ORIGIN OF MELTING ANOMALIES IN THE JAPAN-BAIKAL CORRIDOR OF ASIA AT THE LATEST GEODYNAMIC STAGE: EVOLUTION FROM THE MANTLE TRANSITION LAYER AND GENERATION BY LITHOSPHERIC TRANSTENSION

At the latest geodynamic stage that is characterized by forces and processes of the last 90 Ma the lithosphere of Asia has been reactivated due to four main force factors: 1) mantle melting anomalies, 2) subduction-related interaction between the Pacific plates and the continental eastern margin, 3) convergent interaction between India and the continental southern margin, and 4) quasiperiodic orbital variations of the Earth. The starting point of the latest geodynamic stage [Rasskazov, Chuvashova, 2013] is consistent with the change of the Earth’s rotation due to the resonant interaction of its orbit with the orbit of the Mars in the time interval of 87–85 Ma [Ma et al., 2017].At the latest geodynamic stage that is characterized by forces and processes of the last 90 Ma the lithosphere of Asia has been reactivated due to four main force factors: 1) mantle melting anomalies, 2) subduction-related interaction between the Pacific plates and the continental eastern margin, 3) convergent interaction between India and the continental southern margin, and 4) quasiperiodic orbital variations of the Earth.

Рифты, орогены, кратоны и глобальная тектоника: введение в проблему

A key role in developing the Earth theory is played by comparative studies of orogens, rifts, and platforms in the equatorial, middle and high latitudes of Asia and the adjacent Arctic regions. The modern shape of the planet’s triaxial asymmetrical cardioid ellipsoid results from its latest (Late Phanerozoic) geodynamic evolution that began in Arctic and then commenced in Asia. At this stage, mechanisms of the lithosphere extension and compression, combined with extension, were launched in Arctic and Asia, respectively. The special issue of Geodynamics & Tectonophysics presents papers on this topic.В развитии теории Земли ключевую роль играют сравнительные исследования орогенов, рифтов и платформ в экваториальных, умеренных и высоких широтах Азии и сопредельной Арктики. Современная форма трехосного асимметричного кардиоидального эллипсоида на планете обусловлена ее новейшей (позднефанерозойской) геодинамической эволюцией, начавшейся в Арктике, а затем – в Азии. На новейшем геодинамическом этапе в Арктике был запущен механизм растяжения литосферы, в Азии – механизм сжатия, сочетающегося с растяжением. Cтатьи по этой тематике представлены в специальном выпуске журнала «Геодинамика и тектонофизика»

GEOCHEMICAL AND CLAY-MINERAL STUDY OF HEALING MUD FROM WUDALIANCHI, NE CHINA

Over the centuries, people have used healing mud (peloids) to draw toxins out of the body, boost the immune system, cure psoriasis, acne, depression, and hair loss. The beauty industry has used mud-clay masks, body wraps, soaps, and baths. The useful properties of mud were established empirically. The most popular healing-mud spars are known in the Dead Sea in Israel, Baden-Baden in Germany, Calistoga in California, Budapest in Hungary, Akhtala and Kumisi in Georgia, Paratunka in Kamchatka, Wudalianchi in China.Over the centuries, people have used healing mud (peloids) to draw toxins out of the body, boost the immune system, cure psoriasis, acne, depression, and hair loss.

Experimental demonstration of superdirective spherical dielectric antenna

An experimental demonstration of directivities exceeding the fundamental Kildal limit, a phenomenon called superdirectivity, is provided for spherical high-index dielectric antennas with an electric dipole excitation. A directivity factor of about 10 with a total efficiency of more than 80\% for an antenna having a size of a third of the wavelength was measured. High directivities are shown to be associated with constructive interference of particular electric and magnetic modes of an open spherical resonator. Both analytic solution for a point dipole and a full-wave rigorous simulation for a realistic dipole antenna were employed for optimization and analysis, yielding an excellent agreement between experimentally measured and numerically predicted directivities. The use of high-index low-loss ceramics can significantly reduce the physical size of such antennas while maintaining their overall high radiation efficiency. Such antennas can be attractive for various high-frequency applications, such as antennas for the Internet of things, smart city systems, 5G network systems, and others. The demonstrated concept can be scaled in frequency

ПЕРИОДИЗАЦИЯ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ И ПОЗДНЕПЛЕЙСТОЦЕН-ГОЛОЦЕНОВЫХ ГЕОДИНАМИЧЕСКИХ И ПАЛЕОКЛИМАТИЧЕСКИХ ПРОЦЕССОВ

Based on comparative analyses of spatial and temporal patterns of high- and medium-potassic basaltic eruptions in the Central Mongolia and marine survey records of Sr isotopes, it is revealed that the start of the recent geodynamic stage in the Central Mongolia correlates with the starting point of its global manifestation, which gives an evidence of a close relationship between magmatic occurrences in the region under study and processes of global convergence. The magmatic occurrences are considered as representing the recent geodynamic evolution of the past 90 Ma with milestones of ~66, 40–37, ~32 and 17–15 Ma ago. Global changes, except those ~32 Ma ago, are shown in marine records of Sr isotopes. The Late Plestocene – Holocene natural and climate setting is reconstructed from radiocarbon datings of various geological and paleobiological objects. Changes of the natural environment and climate of the Northern hemisphere are plotted with account of strong magma eruptions, attacks of asteroids and meteorites, changes of lithological compositions of sedimentary complexes and species compositions of fauna at the given time interval.  Приведены результаты исследований, выполненных в лаборатории изотопии и геохронологии и лаборатории кайнозоя ИЗК СО РАН в рамках проектов СО РАН: ИМП № 77 «Изучение закономерностей проявления опасных природных процессов в исторически обозримом прошлом для разработки основ прогноза их поведения на ближайшие десятилетия» (РК 01201282598) и Пр. VIII.69.1. «Факторы, определяющие изменение среды и климата Центральной Азии в кайнозое». На основе сравнительного анализа пространственно-временного распределения высоко- и умеренно калиевых базальтовых извержений в Центральной Монголии и морских записей изотопов Sr выявлено соответствие начала новейшего геодинамического этапа в Центральной Монголии точке отсчета его глобального выражения, свидетельствующее о тесной связи магматических событий региона с глобальными процессами конвергенции. Эти магматические события рассматриваются как представительные для новейшей геодинамической эволюции литосферы за последние 90 млн лет, в ходе которой определена важнейшая роль рубежей ~66, 40–37, ~32 и 17–15 млн лет назад. Происходившие глобальные изменения, за исключением рубежа ~32 млн лет назад, запечатлены в морских записях изотопов Sr. Из анализа радиоуглеродного датирования различных геологических и палеобиологических объектов восстановлена природно-климатическая обстановка позднего плейстоцена и голоцена. Построена кривая, отражающая изменения природной среды и климата Северного полушария с учетом проявления мощных вулканических извержений и астероидно-метеоритных атак, изменение литологического состава осадочных комплексов и видового состава фауны на заданном временном интервале. 

Models of the organization of the judicial system: the experience of Russia and foreign countries

This article provides an overview of the organization of the judiciary in various countries. Firstly, attention is drawn to the legislative framework on the basis of which the system of courts in a particular state is built. Secondly, the conclusion is drawn that there are three models of the organization of the judiciary: decen-tralized; moderately centralized; strongly centralized bathroom. Examples of states in which distinguished models of the organization of the judiciary operate are given. Particular attention is paid to the place of the Russian model in the classification of judicial systems according to the degree of centralization of the judiciar

GeneNet in 2005

The GeneNet system is designed for collection and analysis of the data on gene and metabolic networks, signal transduction pathways and kinetic characteristics of elementary processes. In the past 2 years, the GeneNet structure was considerably improved: (i) the current version of the database is now implemented using ORACLE9i; (ii) the capacities to describe the structure of the protein complexes and the interactions between the units are increased; (iii) two tables with kinetic constants and more detailed descriptions of certain reactions were added; and (iv) a module for kinetic modeling was supplemented. The current SRS release of the GeneNet database contains 37 graphical maps of gene networks, as well as descriptions of 1766 proteins, 1006 genes, 241 small molecules and 3254 relationships between gene network units, and 552 kinetic constants. Information distributed between 16 interlinked tables was obtained by annotating 1980 journal publications. SRS release of the GeneNet database, the graphical viewer and the modeling section are available at http://wwwmgs.bionet.nsc.ru/mgs/gnw/genenet/
