Snow disposal in Moscow

Siting, design and operational controls for snow disposal sites.

The Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), at 61 degrees north latitude, ploughs and hauls snow from urban streets throughout the winter, incorporating grit and chloride applied to street surfaces for traffic safety. Hauled snow is stored at snow disposal facilities, where it melts at ambient spring temperatures. MOA studies performed from 1998 through 2001 show that disposal site melt processes can ...

Moscow Eye Hospital.

I at the appropriate distance between the ophthalmoscope and the eye under inspection if greater resolution is desired. The lens must not fluoresce, and all examinations are made in a darkened room. There appear to be a number of interesting possibilities for the ultraviolet ophthalmoscope in medical and biological science, not only for the study of the internal eye structures, but also for the...

Kolmogorov Complexity: Recent Research in Moscow

The Kolmogorov complexity theory emerged in sixties; main definitions were independently found by Ray Solomonoff, A.N. Kolmogorov and G. Chaitin. The motivations for the definition were quite different. For Solomonoff the main goal was inductive inference theory. Kolmogorov's work was closely connected with foundations of probability theory and information theory. Chaitin's studied the length o...

There are some grounds for suspecting that it may differ in Russia from what is seen in western countries. This paper explores patterns of seasonal variation in mortality in Moscow between 1993 and 1995. METHODS Analysis was based on individual data on deaths occurring in Mos...
