The "Flora of Russia" project on iNaturalist brought together professional scientists and amateur naturalists from all over the country. Over 10,000 people are involved in the data collection. Within 20 months the participants accumulated over 750,000 photo observations of 6,853 species of the Russian flora. This constitutes the largest dataset of open spatial data on the country’s biodiversity and a leading source of data on the current state of the national flora. About 85% of all project data are available under free licenses (CC0, CC-BY, CC-BY-NC) and can be freely used in scientific, educational and environmental activities.

Department of Thermal Power Plants of MPEI proposed the concept of a boiler of 1000 MW for advanced ultra-supercritical parameters steam generation with M-shaped profile with invert furnace and output collectors which are located under a sloping gas boiler pass. The feasibility of using ultra super supercritical parameters is associated with the possibility of increasing the unit efficiency by 4.2%. The proposed scheme of coal combustion is a system of vertical-horizontal tangential flames. For the analysis of the scheme it is offered to use physical and mathematical methods of modeling of the boiler furnace. Physical modeling allows determining the trajectories of jets and revealing their ejection capacity. Mathematical modeling is carried out using the ANSYS aerodynamics computing complex and provides an opportunity to validate and verify the results obtained on the physical model. Then with the help of the ANSYS program, the modeling of the combustion process in a full-scale version of the boiler furnace will continue. These methods are used at the Department of Thermal Power Plants of MPEI for solving problems of the organization of aerodynamics and combustion in the boiler furnaces of power boilers with traditional profiles and can be applied to research solutions for boilers of new generations.
