500 pages of university science

In honor of the 30th anniversary of Dubna University, a collection of scientific papers was published. It includes over 60 articles by employees in various scientific areas: fundamental physics research; sensor technology and electronics; thermal and electrical energy accumulation technologies; transformation of environmental components under the impact of anthropogenic activity; advanced technologies for prospecting and exploration of mineral resources; radiation biology; nanotechnology in engineering and medicine; digital platforms and Big Data analytics; explanatory artificial intelligence in decision support; new techniques and technologies for clinical and psychological counseling and psychotherapy; experimental psychodiagnostics of human functional states; social practices in transforming Russia.

A large number of JINR employees from almost all laboratories of the Institute, from famous scientists to young specialists that are capable of not only carrying out their own scientific research, but also teaching students, supervising their coursework and diploma theses are among the authors.

In the preface to the collection, Doctor of Technical Sciences I.B.Nemchenok notes: "A lot has happened at the university over these thirty years. But one thing has been unchanged - the love and interest of the university's teachers and staff in their work, the desire to teach and learn themselves. Creativity, the desire for self-improvement and interest in the world around us are an integral feature of the university's teaching staff. It cannot be otherwise. After all, the University bears the name of the science city of Dubna."

The collection can be downloaded in pdf format from the University's website.

For researchers in the field of applied mathematics

As part of the Mathematical Engineering Book Series, Springer published the monograph entitled “New developments of Newton-type iterations for solving nonlinear problems” by Ochbadrakh Chuluunbaatar, Deputy Director of the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR, Academician of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS), and Tugal Zhanlav, JINR Honorary Doctor, MAS Academician. The authors analyse the intricacies of Newton-type methods for nonlinear equations, discussing their convergence, accelerations, and extensions.

The three-part monograph explores higher-order iterations for nonlinear equations and their systems, their applications in linear algebra, and some nonlinear problems of theoretical physics. Emphasising the pivotal role of iteration parameters in shaping convergence and expanding the domain, the authors draw from their extensive collaborative research to systematically compile and substantiate these findings.

The book is aimed at readers, graduate students, and researchers in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and related disciplines, serving as a valuable resource synthesising decades of research to advance understanding and practical application in the field.
