Acta’s reviewers for 2023

We thank the scientists and experts in various fields represented in Chimica Techno Acta (CTA) for dedicating their time and effort to review the papers that we have sent them. Their assistance ensures that the CTA journal maintains a high-quality peer-review process, which is of paramount importance for the published articles. The CTA editorial office appreciates the contributions of the following reviewers and looks forward to future collaboration

Introducing our new Editorial Board Members

The Chimica Techno Acta (CTA) journal was established in 2014. Since then, CTA has grown into a recognized platform for reporting recent advances in engineering chemistry. We would like to express our deep appreciation to all our authors, reviewers and readers, whose valuable participation has contributed greatly to the current level of CTA.One year ago, in a desire to further enhance the journal’s visibility and impact, a number of important changes were initiated, such as visual redesigning of the journal’s website, updating editorial policies and clarifying the Aims Scope. More importantly, we undertook a step towards expanding our Editorial Board team. As a result of this initiative, we are glad to welcome Prof. Ekaterina Kozlova from the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis and Dr. Farid Orudzhev from the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University as our new Editorial Board Members

Seasonal Water "Pump" in the Atmosphere of Mars: Vertical Transport to the Thermosphere

We present results of simulations with the Max Planck Institute general circulation model (MPI-MGCM) implementing a hydrological cycle scheme. The simulations reveal a seasonal water "pump" mechanism responsible for the upward transport of water vapor. This mechanism occurs in high latitudes above 60$^\circ$ of the southern hemisphere at perihelion, when the upward branch of the meridional circulation is particularly strong. A combination of the mean vertical flux with variations induced by solar tides facilitates penetration of water across the "bottleneck" at approximately 60 km. The meridional circulation then transports water across the globe to the northern hemisphere. Since the intensity of the meridional cell is tightly controlled by airborne dust, the water abundance in the thermosphere strongly increases during dust storms.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure

Interstitial characteristic of the Popular Scientific Legal Internet Discourse (PSLID)

Popular Scientific Legal Internet Discourse (PSLID) is a modern linguistic phenomenon, which appeared due to penetration of juristic terminology into the Internet. Discourse of law is an institutional discourse for it embraces the diversity of relations developing in the field of legal institutions and using their textual sources. Modern Internet formats, such as blogs, vlogs and posts (including tweets), contribute to the popularization of legal discourse and PSLID in online media and social networks. Author analyzes relation between scientific, official, journalistic and colloquial styles via examples of texts from a legal column "Pravo znat" from data portal Tomsk.ru. The analysis leads to the conclusion that PSLID combines element of different functional style
