The article describes the geologic structure of the formation located not far from Strezhevoy Tomsk Oblast. The formation has been poorly studied by seismic methods. The reserves categories С1 and С2 as well as hydrocarbon potential are presented. 4 exploratory and 39 production wells are designed to be drilled depending on geologic knowledge and formation conditions. The article deals with the investment plan including development, oil export expenditures and implementing cost calculation. 1. Introduction 2 The field license area of 1192 km is located 460 km from Tomsk to the North-West, 300 km from Strezhevoy to the South-East. The nearest settlement is Kedrovy, which is located 90 km South-East from the field and is the major oil-and-gas producing industry in the southern territory. There are no highways or railways in this area. The territory of license area is considered of little value for agriculture and forestry. The seismic grid interval of CDPM is: in total – 0.77 km/km2, in 1986-99 – 0.01 km/km2. -
The Russian -American Perimortem Taphonomy Project in Siberia: a Tribute to Nicolai Dmitrievich Ovodov , Pioneering Siberian
the russian-american perimortem taphonomy project in siberia: a tribute to nicolai dmitrievich ovodov, pioneering siberian vertebrate paleontologist and cave archaeologist Christy G. Turner II Arizona State University, 2208 N. Campo Alegre Dr., Tempe, AZ 85281-1105; [email protected] abstract This account describes ten years of data collecting, travel, personal experiences, analyses, and report writing (a list follows the text) on the subject of “perimortem” (at or around the time of death) bone damage in Ice Age Siberia. In the telling, emphasis is given to Nicolai D. Ovodov’s role in this long- term project, and his earlier contributions to Siberian cave and open-site archaeology. This is more a personal story than a scientific report. Observations made on the bone assemblage from 30,000-year- old Varvarina Gora, an open-air site east of Lake Baikal that Ovodov helped excavate in the 1970s, illustrate our research. keywords: taphonomy, Late Pleistocene Siberia, cave hyenas introduction Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has reportedly said The reason for our taphonomy study is simple. We that Russia is just outside her back door in Wasilla. I don’t wanted to see first-hand the damage to bone caused by know which way that door actually faces, but she has a human butchering compared with chewing by nonhuman point. Russia is close to Alaska geographically, historically, animals, particularly that of large carnivores, especially prehistorically and in other ways. Alaska scholars should cave hyenas, Crocuta spelaea (Fig. 1). Remains of these know as much about Russia as my Southwest U.S. col- creatures show that they roamed in Siberia as far as 55˚ N, leagues have to know about Mexico. -

Chromosome Polymorphism in the Novosibirsk Population of the Common Shrew Sorex Araneus L
Heredity 79 (1997) 172—177 Received8August 1996 Novosibirsk revisited 24 years on: chromosome polymorphism in the Novosibirsk population of the common shrew Sorex araneus L. ANDREI V.

The polymorphism in the 1970s involved chromosome arm combinations go, ji, mp and qr, i.e. each of these combinations was present in both a metacentric and a twin-acro- centric state in the population at that time. The twin-acrocentric morph for go occurred at low frequency in 1970—72 and was not observed in 1994—95. The polymorphism for arm combina- tions ji, mp and qr was still observed in 1994—95 and there was no significant difference in metacentric/twin-acrocentric frequencies compared with the previous sample. This is the third well-documented example in which the chromosome polymorphism in the common shrew has been found to be unchanged over a period of 20 + years. Although the polymorphism for qr may be associated with a chromosomal hybrid zone with a dine centre 200 km away, there is no definitive explanation for the other polymorphisms.

Focus on Tomsk 2016
Focus on Tomsk 2016 Location: South-East West Siberia Basin, Tomsk Oblast, Russia A license round has been announced with 5 blocks in NW Tomsk with applications due by 19 May. There are a number of different hydrocarbon fields in the the NW Tomsk area including the Sovetskoye Field (3.6Bbbl in place) and they are thought to be sourced from the prolific Bazhenov Formation which is around 14m thick within the package area (see below). Most reservoirs are within Vasyugan Formation sands where porosities are typically 8% but permeabilities reach 276 mD. Historically targetted traps are anticlines, but there is potential for stratigraphic traps that are not clear on 1980’s vintage Soviet seismic. IHS have three packages of data in western Tomsk, 11A and 11B (covering the area with the bid blocks) and 11C. Package 11A Contents: The package contains 3875 km seismic reconstructed to SEG-Y format. 17 wells including 181 enclosures – mostly well logs 40 other enclosures (maps and cross-sections) 13 reports including a package summary. Navigation derived from 1:200,000 scale maps provided in UKOOA format and GIS. Package 11B Contents: The package contains 2802 km seismic reconstructed to SEG-Y format. 16 wells including 200 enclosures – mostly well logs 27 other enclosures (maps and cross-sections) 11 reports including a package summary. Navigation derived from 1:200,000 scale maps provided in UKOOA format and GIS. The important sections of the report text are translated into English as are the map and section enclosures. The reports provide a description of the petroleum geology, experimental work to optimise seismic acquisition, well results and an evaluation of data quality. -
Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector
THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/17/2013 GAIN Report Number: RS1335 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Russian Government Continues to Support Cattle Sector Report Categories: Livestock and Products Policy and Program Announcements Agricultural Situation Approved By: Holly Higgins Prepared By: FAS/Moscow Staff Report Highlights: Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector had been in continual decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches. The Russian Federal and oblast governments offer a series of support programs meant to stimulate livestock development in the Russian Federation over the next seven years which are funded at hundreds of billions of Russian rubles (almost $10 billion). These programs are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. Monies have been allocated for both new construction and modernization of old livestock farms, purchase of domestic and imported of high quality breeding dairy and beef cattle, semen and embryos; all of which should have a direct and favorable impact on livestock genetic exports to Russia through 2020. General Information: Trade Russia’s live animal imports have soared in recent years, as the Federal Government has supported the rebuilding of the beef and cattle sector in Russia. This sector has been in decline since the break-up of the Soviet Union, but imports of breeding stock have resulted in a number of modern ranches which are expected to lead to a recovery of the cattle industry. -
Contemporary Situation of Khanty Language
44 CAES Vol. 5, № 1 (March 2019) Contemporary situation of Khanty language Marija Launonen University of Helsinki; Helsinki, Finland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Khanty language faces numerous problems and tasks relating to dialect diversity, a small number of speakers, tensions between dialects, administrative divisions, education possibilities, urbanization and use of language in the contemporary world. A way that can be proposed to overcome these problems is to follow a Saami example in a decentralized approach to dialects, implementing online long-distance learning platforms. Several Khanty dialects are vigorously used among all age groups and have undisrupted intergenerational transmission, and the question in these cases, therefore, is about strengthening the language positions, not about reviving or revitalization. But there are few other dialects, where questions of reviving and revitalization are urgent questions. Keywords: Khanty language; language revitalization; Surgut idiom of Khanty language Introduction Khanty language, along with Mansi and Hungarian, belongs to Ugric branch of Uralic family. Khanty is spoken by an indigenous community, the Khanty people, who live in North-Western Siberia. According to 2010 census, in Russia 30943 people proclaimed themselves to be Khanty. 19068 of them live in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, 9489 live in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and 718 live in Tomsk Oblast. 9584 people have claimed to have good proficiency in Khanty language, and it is thought that almost all of them also have Khanty ethnic self-identity (Csepregi 2017). Khanty is usually divided into two dialect groups: Western and Eastern. The Western group is often divided further into Southern and Northern dialect groups. -
Subject of the Russian Federation)
How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country. -
The Household and the Family Patient Profile Child's Development and Medical History Current Condition
SITE: TOMSK APRIL 12-24, 2010 DISTRICT: SIBERIA SURGICAL-EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION LAUNCHED: 2006 MISSION 5 THE HOUSEHOLD AND THE FAMILY Matvey’s parents, Svetlana and Stepan, live with their two sons in a house inherited from Stepan’s parents. They own a car and are often able to visit a nearby lake. Both sets of Matvey’s grandparents also live in Kolpashevo. During the interview, Svetlana expressed great fear of being abandoned and anxiety at the prospect of having to care for and raise Matvey by herself. “I’ve heard of many cases, when there is a sick child like Matvey – the husband loses interest and leaves the mother to cope with the illness alone.” CHILD’S DEVELOPMENT AND MEDICAL HISTORY Matvey’s heart defect went undetected in utero. He was visibly blue at birth, but local doctors assured Svetlana and Stepan that, despite his heart defect, their baby was basically healthy and would be “normal.” Twenty days later, he was rushed to the PATIENT PROFILE Tomsk Cardiology Institute, 170 miles away, and admitted to the intensive care unit. Three days later, pediatric cardiac surgeon Evgeniy Krivoschekov performed open- heart surgery on Matvey, inserting a small shunt to improve bloodflow to the lungs. Child Matvey K. After surgery, Matvey spent 17 days in the PCICU, and Svetlana was at the hospital every Age 1 year old day to breastfeed him. Dr. K. explained that Matvey would need further surgery when he was bigger, and urged Svetlana and Stepan to keep Matvey healthy and avoid infections. DOB March 30, 2009 CURRENT CONDITION Birth Wt.
