Abstract:

The station Vostok is on the polar cap at an altitude of about 3500 m. Vostok comprises a special complex for geophysical research together with accommodation and power generating facilities. Its location far inland at a high altitude provides a unique astroclimate. From 1958 to 1980, the mean annual temperatures were -55.3°C at Vostok, -49.3°C at Amundsen-Scott (S. Pole), and -11.3°C at Mirny (near the coast). Mirny recorded an average of 199 days/year with strong wind, Vostok only 3.2. The mean number of days/month with heavy cloud were 3.4 at Vostok, 4.0 at Amundsen-Scott, and 6.6 at Mirny. The number of days/year with little cloud: Vostok : 361, Mirny : 174.

Abstract:

Abstract ––In this paper we present a stratigraphic scheme for the subdivision and correlation of the Cambrian deposits in the south of the cis-Yenisei area of West Siberia, which was adopted as a current scheme by the decision of the Interdepartmental Stratigraphic Committee in 2018. This scheme is based on the data from stratigraphic test wells (Lemok-1, Averinskaya-150, Tyiskaya-1, Vostok-1, Vostok-3, Vostok-4, etс.). In the study area, two structure-facies zones were identified: Kas (Lemok-1, Averinskaya-150, Tyiskaya-1, Vostok-4, and Eloguiskaya-1 wells), where sedimentary complexes accumulated in a salt subbasin, and Ket’ (Vostok-1 and Vostok-3 wells) with the deposition in an open sea basin. The boundary between these structure-facies zones is drawn along the inferred N–S-trending barrier reef zone. The rubrication in this paper is compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Stratigraphic Code of Russia for explanatory notes for regional stratigraphic schemes. Local stratigraphic subdivisions (formations, strata) are described and compared with the adjacent Turukhansk–Irkutsk–Olekma facies region of the Siberian Platform.

Abstract. This study aims at refining the synchronisation between the EPICA Dome C (EDC) and Vostok ice cores in the time interval 0–145 kyr BP by using the volcanic signatures. 102 common volcanic events were identified by using continuous electrical conductivity (ECM), di-electrical profiling (DEP) and sulfate measurements while trying to minimize the distortion of the glaciological chronologies. This is an update and a continuation of previous works performed over the 0–45 kyr interval that provided 56 tie points to the ice core chronologies (Udisti et al., 2004). This synchronisation will serve to establish Antarctic Ice Core Chronology 2012, the next synchronised Antarctic dating. A change of slope in the EDC-depth/Vostok-depth diagram is probably related to a change of accumulation regime as well as to a change of ice thickness upstream of the Lake Vostok, but we did not invoke any significant temporal change of surface accumulation at EDC relative to Vostok. No significant phase difference is detected between the EDC and Vostok isotopic records, but depth shifts between the Vostok 3G and 5G ice cores prevent from looking at this problem accurately. Three possible candidates for the Toba volcanic super-eruption ~73 kyr ago are suggested in the Vostok and EDC volcanic records. Neither the ECM, DEP nor the sulfate fingerprints for these 3 events are significantly larger than many others in the records.

Abstract:

This article examines the question of the possible existence of microbial life inhabiting the subglacial Lake Vostok buried beneath a 4 km thick Antarctic ice sheet. It represents the results of analysis of the only available frozen lake water samples obtained upon the first lake entry and subsequent re-coring the water frozen within the borehole. For comparison, results obtained by earlier molecular microbiological studies of accretion ice are included in this study, with the focus on thermophiles and an unknown bacterial phylotype. A description of two Lake Vostok penetrations is presented for the first time from the point of view of possible clean water sampling. Finally, the results of current studies of Lake Vostok frozen water samples are presented, with the focus on the discovery of another unknown bacterial phylotype w123-10 distantly related to the above-mentioned unknown phylotype AF532061 detected in Vostok accretion ice, both successfully passing all possible controls for contamination. The use of clean-room facilities and the establishment of a contaminant library are considered to be prerequisites for research on microorganisms from Lake Vostok. It seems that not yet recorded microbial life could exist within the Lake Vostok water body. In conclusion, the prospects for searching for lake inhabitants are expressed with the intention to sample the lake water as cleanly as possible in order to make sure that further results will be robust.

Abstract:

Negli ultimi anni, stiamo assistendo a una diffusione esponenziale di ricerche e applicazioni riguardanti la robotica e la visione artificiale. I robot devono operare autonomamente sulla base di informazioni derivanti da sensori o sistemi di visione. A causa della variabilità di questi dati, è obbligatorio testare la sicurezza, l’efficienza e la robustezza di qualsiasi nuovo algoritmo per mezzo di simulazioni realistiche e affidabili. Parallelamente, manca ancora un prodotto che permetta di accelerare e migliorare la formazione di studenti ed operatori industriali non specializzati. Cercando di affrontare tutti questi problemi in un’unica soluzione, introduciamo un potente software di simulazione, chiamato Vostok, che permette di interagire con robot, sistemi di visione e sensori in un ambiente operativo dinamico. Vostok mira ad aiutare produttori, sviluppatori, ricercatori e studenti fornendo un’interfaccia guidata e facile da usare attraverso la quale progettare, programmare e testare macchine autonome. Questo lavoro mira a raggiungere tre obiettivi. 1. Fornire una soluzione totalmente gratuita che incoraggi gli individui che vogliono sperimentare la robotica ma non riescono a causa degli alti costi di hardware e software. 2. Permettere alle aziende di testare i nuovi progetti in un ambiente sicuro e, di conseguenza, ridurre i lunghi tempi di installazione. Questo permette agli sviluppatori di implementare il processo di automazione più velocemente e in sicurezza. 3. Sfruttare le tecniche di deep learning a livello industriale. Uno dei problemi principali riguarda la disponibilità di dati per addestrare questi sistemi. Con questo obiettivo in mente, vorremmo essere in grado di generare dataset di immagini sintetiche. Il lavoro presentato in questa tesi è stato realizzato in collaborazione con Euclid Labs, che ha condiviso le sue idee, l’esperienza e ha fornito gli strumenti necessari per validare i risultati.
In the last few years, we are experiencing an exponential proliferation of research and applications concerning robotics and machine vision. Robots are required to autonomously operate based on information derived from sensors or vision systems. Due to the variability in this data, it is mandatory to test the safety, efficiency, and robustness of any new algorithm by means of realistic and reliable simulations. In parallel, there is still a lack of a product that can accelerate and improve the training of students and non-specialized industrial workers. Trying to address all these issues in a unique solution, we introduce a free powerful simulation software, called Vostok, that allows interacting with robots, vision systems and sensors within a dynamic operating environment. Vostok aims to help manufacturers, developers, researchers and students by providing a guided and user friendly interface through which to design, program and test autonomous machines. This work aims to achieve three objectives. 1. Provide a totally free solution that encourages individuals who want to experiment with robotics but fail due to high hardware and software costs. 2. Allow companies testing their projects within a safe environment and, consequently, to cut down long installation time. This enables developers to deploy the automation process faster and more confidently. 3. Exploit deep learning techniques at industrial level. One of the main problems regards the availability of data to train those systems. With this aim in mind, we would like to be able of generating datasets of synthetic images. The work presented in this manuscript was carried out in collaboration with Euclid Labs, who shared their ideas, experience and provided the necessary tools to validate the results.

Abstract:

Lake Vostok, der größte der über 70 subglazialen Seen in der Antarktis, ist derzeit einer der Forschungsschwerpunkte der geowissenschaftlichen Polarforschung. Der See erstreckt sich unter einer 4 000 m dicken Eisschicht auf über 250 km Länge mit einer Wassertiefe von bis zu 1 000 m. Ziel der hier vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Untersuchung des Einflusses der Gezeiten auf den Wasserstand des Sees, die eine bisher nicht betrachtete Komponente in der Zirkulation im See darstellen. Auf Grund seiner Ausdehnung ist das Gezeitenpotential an verschiedenen Punkten auf dem See nicht gleich, sondern weist differentielle Unterschiede auf. Unter der Annahme, dass sich die Seeoberfläche entlang einer Äquipotentialfläche ausrichtet, ergeben sich Gleichgewichtsgezeiten des Sees mit Amplituden von bis zu 4,6 mm für die größte ganztägige Tide K1 und 1,8 mm für die größte halbtägige Tide M2. Differenzen des Luftdruckes zwischen Nord- und Südteil des Sees rufen zusätzlich einen differentiellen inversen Barometer-Effekt hervor. Der inverse Barometer-Effekt besitzt im wesentlichen die spektralen Eigenschaften eines roten Rauschens. Die Variationen erreichen bis zu +/- 20 mm. Zum messtechnischen Nachweis derartiger Höhenänderungen an der Eisoberfläche über dem See wurden drei unterschiedliche Verfahren herangezogen. Differentielle GPS-Messungen zwischen einem Punkt auf aufliegendem Eis und einem zweiten in der südlichen Seemitte bestätigen die Modellvorstellungen und zeigen sowohl mit der Luftdruckdifferenz korrelierte Höhenänderungen als auch Höhenänderungen mit ganz- und halbtägigen Perioden. Die SAR-Interferometrie als flächenhaft arbeitende Methode zur Bestimmung von Höhenänderungen lässt den räumlichen Verlauf der Deformation erkennen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich die Aufsetzzone auf dem etwa 50 km breiten See bis in die Seemitte ersteckt. Erdgezeitenregistrierungen, die im Jahr 1969 in der Station Vostok durchgeführt wurden, zeigen zwar Auffälligkeiten wie etwa einen stark erhöhten Luftdruckregressionskoeffzienten und einen Phasenvorlauf der K1-Tide, diese können jedoch nicht eindeutig als Resultat von Höhenänderungen der Seeoberfläche identifiziert werden. Auf Grund der Lage der Station Vostok nahe dem Ufer des Sees ist die Deformation dort schon stark gedämpft. Die zu erwartenden Effekte liegen daher unterhalb der Auflösung der damaligen Messungen. Damit sind die theoretischen Grundvorstellungen über die Reaktion des subglazialen Sees auf Gezeiten- und Luftdruckanregungen herausgearbeitet, sowie diese Effekte mit zwei unabhängigen und komplementären Messverfahren nachgewiesen
Lake Vostok, the largest of more than 70 subglacial lakes in the Antarctic, is one of the prominent topics of recent geoscientific polar research. The lake extends beneath the 4,000 m thick ice sheet to a length of more than 250 km with a water depth of up to 1,000 m. This thesis aims to investigate the influence of tides on the lake level which has not been considered so far in the discussion of water circulation within the lake. Due to the extent of the lake the tidal potential at different positions on its surface is not equal but exhibits a differential effect. Under the assumption of the lake level to be parallel to an equipotential surface the equilibrium tides of the lake yield amplitudes of up to 4.6 mm for the largest diurnal tidal constituent K1 and 1.8 mm for the largest semi-diurnal wave M2. In addition, differences in air pressure between the northern and the southern part of the lake result in a differential inverse barometric effect. This effect shows red noise characteristics with variations of up to +/- 20 mm. Three different types of measurements were used to verify corresponding height changes of the ice surface above the lake. Differential GPS measurements between one station on grounded ice and one in the southern centre of the lake confirm the concept and show height changes correlated to air pressure differences as well as changes with diurnal and semi-diurnal periods. SAR interferometry as a spatial method to determine height changes reveals the areal extent of the deformation with a grounding zone extending to the centre of the about 50 km wide lake. Gravimetric earth tide data recorded at Vostok Station in 1969 show pecularities such as an increased regression with air pressure and a phase lead of the K1 tide. However, these effects cannot be explicitly attributed to height changes of the lake surface. Due to the position of the station near the edge of the lake the effect is highly attenuated and below the noise level of these measurements. This work introduces the concept of the response of the subglacial lake to the tidal potential and to air pressure forcings and presents evidence for the effect by two different techniques proving the validity of the model

Abstract:

Shortly after the February 2014 Euromaidan revolution which ousted pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, Russia orchestrated a rapid and mostly bloodless annexation of the Crimea. Following the removal of Ukrainian authority from the peninsula, the Kremlin focused simultaneously on legitimizing the annexation via an electoral reform in Crimea and fermenting political unrest in the Donbas. As violence broke out in the Donbas, anti-Ukrainian government militias were formed by defecting Ukrainian security forces members, local volunteers, and volunteers from Russia. The Kremlin provided extensive support for these militias which sometimes even came in the form of direct military intervention by conventional Russian forces. However, the use of state-sponsored militias by Russia is not a new phenomenon. Since the end of the Cold War, the Russian Federation has been relying on militias to help stabilize local security environments, and more recently, achieve foreign security policy objectives in the Near Abroad. By tracking the history of Vostok (East) Battalion during its two distinctly different iterations, first as a militia for the Yamadayev family which operated primarily in Chechnya as well as briefly in South Ossetia and Lebanon and then as separatist formation in Eastern Ukraine, my thesis seeks to examine why Russia uses militias. Using the theoretical frameworks of principle-agent relations and organizational hierarchy, my thesis examines post-Soviet military reforms to contextualize the Kremlin's rationale for utilizing militia groups as well as analyzing the costs and benefits Moscow ultimately incurs when it leverages militias as force projection assets domestically and in the Near Abroad.

Abstract:

Abstract In January 1998, the Vostok project team, under the collaboration between American, Russian and French scientists, discovered and mined an underground ice core of 3,623m deep in the East Antarcitica.1) As a result of the study on this ice core, the climate conditions of the earth for the past four hundred and twenty thousand years came out clearly, as if it were recorded on a magnetic tape, as shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that the data on concentration of CO2, CH4 and temperature among others for this period signal a warning for future activities of the entire humankind of the earth.1)
