Smart contract concept and signs: comparative legal analysis of the legislation in Russia, Belarus, the EU and the USA

The authors examined the concept and signs of a smart contract through a comparative legal analysis of the legislation of Russia, Belarus, the EU and the USA. The key characteristics of a smart contract as a contract, its types, ways of development and improvement are highlighted and substantiated, the examples of smart contracts from the practice of these countries are given, problematic aspects of legal regulation in this sphere are identifie

THE PRESENT STATE OF THE PROBLEM OF RICKETTSIOSES IN RUSSIA AND NEW APPROACHES TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES CAUSED BY SPOTTED FEVER GROUP RICKETTSIAE

The paper presents analysis of the development and the current status of the doctrine about rickettsia and rickettsiosis. Progress in the study of Rickettsia is associated with, improved methods for their detection and isolation - using live biotechnological systems (cultivation in the experimental lines of ticks-sensitive lines of eukaryotic cells) in combination with methods of genotyping and. classical ricketsial methods. The development and. use of new methodological approaches to the study of tick-borne rickettsiae and other alpha-proteobacteria led to an important revision of ideas about genetic diversity, heterogeneity of antigenic and. biological characteristics, ecology and. contribution to the infectious pathology of various representatives of the order Rickettsiales in Russia

Modeling and simulation in tribology across scales: An overview

This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena across scales. Among the main themes discussed were those of rough surface representations, the breakdown of continuum theories at the nano- and micro-scales, as well as multiscale and multiphysics aspects for analytical and computational models relevant to applications spanning a variety of sectors, from automotive to biotribology and nanotechnology. Significant effort is still required to account for complementary nonlinear effects of plasticity, adhesion, friction, wear, lubrication and surface chemistry in tribological models. For each topic, we propose some research directions

CARBON ENCAPSULATION OF MAGNETIC METAL NANOPARTICLES: CORRELATION BETWEEN NANOSCALE STRUCTURE OF CARBON MATRIX AND ELECTROMAGNETIC PROPERTIES

The dependence between the variation of microwave losses by a − C : H(Co) films measured at 10 GHz and alteration of Co content in the film was investigated. It was shown that microwave losses attain maximal value at approximately 33at.% of cobalt. This dependence may be explained in terms of the formation of Co-containing clusters having various shapes. Because of property of conductive flakes to absorb microwaves, fragments of graphene modified with Co are considered as candidates for the microwave absorption. Estimations of the flake size using Raman and transmission electron microscopy data allow reproduce initial conditions for mathematical simulation of physical properties of the flakes
