While comprehensive work on the controlling mechanisms of contemporary chemical and mechanical weathering has been carried out in the tropics and, to a lesser extent, in the strongly perturbed northern temperate latitudes, very little is known about the peri-glacial environments in the subarctic and arctic. Thus, the effects of climate, essentially temperature and runoff, on the rates of atmospheric CO2 consumption by weathering are not well quantified at this climatic extreme. To remedy this lack a comprehensive survey has been carried out of the geochemistry of the large rivers of Eastern Siberia, the Lena, Yana, Indigirka, Kolyma, Anadyr, and numerous lesser streams which drain a pristine, high-latitude region that has not experienced the pervasive effects of glaciation and subsequent anthropogenic impacts common to western Eurasia and North America.

Lebedev1, K.V. Romanevich1 1OJSС “NIPII “Lenmetrogiprotrans”, Saint-Petersburg, Russia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A new approach provides increased economic efficiency of the design decisions and their subsequent implementation in repaired underground structures. The key element of the approach is the geomechanical and geophysical investigations during geological survey in the period of the design works on underground structures’ reconstruction. In particular, geomechanical and geophysical investigations allow assessing the quality of interaction between the rock massif and existing supporting structures, as well as the condition of the existing lining which should be dismantled. Another part of the proposed approach is to take into account the modern idea of the equilibrium state of rock mass which is formed during the long-term operation process of underground structures.

  • Innovative Doubly-Fed Freight Electric Locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir”
    MATEC Web of Conferences 239, 01001(2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf /201823901001 TransSiberia 2018 Innovative doubly-fed freight electric locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir” Kirill Domanov1,* 1Omsk State Transport University, 644046, Marx av., 35, Omsk, Russia Abstract. The paper considers a new doubly-fed freight electric locomotive taking into account the world experience of locomotive construction, the regulatory base and operating conditions on the railways of Russia. Its parameters are presented: the main technical characteristics in comparison with currently used electric locomotives of new series, standard traction characteristics, and the characteristic of electric braking. Features of the design of the units and parts of the undercarriage and brake equipment are given. The studied doubly-fed freight electric locomotive is designed taking into account the optimal combination of equipment backup capabilities and increased operational reliability with minimization of the failure flow causing the withdrawal of two or more traction axles due to the faults. It has promising possibilities for replacing outdated locomotives with alternating and direct current, operated on sections with changing and adjacent stations, electrified on a constant and single-phase alternating current in the places where such sections are joined to the extent of the organization of traffic control according to the principles of working domain technologies. In this case, the joints between the two types of the train current can pass nearly without stopping, their running time is shortened, and the performance indicators are improved. 1 Introduction The development of rail transport in Russia is a strategic task. In the conditions of a dynamically changing economic situation and an active desire to fill a niche of leadership among other modes of transport, modernization, improvement of rolling stock and infrastructure is required, which is impossible without scientific research taking into account global socio-economic changes and innovations.

  • Years Ago, We Focused on Transshipment of 12 Million Tonnes
    11 September 2020 The project is supported by the Far East Investment and Export Agency (ANO API) and the Far East Development Corporation (FEDC). On 11 September, General Director of Vanino Bulk Terminal, Vladimir Dolgopolov, and General Director of JSC Far East Development Corporation (FEDC), Dmitry Tetenkin, signed an agreement on the implementation of a project under the Free port of Vladivostok scheme at the enterprise's site in Toki village, Vaninsky district. The project to expand the terminal's capacity to 40 million tonnes is planned to be implemented by 2024. The planned volume of investments under the Free port of Vladivostok scheme is about RUB 12 billion. The project will create 79 new jobs. Deputy General Director - Director of Logistics of JSC SUEK, Denis Ilatovsky, emphasised: "When launching the terminal 15 years ago, we focused on transshipment of 12 million tonnes per year, and with the development of approaches to the Vanino port and the construction of the Russian Railways Kuznetsovsky tunnel, we expanded the capacity to 24 million tonnes, and now plan to further expand it to 40 million tonnes. This is certainly the result of our close and productive cooperation with Russian Railways. We see how technologies are changing in the Eastern Polygon, and how the most advanced solutions and innovative technical tools are being introduced. New administrative and managerial approaches are being applied. Among the latest achievements of the Far Eastern Railway, the Directorate of Traction of Russian Railways, I would like to note the daily guaranteed supply of 7 heavy trains weighing 7100 to the Toki station for unloading at our terminal.

That involves an account of infrastructure issues, Asia Pacific Region Coal exports including a major debate over the expansion of the BAM and TransSiberian railways. The BAM analysis suggests that Russia will struggle both to revitalise the Russian Far East through TransSiberian railway manufacturing exports to the APR and to replace revenues earned through resource exports to the West through an economic ‘turn to the East’.
