We present an arhaeoparasitological analysis of a unique burial from the Neftprovod II burial ground in East Siberia, which dated from the Bronze Age. Analysis of a sediment sample from the sacral region of the pelvis revealed the presence of Taenia sp. eggs. Because uncooked animal tissue is the primary source of Taenia, this indicated that the individual was likely consuming raw or undercooke...

The generic name Furia (F. submissa Egorova and Shabanov, 1987, by original designation) was proposed by Egorova and Shabanov (1987, p. 74) for a new trilobite genus from the middle Cambrian of Yakutia, Siberia. However, this name is already preoccupied by Furia Linnaeus (1758, p. 644). To resolve homonymy, in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Shabanovia nom. no...

The present paper is the result of a study of the Buprestid beetles received from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, and which were collected on his journey through the eastern part of Siberia during July and August, 1923. The material of this family collected by Professor Cockerell and his associates consists of 11 species, 2 of which are described as new. All of the species collected belong to the typ...

The paper analyzes a structure of the energy industry in Siberia (the Siberian Federal District) though its comparison with Russian and world ones. We show how economic efficiency of large energy producers could change if we allowed for all the social and ecologic costs. We prove that the development of a nuclear power industry is necessarily advisable to be speed up in the territory of Siberia...

X-ray irradiation with convergent chemicals such as nano-silver particles or sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) has been used to control leaf blight on cut lilies. The oriental hybrid lily cultivars Siberia, Le Reve, and Sorbonne were irradiated five times by 200 Gy of X-rays in 2014. In 2015, Siberia and Sorbonne were irradiated three times by 150 Gy of X-rays. After artificial infection with...

Lilium is a world famous fragrant bulb flower with high ornamental and economic values, and significant differences in fragrance are found among different Lilium genotypes. In order to explore the mechanism underlying the different fragrances, the floral scents of Lilium 'Sibeia', with a strong fragrance, and Lilium 'Novano', with a very faint fragrance, were collected in vivo using a dynamic h...
