University as Destiny: To the 65th Anniversary of Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor S.G. Sidorov
No full textThe article is prepared for the 65th anniversary of Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Russian and World History, Archaeology of Volgograd State University Sergey G. Sidorov. The article traces the biography of S.G. Sidorov, his pedagogical, scientific, and administrative activities. It is shown that fundamental foundations of the future pedagogical and scientific work of S.G. Sidorov were laid at the Faculty of History of Saratov State University named after N.G. Chernyshevsky, from which he graduated in 1981. Most of Sergey Grigoryevichs life is connected with Volgograd State University, where he has been working since 1986. He combined teaching historical disciplines with the administrative work. S.G. Sidorov was Vice-rector for Academic Affairs for 25 years. Being in this position he has done a lot to make Volgograd State University a leader in the region in training highly qualified specialists. S.G. Sidorov is one of the leading experts on the history of the Great Patriotic War. He is the author of the first fundamental comprehensive study of using labor of prisoners of war of the Second World War in the national economy of the USSR in 1939–1956. With his active participation, six volumes of Documents and Materials “Prisoners of War in the USSR. 1939–1956” were published. Since 2009, S.G. Sidorov has been the Head of the Dissertation Council on Historical Sciences at Volgograd State University. From 2014 to 2020, largely due to the efforts of S.G. Sidorov, Volgograd State University held five International Thematic Scientific Conferences “Military History of Russia: Problems, Searches, Solutions”

The simulation of free surface flows with Computational Fluid Dynamics
No full textComputational fluid dynamics is a powerful and versatile tool for the analysis of flow problems encountered in themaritime environment. The University of Southampton Fluid-Structure Interactions research group use ANSYS CFX tomodel a wide variety of flow problems; to gain insight into flow physics, improve designs and increase the efficiencyand safety of marine vehicles. A series of three case studies from on-going research looks at: loads applied on liquefiednatural gas tanks due to sloshing, slamming pressures experienced by high speed craft as well as the influence ofpropellers on the resistance characteristics of autonomous underwater vehicles. The presence of the free surface,complex shapes and the unsteady nature of these applications make their simulation with computational fluid dynamicsparticularly challenging. The successful validation of the computational models has resulted in the development of aselection process for suitable multiphase models as well as cost-effective meshing strategies
Composite PEOn:NaTFSI polymer electrolyte: Preparation, thermal and electrochemical characterization
No full textMembranes of sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) imide (NaTFSI) complexed with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) salt have been prepared by a solvent-free hot-pressing technique with different EO:Na molar ratio. All membranes show good ionic conductivities in the range of 10(-3) S cm(-1) above 70 degrees C. However, the more NaTFSI-concentrated samples are sticky gums due to the plasticizing nature of the anion. The PEO20:NaTFSI sample exhibits the compromise of conductivity, thermal and mechanical properties. The addition of nanometric SiO2 to the PEO20:NaTFSI membranes further enhances their mechanical properties. Moreover, the PEO20:NaTFSI + 5 wt.% SiO2 membranes show similar ionic conductivity and similar anodic electrochemical stability in comparison to the ceramic free PEO20:NaTFSI sample. In a Na-(s)/polymer electrolyte/Na-(s) symmetrical cell followed up to 30 days, the presence of the ceramic filler slightly increased the interface resistance in comparison to the ceramic-free membrane. Nuclear magnetic resonance determinations of anion diffusion coefficients and Na+ mobility suggest that presence of filler may have a positive affect on the cation transference number that is in accordance with the t(Na)(+) transference number measurement.

Tin-coated graphite electrodes as composite anodes for Li-ion batteries. Effects of tin coatings thickness toward intercalation behavior.
No full textTheelectrochemicalbehaviorofgraphiteanodes,coatedby50–500A ̊-thickSnlayers,isdiscussedin the present paper. Morphology and structure of the modified electrode surfaces are described, and the charge/discharge behavior is evaluated by galvanostatic cycles at temperatures down to −30◦C. The enhanced kinetics of the intercalation/deintercalation process is studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, focusing on the role played by the Sn coatings in the inter- calation/deintercalation mechanism.
The results show that the metal layers modify and stabilize the electrode/electrolyte interphase and that the intercalation process is mediated by reversible Li–Sn alloys formation. Moreover, all the Sn coatings are effective in modifying the energy barriers related both to the Li+ desolvation step and to the migration of the desolvated Li+ ion through the modified surface layers. As a consequence, the overall polarization for the charge-transfer process is reduced, and enhanced low-temperature intercalation performances are obtained
