To obtain information about objects on the earth's surface and in near-Earth space, it is advisable to use not one, but several satellites. Such satellites move in different orbits, but operate as a whole. This allows us to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the obtained data but requires additional efforts to control the relative motion of satellites. É«¿Ø´«Ã½engineers together with colleagues from Malaysia found a way to effectively control such formations of several satellites.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½University engineers found out that vegetable oil destroys concrete. In 90 days of contact with oil, concrete collapses. This must be taken into account in the construction and operation of industrial buildings where vegetable oils are used in technical processes.

How to make money on wastewater and turn biological mass into clean energy? What is valorization of waste and sludge? How does this process relate to sustainable development? Dr. Kumar Vinod, professor at the Department of Life Sciences at Graphic Era University (India), spoke about water without treading water.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½University engineers calculated how to collect precipitation for water supply over a large area in an arid region. The results will help solve the problem of water shortages through the construction of several dams and ponds.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½University environmentalists have proposed a new catalyst for converting methane into hydrogen — an alternative energy carrier. The catalyst itself is a simple sponge iron, environmentally friendly and also a cheap material.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½neurosurgeons studied the immune response in polytrauma — multiple serious traumatic lesions. The results will help specialists understand the features of the recovery period and adjust the treatment.

A É«¿Ø´«Ã½nanotechnologist has studied a new method for preparing a powder for modifying road surfaces. It consists of worn car tires and styrene butadiene rubber.

Scientists from É«¿Ø´«Ã½University, Canada, Italy, and Turkey used an artificial neural network to predict the stability of steel parts and find the optimal protective coating.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½biologists in collaboration with scientists from Iran have obtained gold nanoparticles using harmless fungi living on a peach tree. The resulting particles proved to be useful in the fight against a pathogenic fungus that infects rice and potatoes. Potentially, nanoparticles can be used in medicine.

A É«¿Ø´«Ã½veterinarian with colleagues from Iran, Italy and Thailand proved that it is possible to protect the immunity of rainbow trout and enhance its growth with the help of shallot extract.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½University agronomists with colleagues from Algeria have found a way to deal with potato aphids. This parasite infects potatoes with viruses and results in yield loss. Instead of using insecticides, agronomists have proposed destroying pests with harmless fungi that live on plants.

Physicists and mathematicians, biologists and chemists, economists and lawyers, philologists and political scientists, specialists in technical and teaching sciences — the 1st World Science Championship among scientists and teachers took place in Dubai.
