MGMT 180 "Technology Leadership"

Monday and Wednesday Mornings

Technology has fundamentally changed the lives of consumers, enterprises, economies and societies. For consumers, it has enabled broader and more convenient access to information, commerce, and connectedness. For enterprises, it has lowered costs, facilitated entry to and competition in new markets, deepened customer engagement, blurred traditional product/service lines, and created new challenges and threats of disruption. For enterprises and entrepreneurs alike, technology has created new product/service opportunities, new waves of growth, and new markets. This course will examine the dynamic nature of technology, the disruption and innovation taken to create new services with competitive advantages. We will explore a variety of industry-changing products and services, including connected devices (Internet of Things), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, over-the-top content and shared economy offerings. This course will also look at the concepts and models which have enabled these new services, threatened existing providers, changed competitive landscapes and blurred lines of service offerings. Such topics will include the role of standards, disruptive innovation, advertising-based business models, multi-sided platforms, cloud-based business models, and effects of competing convergence and unbundling. The class will also significantly focus on the increasing role and power of data as a predictive tool. While this course is focused on technology-based industries, the core learnings in strategy development, disruptive innovation and business models are relevant to numerous other industries.  

MGMT 163 "Entrepreneurship and New Product Development"

Tuesday and Thursday Mornings

New products are the lifeblood of any corporation and the cornerstone of any economy. Without expanding the product portfolio, any modern corporation can quickly succumb to competition and lose significant market share, or even be totally dis-intermediated. This phenomenon has been intensified with the advancements in digital economy. The innovation process has been significantly altered as a result of the impact of digital economy across all industries and markets. While most companies recognize the need for new products, not all such new products that are introduced to the market are successful. And even a smaller percentage can stand the test of time and reach significant market share or achieve resilient popularity. Innovation is one of the key drivers of making new products. We will examine the process of innovation and new product development and discuss the associated paradigms and success factors (through the case and class discussions).

This course is designed to help students deepen their understanding of new product innovation, development, and management. In the course the student will assume the role of a product developer or a product manager focused on developing a –new- concept into a new product (for a start-up or a mature corporation). This product developer/manager identifies, develops, and commercializes a new product according to the material presented in the class and the reading assignments. The course will seek to develop students’ critical thinking, decision-making skills, and creativity to develop and launch a successful new product (team project).

MGMT 180 "Applications and Business Models of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence"

Monday and Wednesday Afternoons

In today's business world, data is one of the most vital assets of any organization or business, and knowing how to manage, analyze, and glean insights from data sets is essential to making forward-looking and effective decisions. As a result, databases in which data is quality, protected, yet easily accessible and understandable have become the core of companies' intellectual infrastructures.

Similarly, data is essential to the functioning of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This course will provide a practical foundation in data science and artificial intelligence through the lens of industry examples.Students, both technical and non-technical, will gain a better general understanding of the facets of AI, its business applications today and in the future, its ethical and societal impacts, and how both data science and AI can be applied to students' future careers.

Faculty Summer Institute for Course (Re)Design

2023 Emphasis Areas: GE, Writing II, and Diversity Courses

Do you wish the course design process was a little less solitary? Is it hard to tell if your students are engaged and learning? You’re not alone! Join CAT’s summer learning community and work with peers and CAT staff to get a jump start on building out a 2023-24 course plan that is academically rigorous but also flexible , equitable , and–above all– authentic to YOUR teaching context and learning goals. Special emphasis areas for 2023: GE, Writing II, and Diversity courses.

CAT’s 2023 Faculty Summer Institute will be held on campus August 14-18 with workshops held daily from 10am-12pm Pacific Time (with Zoom contingency plans). Participants who satisfy all program requirements will receive a letter from CAT certifying completion and will be eligible to apply for up to $1,000 from CAT to support further teaching-related professional development. See below for details.

Dates and TImes

August 14-18, 2023

Workshops held daily on campus from 10am-12pm (PDT)

What is the Center for the Advancement of Teaching’s Faculty Summer Institute for Course (Re)Design?

CAT’s 2023 Faculty Summer Institute for Course (Re)Design is a facilitated learning community that provides support for instructors who are preparing to develop a new course or substantially revise an existing course to be offered during the 2023-24 academic year. You can expect to work closely with peers and CAT facilitators to build on lessons learned from your prior teaching experience and apply evidence-based practices to create or revise your course plan with an eye toward fostering equitable and effective learning for your students. We ask participants to apply with a specific course to work on, but the work you will complete in this institute is designed to support your teaching long-term. This institute is suitable for faculty who are creating a new course as well as those who are substantially revising an existing course, and is designed to support teaching in any modality. All interested faculty are encouraged to apply but space is limited . See below for additional information re: eligibility and priority curricular areas for 2023.

BENEFITS : In addition to the support of a learning community composed of faculty peers, CAT staff, and librarians, participants who successfully complete all program requirements receive a letter from CAT certifying completion and are eligible to apply for up to $1,000 from CAT to support further teaching-related professional development. Participation in CAT’s Faculty Summer Institute for Course (Re)Design can also be highlighted in your dossier to be recognized for your next merit or promotion.

DATE & TIME: August 14-18 with workshops daily from 10am-12pm PDT on campus (with Zoom contingency plans).

DEADLINE TO APPLY: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until July 10 (or until the program reaches capacity).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS : The design of this program was inspired in part by the Out of the Box initiative launched by the Division of Life Sciences and Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences . All workshop curriculum has been developed by CAT, with the exception of Workshop 3, which was developed in collaboration with the UCLA Library’s Writing Instruction & Research Education team (WI+RE). We have aligned program objectives and outcomes with UCLA’s Peer-Assisted Reflection on Student Learning program (PAROSL) and with the values of CAT’s instructional Improvement Group in order to better support faculty who participate in multiple programs supported by CAT and our campus partners.

QUESTIONS : Email Project Director Dr. Beth Goodhue , CAT Associate Director for Faculty Engagement.

What are past participants saying about CAT’s summer institute?

“The summer institute offered a unique opportunity to work with, and learn from, colleagues and CAT pedagogy experts. The materials I developed during institute have been invaluable. I plan to use them, and build on them, in the years to come.” – Muriel McClendon, Associate Professor of History and Associate Dean for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Social Sciences Division

“The summer institute definitely inspired me to be more flexible and creative in teaching and provided helpful information about useful tools to facilitate that as well as clear guidance for how to align these kinds of activities with course goals and assessment.” – Olivia Osei-Twumasi, Assistant Adjunct Professor and Director of Undergraduate Initiatives in the Department of Economics

Program Details

Learning objectives.

This program is organized around the following learning objectives, each of which is tied to a deliverable that you can use immediately in your teaching (and dossier):

• Increase transparency in course-level and assignment-level learning objectives [ deliverable: revised syllabus / assignment ]
• Adapt assessments to be more effective for student learning and equitable for all modalities of instruction [ deliverable: revised assignment ]
• Identify opportunities to scaffold learning and build community through intentional activities during and outside of class sessions [ deliverable: revised lesson plan / assignment ]
• Create a plan to collaborate effectively with TAs and other members of your teaching team to implement equity-minded course revisions that help students from all backgrounds and skill levels succeed [ deliverable: Teaching Innovation Plan + optional teaching team contract ]

Program Structure & Outcomes

Your work to meet the institute’s learning objectives will be supported through five hands-on two-hour workshops held on campus, as well as resources you can consult on your own time. See the schedule and details below. Each workshop will require approximately two hours of pre-work so that our synchronous time can be devoted to interactivity and engagement. Participants will access all pre-work and supplemental resources via a Bruin Learn site dedicated to the program. The institute culminates in the creation of revised course materials, as well as a short 1-2 page Teaching Innovation Plan documenting lessons learned and future directions.

Revised course materials and Teaching Innovation Plans must be submitted to CAT by September 15, 2023 to receive your letter certifying completion and to be eligible to apply for up to $1,000 from CAT to support further teaching-related professional development. Participants will also be invited to showcase their work in a CAT event. Extensions to the September 15 deadline can be granted on a case-by-case basis.

Eligibility

This program is open to all faculty assigned to teach during the 2023-24 academic year, including Senate Faculty, Non-Senate Faculty, teaching postdocs, and academic administrators. The program is suitable for faculty who are creating a new course as well as those who are substantially revising an existing course. Space is limited. Priority will be given to instructors teaching general education, Writing II, and diversity courses–but all interested faculty are encouraged to apply. We will build a wait-list in the event that the institute reaches capacity.

Admission to the program is contingent on availability to attend all workshops. We will have plans in place to pivot to Zoom meetings if the public health situation necessitates a shift to remote programming, but the expectation and hope is that this learning community will meet in person . Applicants will be asked to verify that they will be available to join us at UCLA from 10am-12pm on August 14-18. Light refreshments will be provided each day, along with an optional kick-off breakfast on Monday and a celebratory lunch following our final workshop on Friday.

Workshop Descriptions

Subject to change

Workshop 1: Foundations for Equitable and Effective Course Design

This kick-off workshop provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your teaching experience and guides you through core principles of backward design, as well as self-reflection and group activities to explore how our identities impact our roles as educators and examine ways that social identity threat and other forms of bias negatively impact students. This workshop culminates in an action planning activity to help ensure that your individual work in subsequent workshops aligns with goals that are authentic and meaningful for your specific teaching context.

Workshop 2: Interrupting Bias in Course Design

This workshop explores how various forms of bias impact course design, and helps you develop skills to interrupt bias when selecting and delivering course content and designing assignments and lessons. You will receive structured peer feedback on specific elements of your course design and will leave the workshop with a plan of action for revising your course plan to increase transparency and improve outcomes for all students.

Workshop 3: Scaffolding Instruction to Support Student Learning

In this hands-on workshop, CAT staff and members of the UCLA Library’s Writing Instruction & Research Education team (WI+RE) will introduce you to strategies for supporting students as they develop skills in research, writing, and critical thinking. After reflecting on common and hidden challenges students face, you will work in small groups with peers and librarians to scaffold high-stakes assignments and identify equitable and effective strategies for assessing student performance.

Workshop 4: Fostering Student Engagement

This practical session offers a deeper dive into equity-minded, evidence-based strategies for fostering student engagement in courses of any size and in any teaching modality. Our focus is on giving you an opportunity to experience accessible, high-impact teaching practices that can help support individual and collaborative learning inside and outside of class time. You will also have an opportunity to begin aligning activities with lessons for your specific course.

Workshop 5: From Action Planning to Action

This culminating workshop will provide an opportunity for you to showcase your course design work, receive peer feedback, and strategize with other participants about next steps—including ways to engage your TAs and other members of UCLA’s teaching support community in further developing and implementing your re-envisioned course. CAT facilitators will introduce you to strategies for developing a teaching team contract centered around equity, as well as resources to support your teaching beyond the duration of this institute.

Faculty who regularly teach required courses in the international development studies major speak about their courses and how they work collaboratively to build student knowledge of the subject matter.

UCLA International Institute, August 8, 2022 — International development studies (IDS) faculty who taught several of the major’s core required courses in the 2021–22 academic year worked to strengthen the cumulative pedagogy of their courses. The collaboration among these UCLA professors, all of whom have joint appointments in the International Institute and other departments — including Asian American studies and labor studies ( Jennifer Jihye Chun ), anthropology ( Hannah Appel ), sociology ( Kevan Harris ) and African American studies ( Alden Young ) — is part of the IDS program’s emphasis on reflexivity and critical engagement, says Chun, who became academic chair of the program on July 1 (see related article ). Introductory course “Jennifer spoke to me about what she wanted her students to know by the time they came into their second quarter of the IDS major. She wanted us to think about the progression of courses as building blocks for IDS students,” said Hannah Appel, associate professor of anthropology, who reworked the curriculum for Introduction to the International Development Studies (IDS 1) when she taught it for the first time in fall 2021. The introductory course was originally designed, with input from other IDS faculty, and taught by instructor Erica Anjum (UCLA IDS 2012, Africa Studies M.A. 2016) in 2018, who continues to regularly teach the course. “The central objective of IDS 1 is to engage students with debates around the widening patterns of disparities of wealth, power, privilege and access to social justice — as well as the policies, interventions and forms of citizen engagement intended to address them — both between and within the countries of the Global South and North,” says Anjum. “While the course is designed to be foundational for the IDS major, I hope it also helps students of all majors be more aware, empathetic and responsible citizens.”

Appel based her IDS 1 curriculum on a recent critical survey of development written by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel: “ The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets ” (Norton, 2018). With the exception of one “deep-dive” lecture on the role of racism in development, she assigned one chapter of the book and one primary source for each class. “In a very accessible way, Hickel tells the story of global inequality from conquest, by which he mostly means European colonialism, to the present day — both chronologically and thematically. It’s a scholarly account, but there are no footnotes or endnotes in the text itself [they are placed at the back],” comments Appel. “One of the things I heard repeatedly from my students, which was so exciting to me, was: ‘I liked this book so much, I told my parents to get it — my parents are reading it alongside me and we’re talking on Zoom about it.’ “The book is a great tool for introducing people to broad narratives that help them think differently about development, about capitalism and about the relationship between the U.S. and much of the rest of the world. Plus Hickel covers critical numeracy very well.” Required core courses Appel’s course laid the groundwork for Chun’s course — Culture, Power and Development (IDS 110) in winter quarter 2022. “I could really tell the difference in the students this year,” shares Chun, associate professor of Asian American and labor studies. “Hannah did a great job laying out the broad historical and contextual issues that shape issues of culture, power and development, so that when students got to my class, I could focus more on in-depth studies of particular countries and economic sectors.” “I have designed the course to focus on collective efforts that have taken place to democratize and decolonize development, which have been part of every major aspect of economic development over the past century,” explains Chun. “Cultural development is not a top-down history. It is a deeply contested process of destruction and transformation shaped by different people, groups and movements as they struggle to change the calculus of power over who gets what, how much — or how little — and why.” “Rather than focus primarily on leaders in business and government, we look closely at workers, peasants, migrants, women and indigenous communities as key actors of development,” says Chun. “We examine their strategies, organizations, dreams and aspirations, as well as the ways in which they have built solidarity movements within their countries and across national borders.”

Guest speakers are a crucial component of the course, enhancing students’ understanding of the difference that actors on the ground can make in demanding more just and equitable outcomes. This past year, students had the opportunity to hear directly from Adriana Paz Ramirez, the Latin America coordinator of the International Domestic Workers Federation, and Manuel Rodriguez Pumoral, chief of social protection and policy at UNICEF Jordan. In addition to Chun’s course, IDS 130 — Theory and History in International Development — was also offered in winter 2022 by Kevan Harris, associate professor of sociology. “This year, I sensed that students had acquired more cumulative knowledge when they arrived in class,” he says, echoing Chun. “In addition to presenting different explanations for how the world became so unequal by the 20th century, in the first part of the course we look at what [newly independent] states and their leaders and planners thought should be done in the 1950s and 1960s, the range of industrial policies and economic policies they tried and the various problems that those policies induced,” he explains. The second part of the class is devoted to regional historical surveys of East Asia (including China), South Asia, Latin America, Africa and the USSR (with attention to post-Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe). “The concepts of the first half of the class come back in a regional context and show up in the readings,” he says. “I have two reasons for focusing on different regions,” notes Harris. “One is that an unintended consequence of the critique of colonialism is that students have this idea of European colonialism as the sole foundation of global history. “But characteristics of regional economies prior to colonization, or prior to colonization by Europe, have a big effect on post-colonial development. Think of the long-lasting links between the Chinese empire and East Asian trade, the huge Indian Ocean world economy connecting East Africa and the Middle East to South Asia, or the massive imperial networks built in the pre-Columbian Americas.”

The second reason for a regional focus, he continues, is that “colonization was not a single thing. In some cases it was very short, in some cases, it was very long. In some cases, very shallow, and in some cases, very deep and transformative. “[The course] links regional histories to the different ways that postcolonial states have approached the problem of development — I think that’s my contribution to the major,” he comments. Harris pays particular attention to critical numeracy. “I want students to think of numbers the way they think of language: people use numbers to tell stories. And just as when you listen to someone tell a story, you can interpret it in different ways. “This relates to questions such as: How is poverty measured? How is inequality measured? We talk a lot about different ways of showing the same data, and how the different ways you show data tell a different story.” To close out the year, Alden Young taught IDS 140 — Decolonizing Political Economy: Colonialism and Development — in spring 2022. It was only the second time the course has been offered. “The course starts with the question of how development emerges from the beginning of the colonial experience. We look particularly at the abolition of the slave trade and the ways in which the discourse of development is tied to the discourse of abolition,” he says of the class, which intensively uses primary sources from developing countries. “We talk about how colonialism and development more or less merge out of a humanitarian impulse as two kinds of interrelated subjects,” says Young. “Then we look at the ways African and Middle Eastern scholars have tried to use development as a way to argue for the end of colonialism.” Young focuses on how the creation of developing countries is understood in the Global North. “It’s not like we were going to Africa to save Africa,” he comments. “A lot of the processes that cause poverty around the world are also the same processes that cause our wealth. I try to tell students that development can be used in many different types of political projects.” Faculty goals for students One sustained goal of the faculty is to teach IDS students critical thinking skills. “By critical, I mean being open to the idea that you might be wrong and the prevailing wisdom might be wrong,” comments Harris. “It means having students think about countervailing arguments and what kind of evidence would be needed to support one versus the other. “You also get students to think about complex problems as bundles of reasons that are sticky and that may or may not go together, but they’re not the same in every country. The goal is to nudge students away from single-bullet answers, whether it’s patriarchy or tradition or neoliberalism.” “I’m really impressed by IDS students,” says Chun. “They have a curiosity about the world that I relate to and am also inspired by. It’s a gift to work in a field where we are exposed to students like that — I really enjoy them.”

“We get a lot of students,” comments Young, “Some are from economics and interested in other ways of thinking about economics. And we get a lot of students who want to do development and humanitarian work. “Some students want to help the countries they come from and are interested in questions such as: What we can develop beyond just reproducing the system that we have? How can development do more than simply reinforce capitalism, as we understand it now? “The hardest thing is actually not making students too pessimistic,” says Young. “ I think our goal is to prepare them not to be naïve [if and] when they go into development.” Adds Chun, “We are trying to encourage students that if development or foreign policy plays to your strengths, figure out what the constraints are and what the possibilities are, and find the space to maneuver.”

UIC Summer Institute on Sustainability & Energy

July 5, 2021 - july 16, 2021.

The  Summer Institute on Sustainability and Energy (SISE)  is usually described as an annual two-week “boot camp” on energy and sustainability — but it’s much more. SISE is a “we,” a community invested in broad issues related to energy, the environment, and sustainability, and a space that values diverse people, disciplines, perspectives, and experiences. Within this space, we engage with future and current thought leaders and societal influencers. Through conversation, critical thinking, and community engagement, we create and share knowledge to shape the future.

SISE 2021 Theme: Finding Ecosystem

Since March 2020, the idea of staying within one’s “bubble” has been a necessary part of daily life. But bubbles are not new, and individuals have been in “bubbles” their whole lives. Some are elected, such as political or ideological affiliations, and some are assigned due to race or gender. We can move freely between some bubbles, and sometimes we can exist in two bubbles simultaneously.

Bubbles. Silos. Ecosystems. Depending on one’s frameworks, and whether we consider the micro or the macro levels, perspectives gained can be focused or broad, restrictive, or all-encompassing. So when we talk about “energy” and “environment” and “climate change,” what do we include and exclude in our individual and collective definitions, our “bubbles”? And what do we not know (that we don’t know) that would impact our personal opinions and collective choices?

In SISE 2021: Finding Ecosystem, we will consider the broad ecosystem of energy, how that fits into the response to climate change, and how a broad strategy inclusive of science, culture, and environmental justice can be catalysts for creating change. Selected Fellows will be asked to hone their critical thinking skills throughout as they engage experts and each other through rigorous discussion and debate.

SISE is free for everyone, participating Fellows and virtual attendees. When in-person, SISE also covers the cost of lodging in Chicago and often assists with transportation to and from the program, thanks to the Alvin H. Baum Family Fund’s kind contributions.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

USM’s Summer Field Program Offers Students Unique Coastal Research Opportunities

Mon, 04/01/2024 - 11:01am | By: Gabriela Shinskie

Jump aboard a research vessel and take in the beauty of the Mississippi Sound and unique barrier islands with the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Gulf Coast Research Laboratory’s (GCRL) Summer Field Program, in which students can study marine science in a coastal environment.

Located in Ocean Springs, Miss, the Summer Field Program was established in 1947 at Magnolia State Park; for decades, the program has helped students gain valuable experiences in ocean and marine sciences. It is housed in USM’s School of Ocean Science and Engineering (SOSE), and is offered in two summer sessions, with in-person and online options for undergraduate and graduate students looking to learn more about the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Dr. Laura Blackmon, associate director of the Marine Education Center, looks forward to the Summer Field Program’s 77 th year.

“The Summer Field Program will again bring expert marine science instructors together with students from across the region for amazing education experiences,” Dr. Blackmon said. “It has produced a wide network of alumni, including marine science researchers and educators working across the Gulf Coast and Coastal USM, as well as at numerous other colleges, universities, and marine labs nationwide.”

Classes are set both in a laboratory and field work setting, with USM research vessels allowing students to explore the Mississippi Sound. Overnight trips to the middle of the Gulf of Mexico allow students to fully study the beauty of the coastal habitats. On-site amenities include a dormitory, dining hall, library, and a research specimen museum.

The first session, offered in June, features courses such as shark biology, marine ecology, oceanography, coastal environments and restoration, and environmental photography. An online session offers a comprehensive overview of the biology of marine mammals.

The second session, offered in July, will focus on marine conservation and ichthyology, marine biology, and toxicology. An online session will be offered with a focus on marine invertebrate zoology. Academic credit will be awarded upon completion.

Dr. Kelly Darnell, director of the GCRL, described the uniqueness of the program and all it has to offer.

“Our Summer Field Program gives students the unique opportunity to live at the Gulf Coast Research Lab and be fully immersed in the environment and ecosystems they’re studying,” Dr. Darnell said. “For many students, this is their first experience with marine biology – I can’t think of a better or more memorable way to learn than to dive right in.”

A complete cost of undergraduate and graduate course fees along with room and board can be found online . A complete list of course offerings are available for both sessions. Admission deadline for early selection is April 5, 2024. The final deadline for all application materials to be submitted is May 1, 2024. For questions email , or call 228.818.8812.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
