On the anniversary of the breeder Grigory Fedorovich Monakhos
No full textOn March 20, 2024, an outstanding Russian breeder Grigory Fedorovich Monakhos, Head of a scientific school in the field of vegetable breeding, turned 70 years old. The labor, scientific and pedagogical activities of Grigory Fedorovich for more than forty years have been associated with «Timiryazevka” – the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy. Grigory Fedorovich is the author/co-author of more than 70 hybrids of vegetable crops, of which more than 40 are of white cabbage. In his breeding work, G.F. Monakhos paid the greatest attention to the most complex aspects: the genetic resistance of plants to phytopathogens and pests. Under his leadership, 18 candidates of science defended their theses. G.F. Monakhos is a co-author of more than 130 publications, including a textbook and educational manuals. Grigory Fedorovich is a member of the editorial boards of scientific journals “Izvestiya of Timiryazev Agricultural Academy” and “Potato and Vegetables”
Another Loveless Father: Grigory in Dostoevsky???s The Brothers Karamazov
No full textOne of the major themes of The Brothers Karamazov is fathers and sons, whose bonds allow the author to explore the idea of active love. In the novel, positive father figures, such as Father Zosima, are presented alongside negative ones. Fyodor Karamazov is usually seen as the novel???s prime example of a loveless father, but another father is also worthy of critical attention in this regard: Grigory, Fyodor Karamazov???s loyal servant and Smerdyakov???s foster father. As a father, Grigory seems as incapable of love as Fyodor Karamazov. In fact, when discussing the evil nature of Smerdyakov, Golstein has argued that Grigory is ultimately to blame because his ???stubbornness, dogmatism, and constantly judgmental nature??? (98) have lead him to play a ???destructive role in the shaping of Smerdyakov??? (96). The text certainly provides ample evidence of Grigory???s disastrous conduct as a parent. In the account of Smerdyakov???s childhood, Grigory???s verbal and physical abuse of his foster son is repeatedly mentioned. But while Grigory???s negative role in Smerdyakov???s existence is unquestionable, what remains to be examined is the reason for Grigory???s hatred of him. Since Smerdyakov is a person nearly impossible to like, readers of the novel might well take Grigory???s harsh treatment of his foster son for granted. Yet I would argue that understanding Grigory???s motives requires more than judgments about his character. A more complete analysis of Grigory???s relationship with Smerdyakov will help explain what drives Grigory to become an unloving father. To this end, I will look into the motives, both on conscious and subconscious levels, for Grigory???s antagonism toward Smerdyakov
MMsPred: a bioactivity and toxicology predictive system
No full textIn the last decade, the development and use of new methods in combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening has dramatically increased the number of known biologically active compounds. Paradoxically, the number of drugs reaching the market has not followed the same trend, often because many of the candidate drugs present poor qualities in absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicological properties (ADME-Tox). The ability to recognize and discard bad candidates early in the drug discovery steps would save lost investments in time and money. Machine learning techniques could provide solutions to this problem.
The goal of my research is to develop classifiers that accurately discriminate between active and inactive molecules for a specific target. To this end, I am comparing the effectiveness of the application of different machine learning techniques to this problem.	As a source of data we have selected a set of PubChem's public BioAssays1. In addition, with the objective of realizing a real-time query service with our predictors, we aim to keep the features describing the chemical compounds relatively simple.
At the end of this process, we should better understand how to build statistical models that are able to recognize molecules active in a specific bioassay, including how to select the most appropriate classification technique, and how to describe compounds in such a way that is not excessively resource-consuming to generate, yet contains sufficient information for the classification. We see immediate applications of such technology to recognize compounds with high-risk of toxicity, and also to suggest likely metabolic pathways that would process it
“THE JOURNAL OF TRAVELS TO RUSSIA’S EASTERN LAND IS SURE TO BE INTERESTING FOR THE PUBLIC...”: ON GRIGORY I. SPASSKY’S PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY OF THE FREE SOCIETY OF LOVERS OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND THE ARTS
No full textThe present research is dedicated to the initial period of the academic career of Grigory I. Spassky (the editor of the first magazine about Siberia in Russia). The main issue studied in the present article is Grigory I. Spassky’s participation in the activity of the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and the Arts (VOLSNKh) in 1803-1823. This particular issue has never been studied; in the Russian historiography there are a few works where this fact was only mentioned. The author has been considered and analyzed the correspondence of Grigory I. Spassky with the members of VOLSNKh, as well as the contents of periodicals of the time, which were connected with VOLSNKh, such as “Severny Vestnik” [Northern Bulletin], “Tsvetnik” [Flower Garden], “Vestnik Evropy” [European Bulletin]. The research has revealed the facts of Grigory I. Spassky’s close collaboration with the Free Society; and in the beginning the Society played a leading role in the choice of the young scientist’s research areas. Through the VOLSNKh, on the pages of the Society’s periodicals there were published Spassky’s first articles, which brought him fame in the literary and research circles. Under the infl uence of the VOLSNKh banders’ recommendations, Grigory I. Spassky got the idea to publish his Siberian Sketchbook. This idea transformed into the plan of a periodical about Siberia and “some countries adjacent to it”. The publication made by Grigory I. Spassky on his return from Siberia in 1817 was called “Sibirsky Vestnik [Siberian Bulletin]”, and Spassky’s co-editor was one of the VOLSNKh members, Vasily V. Dmitriev. Thus, the analysis of the correspondence and the articles of some periodicals, connected with the VOLSNKh undoubtedly convinces that the members of the VOLSNKh made a great influence on the formation of the scientific worldview of the explorer of Siberia, Grigory I. Spassky
Ab Initio Spin Hamiltonian and Topological Noncentrosymmetric Magnetism in Twisted Bilayer CrI3
No full textTwist engineering of van der Waals magnets has emerged as an outstanding platform for manipulating exotic magnetic states. However, the complicated form of spin interactions in the large moiré superlattice obstructs a concrete understanding of such spin systems. To tackle this problem, for the first time, we developed a generic ab initio spin Hamiltonian for twisted bilayer magnets. Our atomistic model reveals that strong AB sublattice symmetry breaking due to the twist introduces a promising route to realize the novel noncentrosymmetric magnetism. Several unprecedented features and phases are uncovered including the peculiar domain structure and skyrmion phase induced by noncentrosymmetricity. The diagram of those distinctive magnetic phases has been constructed, and the detailed nature of their transitions analyzed. Further, we established the topological band theory of moiré magnons relevant to each of these phases. By respecting the full lattice structure, our theory provides the characteristic features that can be detected in experiments. © 2023 American Chemical Society.11Nsciescopu

“The Eavesdropped Voice of a Risible Dream”: Neo-Primitivism in Grigory Musatov’s Oil Painting of the 1920s
No full textСтатья поступила в редакцию 30.04.2015 г.Статья посвящена одному из периодов творчества русского художника-эмигранта Г. А. Мусатова (1889–1941), жившего и работавшего в Чехословакии, преимущественно в Праге в 1920–1941 гг. В тексте отражены результаты исследования живописи мастера 1920-х гг., встраивающейся в стилистику неопримитивизма. В статье описывается и анализируется специфика творческого метода Г. Мусатова и особенности использования им неопримитивистских художественных приемов. На примере конкретных живописных произведений художника разбираются черты его индивидуального подхода к переработке и интерпретации ряда явлений народной культуры и городского фольклора (иконопись, народная роспись, лубок, провинциальная портретная фотография). Творчество Г. А. Мусатова рассматривается в контексте развития неопримитивизма не только в русском, но и в чешском искусстве первой трети ХХ в.The article is devoted to one of the periods of creative work of Grigory Musatov (1889–1941), a Russian émigré artist, who lived and worked in Czechoslovakia, mostly in Prague between 1920 and 1941. The text is based on the research of Musatov’s paintings of the 1920s that fit in the stylistics of neo-primitivism. The author describes and analyzes the specificity of his creative method and the peculiarity of his neo-primitivist artistic methods. The features of Musatov’s individual way of revision and interpretation of folk culture and urban folklore (icon-painting, folk painting, popular print, provincial portrait photography) are examined referring to a number of the artist’s paintings. Grigory Musatov’s creative work is analyzed in the context of neoprimitivism development not only in Russian but also in Czech art of the first third of the 20th century
Grigory Kruzhkov – A Tireless Translator of English-Language Poetry
No full textTwórczość Grigorija Krużkowa jest ze wszech miar godna opisu i popularyzacji. To ceniony i nagradzany rosyjski tłumacz poezji anglojęzycznej, teoretyk przekładu, profesor w Katedrze Teorii i Praktyki Przekładu Rosyjskiego Państwowego Uniwersytetu Humanistycznego w Moskwie. Jest m.in. autorem obszernej antologii przekładów 115 angielskich, irlandzkich i amerykańskich poetów oraz wyboru angielskich i irlandzkich wierszy i bajek. W 2015 roku otrzymał tytuł doktora honoris causa Trinity College w Dublinie. Widzi on pracę tłumacza jako twórczość, która rodząc się z miłości i jedności duchowej z autorem oryginału, może zapewnić temu ostatniemu nieśmiertelność w innych językach. Do tego właśnie nawiązują wyraźnie tytuły jego esejów. Co ciekawe, na polskim gruncie analogiczne wnioski formułuje z wielkim przekonaniem Wiesław Myśliwski, podkreślając, że tłumacz musi stworzyć (nie odtworzyć) dzieło na nowo we własnym języku.The work of Grigory Kruzhkov is by all means worth describing and popularizing. He is a respected and awarded Russian translator of English-language poetry, translation theorist, professor at the Department of Russian Translation Theory and Practice of the Russian State University for the Humanities. He is, among others, the author of an extensive anthology of translations of 115 English, Irish and American poets and a selection of English and Irish poems and fairy tales. In 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Trinity College in Dublin. He sees the translator’s work as creativity which – born out of love and spiritual unity with the author of the original – can grant the latter immortality in other languages. This is what the titles of his essays clearly allude to. Interestingly, in Poland, similar conclusions are formulated with great conviction by Wiesław Myśliwski, stressing that the translator must create (not recreate) the work in his own language

generalization of historical facts are used to substantiate
the ideas of partnership pedagogy. The retrospective
method was used for creative interpretation of the
results of the conducted research.
In the article, the author revealed the idea of partnership
based on synergistic and systemic approaches.
Cultural relevance and the principle of historicism
made it possible to characterize partnership as a
dynamic phenomenon that is determined by social factors.
The article emphasizes that the idea of "equal to
equal" democracy is important in partner interaction,
unconditional equality in the right to express one's position,
respect for another point of view, trust and goodwill
in communication and interaction are recognized.
The value of tacit knowledge and experience, mutual
demand is also recognized.

Computing Permanents over Fields of Characteristic 3: Where and Why It Becomes Difficult (Extended Abstract)
No full text) Grigory Kogan Department of Computer Science Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Haifa 32000, Israel e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract In this paper we consider the complexity of computing permanents over fields of characteristic 3. We present a polynomial time algorithm for computing per(A) for a matrix A such that the rank rg(AA T \Gamma I) 1. On the other hand, we show that existence of a polynomial-time algorithm for computing per(A) for a matrix A such that rg(AA T \Gamma I) 2 implies NP = R. As a byproduct we obtain that computing per(A) for a matrix A such that rg(AA T \Gamma I) 2 is ]P(mod3) complete. Acknowledgement The results of this paper were presented orally in August, 1995 and then in December, 1995 and January, 1996 at the Technion.
